I actually have a question in regards to how characters are drawn.Is there a reason why the eastern side of fandoms spaces dislike it when characters are drawn and colored with darker skintones? One would simply assume it’s colorism and racism right off the bat, but I heard there were other reasons as well (beauty standards)I’d like to know more about this instead of simply jumping to conclusions.

I mean. Colorism and beauty standards are deeply intertwined, anon, both here and in Japan. Like in the US, many people in Japan don’t like to admit the racism and colorism that’s ingrained in their society, and tend to pretend[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Is It true that the reason why loli characters are so popular in japan is tied to the high rates of pedophiles/sexual assaulters in there? Or is just something antis spread to make lolicons look bad?

Anon. It’s not “just something” pro-censorship fans spread to make people look bad. It’s yet another element of pro-censorship fandom culture that’s tied to its conservative authoritarian nature. It’s racism. It’s xenophobia and racism. 👉 “The Japanese are all perverts”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

As a queer asian, I have every right to defend yaoi/BL and yuri/GL. Which many antishippers seem to also be against. Anti-fujin people don’t understand just how important yaoi and yuri is when it comes to asian queer culture. The claim that yaoi and yuri is “fetishizing gay people” is bullshit. GAY PEOPLE CONSUME THIS STUFF! And ESPECIALLY gay asian people. They are dismissing the importance these stories have played in shaping the queer community in Asia. And especially true for the queer community in my home city.Anti-fujin people are queerphobic and racist, no matter what they say.

I automatically assume that people saying they want more POC in anime are lying because that was a complaint for years in the Pretty Cure fandom and then when we got Elena, a Mexican-Japanese dark-skinned superhero, people tore her to shreds for being bad Latine representation. She has five siblings so Pretty Cure is racist and using the ‘big Latine family’ stereotype, and first the fandom was angry she wasn’t speaking Spanish at home so Pretty cure is racist against Mexicans, then when we did see her speak Spanish the complaint was that she never struggles with Japanese or Spanish so Pretty Cure is pushing the false idea that biracial people have to be multilingual, she doesn’t have a love interest so Pretty Cure is anti-Latine (nevermind that nobody in that season had a love interest, at all) etc.People said they want more POC but the second a badass adorable sweetheart character comes along who’s Mexican-Japanese, they tore into her harder than I’ve ever seen the fandom tear into any other character. People don’t want good rep, they want a target to latch onto and bash en masse.They also bashed a lot of Latine fans who like Elena Amamiya, from people who did fanart of her to people who cosplayed her, and it was so exhausting to see. The Japanese half of the fandom loves Elena, to be clear, to the point where merch of her sold out periodically at the Pretty Cure store IRL, so it’s very much just white people speaking over Latine people to object to her. (And white people speaking over mixed race people who liked Elena’s backstory of being picked on for being mixed and deciding to be happy in spite of them because she has control over her own destiny and will be happy if she so chooses. Which my mixed ass loved, because the show frames racists as being evil and I am living for that shit.)This is why I don’t trust people who say “we need more POC” because it feels like what they mean is “I need a character to hate who’s a minority (while using social justice buzzwords so people think I’m cool)”.

I have never met people as hostile to their own cause as the End OTW Racism crowd. Do you have questions about how their proposed solutions work? You’re pro-racist, you piece of shit. You want to know more proposed solutions beyond ‘hire staff to review things reported as racist’? That’s just what a racist would say. You think that blocking and muting people who are racist is a good step to take to protect yourself? Typical pro-racist rhetoric. You want to know how staff is supposed to deal with people reporting things to spite others, reports that are in error, and make a judgment call on what is and is not racist? You’re such a fucking stan for racism, Karen.I gather that these people think people care about some big-name anti in their midst but honestly, from their seething contempt for everyone who even asks a single follow-up question about the logistics of something to their utter disgust towards anyone who they perceive as not being on their side, they’re the ones making me not have a lot of faith in this as an idea.But if you don’t have a lot of faith in it, you’re of course 1. white and 2. rejoicing that an anti-racism campaign is failing, you racist. So I’m sure they read this, yelled, “fucking pro-racist white cishet lady!” and reassured themselves they’re doing something great for fandom, meanwhile in reality the first time I hear about it was a white person telling my black ass that I was pro-racist for asking what End OTW Racism even was. Don’t know about their campaign? You’re racist. Want to learn more? Racist. Oh, sure, you can say no one told you, but that’s just a lie meant to excuse your racism.Bruh. I was SPAT ON at a convention last week for cosplaying while black, how likely is it that my tumblr, AO3, Instagram and Tiktok, which are all under the same handle, are all elaborate deepfakes by a hardcore white racist pretending to be black? By contrast, how likely is it that on a planet of 8 billion, one person might not have heard of your internet thing? Especially since my fandom is an old one that refuses to move fic onto AO3 and keeps posting on FFN? Wait, wait, let me guess – “that’s just what a pro-racist would say!” ?IDK about ending OTW racism but it’s definitely helped fandom racism as a whole stay alive and thrive by giving white teens in the suburbs an excuse to call me racist with impunity so hats off for that. Really made my life better as a black trans person in fandom.

just saw some fashion glamour shots that reminded me that asian people of all nationalities are going to be even more unfairly hit by the “appear under age” rules than everyone else. Please remember that it is extremely fucking racist[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I think it’s very suspicious that people like to cancel Japanese media for shotacon and lolicon while ignoring Western shows who also sexualize characters who have childlike appearances. I’d be more surprised if it turned out race didn’t have anything to do with it.

antishipping: honestly, anon? you’re kinda right. there are plenty of western media that show underage characters nude or in sexual or suggestive situations. especially those shows that have bad artstyles on purpose. south park, rick and morty, big mouth. yeah.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
