So since it’s Juneteenth, I feel like it’s the perfect time to bring time to bring up how badly this fandom treats black characters.

Specifically starting with Licorice Cookie, since not only is his blackness often overlooked if not outright denied. And in the occasion that it isn’t, it’s often treated as a joke. (DISCLAIMER: I am not a black person but just a bystander who has witnessed all these issues unfold over the years, and I’m deciding to speak out on behalf of my black friends who have helped me put this thread together)

While many characters in cookie run do have dark brown skin, none of them are as undeniably black-coded as Licorice and Poison Mushroom. For his cultural references to hoodoo/voodoo to the full on Micheal Jackson inspired costume for B.A.D4, and even as blatant as the Licorice hair that’s similar to dreads and twists, he is UNDENIABLY black. And this is where the main issues start to arise from the fandom, because to this day I’m still seeing people either white-wash him in art and remove his BLACK hairstyles.

Despite Licorice Cookie being visibly not brown or dark brown of dough color, he still had more black coding than majority of other characters. Which in turn, makes him black. Now let us actually talk about some of the main issues other than whitewashing that I’ve seen happen with this character.

Starting with how he was IMMEDIATELY replaced as a tumblr seximan upon people realizing that he’s black. To people having a bit too much fun calling him ugly and insulting him to the point where some of the jokes feel less like jokes and just feel like racist. (While I do enjoy bullying him as a joke I know that there’s a limit to those jokes and lines that should never be crossed)

While he is a villain, a lot of people are very eager (if not too eager) to joke about him being brutally hurt, killed or worse under the excuse of being a villain. This is especially eyebrow raising when you consider that other COD don’t get that type of treatment in terms of jokes.

This gets to the point where I have seen MULTIPLE drawings of him being hung. This shouldn’t even exist and the fact that it does shows how little people care.

Another thing I want to add is that the reason people calling him “ugly” in masses is becoming less and less of a joke is because ppl dont view nor conprehend that black people especially black nerds or “losers” can be attractive to others and they dont think they deserve the same amount of attention as the others.

End of thread 🦇

Finally made a small quick ref for Nori Cookie! For @briskchips Culinary Empire AU thingy

She’s a rival Sushi chef to Beef Wellington Cookie and they both have year long beef with each other.

She’s 22 years old and runs her family sushi restaurant after her father and older sibling crumbled.

She’s very competitive and cares about her restaurant the most.

Nori Cookie is very quick to overwork herself as she’s very picky with who she employs and therefore ends up doing a lot of things on her own.

Here’s another small Sprite for her in the cookie run style
