#and idk maybe I will try and expiriment with lighting in my own art now!

[curioscurio]

I hope you don't mind I weight in, I saw the drama at a latine encanto group. Of course I can't speak for all of us, but latines are (usually) mixed af, our families look like the Madrigales, we are used to seeing all skin shades under all lights and us changing "shade". Under a blue/night light my sister goes from light brown to looking really white, and I go from brown to a pale less saturated brown, some lights even make me really white looking. That what is maybe is causing the disconnect in our sides in how we see the issue, for us skin color changing is everyday stuff meanwhile the values is kept it's okay (Pepa being the lightest, Felix y Antonio the darkest, brownish, (and/or pinkish, bluish, etc depending of the palette) hues for almost everyone else). And I hope my wording does not fail me here but please remember latines are white too, our family lines have been mixed for some of us for more than 400 years, most of the our soft(? curly hair comes from the Arab influence in the Spaniards and then the Arab immigration to LATAM. Thanks for trying to help our representation but we usually find more important that our ethnic features are represented than if the skin color looks different (lighter or darker) because a palette. I just wanted to explain how the other side of the fandom saw this (albeit the user from tw was being really rude instead to trying to explain), I hope it didn't come of as rude, it was never my intention. Have a nice day!

Hello! This definitely isn't rude at all, and I apreciate you taking the time to type out and explain this to me! Also, may I ask if Latines is the preferred neutral term? I've heard mixed feelings on people regarding the term Latinx

This is a very thoughtful explanation, and really has helped me understand a little better on why everyone was so pissed off.

However, I know that no matter what, the damage is done and my intentions or the context of the post doesn't really matter anymore. That's just how the internet works lol. I've already tried defending myself but I can't change the minds of ppl who don't want to change their minds about me, so I'll just leave them to it.

Loke im noticing that the more I try and explain my side, the deeper a hole I'm probably digging? so I may as well take the advice and shut up about it, and save my breath 🙃

#i seriously dont mind at all and really love this ask because it does help explain how different lighting can make other colors change #and idk maybe I will try and expiriment with lighting in my own art now! #but like i said the damage is already done and a bunch of peoole now think im an sjw who wanted to be a white savior and harassed a poor #a poor japanese artist until they deleted the tweet #when in reality i wasnt even thinking about how i could help the latines community moreso I was thinking about how much of a dick #the guy was when the picture clearly was way lighter than pretty much any scene in the movie #but like i said! not my problem anymore
