@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa I know it isnt something I can just “evidence” to you, but it’s those things that add up to make whitewashing be seen generally as an issue, while other cases of swapping a character’s ethnicity isnt.

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa Like, seriously, take Miku ( a Japanese character) for an example, if you may. A pretty popular trend was people drawing her based on different ethnicities (and was pretty well received), but one specific art of her being black American got insane amounts of outrage

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa Im not “inventing” motivations. If donut lips weren’t a mainly racist caricature of black people, there wouldn’t be an outrage about a black character having them. Same way there wouldn’t be much of an outrage on whitewashing if it wasn’t mainly used to demean people of color

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa im not asking you to be aware of all other similar situations, since I just said I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I used genderbending as an example because it’s conceptually pretty similar to this situation, and there generally isnt much of a problem with it

[vee @vee5379]

@Zarts0221 @LadyAkaylaMyrtl @JT31Am I mean, Im still seeing an Asian with dark skin

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa note that IF “black washing” got to the point where it is primarily done as a racist expression THENNN I would begin to have a problem with it

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa and also, why exactly do you think these artists make these characters black? Do you think they make a character black because they tend to view their race as superior, or at the very least are racist themselves towards Asians?

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa And the fact that Im seeing more of these replies under a 100 like art tweet than literally any other art of an Asian character that is essentially race swapped but just white…

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa What’s so strawman about it? I remember seeing very little of you guys talking about “erasure” when that art was circling around. Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt that you weren’t aware of it, it’s still interesting to see the difference in reception

[vee @vee5379]

@BGuilerstead @OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa so is it bad to draw a Japanese character with East Asian features/skin tones?

[vee @vee5379]

@Zarts0221 @LadyAkaylaMyrtl @JT31Am Really? Because all I see in the art is an Asian with a darker skin color

[vee @vee5379]

@LadyAkaylaMyrtl @JT31Am So you’re implying that Asians are strictly white?

[vee @vee5379]

@OmegaSomebody @FredZillaa so no asian person can be black…? You don’t seem like the type of guy to have that same rage whenever someone makes an anime character look like a stereotypical American frat boy. But hey, so long as their skin color is the same…

[vee @vee5379]

@BigdjJohnny @vaporwavesucks @JaneDoeArchive boo hoo

[vee @vee5379]

@ReDKCipherJ @faggote_ @SoyKuved You’re right, musk didnt make twitter, and I forgot to clarify that difference there. My point lied on who the money is going to rather than the status of being the “creator” or just an “owner”

[vee @vee5379]

@ReDKCipherJ @faggote_ @SoyKuved to put it into perspective, dont you believe the original argument wouldn’t be as used anymore if hyv’s games were bought by another company and the ownership was transferred?

[vee @vee5379]

@ReDKCipherJ @faggote_ @SoyKuved the people who bought twitter have nothing to do with it now. Elon is the current owner, so we are supporting him, not the creators.

[vee @vee5379]

@faggote_ @SoyKuved Elon musk communicating with mr convicted child sex offender to meet up,, this isnt the only thing lmao. Grok is already being investigated for AI generated CSAM. There’s probably wayyy more shit too

[vee @vee5379]

@faggote_ @SoyKuved yes dude??
