"why couldn't shuro have just been honest about what he felt with laios and falin it's not that hard" are you. are you White

#dungeon meshi #shuro #toshiro nakamoto #look you can hate him for other things but this is very clearly a case of cultures (& personalities influenced by these cultures) clashing #shuro is japanese/east asian-coded and laios is european white boy #i am not japanese but i also come from a collectivistic society #pakikisama is a filipino value both prized and abhorred #it relies heavily on being able to read social cues and prior knowledge of societal norms #shuro being from a different country/culture is important to his character #his repressed nature is meant to contrast with laios' open one like that's the point #they both had similar upbringings but different coping mechanisms #shuro explicitly admits that he's jealous of laios being able to live life sincerely #anyway the point is they were operating on different expectations entirely and neither had healthy enough communication skills #to hash things out before they got too bad #re his attraction to falin i personally believe he unfortunately mpdg-ed her #she represented something new & different. a fresh drink of water for his parched repressed self #alas not meant to be #i'll be honest the way ryoko kui handles both fantasy & regular racism in dm is more miss than hit for me #i don't doubt that a lot of the shuro hate is based off of marcille's pov of him #marcille famously racist 😭#characters' racist views don't often get (too) challenged #practically everyone is casually racist at some point #anyway. again if you're gonna hate shuro at least hate him for being complicit in human trafficking & slavery #he couldn't help falling for the wrong woman goddamn 😭#calemonsito notes

if you say "this cosplayer is literally better than azula's actress in the live action!!" and then show me a white woman i will personally set fire to your house

#rea's rambling #atla #azula #atla live action #you dont think shes more accurate. you thinks shes prettier because you cannot let go of white beauty standards and think that every woman #must abide by said standards and all women must be beautiful in order for you to like them #i havent watched the atla live action but fucking obviously azula's actress is asian you fucking idiot AZULA IS ASIAN #they could never make me hate you elizabeth yu

Something I have always wondered, especially now with him talking to Lois Liando, is how you think Kal thinks about his ability to pass himself off as a white American when so many people can't. I am very easily white passing, and in a lot of ways it makes me feel like there will always be a permanent gap between myself and my ancestors.

I already did a comic about that actually!

He does feel angst over not being able to openly connect to Lois because of how he passes as a white american man and having to keep his identity a secret. Superman wants to live a normal human life too, but when that "normal life" is a pretty privileged one that means denying your truth and connection to others? It sucks! And is something he works through internally- figuring out how to extend allyship and solidarity without over stepping.

#askjesncin #i am SO happy that people are clocking how the 2 person Clois love triangle dynamic is different now that Lois is Asian #the added depth is that she sees Superman as someone she can connect to and Clark is just some white guy at work

atla: creates a fantasy world with groups of people and cultures that were heavily inspired by real-world cultures and ethnicities; with proper research done so that there are no harmful stereotypes

spop: uhhh fuck it this cat-human hybrid is latina despite not even having a proper origin. also we have poc characters who just have poc features for the sake of representation, and have no culture surrounding their ethnicity.

#a+ for worldbuilding this is how you do it fellas #/s #spop critical #spop salt #spop criticism #spop discourse #spop #she ra #anti spop #anti nate stevenson #anti crew-ra #like people say that glimmer is asian but apart from.. certain features‚ i don't really see why she's considered asian?#oh and the fact that she was voiced by an asian woman #that seems to be the root of most headcanons (except catra bc she was voiced by a white woman lol)

Man I really do not like the white savior shit that the show is doing in regards to Ruby. Beyond the fact it doesn't work (wouldn't a lot more people be pissed at Ruby bc she caused worldwide panic that would have ensued in Grimm attacks?) the obvious racist connotations there are... egh.

#rwde #before anyone comes at me with ''ruby isn't white she's asian!''#it doesn't change the fact that she's pasty pale with a bunch of dark-skinned people in vacuo praising her!!!#i'm so sorry i cannot fucking stand that #I could go on a whole separate rant with how the fandom treats ethnicities with canon rvvby honestly #NOT fanon you can do whatever you want with that but jesus #people want to claim rvvby is a lot more diversive than it actually is

everytime an artist / colorist forgets Linda Park is korean a fairy loses her wings

#it makes me sad when I see her drawn with clear western features #or even when she does have east asian features she sometimes is just as pale as the white cast #like when she was introduced she was noticeably darker than wally #linda park #flashfam #dc comics #flash

#Poison ivy is black or south Asian u can't change my mind #Everytime I open a comic & she's white I get jump scared #Ask #Asks

a doodle of cress as i'm finishing up the tlc reread. i have about a billion different ideas of what she looks like so every time i draw her, it's a bit different. she's central asian in this one :]

#emieclat #the lunar chronicles #cress darnel #'why central asian' well you see every time i see someone claim cinder can't be asian because she's lunar #i'm just going to draw one of the other lunar characters as asian too #and if people want to get mad at me because 'uh cress is white??' i can say what? no she's not. she's lunar #ohh i keep forgetting that canonically winter is half asian!!#half indian to be exact

It is my god given mission to NOT draw fakir as a white boy idc what’s canon, this interview annoys me so bad

[ID: rough transcript of an interview with Ikuko Itoh. Someone asks “since fakir is an Arabic word, does that mean fakir is Arab and/or was he intentionally made to look so, and if so why?” The transcriber writes “her response to this is that while in her mind he is not Arab, she wouldn’t rule out the possibility that fakir has Arab ancestry in his family tree”]

WHY’D YOU GIVE HIM AN ARABIC NAME THEN?? It’s okay mr fakir I won’t let her whitewash you

#that one Reddit thread that’s like my friends want to name their white baby jungkook #maybe there’s an argument for him being named after an Arabic word rather than a proper common name BUT #I did my research and all instances I can find of fakir being used as a first name are middle eastern or south Asian men #hmmmmm 🤔🤔#tho disclaimer I’m white so I’m not the person to be complaining about this #I’m sure someone can articulate the ick much better than I can #or maybe I’m complaining about nothing who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#anyways when I draw fakir he’s Arab btw #like mixed ig because drossy is in there somewhere #princess tutu #like urghhhh the vibes I get are that she chose the name because she thinks it’s cool and mysterious but I’m like. GIRL #ITS AN ARABIC NAME

does anyone know anything abt interracial marriage/relationships between 2 ppl of different races who weren’t white in the US the early-mid 20th century bcz googles fucking useless

#specifically the legality of it #all the stuff i can find is abt white ppl marrying poc not anything abt if a middle eastern person could marry an east asian person or what #for context i’m writing a fic nd wanna know if id be able to make this character (who was 20 in the 50s) mixed and have her parents be #married #also wanna know if id have to make the guy she’s into/the girl he’s into the same race as her for the story to work #20th century america stop being so racist it’s making my job very hard #ryan shut the fuck up

Thistle being a brown child who was parentified growing up vs. Kabru being a brown child who was infantilized growing up so interesting....

#📜 muse's voice #I didn't think about this until I saw a twt mutual bring it up but now it's all I can think about 😭#I do think it's intentional too.. kui has made some comics that are commentary on real world racism dynamics #(that side comic with Shuro where Laois was basically like 'what the hell?! This guy looks different!' 😭)#The racial dynamics with Kabru and his adopted mom are human / elf but also brown / white which adds another layer to it #Elves see 'short lived races' as something to dote over...#Rinsha has a similar thing too though it's not explored as much #But she's an Asian human girl adopted by elves who treated her badly iirc
