@bnbn689204 Some aspects of cultures in any country can be viewed as offensive today, especially when they were created many years ago with other races and ethnicities not in mind. Making your skin dark is seen as such to POC as it is treating what they are discriminated for as a costume.
@tWh0znfdWo2W711 If you can’t see the difference that a man with thin hair experiences compared to a black person I really don’t know how to help you. Obviously people with different ethnicities face discrimination at a larger and more harmful scale than just being called unattractive.
I am going to be muting this conversation as I don’t have the time to reply to multiple people. I wanted to say though that I don’t think an accurate costume should be valued over the feelings of others, and racism is a harmful thing that exists everywhere not just America.
@yeji_ryusei Because of the prejudice that people with dark skin have faced in the past and today. Diminishing realistic tones to being an accessory is hurtful as real people experience discrimination based on this. Hairstyles like these face no prejudice or have important cultural ties.
@SkirenH Never have seen that ever happen before, majority it is always about someone painting their skin. Even if that was the case, can guarantee that people would see it as way less offensive. People constantly leave their skin alone in cosplays and aren’t called racist.
@lin0000198556 So you’re making this the fault of black people recolouring drawings? There’s a huge difference between colouring a drawing and dressing up an another ethnicity that faces much more discriminatory circumstances than yourself. You are treating their skin as a costume.
@CR_932 Really does not matter the intent, as I at least believe that the feelings of those who are impacted by it should be upheld over the accuracy of a costume for a fictional character. Racism is also present everywhere, and not every Japanese person thinks of humans this way.
@DuckDoodlezz@yeji_ryusei No it isn’t, they are simply saying that you shouldn’t colour your skin tone as it is offensive and treating their skin as an accessory. You can dress up as a character without changing your skin tone, plenty of cosplayers do it with amazing works.
@MOOK_916@biggusmaximus1@yeji_ryusei Blackface and racism occur all across the globe, it’s just not something that occurs in America. This is not about ‘imposing values’ it is about giving respect to people of different ethnicities when they tell you something you are doing is inappropriate and hurtful.
@noroke_desuyo@KnomadicZekrom People can have names from other countries, and black people can have bright coloured eyes or wear contacts. Just trying to find any way to say she isn’t black when Gamefreak has made multiple black characters in their game.
@StoryManAI What was preventing you before from telling the story you wanted to? The only thing stopping you is yourself. Anyone can learn how to write, draw, 3D model, whatever method they want to tell their narrative in. This is just bullshit.
After nearly 20 years… TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED SEASON 4 is finally happening, as an ONGOING INDIE COMIC BOOK SERIES. The show’s HEAD WRITER Marty Isenberg and LEAD TOY DESIGNER Eric Siebenaler feel ready to tell the story, and I am happily using my platform to give them the means.
WILDWOOD is having strong pre-sales, 75% ahead of FORGOTTEN ISLAND, so that rumour of a $6M opening doesn’t match its pre-sales at all.
Yet, theaters need to give it enough screens, it’s too limited so far.
Laika has earned many devoted fans since CAROLINE.
LAIKA's ‘WILDWOOD’ has the largest battle sequence ever for a stop-motion film.
• Spans 12 minutes with over 400 shots
• Contains approx 3,000 characters
• 5 distinct sets were made — all combined were larger than the length of a building
• One person was specifically hired to track scarring & scratching on the lead character throughout the battle to ensure maximum detail
