CC: FANART FRIDAY!!!!
I don’t know if it because they’re swamped with asks…

korraisnottan:

dialmformags:

… but I feel like I made some good points on whitewashing korra fanart and korraisnottan is just ignoring me because I’m not a blatant vulgar asshole that they can make look dumb, nor am I someone who totally agrees with their methods and they can just thank me for thinking they’re right.

All in all I said that they were right to call out racism, but not to be bullies about it, also not go looking for fights that weren’t meant to be started

Korra IS brown, but let’s be honest, she’s not this dark throughout the ENTIRE show:

For example:

Funny that none of these types of screen caps are in your references, but yeah.

Just putting that out there. :/ I’d hate to have someone just tell everyone else what’s wrong with my art and not me. And not even put a specific explanation for each piece.

Seriously keep doing your thing but if you don’t want people treating whitewashing like “no big deal”, stop treating everyone like they’re master artists who also own lynches. Half the time it’s like yelling at a baby for shitting themselves: potty training doesn’t happen by just yelling at them.

Deedee:

I’m not getting any of your asks. I’m actually not getting any asks. I’m sure they are going to straight to the admin and we’ll have to fix that when she gets on. But they fact you are mad your asks aren’t getting answered is fucking childish. Stop that. 

The fact you just tried to used a whitewashed screencap,

Screencap straight off the nick.com website stream less than two seconds after that picture, to talk about her lightness just really makes me want to ignore the rest of what you are saying and go with my life. But because I’m in a good mood. I’ll play along.

I’m not going to sit and write down a detailed reasons as to why for every single one. 

Most of the screencaps I post are enough explanation. If it is a standalone picture. It better be close to that screencap from that official art right there. Those are the ones I judge the most.

I have take into concideration many things when I post pictures. 

Standalone or in a setting. Does the setting have a time of day, is it inside or outside. What’s the source of light and for the amount of light they are using, do the shadows have enough contrast. 

As you can see. The brighter it is outside for her, the more contrast between the darkest and the lightest skintone she has. The darker, the less contrast. 

The first is her outside in the bright light and as you can see, her darkest tone is the same as her inside (right below it) darkest tone in regular lightening, the closest to the official art. 

I’m not going to explain myself again but since I’m a new mod, I’ll do it this one AND ONLY ONE MOTHERFUCKING TIME. 

Seriously keep doing your thing but if you don’t want people treating whitewashing like “no big deal”, stop treating everyone like they’re master artists who also own lynches. Half the time it’s like yelling at a baby for shitting themselves: potty training doesn’t happen by just yelling at them.

I can’t even with that shit.

Dear white-washing avatar fans: Toph is NOT white (a lesson in genetics and your “inadvertent”racism)

lightspeedsound:

1.  Toph is a member of the Bei Fong family. I hate to belabor the obvious here, but that’s NOT a white name, or a hispanic name. That is a Chinese name. Translation here.

2.  Now on to the good part.  This is Toph’s dad:   

…as you can see, he is obviously Asian.  You get that, right? That is just not a white person. I don’t care how pale his skin is. He’s an aristocratic man in a society that is modeled after ancient China/Japan/Korea.  Of course he’s pale skinned. 

3.  This is Toph’s mom: 

…again. She’s very asian.  VERY, VERY Asian. Do we need to go into how Asian she is? I hope not.

4. WHEN TWO ASIAN PEOPLE HAVE BABIES, THEIR BABIES END UP LOOKING ASIAN.  

5. I know, I know. Toph has light skin and dark hair! She could be white! EXCEPT: 

…she’s really fucking not.

Toph is really Asian.

I hope you understand.

AND THAT BEING SAID: 

THIS. 


IS 


NOT. ACCURATE.


THIS.

IS 

MOTHERFUCKING

RACIST. AS. FUCK. 

…why you might ask?

…because YOU TURNED AN ASIAN GIRL WHITE.

BECAUSE DESPITE OBVIOUS CUES AND HINTS AND FACIAL FEATURES…

…YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS UNIMPORTANT.

…Boom. Racist. 

/thus endeth the lesson for today.
