|| well now that my anxiety has been triggered with certain hostility, I now have to go find a child actor with Romani Origins who has a decent amount of resources.
|| so because I haven’t read every single adaptation of a character, I’m a piece of shit?
I never said what I did was right, but I don’t think that really makes me a shitty person either.
|| alright, but I have a question.
Why am I not allowed to use Jaeden Smith, but others can use Brendon Thwaits?
I’m getting rid of this account, I just wanna know what the difference is between those two choices.
|| Damn imagine not knowing he was Romani at the time this account was made and just thinking he was white because that’s all that was represented in the writer’s consumed media
|| this account has upset some people, so it will be removed.
I don’t know if I agree with some of the reasoning, but I do agree that if it’s causing problems, it shouldn’t be here.
I’m sorry to the people I’ve offended who handled this maturely.
The ones throwing insults
—have even hinted at it.
But being more educated, I’m doing my best to represent him with the correct roots but also my own creativity thrown into the mix.
|| The ‘racebent’ thing was definitely a mistake, as back when I made this account I was not aware of the character’s Romani origins.
Now that I am, I’ve deleted the tweet as it’s been pointed out as an issue.
I was going off of cartoons when I made this, and none of them—
|| I’ve used a Caucasian actor for Dick Grayson before (no Romani origins) and nobody said a thing.
Nobody says anything to people using Brendon Thwaits or the other popular selections.
I don’t see how my faceclaim is anymore problematic.
Like I genuinely don’t understand.
