#is she black or is she asian???

[ghostnebula]

I've been going through photos from my childhood for a baby shower game and I think I understand why people were often so racially confused by my existence

#ghost gabs #i can appreciate your confusion now #is she black or is she asian??? #NEITHER BITCH #on the one hand i hope this kid looks like me #on the other hand i hope she doesnt experience microaggressions for a race she's not 🤣 #i havent seen some of these before and im like #oh okay i get it now #that child DOES look east asian

[crunchycrystals]

this makes me want to cry

#crunchyposts #pjo #pjotv #guys i also have been obsessed with this series for years it means so much to me that the actors are also fans of the book #it doesnt mention it here but i know leah's said that she was so excited to play annabeth to be 'the girl in her brothers books' #since she got his old copies when he left for college (?) #this means absolutely everything to me rep in media means so much to me bc of how little i understood myself as a kid since i never saw #anyone like me and pjo was the first time i saw someone whse brain was kidna like mine and so many things clicked into place after that #and as a queer girl and someone who's south east asian i rarely saw anyone like me on tv and ive still never seen any demiro char on screen #but now they actually have a non white nd character and its /my/ favorite character and its gonna mean so much to younger black girls #100 #150 #200 #300 #400 #500 #1k #1.5k #2k

One thing that is important to me when discussing Cassandra Cain is the fact that she didn't develop her anti-killing moral position because of the bats. Neither does she have her moral code because she's Bruce's obedient golden child. Instead she decided at around age 8 that killing anyone (even some random criminal like in the 2000 batgirl series) was fundamentally wrong because it made them feel fear and pain. Finding out the bat-code had a similar perspective about killing was more validation than anything else. She would be saving everyone she could with or without batman.

She created her own moral framework against that her (in the 2000 series at least) white father. In spite of the fact the fact that her father literally objectified and dehumanised her, she fought to speak and be heard. She chose her own destiny, Babs and Bruce just helped her along the way.

As an Asian character it's important to me she wasn't 'taught' morals by white Americans, but rather she has a code that she developed herself. She doesn't listen to Bruce half the time, and she's more loyal to the concept of the bat symbol than anyone who wears it. She consistently disobeyed him in her original run. All these things aspects help her avoid being just a character with white saviour undertones, and allow her to instead be a heroic beacon of life and compassion in her own right.

I wish more people were normal about POC, and specifically black, characters in the MCYT fandom. I mean, for obvious reasons related to CCs and all that, but also bc I often feel like I’m doing something wrong because sometimes I’m one of the only people I know how is getting like? Stimming flappy arms excited about my favourite black characters? It’s not like I’m singling them out either I get the exact same way about my favourite non black characters?

It’s jarring to get into skyjacks and see almost equal amounts of art of Jonnit as everyone else because I’ve been in this weirdly passively racist fandom for so long. People are so weird about like CANON (silly canon but) biggri and they make them weirdly toxic when they were so sweet. If it was Scar and Grian you people would be all over it. And dude fucking whatever happened to the way people drew Ponk. And, it’s not even just black ccs and characters. Don’t get me started on the way a lot of Dteam fans back in the day (and still some qsmp fans) talk about Asian women like Tina.

#obv if you’re black your input is more important than mine #this is just important to me because a lot of my favourite characters and CCs are black and this fandom treats them like crap #and obviously??? because black people matter generally??? even if I wasn’t really into their content I still would be upset #I don’t watch tina! I don’t watch p0nk anymore! I can still feel angry about this! #and you should be too #sorry including Tina in there makes this flow weird she’s Asian oops #sorry I am. so tired

Why the FUCK didn't Sasha apologize to Quinni.

#no im so pissed about that. #dude you don't give an autistic person a meltdown that big over something that hurtful #and just #walk away scot free #last time someone gave me a meltdown that hardcore I cut them off for a month. #that might just be the bpd tho #but still #quinni doesn't seem like the type to just. be chill without an apology and hearing sasha explain herself #and then she makes her her vice?????????? #she already acknowledged sasha is only in it for the power trip #sasha didn't even do anything in the investigation she just followed quinni around #which as she should #but she hasn't made up for how she treated quinni AT ALL #in fact she's just gotten MORE of a performative activist #like why the fuck was she such a bitch to missy abt spider #i get it yea. ur friends sometimes have dogshit taste in men but you don't need to make them feel like trash abt it #and the way she was like 'he fetishizes u for being black omg its probably asian girls next omg i dont feel safe' #THIS ISNT ABOUT YOU????????. #also she 100% jumpstarted quinnis identity crisis #with how she was constantly switching between infantilizing her and undermining her autonomy over her own decisions #and treating doing things quinni wanted to do and the specific way she needed to do them as a chore #and then victimizing herself!!!!!!! #like from experience that relationship dynamic IS abusive to autistic people it just is #idk if nt people get it but it's really fucking awful to come from your partner #anyway. until sasha apologizes to both quinni and missy this will continue to be a sasha hate page. #heartbreak high #heartbreak high season 2 #quinni gallagher jones #sasha so #missy beckett

well while I’m sorry to hear we’re losing Millie Gibson at the end of this season I damn hope that RTD can treat Varada Sethu’s companion character better than he ever treated Martha

#this better not be another ‘blonde girl kicks it brown/black girl has to pick up all the pieces’ narrative #Martha my beloved my angel my girl you were the BLUEPRINT and you deserved the WORLD that you walked #I am thrilled to see greater south asian representation and I really love that it’s going to be a Black Doctor and a South Asian companion #begging that it’s good. ACKNOWLEDGE YAZ WAS THERE ALSO #millie is very charismatic as well I hope she gets written off in a way that she and her talent deserves #doctor who #dw #ncuti gatwa #varada sethu #millie gibson #rtd

oh! I noticed someone wrote captions for the Private Interview comic (which is a huge feat, thanks for taking the time to do that)! I'm not reblogging it yet since I want to made some edits (and I don't have the spoons at the moment, sleepy).

Biggest mistake on it though- Lois Liando is not Black. She is Southeast Asian- specifically Chinese Indonesian and brown/dark skinned. The man with glasses in the flashback panels (Lois' dad) is not a white man. He is also Chinese Indonesian, just lighter skinned.

I know people mean well but it's really annoying when Southeast Asian identity is erased completely in a comic that mentions Indonesia by name and alludes to a real historical event explicitly.

#ramblings #juuust exhausting especially when I got so many racist comments on twitter calling Lois a bunch of anti-Black nonsense #she's been called Indian/latine/Black despite the comic explicitly saying otherwise. it's a headache #brown asians exist. Southeast Asians exist. I'm tired.

.

That's all I can think of from the top of my head. Tbh most of her designs r meh to me. Only cuz it's just a white woman whoopths

#Poison ivy is black or south Asian u can't change my mind #Everytime I open a comic & she's white I get jump scared #Ask #Asks

[dappy-dappernette]

Unsurprisingly the Z-onist AI-Generated Isr-el OC person is a terf, a race fetishist, and likes content from far-right users on Twitter. What a lovely woman. 🙃

#hetalia #disk horse #also ''they're making fun of MY art'' ah yes. the process of typing words into a box must be so hard. I commend you madame #alongside her little friend being racist towards Asian and Black folk too so... Not surprised she's like this lolzies!

EVERYTHING I HEAR ABT THAT SPIDERMAN PS5 GAME...... EMBARRASSING......

#i mean i can tell from miles' [gestures vaguely] everything there isnt any black ppl on the team. but damn no puerto ricans either ?! #how yall accidentally put the cuban flag in his house when hes puerto rican............... #chile i saw rio and thought she was asian 😭😭 just a mess!! imma still watch berleezy play though 🚶🏾‍♀️ #txt

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

Out of spite, I’m just going to say catra is white woman because she really is to be honest.

lmao yeah, pretty much. i mean, there aren't even races or ethnicities in etheria. we see people of color but we never see any kind of tradition or culture that sets each kingdom apart.

in ATLA, for example, we are clearly shown how unique each kingdom is, we see different cultures and different types of political power. we see how time has changed each culture, unique traditions and social norms in each of them. even within the gaang, we can see how different each of their culture is.

but in spop? they have diversity for diversity's sake. that's it. it's clear that none of the characters were inspired by real life poc.

#you can say that glimmer is asian but what makes her asian apart from her character design? #what makes bow a black person apart from his character design? #thats right nothing #spop critical #spop salt #spop criticism #spop discourse #spop #she ra #anti spop

[garbashedump]

what if they were human?

kay kay kay so i was thinking what would the bugs loook like if they we in a human form or like in a disguse similar to scrabby and this is what i got:

I was also thinking hmm.... well beetles are one of the most diverse species in the world and literally I watched a video talking about how they collected beetles for a sample in the wild and out of those beetles they discovered 7 new species. Soooooo I was like what if they were different races instead?

honestly, I'd be so funny bc of how Scrabby is ginger and he just starts singing the Animaniacs song if someone asks his race

its literally just this lol

also I did as much research as I could ofc :p

Also one with the pink/green eyes (Popstar) belongs to @chaosaliien and the one with purple eyes (Stella) belongs to @liqu3d

#uhh here are their races if you're interested #moonfly is black #Jacob is Brazillian #Frost is middle eastern #Node is asian with curly hair from Prism #Stella is light skinned #like damn she in the mood #iv'e never seen men become so zesty in my entire life the way they act when ice spice comes on #stella ice spice FR LMAO #IVE TESTED MY HYPOTHESIS #THEORY? CONFIRMED. #god damn Jacob the definition of testosterone #when i tell you how clever i felt making Jacobs cracks as scars on his face #i might've done a bad job but jacob has bleached hair thats overgrownnnn so yeahhh #honestly i love chracters with vililigo they're actually so pretty #they have constellations on their face what is more mystical than that? #WHEN I TELL YOU I HAD 👏 TO 👏 TRUST 👏 THE 👏 PROCESS 👏 WITH 👏 THE 👏 VITILIGO 👏 #white pen ink is very tasty i def recommend /j #diffrent face shapes lessss goooooooooooooooooooooo #ain't no way somebody reading all this shiii #ok ik ik ill stop writing becoming president of yappersville rn #lawful joke fanart #lawful joke #lawful joke fankids
