“you are literally taking away an anime character’s race when you draw them with darker skin” = “i perceive someone as less japanese when they have darker skin” = “i think dark skin taints a race”
Hi yes.
1.) The argument being made her is NOT “you’re tainting the japanese race!!” and its harmful to treat it as such.
2.) You identify as white. You have no voice in this. Stop speaking over Asians.
3.) The only reason my white ass is replying to you is because my asian friends have been complaining to me for MONTHS about this and at this point it would be down right IRRESPONSIBLE of me to let this slide without calling you out
4.) People, WHO ARE PRIMARILY ASIAN, are complaining, not because you gave a character darker skin.
But because ya’ll keep taking Japanese characters with a Japanese family going to a Japanese school with their Japanese friends in a Japanese city in JAPAN…and racebending them, completely disregarding their canon Japanese race.
ASIAN 👏 IDENTITIES 👏 ARE👏 NOT 👏 INTERCHANGABLE.
You can’t take a Japanese character, give them a tan and call them Vietnamese. That’s Racist.
But this doesn’t mean that you can’t draw them darker! I am in no way saying that!
Dark skinned Japanese people exist, Southern Japan is a thing and Japan has a HUGE colorism problem!!
Draw them darker! Its okay!!
But suddenly disregarding their entire race and calling them Black or Vietnamese or Indian is not okay.
They’re Japanese, and before yall try to come at me with “Well, I hc them as Southern asian!! uwu” Japan isn’t even a part of Southern Asia.
If you want to draw a dark skinned Japanese person its fine!!! Its okay!! Great even!!
But stop treating asian identities as interchangable.
That’s RACIST.
And stop racebending them so that they’re no longer even asian!!
TL;DR: Dark Skinned or mixed hcs are good! Erasing the fact that a character is Japanese is not.
TL;DR 2: If you wouldnt racebend a black character, don’t racebend an Asian one!
TL;DR 3: Just admit you don’t consider light skinned asians as POC, and stop speaking over Asians already.
it’s an intersection of “blood libel”, the referencing of nameless, mysterious ‘elites’, (read: the new world order, a “shadowy group of jews”) and the implication that jewish people are inhuman. for more specification/examples of antisemitic dogwhistles check this and other sources, and please be aware of this when you consume your media.
By the way the local New Zealand drama right now is that there’s this family of British tourists in the country right now that have, on their own, been such god awful visitors that the national news and like half the country is following their exploits and they got a deportation notice. Like we literally have nothing else better to do in this country.
They’ve been in the country 5 fucking days ok not even a week. And it started a few days ago when some people Snapchatted them leaving HEAPS of rubbish behind at Takapuna beach (one of the most expensive suburbs in the country) and people were like “hey can you pick that up” and the family got real aggressive about it including this kid who could not have been more than 5 being like “ill bash ya fookin head in m8” and this was ALL over Facebook and allegedly they were all drunk too
Then later this same family was pulled over for their kids not being in proper car seats, so they got taken to the dpt store to buy some, no biggie, but u know the connection was made that this is the same family from earlier in the week.
Then yesterday the police got called in Hamilton to a Burger King where the SAME FAMILY is like, harassing staff and demanding free food, trying to walk through the drive thru and even after police were called it took like an hour to get them to leave
Now one of the woman has been arrested for robbing some sunglasses and soft drinks or something from a gas station ehdhfgrhejehehhs
I think there was more stuff. And apparently they were real fucking terrible on the flight here too. But overall the situation is just SO funny, like sure they were rude to retail workers and stole some stuff but the whole country is riled the fuck up because they left rubbish all over our beach and you do NOT get away with that shit
(We think.) The first recorded example of military flamethrowing appears in Greek historian Thucydides’ account of the Peloponnesian War between Athens ad Sparta in 431 to 404 BCE.
During the Battle of Delium in 424 BCE, the Athenians were surrounded and dug in at a fort made of wood and vines. Rather than wait them out, the Spartans hollowed out a great wooden log, lined it with an iron pipe, filled it with a smoldering mixture of coal, sulfur, and pitch. They attached a giant bellows to the Spartan end of the pipe, and were able to blow and burn down the Athenians’ fort.
After this, it appears the Spartan invention became a standard weapon in war.
florence welch: probably like 200 BCE celtic queen
keeanu reeves: 1500 renaissance hoe
jeff goldblum: late 1800′s i would guess
harry styles: fairly new immortal, 1970′s
lorde: 1920′s flapper era
hozier: man who even knows, rough estimate is like, 400 BCE
john mulaney: 1930′s/40′s, still bitter about the great depression probably and if he could put it in a bit with out being #exposed he would
paul rudd: newest to the immortal club, didn’t age past the 1990′s
I feel like this list is forgetting Sir Patrick Stewart who I believe has not aged since 7000 BCE.. After all his twin brother was the Kennewick man..
as a self-appointed expert on Hozier, i would say that date is possibly accurate.
many of Hozier’s songs reference being buried in the earth (In a Week, Work Song), and some are directly inspired by bog bodies (Like Real People Do, Run). two of the most famous Irish bog bodies, Old Croghan Man and Clonycavan Man, are dated between 392 and 175 BCE, and both are speculated to have been kings ritually sacrificed to the goddess of the land. in Take Me to Church, Hozier demonstrates a willingness to offer sacrifices to a goddess, and in Foreigner’s God, he thinks fondly upon the image of a pre-Christian Ireland (“when the land was God-less and free”). as well, Old Croghan Man is estimated to have been about 6′6, and Hozier is about 6′5.
the only possible flaw in this theory is that in a Facebook Q&A (here at 5:28), Hozier says that he is over 3000 years old. 400 BCE only puts him at ~2400. it could be that after so many years he’s lost track of how many thousands, but another possibility is that he is more contemporaneous with an older bog body, the Cashel Man, also presumed to be a sacrificed king. that would put him closer to 4000 than 3000, but again, we could forgive an immortal for getting his millenia wrong.
in any case,
it seems likely to me that Hozier is an ancient Irish king who was ritually sacrificed to the old gods, but somehow returned (possibly through intervention by said old gods) to give us music subtly hinting at his experiences.
this hozier addition is frighteningly detailed and I’m here for it
Today I made the unfortunate discovery that Jim Carrey was once a conventionally handsome prettyboy. As in, you could describe him as “elegant” and possessing “chiseled good looks” and wouldn’t be off the mark. With a neutral expression on his face, he looked… pretty. Serene.
But the moment he displays an emotion, the illusion is shattered. It’s like he went and used some exclusive mods in character creation that altered the way reality affected his face. Physics just work differently for him. He is an average-looking dude under the eldritch forces that animate his face.
