What a dumb take. With your "logic" no anime character is japanese or asian either. But many of you constantly get rlly mad when someone doesn't call them japanese. Characters can have have races & nationalites based on reality... kalos is based on france. A real place btw!
Given the amount of art they are surrounded by this shallow "it's not real" attitude is lowkey shocking & atp no one has any excuse to not understand why blackface or painting your face darker is offensive. The internet exists, ppl have explained it, it's not an american thing
They say it doesn't matter but get mad at black edits or even original black characters being created, they get mad if a lightskinned character is played by a darker actor or even they get mad at simple RESEPCTFUL cosplays. This nonchalant act is nothing but fake.
The japanese understand well that fictional characters can have races, nationalities ( based on reality) while also being portrayed in a stylized way. I've seen them explain it so many times & but now that the conversation centers antiblackness they act like they don't know
The same ppl saying she's not black bcs "she's fictional" (what a braindead argument) & has purple hair are the same ppl who would rightfully get mad if ppl claimed anime characters like e.g. bakugo are white & not japanese. I've seen it happen SO many times. Peak hypocrisy.
All we are saying is if y'all claim to love us so much then actually LISTEN TO US.
WE ARE SAYING THE THING YOU DID HURTS OUR FEELINGS DONT DO IT.
And y'all responded with "it's not a big deal here"
It should be because it is offense! The people it imitates say so!
According to Japan twitter, this isn’t a drawing of a car. Because cars exist in real life, and this is fictional, therefore it’s not a car, and if you dare to say it resembles a car, you are delusional and can’t separate reality from fiction.

@ryoichiyoko Kinda hard to not do that when people say that painting your skin black isn't blackface because of Japanese cosplay culture. These aren't my words, these are from Japanese people who engage in this discourse.
