I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

#personal #delete later #no patrick. “black washing” is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together #seeing people in my reblogs talk about “reverse racism” and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy #say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices #in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony #redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation #(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite #if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc #if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same #if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same #while i agree that “black washing” can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level #a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you #i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics #and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with #if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter #i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures #(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years #i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing #classic bixels “i'm not talking about this chat. i'm not” (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

“It’s gross if Katara marries Zuko since he’s her colonizer” she overthrew the last Fire Lord to put Zuko on the throne. If anything the Fire Nation would be worried that he’s Katara’s puppet

#“Katara and Zuko are like Pocahontas and John Smith” yeah if Pocahontas toppled the British Empire and made John Smith run it #Trivia: the episode The Puppetmaster foreshadows the geopolitical conflict stemming from the paranoia that Fire Lord Zuko is a puppet king #Especially since palace servants can confirm that he is a simp for Master Katara of the Southern Water Tribe #Tbh installing a ruler in line w your interests is actually a classic colonialism move so she reverse UNO’ed the whole situation #Zutara #pro zutara #anti anti zutara #fire lady katara #ATLA colonization discourse

They are friends now!! they are going to miss each other!!#Also say goodbye to the PD-MDZS jin ling classic outfit. I'm gonna be changing it up a bit the next time he comes around.#The hat stays ON though.#This was originally going to be comic 100 which is why there's a funny continuity fix gag #because yes - at some point I forgot to draw JL's vermillion mark and decided to keep going with it to eventually correct it in a comic.#This has been plauging me for months. Thank you to everyone who noticed and decided to say nothing.#I try my best to have consistency within my very simply character designs but I am forgetful...and often drawing these at 3am.#wwx is embodying mums and aunties with their stain removing lick and rub. Except in reverse (adding a mark).#Where does the red come from? You don't want to know.

The robins are always calm, cool, collected. This goes for all the Batkids, no matter what stage they are (robin, pre robin, post robin, alive from being dead robin) so imagine the utter fear, the horror every single member of the Justice League feels, literal gods and metas, when one of their composures snaps. Why? Because the Batman has gone missing.

#batman #batfam #we all know the classic #bruce snaps when one of his robins is hurt or missing etc #give me the reversal #give me dick flipping out when superman brings him back from a mission injured #even though thats his childhood hero he rips the alien a new one #give me red hood storming into the tower screaming obsceneties because bruce is late and hes never late #give me red robin stalking into a meeting room dealthy calm and demanding they give him all information on batmans last location #give me spoiler dropping from the ceiling vents onto the table #wrapping a rope around wonder womans neck as leverage #give me orphan appearing behind superman and shoving kryptonite into his side and refusing to remove it until they give her back her dad #give me barbara gordon hacking everyones phones so they cant do anything #give me feral robins who will do anything to get their batman back #batman and robin #batfamily #batkids

Thousands of hours of drawing practice, and THIS is what I'm using it for.

Merry Christmas, you degenerates.

‘Tch… Pretender class, huh? Well then, good, good. ‘Henry Jekyll’, nice to meet ya. Hm? What about Hyde? Don’t worry, Master, Hyde won’t cause that much trouble.

… right, Hyde?’’

my friend is biggest Jekyll and Hyde simp so I proposed 5★ Pretender Hyde and accidentally murdered my friend with it

#fate grand order #fgo #edward hyde #idk but their lore reversed so in Pretender reading it’s Hyde who was original personality all along #unable to fit into pressure or society he created Jekyll and eventually got suppressed him him #so effectively he was replaced by Jekyll and became ‘Hyde’#while potion effectively is what allowed him to gain senses and dormancy what made him completely snap #ANYWAY it’s weird to explain but basically Assassin/Bersekrer combo is classic reading of Jekyll being original personality #pretender one is reading of Hyde being original one but heavily suppressed to the point of losing sense of original self under restrictions

Being raised in the 90s still has me limiting my Counter Bullying shenanigans. But dammit, it feels good to delete my own comment, which had connected to retaliatory scoffs, and then commenting again when supporting a friend.
