Someone PLEASE redesign these characters, for the love of God. (TBATF)

Put under the cut because these designs are fucking disgusting.

TBATF Crew Callout

I just wanted to give everyone a friendly reminder that tbatf's creators have exhibited racıst behaviors towards Romani including use of the g-slur and making their Romani character [SteamBoys AU Tom] a walking stereotype (ie a liar, a beggar, and a con-artist), which does nothing but reinforce ideas that have led to rampant hatred, police brutality, and even genocıde in Europe. Because these quirky tropes have always been funny, right?*

Bonus points for "native costumes"

Being self aware (in the first one) doesn't make you cute and quirky, love! ♡ You still drew that shit and allowed it in your shitty comic!

Don't support those freaks. Please.

EDIT:

I was scrolling through someone's Eddsworld tag and came across this.

This looks so much like those racist "g*psy fortune teller" costumes, and it makes me even more angry at these women.**

Edd then goes on to do a "palm reading" and make tarot puns. I absolutely could not believe what I was seeing, but at the same time I wasn't suprised. If it were anyone else, I would have just assumed it was poor taste and ignorance. I would have tried to correct them and spread awareness of why stereotypes like this are wrong, but given their track record, I don't believe they care in the slightest.

And before you give me any shit, back in the day my own family ran the local circus AND some of them were dukers (able to read fortunes). I know what I'm talking about. I know what is and isn't harmful. Drawing a white man in a Romani "fortune telling" outfit isn't harmless.

Edit²

I elaborated on this edit in a different post right here because I feel I didn't do it justice and this post is already long enough.

*the resource I linked is mostly for a couple specific groups, but there are also more general misconceptions that they list. I'm trying to compare this with those [points 5, 6, & 11]. I highly encourage reading the whole thing for the sake of awareness. Anti-romani racısm is very real and it's important to talk about it.

**The article I linked for this part was written by an actual Roma woman, so I highly recommend reading it if you haven't.

Part 2

Tumblr finally let me upload this.

I just remembered a inappropriate joke the tbatf creators made, and wow, when I came back to it I see this.

A beet

Here's the original. As you can tell it's just a dick joke that they probably changed cause' of backlash or to make themselves look innocent.

But the reason why I bring this up is because they changed it. If they could and would change something like this then why not change the r//pe scene ?? Or even just delete it like you did with the bathtub scene, like really ??

It's just weird that they would change something that no one really cared about and just make some lame excuse for something that's actually ruining their reputation. Lmao

To Eddsworld artists/creators,

We’ve heard of fans being scared to produce anything based around Red Leader or future arcs, cause they’re worried of being accuses of copying TBATF from newer fans.

TBATF doesnt own anything but their OC’s. They aren’t even original in their plot, some of us have been here since Newground days and seen this same story told/drawn over and over again.

Just go have fun

ah the joy of having a secret deviantart that wasn't blocked.
