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

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.

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.

Artists may be some of the most underappreciated people ever

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

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.

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

-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.

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".

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

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 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 : /

As a black Latina, this whole issue has made me feel incredibly angry. It has been THREE times this year (yeah, barely January) where these Americans (all black, funnily enough) create a problem out of nothing, featuring Latinos ofc. First the Japanese artist, then the ''gringo is a racial slur'', and then the latest issue, when a Venezolana quoted someone else and accidentally said the hard N, and even though she didn't do it with bad intent, she was threatened, insulted and doxxed by them. I understand that's a slur, I understand a lot of people hate it, but that doesn't justify the bad treatment to her! She even said she was going to apologize until she got attacked. Now all Latinos defending her, defending the seemingly ''whitewashing'' of the fanart and saying again and again that gringo is not a slur... are racist and ''anti-black''. Hell, an Afro-American said I hated my own heritage/blood because I was defending the girl. I hate it A LOT. Please, do not bring your trauma to us, we know a word has no power and we know a drawing is a drawing.

I stop listening to someone when they say “ As a *insert thing here*. And these Twitter police are exactly why I say this.
