I had words so

The reason I hate when people draw or edit light skin characters to be darker skinned is that 98% of the time, it isn’t done just because they want to, but out of some desire to get woke points and show off how much they care about diversity and representation. 

As someone with darker skin, it just recks of fetishism. 

Yeah, they always say shit like “well dark aziannz exist uwu uwu” Like I’m a dark asian and the way they draw dark asians is literally just how they draw black people.

And yeah, blasians exist but most of the time the characters they draw aren’t even canonically blasian

Because they want to draw black people, and rather than just drawing actually black character they just use dark skinned asians as a shield and are like “uwu it’s representation.” because they’d literally never care otherwise.

Then there are the aggressive and downright hostile demands made of artist in the name diversity.

If you darken or lighten a character’s because you dont how to colour it specifically according to the character’s skin or you like the way it looks on your drawing, i dont mind since art is free for all. But when you start bitching about “whitewashing” while you yourself darken a character’s skin colour in your drawings until it no longer looks like their original race, maybe stop being such a fucking hypocrite.

And instead of reflecting on their own actions in a slightest they will bully you into doing the same.
