I’m probably tripping but I think they favor each other. Someone should cast them as half sisters.

So I was thinking of joining this until I read the directions...

WDYM the whole point is to Blackwash white characters and be as racist towards white people as possible?! TF is wrong with you??? I thought you agreed that changing the race of characters is bad regardless of what race they are?!?! Like to "correct" ones that are meant to be Black makes sense, but to take white characters and make them "be Black once you're done with them" is just plain racism. Changing a character's race is racist. Sorry, I don't make the rules, that's just how it works.

Next time, just come out and say you're anti-white, coward. And before you call me a coward for using anon... So sorry I don't want to be harassed for simply speaking up against ALL forms of racism against ANY / ALL races, instead of just one.

[blackfemmecharacterdependency]

I'm anti white.

And yes, to hide behind anon because you don't want to be harassed for "speaking out" IS a coward. The biggest portion of speaking out is the fact that you're taking a stand. Taking a stand (a corny one at that) does in fact mean more when you're not pussy bout it.

And there's no such thing as racism against white people, so I hope you and whoever raised you to believe that have to struggle and strife for the rest of your lives for suggesting it.

insane that the only good colorists in the entire world are making gifsets for free on tumblr dot com instead of being heads of cinematography/color grading for tv shows and movie studios

[blackfemmecharacterdependency]

Did not know that those people were called "colorists" and thought this statement was going somewhere else completely. lol

MY SWEET BEAUTIFUL 29 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERRRR I JUST LOVE HERRR AAAAA

I like to think riley would help her dress up and look cutey

I low-key haven’t really finished rendering this but like 🙄🙄 I finished the face it’s whatever I’ll revise the piece another day I need to feed the ata community

I’m so maternal over her guys I feel like a mom seeing her beautiful daughter dressed up for prom or s9mething 😭😭😭😭 baby is so dressed up

[creatingblackcharacters]

its like people need you to be their momma im tired man. "ah ah ice these people are being antiblack in other people's comments sections!" if you don't get the fuck off your ass and call it out when you see it i swear to gods above.

Tbh, I think it was meant to cause drama. I think I was expected to go "who is it??? Where???" And it's like. I'm not about to go digging in people's blogs to start fights that other people wanna see. It's one thing when the fight gets brought to me, or it's something I'm passionate about anyway. But otherwise, I'm not an attack dog 😅 This isn't a colosseum where Ice has to fight EVERY battle for everyone else. If people are being antiblack ofc I don't like that, but I also teach people that THEY can do something about that too!

[blackfemmecharacterdependency]

Also... If I'm not in the space, why would I go to it when I was just told people being antiblack?

"How do you feel about this thing in this space you're not in?"

I had a friend who would do this about right when I left them out of things. (Well, she would ask me what she should say). And she's Korean, Black and Hawaiian with a Black and Korean son and a white husband.

And one of these times where I was guiding her through how I would respond to a thing, she mentioned that she leaned on people like me for guidance because I'm "really good at this."

And I told her that I'm not "good" at it, I just have to do it more than a lot of people who never have to think about it. And in the course of the conversation, I said that I was tired of it and really was ready not to say nothing at all and just disengage with certain people.

And this woman's ugly white husband had the audacity to tell ME, the fully Black person in the conversation, "Well, I don't have the option of not saying anything because I have a Black wife and child."

SIR. You actually DO have an option and I'm glad you will continue to speak, but who the fuck are you talking to? Your wife is asking ME how to handle this bitch in y'all's life. I don't even know that fucking person she tagged me in to address. Why she ain't cone to you, Mr. No Choice?"

Anyways. I'll watch somebody fight for they life and blacklist a tag before I come rushing in to come see bout anybody that didn't organically cross my path. Fuck them people. Lol. Give a shit what they doing in a room I wasn't tryna enter.

I think the topic was more "This character doesn't have to specifically be white" because that's generally the argument. I don't recall ever hearing any arguments that Mulan or Moana needed to be cast as white people or the generic knee jerk reaction of "What if they made (Black character, Tiana) white?"
