i’m just gonna say it: it’s really disheartening that it’s 2019 and i still second guess myself every time i want to use a black fc for a character because i’m worried no one is going to want to plot with said muse and that i’ll be ignored on the dash.
as a black person myself it’s just so frustrating? sad? unfair? that i can’t play a character who looks like me and not be worried about being overlooked by this community. and by this community i mean the rpc at large.
ya’ll are so quick to provide multiple quality resources for your white faves but pocs from those same popular shows/movies are constantly ignored? or giffed at a way slower proportion? so even if people wanted to use those face claims, we cant because there arent enough quality resources of them?
and when there are families in groups that people can apply for, the black family is always the one that gets the least attention. rarely anyone applies for muses from that family and when they do they barely stick around AND I CANT EVEN BLAME THEM FOR IT B/C WHO WANTS TO PLAY CHARACTERS NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO??
like we preach about diversity all the fucking time but let’s face it. the most “diverse” some of ya’ll ever get is playing latinx characters and not even darker skin latinx but the white passing ones! and the same goes for the new turkish fcs trend. and listen i’m not complaining about that because i love those faces too but i just wish ya’ll showed just as much interest in playing faces with more melanin in their skin. and even if you don’t wanna play them, like INTERACT WITH THEM?!!? PLOT WITH THEM?!?! GIF THE HELL OUT OF THEM??!?! SHOW THEM THE LOVE YOU SHOW OTHER FCS ON YOUR DASH?!
