So now that we’re talking about how shitty of a person Alex is can we talk about how racist he is?
Everyone knows about the fetishization of Asian culture but no one talks about the blackface. And I’m not only holding Alex accountable but @mulberryart as well.
Everyone knows the gyarus. The badly written, super stereotypical, and lazily designed gyarus. They all have in common the bleached hair and tanned skin.
Except that out of the five, only one of them has that skin tone naturally (Kashiko/the purple one.)
Now I know what sim of y’all are gonna say “oh they’re gyarus!!! Of course they’d tan like that!” No. That was something gyarus did in the 1900s and something we black people have said is still blackface. Tannin 2 to 3 shades darker than your actual skin is whatever, but this is straight up blackface. It’s 2023, the game is set in 202X, we know better than this bs
And we can’t forget Gyaru Ayano. She goes from snow pale to my skin tone color. This is not ok.
Their skin shades should not be this far apart. I’m holding Mulberry accountable for drawing these designs and Alex for approving them. Y’all both are weird as hell for this.
This entire post made me laugh ngl, but specifically the juxtaposition of "She's MY skintone!!! This is LITERALLY blackface!!1!" And then it's just the palest fucking, 'I stood in the sun for ten minutes' tan I've ever seen in my life was a gut punch, girl you play tooooo much. 😭😭😭
