Twitter police harass Japanese artist, then play victim when called out

PIN!!!

Woke people: "We're protecting Latinos and feeling offended on their behalf!" Latinos: "No you're not. There is nothing to be offended by here. Just stop. You're not helping us in anyway." Woke people: "Shut up! You're an asshole! You're attacking me!" starts crying

As a Latino, I hate that the gringos pretend to be like our defenders, it's as if they think we are weak or something, the worst thing is that in the end they base themselves on stereotypes when criticizing that type of art, saying that its racist to add a white latino, when that argument is racist

I'm from Okinawa. What these weirdos don't seem to realize is that every ethnicity comes in many shades of skin tones. In my family alone there are people with very dark skin to very pale skin. Latinos also come in all shades as well. These gringos/gain need to calm their racist asses down and just enjoy fan art.

These type of people aren’t “deFenDing”. They’re just putting artists down.

I wish they would stop trying to talk for other races. I am a Latina and it looks just FINE I quite like it! You can tell their style has a more pastel tone over it! Its very well done and they deserved praise over the garbage people who have nothing to do with it gave them. They're the same people who make Encanto's movie about something that IT ISNT and THAT makes me more angry than an artist who colored the skin just a bit lighter than the original.

-Claims they value diversity and multiculturalism. -Hates it when a culture interprets another culture in their own medium, demands that the "perpetrators" adhere and stick to their own culture.

I'm Brazilian. "Gringo" is NOT a slur. This is the first time I've seen someone say it is

As a Latina, I can’t understand these kind of people that pretend to tell me I don’t know what it’s like to be a Latina because my skin is different from what they think is normal in my country. Honestly sometimes they shouldn’t talk about what is “supposed” to be offensive for us.

Got offended for being called “Gringo” but they call Latinos “Latinx”. What does that make them?

Artists may be some of the most underappreciated people ever

Man, there’s nothing wrong with the art. Honestly, if the artist tried to use the original skin tones, it would have completely stand out like a sore thumb. It’s pastel art. Pastel art is more gentle, less saturation. Softer colours. If anything, the artist tried their best to compensate to the closest colours they can get. I’m pretty sure that should be easy to convey!

As a Costa Rican, I apologized on Twitter for being too white for the "art police"'s taste. My children are even whiter than me and have blue eyes, where can I take them so they get their colors corrected? Thank you! I'll make everyone a deal: I'll stop using "gringo", if everyone stops using that offensive term that spells almost like "latino", but with an "x".

The fact that people can’t tell the difference between white skin and a light tan and color palettes in general baffles me EDIT wow thanks for all the thumbs up this is the most I’ve ever gotten lol

As a black american, bruh nothing is even wrong with the fanart its called lighting and color theory dawg

Reminds me how this artist that made a drawing of a light brown chubby girl with tribal tattoos. And someome "fixed her art" by making the drawing of the girl be black, obese and took off her ink. Along with a message saying "Learn to draw proper diversity, also those tattoos were cultural appropriation." That was a self portrait of the artist! Who just so happen to be native hawaiian!

I- the fan art looks exactly like the characters!!!! How do you think the skin is lighter

I'm Colombiana, all I see is gorgeous artwork. Those people attacking the artist would be surprised to see (if they went to Colombia, let alone outdoors) that we don't have a stereotypical look. We look all sorts of different ways. Also Gringo is usually used along the lines "aw look at the stupid American" but it depends on context, it can also be more lighthearted or definitely calling someone a "stupid foreigner" but in a pretty bad way. It really depends on the context. lol. GUESS THEY DON'T LIKE BEING CALLED THINGS, BUT IT'S OKAY WHEN THEY DO IT, HUH?

I'm actually latino and I don't understand the issue here about the character's skin tone. I ACTUALLY like the fan art, but Twitter being Twitter. As usual : /

imagine spending days on a fanart, pouring your heart and soul, sweat and tears, and years of effort and talent into portraying characters you love...and then get accused by a random nobody of racism :)
