Black, Aro, intolerance for bigotry

@AmazingAJ87 @617Wn No, not really. These are different things. People in real life can't help their skin color.

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@Eva80835427 @617Wn I'd say so yeah.

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@aioaioaioiaoi No, because that's in a game. This is real life.

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@gabriel96124738 @O6Noob @617Wn In a sense. My skin color isn't put on for fun. I've faced discrimination myself because of it, and people still very much do in japan

But then people decide dark skin is ok when it's painted on somebody who doesn't have it. And beyond that, we're always told it's not a big deal

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@617Wn Partly. It's also because of how they're wearing a minority as a costume.

If it is truly out of admiration, they should be listening to what black people have to say. Different culture or not.

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@O6Noob @617Wn as per my first post, people don't change their skin color or their faces to match. They just wear the outfits, which is fine

ブラックフェイスに擁護する日本人多すぎて恥ずかしい
これが私たちの文化なんです！て悪気もなく言ってる人の多いこと

日本人＝ブラックフェイス賛成て思われたくないよ…😢
差別を見ようとしてないの怖すぎる

Japanese person on here just said blackface was started as ADMIRATION for black people and i nearly threw my phone out on the highway.

they really don’t teach shit on that island huh????

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@617Wn The mockery aspect of blackface is only part of the problem. The other part is treating a minority's race like a spectacle, intentionally or not

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@617Wn So there is only one passable outcome of this. That they were just ignorant, and they make sure they don't do that again.

Anything else just makes them look worse.

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@venz228 They're similar to most but the difference 100% matters to a good amount of folks

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@TroonToes the anime artstyle and vtubing come from japan yeah. But those are also malleable art forms that can depict different things. More akin to say, genres of music

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@kweenbimbowoof the whole idea with voice acting is why I say this carries a lot of nuance, and why I say this isn't as bad as people say

but there is a level of separation that voice acting usually has compared to streaming as a vtuber

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@TroonToes Didn't mean it like that. When I say culture I moreso mean clothing or accessories, like say kimonod. I'm not talking about artstyles associated with anime or the act of vtubing

and I say below I don't think this is as bad as people say, but it is important

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@kweenbimbowoof there is a layer of nuance with this, I don't think it's AS bad as people make it out, but it is still REALLY important to talk about

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@kweenbimbowoof see I get that. it just comes off very odd to wear other people's cultures or race as an aesthetic, especially when there's prevalent issues with that in real life

and when I say playing as a character, I meant moreso in games

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@Yukiaddict @YukiThePrince there is *a* difference but that's a bit outside the realm of the reason that it's wrong

[ShadeMix @ShadeMix77]

@Yukiaddict @YukiThePrince yeah that's wrong too, that's not different lol
