@Hinaton27 There’s no harm in headcanoning stuff, the issue is treating things that are clearly shown or hinted/established as fantasy. As that translates into possible discrimination & racism in the real world if we are to consider from the starting point of this debate her race as “fake”
@Hinaton27 Expanding upon his identity or exploring more aspects of due to why taking that away ruins his character. Sorry about the rant. Also context also matters.
If there’s a clear cultural inspiration or significance then you can always add things which is why head canons are that.
@Hinaton27 Done spitefully
For example, you have an anime character let’s say, Saiki K
While yes his cultural background is important to his character, adding features that you yourself have is done to better relate and see a character you love similar to yourself. Which I feel is sweet
@Hinaton27 I feel like again context, usually reimaginings aren’t done with harmful intentions & they aren’t taking anything away, they still show love for the character by trying to relate to them or see themselves in them, on the opposite end, taking away from a character is usually is-
@Ragranji3@saiiteru Awwww it seems your the delusional one if you can’t identify how fiction does in fact reflect reality in certain cases, Are you ok?
@Hinaton27 Because one is done with harmful intent is the other is done with more of idea or imagining how a character would appear in a certain context
@dF5eLskAaZCUB9S@Ky3Master I dare you to look up early depictions of black characters in dragon ball (police chief) and Jinx (Pokémon’s) previous design
@Hinaton27 It’s actually reallllllllly simpllllllle
See one is taking awayyyyyyyyy culture righttttt? The other is adding onto it, not taking anything away but imaging the character as themselves while still retaining the characters original cultural background. Seeeeee easy righttttt?
