"if youre trying to help why are you on anon" first of all im not trying to help. im calling you out for your blatant hypocrisy. and if you were actually sorry and gave a shit about jewish people you would do a quick google search on antisemitic stereotypes and caricatures. but you clearly dont, since instead of doing the basic research yourself to try and fix the issue youd rather sit there and act like someone with a valid concern about you being a bigot is suspicious. thats disgusting behavior.
i dont mean to be bigoted! i understand the antisemetic stereotypes, about Jewish people being ‘inhuman’ and i absolutely hate those stereotypes. but im not exactly sure how they apply to benrey. In my thought process he said he wasnt human and i thought that was funny so i thought it’d be cool looking to give him grey/blue tinted skin to match his blue text and color palette. as far as i know hes not jewish (apologies if im wrong) so i didnt really think thered be a problem with it. no disrespect but im not going around and telling everyone with a non-human oc that has blue skin their creation is an antisemetic caricature. (is megamind an antisemetic caricature? im srs. is he?) (unless thats the creators intention, but thats another problem). I also like giving benrey like a fluffy tail and glowing eyes cause its cool!!! i understand these things look pretty parallel to the harmful stereotypes and some designs in media stem from harmful stereotypes [see: the bank ppl jk rowling wrote in harry potter. ps i didnt read the books sorry i just know this stuff from external media] but i dont really see how they overlap :/ and i absolutely dont mean to use the ‘my friend is xyz’ card but my mom legitimately works for ADL (anti-defamation league) which is an antisemitism-focused (as well as other forms of bigotry) anti-hate organization. i dont wanna doxx my own mom so unfortunately im not gonna show her name or smth as proof but yeah she majored in nonprofit organization or smth smth and i think shes doing pretty good! ive also been to a few of their anti-bias and anti-bigotry seminars and stuff with other teens! it was cool! heres a brief desc of the organization’s goal i got from the website:
“ADL is a leading anti-hate organization. Founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of antisemitism and bigotry, its timeless mission is to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to secure justice and fair treatment to all. Today, ADL continues to fight all forms of hate with the same vigor and passion. ADL is a global leader in exposing extremism and delivering anti-bias education, and is a leading organization in training law enforcement. ADL is the first call when acts of antisemitism occur. ADL’s ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate.”
i know i might be wrong on this but i sincerely dont understand or see how my ‘non human’ interpretation of benrey is supporting antisemetic stereotypes. i made him blue cause he’s not human, i didnt make him a blue human for nefarious purposes! im open for hearing an explanation! just dont lash out at me please. i have no negative intentions i SWEAR!!! ok ty have a nice day! sorry i was suspicious b4, just dont trust when ppl tell me stuff on anon. cause its usually hate towards me if its on anon. maybe be brave and show urself if u wanna really support! then you can find out who your allies are! or nah! twas your choice to send me an ask.
