Just from a design standpoint, it's very disappointing that all the folks with bright, light color schemes (Yang, Weiss, Sun, etc) are also light skinned when it would be best to make them dark skinned - Sun and Yang especially given how little representation dark skinned Asians have

By doing this, Yang would finally be free of those awful brown slops of outfits while Sun and Weiss would stop disappearing into their white clothes because ☆~contrast~☆ would finally exist

#rwde #i watched the video of a darker black woman skate-dancing in a bright yellow outfit and she was so beautiful #its one of the best videos on the internet hands down #but it really would be nice for darker skinned asians to have their time to shine bc the colorism is p abhorrent #love how white supremacy taints literally every culture on the planet (: its so great (: love every second (:#either way it just makes sense yeah? if you want a hard bright color like yellow to be your main color then you gotta balance it w darkness #instead of attempting to desaturate it w the most vomit looking colors known to man #and im not saying we HAVE to do this #esp w weiss considering her story v much follows the White Mindset #and changing her race would have some v negative impacts on her arc and implications for the audience #it would feel too close to the derailing argument of 'well black people in africa had white slaves so it evens out!!1!' imo #for weiss specifically they need to bring back gradients and lining the outfits w her teammates colors so it doesnt blend w her skin #for Sun they need to bring back his FUCKING MELANIN #and also make him hairy instead of a twink but thats my personal beef. i like my men looking like a rug lmao #for yang they need to figure out her damn colors bc shes dom yellow but theres also orange brown and a spot of purple #what the hell are yall going for here??#idk im thinking abt colors today bc im in an artsy mood lol
