Oh you ate this up bad
Saw an ask about an apparent problem of people drawing Qiu whiter than he is and whitewashing. With that in mind, I think you should hold the same standard for Tamarack for artists that draw her darker than she is to outright black. Tumblr and Twitter in general have an obsession with coloring traditionally white/pale characters the complete opposite race or adding details like kinky/coiled hair and see no issue with it but raise hell the moment a poc is one hue lighter. It erases their identity just as much as everyone says whitewashing does but everyone constantly falls back on the "only whites can be racist so changing their identity in art is okay!!" pipeline
Tamarack comes from a German family and is white, so please take the same level of importance when artists "blackwash" her or any other character in your series.
You know generally, I donât like to use this blog to as a place to act like Iâm the best, most correct person in the world and respond to things where Iâm simply telling an anonymous person theyâre wrong. Iâm just someone who has people following me because they like the stories this company makes.
However, this is something that people should know. If our POC players draw our characters having a darker skin tone than they do in-game and/or give them a different hair texture, thatâs alright. Iâve fallen off on reblogging stuff on Tumblr but itâd still be liked or reposted on Twitter.
Whitewashing means far more than the literal act of a single individual making someone look white in a fanart. If a trans player wanted to headcanon a cis character was trans, thatâs one thing. If a cis person decided to take the only trans character for miles and insist they are, in fact, cis, well thatâs another matter entirely. Your experience with your race and your experience based on sexuality or gender arenât the same things, itâs not a one-to-one comparison at all. But can people who donât get it at least start to see how there can be a difference in impact here?
The people who are oppressed in this country arenât hurting you by trying to enjoy the media that most of the time intentionally excludes them. POC werenât the ones dehumanizing white people in horrific ways. The overwhelming majority of stories and representations of heritages out there have been and still are white peopleâs already. Anyone reading this who was thinking along the lines of whatâs in this ask need to get comfortable understanding and accepting that. And if you donât, maybe you should find another game because Iâm not going to âprotect white identitiesâ from being drawn as people of color. In fact, I think itâs actually really nice if our characters are fun and comforting to people of color so much so that theyâd like to imagine those characters being included in their own culture. I think itâs strange that someone would be angry about it.

Poor Tamarack. She struggles to get along with people with so few lines they don't even get character sprites, haha.

Gang I am cooking up an until dawn/XOX DROPLETS (if you saw a different series name no you DIDNT I have brainrot) au bare with me
So far Emily-JB(duh), Pran-Matt (Ik Matt is a pretty nice guy unlike pran but he takes such a passive role in the game it fits pran more than the others) Mike-Nate (Nate is nothing like beginning game Mike, but late stage Mike? Yeah. I can see him taking that role. And the scene where he panics and debates on shooting Emily seems like something Nate would do in that situation more so than the others) (if Eve was Jessica then his reaction to what would happen then would also be in character), Shiloh-Ashley/maybe Josh(how quickly she turned on Emily when things got bad speaks to me as Shiloh. Josh because. Josh), the others? Not too sure yet.

Not the âIâm oppressed too!!!â That doesnât mean youâre exempt from bigotry and it doesnât make what you wrote any less weird or racist?
Sometimes it seems to me that it's time to remove the alphabet from Hobie/write a separate one with a black!reader, because people cling too much to the color of their skin (seriously, guys, you're fighting the wrong way, I'm literally a disadvantaged part of my country (refers to those who called me Russian, I'm Tatar and we are actually oppressed even more than black people who come to study in Russia, lol, I love my country)).
Anyway, I don't mind rewriting a separate paragraph for those who were offended by it, since this situation is becoming...comical???

This is embarrassingggggg (also hobie had a platonic admiration for Gwen. Imagine being racist and wrong)
Okay, but it's pretty funny how the whole Tumblr screams that everyone is so tolerant and you can be anyone. But he also literally decided that Hobie can ONLY love black partners (?????), although in the comics he literally has feelings for Punk!Gwen Stacy, who's a white girl????? And he is a punk who absolutely does not care about race, gender, weight and any other external data of the partner, because he loves them for their individuality????
I just wrote about his possible kink, without describing what it means that he only likes white girls, but the commentators decided that I was a racist (although they were the ones who made Hobie a racist).
I won't stop writing about Hobie or other spiders from this, but just lol, if you don't like it, don't rush to shout that the author is a racist, because you don't look any more tolerant.

Mfs see a black character with any kind of locs and the stereotypes FLOOD through the gates. They start twitching and convulsing if they donât commit one micro-aggression per paragraph in their writing.
Was reading a Hobie x reader and came across this statement whichâŚno. Just no.
Also they do that thing of characterizing him as dirty and sloppy and that he canât take care of himself, which is also just ugh
