An Honest Apology
Many of you might be confused with this since this didnā€™t got popular or talked about; but it was for the better to not keep myself silent.
(disclaimer: Iā€™m not an english speaker and Iā€™m aware that this apology might be worded weirdly)
A few months ago; almost a year, I published here and my DA a drawing (and a pfp) of a Wendigo persona that I did for Halloween. It didnā€™t got much attention nor anyone saw something wrong with it, therefore, I couldnā€™t see the big time mistake that I just committed. You see, since I donā€™t live in the US I donā€™t really know much about their culture, much less Native American culture. Most of the info I have for myths and weird critters is through here, the internet. I tried to do someĀ ā€œresearchā€ of the Wendigo but it wasnā€™t enough, for the most part of my life I always believed that theĀ  Wendigo was a funny haha cryptid, you know...like mothman. (oh boy I was so wrong..) Most of the references that I got from this creature was from google images so I thoughtĀ ā€œhey...If I try to depict this creature as accurately as I can, maybe I can do something cool with it..ā€ but at the end of the day It was highly offensive.Ā 
Months later, I realized that these drawings were pretty racist, since the Wendigo is a creature that Native Americans take VERY seriously, and I wasnā€™t aware of that fact at all, so I deleted them. I wasnā€™t sure if I needed to apologize since no one saw these drawings (nor Iā€™m going to show them, In my opinion I think itā€™s for the better to forget about them) but as I said in the beggining, itā€™ll be worse if I didnā€™t say a thing about this.
I also want to add that I wanted to portray Wendigos as part of my passion project called Siblings of the Dawn (or ThunderFeathers for some old followers) before all of this happened. Since big part of the world building is about different myths and folklore coming to life. But I decided to not to. In exchange, I tried to make an original species that are inspired by Wendigos (at least the image rather than the myth itself) instead of adding actual Wendigos. (they are still a prototype and I would thank a lot if you could give me some feedback) Theyā€™re called Forest Spirits (or soul harvesters), theyā€™re tiny anthro looking shadows with lion-like tails, some rigged clothing and wear skulls of different animals; their main task is to control the overpopulation of souls that avenā€™t found a body, some of them eat the bad souls, and others try to guide them to newborn bodies. I never made this public but I thought It was better to also put it in here.
Iā€™m terribly sorry and I hope you can forgive me.
Also, quick note: PLEASE donā€™t try to defend me or commentĀ ā€œbut you didnā€™t do anything wrong! this isnā€™t cultural appropiation!!ā€ itā€™s really insensitive of you, MOSTLY if youā€™re not a Native American and donā€™t participate of this religion/culutre. This apology isnā€™t for you, itā€™s for the ones I hurt. Hope you can understand.

Last year, The HRC (Human Rights Campaign), reported that in 2019 alone, at least 26 trans and gender nonconforming people were killed in the United States alone. Disproportionately, Black trans people were the victims. Those I have illustrated here, do not even scratch the surface of what is, and should be recognised as, an epidemic. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we do whatever we can to support the black trans community.Ā

I hate politics but human rights are human rights and they canā€™t be ignored.

If you donā€™t want to watch the whole videoĀ just open a new tab on a new window, turn off ad blocker and mute the tab!! DONā€™T REPLAY IT, PAUSE IT OR SKIP IT!! close the window, watch some videos and then find the video again or it wonā€™t work!! ALSO, donā€™t forget to share this link with others!!!
Hope it helps, stay safe šŸ’•
