Someone drew Anya as black and people on Twitter started being super racist about it

Saimatsu_Fan said:


They weren't being racist, they were pointing out the hypocrisy

The same people who are fine with black edits are the same people who lose thier shit over Marin getting a tan or when a poc Character is drawn with slightly lighter tone

Nevermind the fact that eace swapping OF ANY KIND is racist and dumb

idk what comments you’re talking about, I’m talking about the ones saying stuff like “now I see why no one wanted to adopt her”

Saimatsu_Fan said:


Those are like very small minority of people lol

The most drama was about race swapping

I think the issue with fanarts only happen when someone says "ey look i fixed it." by either completely changing the race of a character or by shaming races in the process.Or just messing up someone's art through harassment.
This fanart right above is extremely cute and innocent.Its coloured really nicely as well!
I'm a Muslim so seeing stuff like this always awesome to see

SammyOrg said:

It absolutely was nOT small, and there is no hypocrisy because it’s dark skin characters that have the least amount of representation and then someone whitewashes it and blatantly does it to encode a reaction. Do you think that’s fair?

I recently came across the "racism" controversy and thank god I was too late to know about it, but that also makes me question can't we have nice things? Well, everyone is not supposed to enjoy every genre and demographic and that's totally fine but seriously it looks like people have forgot what fanart is, and they are actually forcing them to be limited when creative freedom is always an option for them and my god the art was cute and I just come across an fanart which I found adorable have a look https://www.instagram.com/p/CcxsXbcMmZk/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Well, I'll love to see them thanks for sharing this with me although the language is a barrier so, I would appreciate if you can translate the panel you shared for me in English.

The small thing i meant was the people who were saying actual racist things like a joke, not the other 99% who were talking about race swapping

Dude, Japan has like barely black people, why do you demand them to give you representation ? What does it even matter ?

While i DO AGREE that white washing is racist, there's still 1) race swapping as a whole is racist 2) people still get offended by the slight race change like with marin Kitigawa drama and Kaeya from genshin impact because apparently getting tanned or having more lighting over your skin is racist 3) anime Characters aren't white, they're asian ( and yes they don't look asian, they're still not white )

SammyOrg said:

No one demanded any black representation from anime, and that’s fine no one really complains about that. It’s the fact that the little white kids on Twitter get mad when people use their creativity to have their own representation, but we’re in the wrong for minding our business.

AND those are the same people who complain about things like marin Kitigawa getting a tan, among other trivial stuff, people are mad over race swapping because it's racist and hypocritical

Although I didn't saw anybody demanding or saying anything about black representation in anime but it'll be not fair to say that there isn't any representation at all, but that was mostly back in the day, Marik Ishtar from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Claudia Grant from Macross, Michiko Malandro from Michiko & Hatchin, Afro from Afro Samurai the characters mentioned are Black or have dark skin tone, there are more to be mentioned but in the recent time the representation have become a rare sight, and when it does it sparks controversy like Don't Toy with Me Miss Nagatoro, the reason why I'm telling you all this because anime is diverse but lately diversity is limited by some freaks who gets offended over a characters skin color and I found this mindset very problematic that "no one wanted" cause it limits the creative boundaries for representation.

Do you....do you watch modern anime ? DO YOU ?

There's a lot of black Characters now lol, the recent examples are the girl from summertime render, also no, the amount of representation back then isn't significantly different from now

The only reason why nagatoro had drama is because some idiots complained on Twitter that she got " whitewashed " because of a fan art someone drew of her being white EVEN THO SHE'S NOT BLACK and is " white " and she's just tanned as observed by the beach episode, which ofc they didn't watch it

The other drama is like 3 or so people were racist over Nagatoro's Eng VA but again, 3 or so people not the whole anime community, actually it died quickly because it's an actual racism rather than " muh black anime Character has lighter skin than before reeeeee " drama people get hanged over every 5 seconds

I’m always down for more race representation. If they can have increased representation for LGBTQ+ with yuri and BL, I don’t see why they don’t try to have more representation for different races as main characters in anime/manga.

vooidt said:
honestly im so happy i never touched twitter, tiktok, other shit social media. their community are so toxic as fuck. (excluding mal, i know this community is also toxic lol)

Bakamono_9381 said:

I think LGBTQ+ has been getting quite a representation these days, if you're asking for manga then most titles I've came across you can call them "Fetish" manga or if even they are not Fetish they lack emotions and story well, some of the worst manga I've read are manga centred around LGBTQ+, but you'll also get some good titles as well in both the anime and manga although it's not that many out there, some that I'll suggest you to watch or read is Sasaki to Miyano a Boys Love manga which even got a anime adaptation last Winter, "Given" an another Boys Love manga which also got an anime adaptation as well, for Girls Love although I don't like them much but you can try them for yourself, Bloom into You has both Manga and Anime, YuruYuri I think the title would be enough. Sadly anime/manga doesn't represent LGBTQ+ community on a good and notable scale and mostly what we have are Fetish Manga, Hentai or if a story doesn't falls in these 2 categories then it's most likely to have mediocre storyline.

Animillion said:


What I mean to say is since there is more representation for diversity via LGBTQ, they should do so through race as well. I have no interest in stuff like yuri, though I’d love a series with like a South Asian protagonist or something

Bakamono_9381 said:

I think it pretty much depends upon your usage of them, if you don't look for them they won't come to you, if they still come to you then you can ignore them.

I guess, maybe yeah. From what I know the most toxic community goes to anime stuff, which is the content I will be looking into. To be honest I'm all good by using reddit instead of the others.
