saw this on pinterest but i think it belongs here too

hi, I just want you to know the difference between comshipping and darkshipping before you put an uneducated take in your about me. There's 2 types of com ships. Usually, it's complex or complicated ships that can have problematic DYNAMINCS. Darkshippers are the ones that are all bad but most of them use terms like proshippers to sorta hide that's they're darkshippers. All darkships are proships, but not all comships are darkships

Also, saying that "most proshippers are normal" is most definitely wrong. if anything, comshipping should be where proshippers are. I genuinely find it so weird that you think Proshipping is more acceptable than comshipping.

and being so open about being in the wss community is sorta weird? like yeah be wss but the community is honestly so toxic and i don't really interact with nearly any of the community bc of how bad of a circle it is. Just my opinion tho.

ok lemme clear some things up.

The "most proshippers are normal": this was from a pinterest post I saw abt the definition of the 3 terms (dark,com,pro) and an actual proshipper had just stated smth I forgot but thinking abt it I rlly need to change that

But here's a quick summary of the three I can remember for my sake: proship: not harassing over ships (some w/ problematic ones, some not) comship: complicated ships/ship dynamics like demon x human or demon x angel (most common in media) darkship: supporting/shipping taboo ships like parent x child or incest (which I do NOT support)

Being open abt wss: I know some of the community Is toxic, every thing is gonna have a toxic side to it. But I found a sweet lil community on here made by a moot where it's pretty chill. I'm also not afraid to let out my opinion, so me being wss is gonna stay out unless I have to take it out.

I understand your thought for questioning, and your reasoning makes sense. I was a litte stupid (only being 1-2 years younger than I am now) when making that also since I don't know a whole bunch abt myself, I just go with what I know at the time. I will update my about me to be more up to date :]

about drawing tom black

hi! i've talked about my opinions on drawing tom as a black character in a previous post a few months back, but i've recently gotten another wave of hateful comments concerning my tom again since i've posted my recent animation with him.

while comments disliking my art does not personally affect me, i find it much more upsetting that even after several years of artists within the fandom drawing tom as a POC, people have the audacity to blatantly disrespect and leave hateful/racist comments under artworks of him being drawn as any skin tone darker than a light beige.

for those who believe that drawing tom (eddsworld) is against tomska's wishes, here's a clip of him being openly supportive of the headcanon + referring to tom (eddsworld) as a separate character:

source: Artwork & Oddities (Mail Vlog) @ 17:13

as i've said before, it's okay to prefer a lighter-skin/closer-to-canon tom. i don't take offense to people who simply ask "why is he black?" as long as they're asking in a respectful manner. i understand that in his canon design, tom is presumably white, along with the rest of the cast, so i get where the confusion comes from. in terms of the "blackwashing" argument, that is a topic that i'll leave to your own judgement. if you disagree with interpreting tom as a POC, then your opinion is up to you.

however, what's NOT okay is being openly racist or hateful. i've gotten hundreds of comments* such as referring to my tom design as a "thing," calling him slurs/derogatory terms, stating how ugly he looks, and so on. i've even received a handful of insults and racist accusations towards myself as well simply for drawing him as a black character.

i also find it odd how there's a certain "limit" to how far you can go with darkening tom's skin. i've seen tom drawn with tan/brown skin, and while these designs aren't completely excluded from forms of hate, the feedback is often much less negative compared to other designs where he is depicted with darker skin.

if you truly believe that drawing tom as a POC is wrong, then why let certain skin tones fly under your radar? and in my case, as someone who has several other designs of the eddsworld characters being depicted as POC (such as my design of edd or patryck, who i've both drawn with brown skin for example), why does hardly anyone ever comment or have an issue with their race? if whether a fictional character is drawn as white or not such an issue to you, then do you not have a problem with a character depicted with a different race as long as they're white-passing or light enough? or do you just have a problem with black characters?

not everyone is going to like the fact that there are artists who depict tom as black, and that's fine. but that doesn't justify the amount of racism i've seen in not only my own comment section, but also under many other artists' artworks on various platforms. i try my best to ignore the majority of the negative comments i receive, but it's tiring to see how blatantly disrespectful people are online. i've dealt with this for ~2 years since i've rejoined the eddsworld fandom, and i'm sure many other artists can relate to this issue as well.

to be clear, i don't care if you don't like the way i draw tom. you don't have to like the way i draw him, and you don't have to agree with every single point i made in this post. but understand that the disrespectful comments that you leave online regarding his race reflect on your values.

edit: *hundreds of comments over the span of the last 2 years (wording correction because i realize how exaggerated this originally sounds. i usually don't get these terrible comments often, but ive seen an increase as ive gained popularity)
