On GAHD Jussie Smollett better make a full ass recovery. I’m damn TIRED of violence against LGBTQ folks and People of Color and LGBTQ FOLKS OF COLOR like BITCH. This is why people shouldn’t have to debate their humanity. This is why homophobia and racism and transphobia is never CASUAL. There are real life fucking consequences. You know how many people who AREN’T celebrities are hurt and killed and go without justice?! FUCK.

“Ugly girls are only seen by other ugly girls. Here they are, dragging their heavy luggage up a flight of stairs as a sea of men pass by, without even thinking to stop and help. Here they are, sitting in bars trying to hide their despair behind their book. Their ugliness can be an objective beauty, flashing eyes and strong noses and swanny necks. But if it’s not subjective, if the desired gender doesn’t respond, if the parents don’t respond to it, if it’s complicated and grown-into, if it doesn’t attract, then it settles on the girl like ugliness. Christine Chubbuck was striking. But I can’t tell if I can see that only because I’m a fellow ugly girl, of the long untouched variety, the men will call me their kindred souls and then marry someone prettier and softer variety. Because in her posture and manner is the weight of the undesired.”

I want to write this post to apologize for all the problems and inconveniences I have caused for my bad choice of words.

I’m really sorry for making you think that the way I described the different characteristics between two different ethnic groups means my preference for one rather than the other. I’ve never meant that one ethnic group is better than the other or that the other is uglier than the other. I never thought of stereotyping any features or underestimating them. I just wanted to explain my choice of artistic style and how I decided to represent the characters.

In any case, this situation was caused by my bad choice of words that I used to explain myself and that led to this misunderstanding.

I really apologize for all the problems and inconveniences. I apologize to all the people who felt insulted, underestimated and hurt by what I wrote. I did not want to make you feel that way, I did not want to offend or insult you in any way. I’m really sorry for what happened.

In conclusion, if my artistic contents are the source of any kind of discomfort, I will delete this account and all my works.

Thank you for your time.

literally shut up lmao you sat down and noted that these were CANONICALLY EAST ASIAN characters but that you wanted to make them white anyway because you think our chinky ass features are “less attractive”. you are a racist lol and do kindly wipe your account and all of your art off the internet so i never have to see it again. nice to note that people who look like me are “less attractive” to you to the point that you’d literally steal the representation that asians made for OURSELVES and made it about white people all over again. i want to fucking gag flat out.

Things on my grandpa's dirt road farm that was actually pretty creepy in hindsight

There was always a specific spot where anything mechanical would shut down. Cars would stall and a four wheeler would cut off

A graveyard that didn’t belong to our family sat beside the home. We don’t know the names on the gravestones

There was a skeleton in the forest. We don’t know who passed there

A home at the beginning of the road burned down but the chimney remained. I swear we could see smoke coming from it sometimes

There were figures in the wheat fields sometimes but they were too far away to see. Grandpa said they were neighbors and we should never talk to them

My great grandmas house sits next to my grandpa’s, abandoned, and we were told to never go in there

Sometimes at night when I couldn’t sleep, I could hear the sound of clacking coming down the road

hey stay the fuck away from that farm

STOP HAVING WHITE VOICE ACTORS PLAYING NON-WHITE ROLES

[agreedt]

[attentiondonor]

stop depriving non-white actors opportunities to act and get recognized!

[out-there-on-the-maroon]

Voice actors often don’t know who they’re reading for or what franchise they’re in (that’s what the strike was recently about, so they’d know whether they were in a small first time game or the 4th installment of a major franchise, if they were replacing a beloved voice actor, etc.) so please don’t harass the actors, until recently they legally didn’t have the right to know who they were reading for and were usually not told until months or even years later. 

Definitely go after casting, directors, and studios executives. Those are the people making the decisions.

Example of a VA not knowing (and getting screwed on top of it).

[beforetsparrowhawk]

They still don’t have the right to know. They got fucking nothing out of that strike. They can know the code name (which might be a serial number or whatever) and if it’s a sequel. That’s it. That’s the extent of the “transparency” they won from the strike.

As a perfect example of this controversy, if you haven’t looked up interviews surrounding Laura Bailey as Nadine Ross, it’s worth it.

Laura Bailey herself explained that when she auditioned for the role, she was given no information about what the character looked like. It was only after she was hired and arrived for recording that she was shown concept art and discovered the character was a WOC. She was uncomfortable about the situation.

Meanwhile, Neil Druckmann revealed that they were already working on concept art of the character when they hired Laura Bailey. They finalized the character’s design as a WOC after they’d hired a white voice actress, so that was a conscious decision. He was also very flippant about the situation as a whole.

Like people above have said: Yes, whitewashed casting is a legitimate and real issue. But unlike actors in film and stage, voice actors are often totally blind to what they’re auditioning for. They get fucked by NDAs and legal red tape bullshit. Go after the casting directors and execs and high-position game devs that knowingly make these decisions.

Teen girl: Mum, Dad, I’m demisexual

Parents: you’re what now?

Teen: I don’t want to have sex with people until I form a really deep, emotional connection with them.

Parents: good? That’s kind of what our sex talks have always been about? Being in love with someone and being really sure about them before having sex?

Teen: *on tumblr* I came out to my parents and they didn’t understand at all, I’m so oppressed ugh

like… posting/reblogging articles about racism doesn’t mean you aren’t white. reblogging photos of women of color and talking about how gay you are for them doesn’t mean you aren’t white. interacting frequently with woc bloggers doesn’t mean you aren’t white. when you enact racialized misogyny against a woc, the only way you’re really an ally is if you actually reflect on that and apologize.
