this is a repost of a twitter thread call out that my friend made! they have asked me to post this here due to this person not taking accountability for their actions!
tw: racism against south asians
"You make a character based off Sher khan from the jungle, which takes place in India and gave him a Māori first name? Not to mention the last name is literally just the tiger he’s based off, you put zero effort into that and you knew which was why you immediately deleted everything as soon you got a single quote retweet from someone telling you that your oc was insensitive, and then you proceeded to private your account, you then ask for name suggestions and make it impossible to reach you, your own post that you deleted says the name is Māori."
"Saying your oc is “mostly Indian” and then you not being sure on what his ethnicity even is when that is probably the first thing you should have thought about when making said oc?? There was 0 effort and thought put into this character.
Making a biracial character is hard and yet your character that you said is mixed has no representation and you haven’t even decided what the other half is?? You should have worked on your character before writing them into a relationship because acting this surprised when someone calls you out on acting this ignorant is genuinely embarrassing, “making Taika was all in good fun” when making such a insensitive oc, in your own words you said “ I haven’t really decided on an ethnicity for Taika” and then you give him a Māori name? While not even knowing?"
"You then delete all your posts about Taika and private because you would rather run and hide then properly address your mistake at your grown age of 22 years old, you should know about stereotypes when making a oc of a specific background so you don’t stereotype them
LIKE YOU MADE A VAGUELY POC CHARACTER AND GAVE THEM A NAME FROM A SPECIFIC CULTURE??? WITHOUT??? FUCKING THINKING ABOUT IT???? OR GIVING THE OC A SET ETHNICITY?????? like at best thats incredibly careless and at worst REALLY weird and racist. And acting like the victim when you made this mistake and then proceed to run away from the consequences of YOUR actions?"
I swear tho, if I see people start deleting their fics I'm going to be so upset. Even if the game isn't getting more content that doesn't mean the fandom has to end too.
You can rest assured that I’ll never delete mine either. Even if there is naught but tumbleweeds blowing through the fandom, this blog shall remain and its posts continue on!
But definitely agreeing that fandom doesn’t have to end! The fandom is the best part! We can continue to love and create for these characters as long as we desire.
Got told my edits of Jamil and kailm is problematic even though I made them a bit darker than normal and they thought I was trying to make them black when i don’t even give them black features or hair texture
I am so so sorry anon.
It seems to me that some people don’t understand that a headcanon is an opinion. As long as it’s well intentioned/not inherently problematic, someone else shouldn’t make the call on if your opinion is wrong. A person can disagree with what you think but they shouldn’t outright label is problematic.
Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with darkening those two’s skintones a bit because of this
When this is your range of darker skinned characters, it isn’t surprising that people would want to diversify them a bit more in art and edits.
I am sure your edits are wonderful and please do not let others negativity get to you. <3
Are you just tired of these kinds of posts coming from G@za strip that ask you not to skip and to read the whole post, interact with it, and help in sharing/ reblogging it? Well, maybe you are right, but guess what? We are also tired of living in this reality for a whole 11 months.💔
And you know what? You have no idea how mentally and emotionally trying this is. Asking for help isn't easy at all, but when I think that the price will be staying alive, getting our basic needs and rebuilding our lives, it pushes me more and more to do this until we reach our goal.
This is Ola, the older sister who is trying to help her family. For 11 months until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking and now we're out of them all. We are trying to survive under starvation, thirst, and poverty. So please, if you can give help to our campaign, don't hesitate.
Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azh… Nesma Khazendar needs your support for Ola's Family Call for your S
Every simple thing makes a difference in changing the situation we are in. You can help us either by giving direct help to our campaign or simply by reblogging this post. We would be very thankful if you could share our campaign with families and friends. It really helps reach the people who can directly assist us in reaching our goal faster.
My campaign has been vetted by @90-ghost , @northgazaupdates , @el-shab-hussein , and @nabulsi 's vetted list, line 205.
Are you tired of all this news and these posts too? Ok I am too, but is there another choice? Unfortunately I have no other choice, I am trying to rebuild our lives, So will you make a difference today and help seven people rebuild their lives? The decision is yours.
Just because the gods the natlan characters are based off of were carved in stone and statues doesn't mean they gotta be the fucking color of stone 😭😭😭
Please give iansan some lotion jesus christ bro 😭😭😭
communicating something i thought was very obvious. Hoyoverse are Zionist benefactors.
- a benefactor is somebody who can pay money to support brands. If you pay a benefactor they can pay boycotted brands to compensate for monetary losses.
Hard to balance handling social media and people with 0 cares for your mental health but this is something that has to be confronted. Yeah, the CEO hasnt said they love Israel or anything, but I’ve gotten sick of them announcing collaborations with Zionists despite making billions of dollars that could save billions of people. And then twitter activists cheering them on. Never mind their pro colonization rhetoric found in two of their games. I digress.
not pictured:
I know SO MANY people love their games but lets be a little more guarding of where our money goes.
Maybe pick up fishing if you need some game to calm yourself. Go fish. Especially the invasive ones.
