Stylistic choices can be taken (like giving a character with 4 hair a silk press, or an artstyle without noses), but if they’re done to replace a character’s features, it is racist. Even the most well-intentioned people can accidentally whitewash a character.

Black washing is the same, but racist love to pretend its not because you think you can justify it because we are brown, slavery and representation.. just say you racist.. its more honest.

What can I do if the character's owner always draws the same or almost the same features for characters of different ethnicities? Should I ask them what their characteristics are? I'm worried they'll ignore me😭

sighs in my artist friend doing this to all of his poc ocs. Worst yet is that he is a poc, and in a very racist state and part of me wonders if there's something internalized there.

Wait but what if the noses are a stylistic choice? I always draw my noses with a line

I feel like the texture one can be forgiven in animation for the sake of making it easier to animate

Whitewashing is a form of race swapping that I'm not a huge fan of.

People saying blackwashing is wrong because whietwashing is wrong are just so disingenous lmaoo. Why is whitewashing wrong again? Oh yeah- the history and the context behind it. If you isolate white washing, it is not self defining- it is defined by its HISTORY and context.
