SToP BLacKwAShINg ChARActERS >:(((
“sToP bLacKwAShINg ChARActERS >:(((“
Here’s why I’m so sick of this statement especially on platforms on Tiktok and Twittter.
When it comes to dark skin characters in media, there is a extreme lack of representation.
When it comes to editing characters i.e. My Hero Academia, Haikyuu, Danganronpa, Genshin Impact etc. there is nothing wrong with darkening their skin, why? It doesn’t impact their heritage.
Many assume that when it comes to people with dark skin, they are black. While there are many black people with darker skin, dark skin present in so many other cultures including South Asian, Southeast Asian, Indigenous Groups, Middle Eastern Groups, etc.
The reason so many people believe these edits are wrong is because of biases. They are uncomfortable seeing characters they like with dark skin because in our society we have made it that dark skin is undesirable and a threat.
I mean in real life people are actively trying to bleach their skin to appear lighter, people will lighter skin have higher chances of being hired, and those with lighter skin are deemed beautiful.
I will say that claiming a character is “better” with dark skin or editing fanart so it has dark skin, isn’t okay and I don’t agree when people do this.
At the end of the day though, sending barrages of hate to these people does nothing but show off your colorism.
Now you may ask “well why can you blackwash but I can’t whitewash a character”
Whitewashing goes into colorism. Many people who do this are perceiving characters as better looking with lighter skin and more Eurocentric features; again confirming their biases. This isn’t nearly as called out, because of our societal love for Eurocentric features. We see this with Miruko (BNHA), Nessa (Pokémon Sword and Shield), etc.
I’m so tired of people villainizing black and dark skin people in fandoms.

My HC for Mitsuya!
(Ft the Kawata twins and the Shiba siblings)



Okay sooo let’s start with the music genre, I think he would listen to
Mitsuya would listen to artist like Frank ocean, Kehlani, SZA, Summer walker and Ariana grande (her R&B songs)
Heavy on Frank Ocean!!
and with rap, I feel like he would listen to pop smoke, 21 savage and J. cole
He definitely fucks with female rappers like, Nicki, Doja and Meghan!! (Definitely bc of yuzuha!)
Next topic : College!Mitsuya
College!Mitsuya is definitely one of those laid back guys, that never get into problems and just mind his business.
If it wasn’t for Souya telling him all the gossip that has been going around, he wouldn’t know shit 😭
Nahoya would definitely drag mitsuya out of his dorm to attend a party that someone they know threw (bets on Baji, Chifuyu or peh and pah)
Oh yeah, also!!! I HC that the twins have a black mother and a Japanese dad
And the shiba siblings have a black dad and a Japanese mother
A lot of people are crushing on him (which is understandable 🤷🏽♀️)
He got into smoking(joint) bc of Nahoya! He barely does it unless, he is stressing the fuck out, about a project or something
No bc imagine College!Mitsuya 🏃🏽♀️You and him just hanging in your or his dorm
College!Mitsuya, rolling a blunt with this song playing in the background (ughhh)
I feel like when he’s high, That he will act totally the opposite of what he usually acts like, so basically doing reckless shit (like Baji or Nahoya )
Anywayss, if y’all are close he would def ask you to be his model for his designs😩
Just imagine!this!
“Mhh” You heard him hum
“What’s wrong?” You asked looking at him through the mirror
“Need to do something” He responded as he grabbed the scissors from the table and walked toward you
“Just stay still” He said placing one of his hands on your waist, the cold sensation from his rings spreading against your skin
“Don’t you think that this is….. you know.. kinda dangerous?”
“You think so?” He asked
You gasp as you felt the scissor against your skin
“My bad”
“By the way, yea, I do think so” You answered his question as he continued cutting the dress
“So you want to take it off?” “To be safe, I would. yeah” “do as you please, I’m not stopping you” He said making direct eye contact with you, through the mirror
Yeahhh, that mf would totally be a casual flirt {Not with everyone tho, Just you :) }
Sometimes he will just flirt with you to catch you off guard
Which happens 5 out of the 10
Definitely because you will be talking about anything, and here he comes talking bout “you would look look so good in this”
Mf was talking about the lingerie set that he made
“Huh?”
“Just saying” He shrugged before continuing sketching a new design on his iPad
Pt.2
