Japanese women are racist now if they abandon the fashion trend for using fake tan.

 

[Majormaxxx]

Stunning and brave!

But I thought this didn’t matter though. Race and gender are just player skins you can swap around regardless of any setting, time period, or source material and it wouldn’t matter. Right?

 

[El Muerto]

And of course it's white people that are outraged.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

All this constant outrage is absolutely soul draining.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Another day Americans are triggered by Japan.

Haha those funny Japanese always killing themselves!
What about the 100k people in the US dying from drug overdose?
Reeeee....

Ignore Twitter. Ignore Americans. Preserve sanity.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Is this really tan outrage? Am I getting this right?

 

[dDoc]

Once you go black, you always go back? Or something like that

 

[Danjin44]

This shit is no different that PETA getting "outraged" over pointless shit.

Remember this?

[Majormaxxx]

Twitter was a mistake

 

[Neofire]

lol, Yuko was never black. Closer to ganguro if anything.

So a character in black face?

Lol you can't make this shit up I swear....

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Twitter, outrage, Persona, black....

Yep, it's Wednesday.

Why do Americans always complain about foreign cultures with their political views? On a completely different country

[Moriarty1889]

Twitter and it’s never ending cesspool of morons seeing everything thru the lens of race.

 

[StereoVsn]

Whats so messed up is its crickets are outright defending if an existing character is turned black, which is happening on every movie and game released now (for ESG scores or to coattail to woke resetera/reddit types who have been brainwashed), but they have a conniption /hissy fit if a characters skin is made lighter. Something tells me these same fools would have no problem if it was made darker.

To all the nutters out there: How about this? I'll start caring about your whitewashing characters when you start caring and railing against turning existing characters and straight up historical figures black, gay or what not when they originally were not... (like the queen of f'ing England, or Cleopatra)

Can we have some consistency? A guiding principle to go on that applies equally and not one sided? How about "Leave existing characters alone, let them reflect history or their fiction presented in classic literature, games, movies, books, comics, etc... and new characters for new fiction can be whatever the author/creator/designer wants.

Important question, could historical figures still be anime girls? Imagine next Hamilton but it’s all Anime!

BingGPT to the rescue.

So I guess now, if a white person get tanned in the summer and loses it in Fall/Winter they are racist? Or is the next crazy trend from these people will be that getting yourself some sun tan is considered racist because you are doing some kind of black face?

 

[diffusionx]

I mean she literally looks tanned

Anime styling has black characters all the time, you can tell

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

She wasn't "ganjuro", she didn't have blackface on, she was just dark skinned.

Then why are her lips white?

 

[Chechack]

Shes just ur typical anime athlete tanned skin runner.

Ive read thousand of h-manga to know one

....oh wait....

We don't own that shit.

We're not. Individual idiots, who think they have life and the world figured out are doing shit like this. Pure Ignorance and that Dumb Narcissism that comes with it.

Birdie from Street Fighter

I am outraged. OUTRAGED!

Birdie is a niche character that very few people follow. There's just as much outrage as when they turn a major white character black. Also, it's easier to look past color/race switching when 80% of characters are your race. There was plenty of crying when Rockstar decided to go with LA Gangs and a black protagonist in GTA

I'm making fun of the situation in general.

If it IS a situation, it is one concocted by individuals with no sense of brevity. Souls with the brains of a sand grain.

That's an insult to sand, sir.

My bad. I think all the glass in the world might also be offended by my mistake.
