Castlevania: Symphony of The Night (1997)

[shortyantics27artblog-deactivat]

In response to this: https://twitter.com/_kurus37/status/1018341990289715200 Who would have thought something like this would bring me back to art. lol… Gosh but I’m sick and tired of random people declaring that “changing” the color of a character with darker skin based on lighting is somehow whitewashing. Skin changes colors depending on the lighting and atmosphere! >:C Plus, some people’s styles makes EVERYTHING lighter. I know sometimes I like to lighten EVERYTHING up cuz it looks nice to the eyes! Like a light watercolor look. Zoey does not approve. >:V I do realize this is a “straw man”, but when people bitch about something like this it looks extremely silly. Like, this post explains it better: https://twitter.com/NeruNox/status/1018914157092114435 A little note about Zoey: Her and all dark-skinned people in her world have a lighter belly, just in case you were confused by that. lol I also guess she’s into volley ball now. Hunter shall join her. ahaha

[long-ago-1234567890]

lol someone made a strawman comic about me and jay, we’re famous!!

let’s see how this actually works irl, shall we?

this is lupita nyong’o, a famous actress. she is a dark-skinned black woman, just like marina from splatoon, the character who jay and i accused artists of whitewashing, prompting this comic.

this is lupita nyong’o in the sun on a beach.

notice how she did not magically turn light tan!! crazy how that works!! she is still dark-skinned.

you really are an idiot, op.

[long-ago-1234567890]

lol op deleted

[girlzmakemecum-deactivated20230]

OP was so brave to draw then post this thinking they were in the right..

[jay-sherman-deactivated20241101]

Y'all really need to get the fuck over yourselves. Harassing an artist is not gonna give you moral points. Why are people so over sensitive about these things?

[emeral-d-whirlwind]

As per usual, people with stupid ideas have to stick together lest they be overwhelmed by the evidence and common sense that contradicts them

I should probably be doing better things with my time, but since OP has beeen succesfully harassed out of the site and thus cannot show how wrong  you all are themselves, i’ll gladly do it myself.

Evidence A: Marina’s oficial Amiibo.

What follows is an image of Marina’s official Amiibo under different lighting conditions. It is then only reasonable to assume ththat this would be her canon skin color under such conditions.

Notice how her skin looks significantly lighter on the right half of the image, to the point that some parts of her skin look like they could belong to a white person.

This alone should disprove your argument, but i’m going to continue for the sake of being throughout.

Evidence B: The tweet.

A 3D artist from Twitter  grabbed Marina's skin tone and slapped it on a skin material and lit it to illustrate how lights affect darker skin tones. This was the result:

https://twitter.com/Floreum/status/1019290515466944512

Once again, this alone is enough to disprove yourargument, but i’m not done yet.

Evidence C: Me.

As a latin american my skin is naturally darker from what is usually considered “white”, i am light skinned for my race’s standards but i am still visibly darker than any of my white friends, to the point that i’ve actually been called black by a white girl once, much to my surprise.

I’m also currently in a very brightly lit room, which makes my skin look significantly lighter as the following picture shows:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yyRF7f1-XPgK4U-BDzNmdYeqJ9-0li05/view?usp=sharing

What you see here is my arm with one part of it covered by my phone’s shadow(which makes it resemble my natural skin color more) and one part of it not.

Notice how the skin tones, while similar, still look like they could easily belong to two different people.

This alone is enough to disprove yourargument, but let’s add one more to make it a nice even number, shall we?

Evidence D: Your own fucking image!

That’s right, the very image you guys tried to back up your argument with actually proves you wrong! How the fuck did you let this slip?

I took the brightest highlights and the darkest shadows of both images and compared their colors, and would you look at that: literally none of those colors look the same as their counterpart! Or even similar! It’s almost as if the lighting has changed the way her skin color looks! What sort of whitewashing bullshit is this?

And no, the midtones don’t look any more similar either:

This, combined with the exaggerated style of the drawing itself, would definately make a black person’s skin look significantly lighter.

It would seem like it is YOU who doesn’t know how lighting works, even when its effect is shown right in front of you nonetheless!

@girlfriendluvr​, you have been proven wrong. Either have the honesty to admit that you were wrong and apologize to the artist, or the basic human decency to quit your bullshit.

But i get the feeling that instead you’re just gonna insult and block me, it’s just a hunch.

[takashi0]

Hey Taka! Been a long time since i last talked to you, i know, but i've recently discovered two YouTube videos that might be interesting to you: "Horseshoe Finale" and "Horseshoe Finale: One Year Later". you might have watched them already, but i've never seen you talk about them and i thought you would have something interesting to say, so i'm sending you this ask. Me, personally, i don't even know what to think about them, i thinki'll need some time to figure it all out.

What are they about?

[emeral-d-whirlwind]

About MLP:FIM, the fandom surrounding it and the brony analysis community as well as the creator’s videos themselves.

Althought he is a fan of the show, most of wha he says is some pretty harsh stuff, and quite honestly i disagree with most of it. However it raises some interesting questions, so i’ve been wondering what you’d think about it.

I’ll link them here:

[lunaticobscurity]

it’s time to face facts: charles xavier’s liberalism does nothing for the mutant cause.

if you didn’t know about their powers, charles xavier and erik lehnsherr would look like a pair of distinguished elder gentlemen. the difference between the two is that for as long as he’s been in the public eye, erik lehnsherr has always explicitly identified himself as the mutant magneto, while for years, professor xavier put on the facade of being a “normal” flatscan scientist.

but it doesn’t end there: as leader of the brotherhood, magneto never required his allies to wear masks or hide who they were. meanwhile, professor x almost always appears in public with only the most attractive (by conventional flatscan standards) of his students. he even goes as far as providing holographic image inducers for his less “palatable” students.

what all this tells us is that charles xavier only cares about you if your powers and appearance wouldn’t cause a stir at the country club, while magneto fights for the rights of all mutants

[lunaticobscurity]

now, more than ever: magneto was right

[xander-the-bastard]

Magneto is a Nazi, he just replaced Aryan with mutant. Xavier plays the long game, slowly getting people used to mutant-kind so that at each stage humans are more accepting of mutants without ever forcing a conflict.

[afronerdism]

Did you just call Eric Leshner, a holocaust survivor, a nazi 🙃

[xander-the-bastard]

Yes, because he’s a big ole hypocrite. Believes in a"master" race? Check. Wants to enslave or wipe out the “lesser” race? Check. Started nations where humans weren’t allowed to live? Check. Terrorist group with Brotherhood in the name? Check. Has allied with the Red Skull? Check.

The Red Skull even says they’re not that different!

[afronerdism]

I’m not sure I even have the energy to do this but….

Calling Erik Lehnsherr/Max Eisenhardt/Magneto a Nazi is not only disrespectful to Jewish fans/readers but also a gross misinterpretation of his Character.

For one, Nazi is not a word used to describe just any form of nationalism, racism, or terrorism. Nazi is a word used and given to a very specific group of people, who believe in the total suppression and annihilation of Jews, blacks, gays, and anyone who is not heterosexual and white. By labeling anyone who does not share these beliefs a Nazi, (let alone a man who would have died clawing at the walls of a gas chamber) you are diminishing the severity of the term.

Moving forward, just because Erik is not a real person does not mean he is not a Jewish Character. His identity as a Jew and as a holocaust survivor are integral to his very nature. So you cannot pardon the offense you give by saying he’s not a real Jewish person.

Furthermore, it is a great disservice to call him a Nazi because it undermines the reasons why he does the things he does. Nazis were evil for the sake of supremacy. Erik’s evil comes from his pain. He was hunted first as a Jew and then as a mutant. He spent many years of his life hunting Nazi war criminals only to be betrayed by humanity again and again and again. Erik developed an identity around being a mutant and what that meant for him and people like him. He also developed a hatred for those who would oppress them.

Erik’s story is not one of a Nazi seeking supremacy for the sake of being superior. But of a man who was tortured, hunted, and oppressed until he no longer saw peace with humanity as an option. He is the comic book incarnation of the rage of a people oppressed.

All you demonstrate is that you do not understand his character or his significance to oppressed people who would agree with him.

[xander-the-bastard]

I think instead that it’s you who misunderstands. When Magneto goes too far, he becomes the very thing he hates. “ He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.“ He’s outright said it in comics:

And he does go too far:

Hey, look at him there, calling all humans slaves and playthings. Or food, he’s not picky what terrible thing happens to humans.

This goes back to the earliest comics:

To even the late stuff:

He’s even got the Socialist part of National Socialist Party:

Magneto can, and does, become the very thing he hates the most in the quest for mutant superiority. It’s facet of his character that he lashes out in anger at a world that oppressed and tried to destroy his kind by doing the very same thing to all humans.

Your fave is problematic: Magneto.

[nostlenne]

[thespectacularspider-girl]

“Comparing Magneto to Hitler is offensive to Jews, even though Magneto is acting precisely like a nazi”

[themattress]

Nazis were evil for the sake of supremacy. Erik’s evil comes from his pain. He is the comic book incarnation of the rage of a people oppressed.

Yeah, and the Nazis rose to power because they believed themselves to be oppressed and pained following World War I, and that is why they sought supremacy.  Ever read that part of history or are the schools not teaching it in favor of “they were just evil for the sake of it”? 

Magneto is the comic book incarnation of the so-called-”SJW”-types who frequent this site in such high numbers.  They don’t want equality, they want supremacy.  They want the target of their hatred, their “oppressors” (namely the entire population of white, straight, cis Christians, especially the male ones) to be subjugated, hated, shunned, spit upon, and made to suffer while whatever group they identify with reigns supreme. Desiring to help said group they identify with is just the lie they tell themselves - it’s really all about hatred and revenge.

Also, Magneto “fights for the rights of all mutants”?  Yeah, unless they refuse to join him and his extremism, in which case they are considered “race traitors” and it’s totally OK to hurt, imprison or kill them just like humans do.  

[emeral-d-whirlwind]

MFW there’s still people who try to push this “uhm, actually, heroes are villains and villains are heroes” BS.

[incognitomoustache]

Thought this might interest some fanterns who don’t read the comics

Ch'p (the squirrel) and Tomar-Re would be there too, but they’re dead in comic book canon so…

[werewolf-cuddles]

Oh for fuck’s sake. We are NOT starting a fandom war between the MLP fandom and the Lazytown fandom.

[takashi0]

Why do people always have to ruin good things with this childish and unwarranted smug “I’m better than you neener neener” bullshit and pitting two things against each other?

[baishujinkou]

Why am I seeing an anti-brony post in 2016?

[friendly-neighborhood-phantom-d]

What I wanna know is what makes it better to watch Lazytown than to watch MLP. They’re both shows aimed at a younger demographic (not that it’s wrong for adults to watch kids shows anyway). Did OP even think this one through or are they just so desperate to get another shot in at “them bronys”?

The Jewish Holocaust Vs The Black Holocaust! How Do They Compare?

  Theoretically you’d think that the Jewish Holocaust was worse than the black Holocaust right? WRONG!!! The Jewish Holocaust is simply the biggest atrocity on film, the black Holocaust wasn’t filmed! Over in the U.K. learning about the Holocaust and what the Jews went through is compulsory. Just like learning about Christopher Colombus “finding” America is compulsory in the US. Even after everything that the Jews went through you, you’d think they’d be more humble about life. You could say that the Jews switched up once they were allowed to identify as “White”.    

The Jewish Holocaust Vs The Black Holocaust. How Do They Compare?: 

    10 Years Vs 500 years 

  Yes the Jewish holocaust was bad, there’s no denying that. However, It only lasted a mere 10 years compared to the black holocaust which lasted over 500 years. Black people had to endure being dehumanized and treated like dirt by the white man for over 500 years. Let’s just let that sink in.

  Death Marches

  The death marches were disgusting for both black people and Jewish people. When you analyse the facts, to no surprise the black death marches were far worse than the Jewish ones. Jews were forced to move from one ghetto to another. They got moved around in box cars. Meanwhile black people were forced to do death marches for economic gain and financial purposes. Walking thousands of miles in the blistering hot weather with many dying before they even reached their destination. No to mention the fact that we were abducted from our motherland in slave ships.

  Reparations

  The Jewish holocaust memorials cost over $200 million? How can you build a holocaust memorial and not have a black holocaust museum or even any sort of museum that acknowledges black history. The Jews receive just over 21 million from the government for operating costs of holocaust museums.  

    Jewish Ghettos Vs Black Ghettos

  Once the Jews had been freed from their concentration camps, they were apparently forced into 400 ghettos. This is slightly exaggerated to a certain extent. What about black ghettos then? In the US there’s like 400 ghettos in one state. As descendants of slaves we are still living in the ghettos of white America.

    Germany Vs American & Africa 

  The Jewish holocaust took place in Germany, in comparison to the tragedy of the black holocaust which occurred in the 2nd largest continent (Africa) and  America, but still people don’t want to acknowledge the black holocaust is a thing.

  Holocaust Survivors Vs Black Survivors 

  Jewish people love to bring up holocaust survivors and get them to talk about their experience. However, If you were to look for black holocaust survivors, well, you could literally go to America and find generations of black holocaust survivors.

  Names, Language, Religion, Culture and God

  Jews were put through a lot by the Germans. Unlike black people, Jews weren’t stripped of their names, language, religion, culture and God. Nor were they forced to look up to their oppressors.

[nunyabizni]

@jewishmagpie   RED ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!  Massive antisemitism

[mubzonline-deactivated20170808]

You know what. Fuck Jewish people. Y'all forever screaming antisemitism this, antisemitism that. Fuck outta here. The black Holocaust was way worse. But because it didn’t involve white people, y'all don’t care

[jewishmagpie-deactivated2018092]

The amount of historical revisionism over antisemitism here is literally insane. Apparently, according to this black supremacist, Jews have had absolutely no problems aside from the Holocaust, which only lasted ten years, and since in their mind, absolutely nothing is worse than slavery and anti-black racism, they have to pretend that antisemitism means nothing.

I mean, any sane person would look at the treatment of black individuals and Jews and think that both were terrible and neither should have – or should still – continue to happen. A decent person wouldn’t dismiss another entire people’s struggles to push their own agenda, but then again, you never get any sense out of any kind of racial supremacist.

I could talk about how the oppression of Jews has gone back literally thousands of years, the destruction of our Temple (twice!), the abuse of the Romans, the enforced dehumanisation and servitude to both Europeans and Arabs, how the term “ghetto” was actually first used for Jews in Venice when the authorities forced Jews to live in a “Jewish quarter” back in 1516, the countless pogroms, massacres expulsions and the rest that happened across numerous countries, the Jews forced to give up their faith, culture and names to convert under pain of death, the refusal to allow Jews into universities or clubs, even coming up to today where there are black, white, Christian, Arab, Muslim supremacists all calling for our genocide and being angry that Hitler didn’t finish the job, but I’m sure that “Jews are just white people, and I like hating white people, so therefore I like hating Jews and if you prove me wrong I’ll just double down on my pure ignorance because I fetishise and infantilise black people literally all the time” isn’t going to be fond of being utterly decimated in their disgusting and horrific posts.

Guess it’s too much for a black supremacist to understand that Jews were the ones closest to Martin Luther King Jr, a man that genuinely cared about Jews and fighting antisemitism even when he was struggling for his own people. The Jews that marched with him, the Rabbi that gave a speech just before him, the support that black individuals and Jewish individuals gave each other when times were much harder for us both. As King said himself:

My people were brought in America in chains. Your people [i.e. Jews] were driven here to escape the chains fashioned for them in Europe. Our unity is born out of our common struggle for centuries, not only to rid us of bondage, but to make oppression of any people by others an impossibility.

So how about you actually try and learn something before frothing rabid antisemitism?

[mubzonline-deactivated20170808]

So basically you are trying to say that there wasn’t a thing as the black Holocaust?

[jewishmagpie-deactivated2018092]

Is that honestly what you managed to get out of my (very basic) explanation of the thousands of years of antisemitism that you very quickly dismissed and sneered at? Really?

[mubzonline-deactivated20170808]

I see that you tagged “Jesus fucking Christ” THE IRONY

[jewishmagpie-deactivated2018092]

How is it ironic when it’s an overused phrase of shock and/or disgust that plenty of non-Christians use?

So, are you going to apologise for all the blatant antisemitism?

[cold-blooded-replicant]

My memory of a few Religious Studies classes isn’t exactly a great store of knowledge but I’m pretty sure that jewish people have been enslaved themselves at least once or twice. The weird exceptionalism people have regarding the north atlantic slave trade is bizarre, you’d think it was an entirely unique event.

I’d guess it’s a product of the prominence american slavery understandably takes in anglo-sphere history classes. Articles like this suggest it is passing into ahistorical exaggeration though.

[princess-has-a-pen-deactivated2]

…

OP can’t be serious.

They are? They’re comparing one significantly tragic event to another significantly tragic event at different points in time to make some dumbass point and be an antisemitic putz? Really?!

there's a korean post about death note that never fails to make me laugh and here's my best translation of it

“light was such a fucking dumbass in death note though 

if he knew L had installed a camera in his room he should have gone the full fucking mile and acted out that shit

fap to porn mags

pick his nose and smear it under his desk

take selfies of his ass

act like a cartoon character in front of the mirror without a shirt on

if he’d made a complete ass of himself then L would have removed him from the list of suspects forever

but his stupid-ass pride got in the way and he got fucked over”
