The first manip I finished for my audition for MxDisney. I finished this manip almost a week ago, but I wasn't ready to share or talk about MxDisney yet due to my bird having passed away - I just wasn't in the right headspace to talk about much else. But my audition is almost finished and will be uploaded soon :)

☀️Rapunzel Racebend🤎

Just a fun edit✍️ to see what Rapunzel🎨 and her family might look with an alternate design✨. I was so disappointed when they announced Rapunzel🖌 and just made her ANOTHER white and blonde princess👑 (although I do like her design, especially her purple💜 dress👗!!)

I did keep her hair blonde👱‍♀️ in this edit, because it’s color🌈 comes from the magic flower🌼 in the story📖. If anything, I think her having darker skin emphasizes her unique💫 blonde hair way more!

April O'Neil Facts - About Her Race

Ok, I've seen some nasty people on the internet making some pretty nasty comments in regards to April o'Neil of the TMNT franchise not being portrayed as a white skinned redhead.

First, you all need to grow up. At the end of the day, she's a fictional character. Yes, I don't like racebending or whitewashing (more so with the latter) but making a entire hate videos is just pathetic and not my style; and I'm not talking about people who can be ACTUALLY critical and thoughtful in their dislike of racebending (those people I agree with) but the ones who just so obnoxious and hateful about it.

Second, for my personal opinion. I'm not a big fan of it all the time (especially when see and/or described physical appearance of the character) but I don't vehemently hate it. Plus, one exception would be something on TVTropes calls, "Truer to the Text"; the trope means how a piece of long-running media has a current adaptation that fits in with the original (the VERY first) adaptation. For example, let's say the newest incarnation of Charlie from the "Wonka" franchise is black, it would fit this trope. Why? Interesting trivia but in the original story by Roald Dahl Charlie was originally supposed to be black but his editors said no. So, at least to me, it wouldn't be a racebend but being truer to the text. I'll explain why this trope matters in the final paragraph.

Third and following from the second reason - the creators (Eastman and Laird - sorry, forgot to post their first names), each have different takes on her ethnicity - From Eastman, he states April is mixed-race while Laird states she's Caucasian. And originally she was supposed to be Asian (I'm guessing Japanese but that's only a guess from me not the creators). And her name came from an African-American woman Eastman knew.

Finally, given all this information, I believe April can be portrayed as a Caucasian redhead, black, mixed, and/or Asian in various forms of media depending on the future creator(s). Why? Because it's part of her history and given how neither creator can come to unanimous decision on her race, then it should be reason that she can be portrayed differently.

Well, those are my two cents and I stand by it. Anyone is free to disagree but be polite and respectful.

Genderbend and racebend art is fine (except whitewashing) I just get annoyed that the “opposite” gender is always sexy-fied

#also you don’t see a lot of androgyny bent or whatever we would call it #like gender is a spectrum I’d like to see more to genderbent art than just the binary #genderbend #gender bend #gender bender #genderbent #gender bent #rule 63 #internet rule 63 #gender swap #gender swapped #racebent #racebend #race bent #race bend #bent not broken

Me: Huh, the trailer for the new Superman cartoon looks mildly interesting.

Me: Wait, why is literally everyone but Superman racebent? 

Me: And why is Lois a generic tomboy? Are they trying to attract the Tumblr demo? 

Me: Is that why the art style looks like She-Ra: Princesses of Power?

Five bucks says Lex is still a white guy.

Racebending In The Harry Potter Fandom

In 2012, the fan cast were all white actors- Andrew Garfield for Remus Lupin, Ben Barnes for Sirius Black, Aaron Taylor Johnson for James Potter, Karen Gillan for Lily Evans. However, as the years progressed, fans pointed out that all the actors chosen as face claims were much too old to play the role of characters who died at 38, 36, and 21 respectively. As the Marauders fandom had another wave of popularity with All The Young Dudes in 2020, fans started to use younger face claims who were young enough to be in their late teens and early 20s, and they also began to racebend characters like James Potter and Sirius Black. Making James Potter Desi and making Sirius Black East Asian offered much more nuance to their characters. However, there’s also been a rise in Harry Potter edits using the original fancast- the all white one. I think this is a reaction to the diverse fan casts that have been used in edits over the last two years- white fans are uncomfortable no longer seeing themselves in every character, so they’ve reverted back to the 2012 fan cast.

The fan spaces are predominantly white, which is evident by the fans who make TikToks with their own faces instead of their faceclaims. The racebending of James Potter and Sirius Black, however, has shown that those who do identify as South or East Asian do carry power in the fandom, and they are able to bring their own experiences into the fandom. For example, making James South Asian and making Sirius East Asian can offer more nuance and power to the canonical events in the Harry Potter texts, like James’ in-laws being rude to him and abusive to his son was because of their race, and Sirius’ family uses shame and guilt to manipulate their children because of the shame cultures that are so prominent in East Asian countries. The experiences that Asian fans have had in the real world have influenced so much how they view the Harry Potter texts, and therefore it also influences their transformative content they produce as well.

Some of the actors of colour suggested for Jareth based on an idea from the In Each Retelling Discord, suggesting that you don’t have to choose who can play the Goblin King. After all, what’s more fae than shapeshifting and genderfluidity? Especially when Jareth tells you that they move the stars for no one.

fandom criticism / racism is always loudest when the racebent character is a Black woman whose love interest is a white man. that seems to set those folks off like none other.

So how bad is the outsiders musical?

for people unfamiliar with the source material or not big fans, they seem to be eating it up

everyone else.... not so much.

the most neutral view i have taken from the la jolla previews and what we have coming out is that from the general outset, it fails to be a musical. people tend to praise the score while universally, the songs have not been well received. a lot of reviews and people online have stated that the songs aren't memorable and they tend to forget them in a day which is crazy when it's, you know, a musical and your first aim should be creating memorable music. they also state the boys are shirtless way too much on stage and some of it is inconsistent.

secondly, the character choices are bad. i'm still waiting for more confirmation/flat out spoilers for the changes they've made. from last year at la jolla it was pretty much confirmed and stated that (1) cherry has a huge romantic role with ponyboy, (2) sandy was turned into a soc and was made to get an abortion, (3) the entire message about police brutality was removed, despite the musical mandating the only two greaser characters that die be POC. it seems as if cherry's romantic role has been pared down a bit but she still has too great a role with romantic overtones and too willingly crosses class lines she adamantly refused to cross in canon. dallas' death was modified but he still is not gunned down by a cop.

so, well.

the thing i've read and heard consistently is that the staging is good and the rumble is the best part. that's it. there's one obvious sponcon account on tiktok trying to push a fandom but the official accounts across the board have low views, particularly for this age group. i'm waiting to hear more and get more spoilers.

(in delulu news though: i do like that darry openly doesn't like dallas getting close/being friends with ponyboy. i'll take that for fanon fic fodder. that's it.)

#the outsiders #the outsiders musical #i don't care for racebending bc i feel like it hardly ever works #the best version we've gotten recently is iwtv. that slaps #but that crew put in the work. this? no. #it's superficial. it's bad. it excises the police brutality element. #all of hintons works are anti cop. all of them. so. it sucks. #also making your violently angry volatile character a dark skinned black man????? MMMMM YIKES

Your Headcanons Are Not Canon: Johnathan Ohnn Edition

Dear Spider-Verse fandom,

Johnathan Ohnn is not blond or blue-eyed. He is a black-haired, black-eyed man with a surname most commonly found among the Hmong people, though is does appear in Korea and China under different spellings. His exact ethnicity has not been confirmed in canon yet. His hair and eye color, however, are not up for debate. We saw both of those things very clearly.

If you want to headcanon him as white, that's fine. But I don't think you get to insist on him having the exact opposite coloration of what canon showed us.

I get it. The idea an Asian man could be powerful and intimidating, in a world in which Western media depicts us (I say loosely, being Central Asian myself) as powerless and weak is hard to swallow. However, even if you want to say Ohnn is somehow Scottish or something... he's just simply, flat-out, canonically not blond or blue-eyed. And people noticing that didn't "not watch the movie". These are shots FROM the movies:

If you want to view him as having the same ethnicity as his voice actor... that man is also not blond, nor blue-eyed, nor is the majority of his heritage even from ethnic groups that commonly have blond hair. Again: his canon appearance is not up for debate. It's just simply not. You can debate your conclusions, but not what's on screen.

Johnathan Ohnn is not blond. I do not know why this is a controversial take. However, I think even a fandom this toxic should be able to agree that a character's in-movie appearance is not negotiable. You can still have your headcanon recolors, but there's no need to belittle people who know how he actually looks. Please make peace with this.

Regards, Someone who did, in fact, watch the movies

(YouTube OP's info blurred to avoid the dogpiling this fandom loves to engage in)
