as someone who is aware that i have an art style/character design preferences that make it very clear i'm ESEA, can i just say that hetalia fanart makes it very telling when someone has never met anyone from an ethnic group/relied on google images (whose algorithm is filled with biases) for reference

#not art #disk horse #okay i understand that im saying this from a privileged position as someone who lives and grew up in a very diverse area #however ive also learned how people look by watching free documentaries; local tv eg korean variety; other image sites that arent google #and also just talking to online friends. if u have access to the internet u have access to a lot of things #im mostly talking wrt to representations of esea and depictions of ethnic features (not fashion) btw since thats my arena #with sea its more universal esp wrt to skin tone #but for easia particularly ... who is going to tell people we dont all look sculpted or are fashionistas #thats why i gave south china a variety of features #many of them being based on my own family
