Sorry, I'm just so sick of dealing with people like this and have to see nonblack people gaslighting us about what counts as antiblack racism, which to them doesn't include stereotypes, blackface, or microaggressions. I just want my community to be free from this bullshit...
Saying that African Americans denouncing digital blackface is virtual LYNCHING is beyond ignorant. And putting the existence of our culture in quotations only to equate our complaints to something that was used to terrorize and kill black communities is even more vile
Non-Black vtubers speaking over black vtubers is a repeating issue that is never going to stop because yall think non-black vtubers experience this space the same as black ppl
a certain white vtuber claiming she’s not racist, yet argues with poc constantly.
have ur opinion, but do not tell poc how to feel about racism.
same way c1ś ppl can’t tell trans ppl how to feel about transphobia.
just bc u’re on the left, doesn’t mean u’re not a grifter.
Non-black people on this app will tell you that digital-blackface isn’t real and then proceed to do and support digital-blackface and then call you the racist when you call it out and tell you to “get real problems.”
People deflecting the criticism towards that vtuber using a darkskin model because “Americans dictating racism” and trying to imply the outrage is strictly from non-black people when in reality the people taking issue with it are African American themselves
"You dont care about it when it happens to asians"
Dont project your lack of care, empathy and intelligence on me!! You're only bringing it up to silence black voices!!
Both are an issue holy. 😭
I'm just going to drop these here. If y'all want a dark skin tone so badly, here are some suggestions.
ALSO, actually, sheep characters and designs since you wanna play dumb and go that route
I noticed how when ever black people try to explain why they feel uncomoftable with something many non-black people or dear god other black people will trying to slience us telling us its not that deep will, or where stupid americans, or calling us gringo
Listen to black people.
When they say something is racist, listen to them.
If you’re not black, you don’t get to decide what is racist or not especially when you belong to a race that perpetuates it.
Please stop downplaying racial transgressions and speaking for BIPOC People.
Anyway support black people and poc, protect trans people, stop being weird to bisexuals, fuck wars, fuck ice, fuck racists, fuck pedophiles, fuck maga, fuck rapists, Dont be weird, drink water, play that game, draw that art, get that bag, make some friends, be kind ✌🏾
Western vtubing had a whole of lot nothing to say when Black vtubers were struggling to get accurate skin tones and hair, yet they're quick to defend when a pale model has dreads, or when someone is in low-key blackface.
Seems like one of the core pillar here is still racism.
An original character that is a BI/POC is different than an original character that is a persona you are puppeting on the internet.
There are reasons there are black VTubers who have white models. The first being accessibility, prior to many of the customizable models we have today, many pre-mades only came in mayonnaise. Many were forced to design their sona around that. Not only that, but many artists are still afraid to work with pigmented skin tones boxing them out even further. Lastly as we've seen now racism is still unfortunately alive and thriving. As a white person I do not, and will not ever experience the hatred and oppression that stems from a history of racism. What I do know is pretending to be black and putting on a show feels a lot like history repeating itself.
The hatred y’all hold towards Black Americans on this app is concerning as fuck. And yes I am including the people that go “Ugh, Americans…” when the conversation is about antiblackness.
