the amount of negativity i received under my tiktok featuring sukuna with asian features was genuinely ridiculous. i deleted at least 50 comments saying things like "he doesn't look like that" or "he looks better white." why is it so difficult for people to accept an asian character actually looking asian? there's clearly a level of racial bias and deeply ingrained beauty standards at play when people are so accustomed to seeing asian characters whitewashed that an accurate portrayal suddenly becomes controversial.
