sifu-kisu liked your post: Also I am just going to go out on a limb and guess you hate sifu kisu too for no raisin.
windsofcomfort asked: The one thing that bothers me about most White-washing, or just social justice, blogs in general is that you never seem to be willing to actually address a counter argument without appearing hostile or just plain dismissive. Yes, it's perfectly fine that you are addressing what you feel is a serious problem. What is NOT fine is either being dismissive of other opinions with GIF answers....

carshalash asked: So basically, if you're a different skin colour than someone else. You can't treat them like you would a normal person you have to make a big deal out of it and treat them differently. This sounds a bit like racism to me young lady.
chickahdee asked: It actually is bothersome that the colours were so distinctly off on the projector, since essentially how cartoons work-is that they DO use the same skin tone as a base EACH and EVERY time, and work on top of that, giving it lighting, and shading afterwards. So especially in concept are where there is no shading/lighting... it just doesn't add up. It's the people who are colouring her...
lava-princess asked: Hmm as your argument is a valid wrong, you're going about it all wrong. You make statements without backing them up with legitimate sources, not to mention you use way too much pathos in your argument. Use some ethos and logos and then you'll have a serious argument. Until then, you're just another bigoted social justice blogger with horrible rhetoric. A common thing on Tumblr.
raithunder asked: I am being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of basic these people are spewing. Korra is brown. Korra is whitewashed. People with internalized(or externalized) racism prefer light skinned Korra over her lovely brownness. And if anyone was ever attacked by a rampaging crowd of black people it would have been all over the headlines: "Rampaging Blacks Attack Innocent White Child!" Because the...
queerfabulousmermaid asked: A herd of black people. Really? Of all the words he could use. Fuck his trollin ass. Also you are so fantastic! And flawless.
mykingdomforabutttouch asked: Is this dude trolling? Wtf.
ipreferadorkable asked: This blog... it hurts. It really does. Why can't people trust Bryke to, you know, do their own thing? Because it's not like they don't know that if Korra magically turned white between seasons there would be ridiculous amounts of negative publicity that they don't need. You ever think that picture may be due to the lighting, or the photo? Even so, in lighter areas within the...
carshalash asked: Why don't you complain about something that matters instead of a tone being lighter in a sketch. Oh no you're going to use a glee gif to show how wrong I am for suggesting someone is wrong on tumblr.
dad-mcnugger asked: When I was younger I was beaten up by a rampaging herd of black people. It was from that point on I had a terrible fear of them. How do I get over my debilitating fear of blacks?
dad-mcnugger asked: It's hard to pinpoint when I might of made descisions that influence whether or not I enjoy a piece concept art over the actual design. What do you suggest I do?
chickahdee asked: Ohman... I'll be so disappointed if Korra is that much lighter in official art and posters when they come out. Even if it does happen, I'll be using all the old ones for reference when I do colour in any Korra art.
dad-mcnugger asked: It's both. I took the liberty took look back on my life choices and found that every choice I have ever made has nothing to do with this.
bropezu asked: Jussayin, whites are the minority in the U.S now.
dad-mcnugger asked: Does it make me a bad person to like the Korra we see today more than her concept art?

stopwhitewashing:
highlanderhufflepuffhugmachine:
If you wanna be ambivalent. That’s great. You aren’t part of the solution, but at least you aren’t part of the problem. Yeah, yeah, we all bleed the same color. That’s great you aren’t contributing to racism, but thanks a lot for ignoring the racism that is still around anyway.
But the moment you sit there, and tell the people that DO care to...

thisiswhiteprivilege:
White Privilege is Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko, creators/writers of The Legend of Korra. Because casting off your WOC heroine had nothing to do with your privilege, right guys?
Mary: Just leaving this here.
theclumsycondition asked: I remember I had a Gender and Race Studies class, and we were discussing how Crayola once had the light crayon called 'flesh', and how black children preferred coloring with it because it was stated to be prettier. A guy in the class, a white male, said he refused to believe this story, because he couldn't 'understand how a child doesn't have pride in their race'. I...
