So upset about the fact that there are artists who whitewash Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3, like ... That man has bronze skin (human form) not LIGHT PINK 💀 And then when I point it out and that it's not okay, leaving a tip on how to avoid that mistake next time, they don't know what I'm talking about and are offended!

"I color-picked from a screenshot" DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT HIM ONCE

"Why do you come to my post und comment something like this???" AS IF I CALLED YOU NAMES OR SOMETHING, omgg

It can happen that you pick the wrong skin color, that's okay, especially as an artist without much experience, but listen to other artists who point out to you that that character looks whitewashed, be open to LISTEN and AVOID picking the absolutely wrong skin color next time. Simple.

Glad blocking exists 🫶🏽

#Had to vent #It keeps happening to so many amazing characters #Zevran #Fenris #It happens to them to this day #Like what's wrong with people.#Then acting offended?? And calling my language abrasive??#Lmaoo I said it looks whitewashed and this is how you can avoid it next time #That's it #They absolutely didn't get it #Not even the concept #Most people would at least listen and be like okay thanks ill try better next time #it's not that hard to get more than one reference and NOT to colorpick the brightest of them all #Whitewashing is such a serious problem and those people still don't take it seriously #I just don't wanna see my bronze boys white - it's traumatizing and it stings
