Most of the time, a character's "representation" being shown and ""erased by blackwashing"" is white or being whitewashed. You know what makes blackwashing/racebending inappropriate? when it's done to stereotype an already marginalized group of people and belittle them as much as whitewashing does. Which IS a massive problem. But that's not what the anon below me is worried about, is it.
Many people add on their own race headcanons for a character, oftentimes a projection and alongside the chara's previous rep if they genuinely had it. Why do people do this? Because they see so little of themselves in media :sob: It's not erasure. And honestly this whole thing is /nm, just please educate yourselves while also keeping REAL PEOPLE into consideration. Bc again. we're talking about the silly fictional character we all play with like dolls.

I see what you mean I think, but if people have headcanons then I do too and btw usually I respect other's ideas and be on my way, not bothering to make drama talking about it. I have nothing against it and let people enjoy what they want, but you seem to be very press about it since you wrote this long paragraph.. /nm I understand but just mind your business and I wont mind yours. If you still have a problem with me then please go ahead and hide me/block me, I'm being as respectful as I can and I don't really want to make drama over this please. /gen /srs
