this might be the worst fucking art take ever
>>8036126its thinly veiled elitism coupled with the outward radical leftism. A product of low iq.The quintessential wine aunt opinion, that mentality like, I am going to act like a learned bitch because my 6th husband is tall with a big dick and if you say something bad he will assault you and if you beat his ass i will divorce his ass, then kiss another
>>8036126Some of these are just stylization. But I never understood race swapping to where they look like different people. If you like a character, wouldn't you want to make them as canon as possible?
>>8036126Woke shit
>>8036126>>8036144everything looks horrible
>>8036144They draw horribly using shitty colors, whine, and expect the public to consume that garbage; it’s the same woke crowd drawing troones everywhere—a recipe for failure.
>>8036144>But I never understood race swapping to where they look like different people. If you like a character, wouldn't you want to make them as canon as possible?Adhering to canon is not only not the point, these people will say shit like>then we should ignore the canonIn response. It's either white savior "ket's give this character to another race" or said other race trying to "claim" a character for their own. It's some amazingly racist shit, because the tactic admission being that none of them believe non-whites can make or do anything on their own and have to be given things someone else made.
>>8036126>>8036144Most sane amerimutt.
this is why i dont want to interact with "artists" on social mediajust draw and shut the fuck up
>>8036144>But I never understood race swappingHe literally, outright says it on that very pic you posted, dense fuck>The story would gain a lot from being seen this way>There's basically no women and no people of color which is even worse because in LotR basically being black= being a Bad Guy = hoseshitIf you don't get it when it's spit on your face as clear as that, you should retire from society and go live in a fucking cave or something, because if you are not figthing against this retards, you are in the way

>>8036126>makes light skins darker >makes dark skins lighterwhat ideology is this
>>8036330leftismYou can make these uglier and browner, but not beautiful and whiter
>>8036330It's a combination of performative bullshit and race anxiety. Typical liberal mentality where they have to show how NOT racist they are by dialing up the melanin on white/light-skinned characters but then quietly reveal that no, they really are racist by making the diverse characters look white as shit.>aieeee, the characters aren't DARK enough! there needs to be more melanin and ethnic diversity! (makes the characters unrecognizable or fails to account for the values of dark skin which throws off the rest of the design)>erm, the diverse characters look UGLY and WEIRD and DIFFERENT, I need to make them look "better" and more appealing according to my personal sensibilities! (makes them look white and generic)>>8036144You have to understand that race swapping is almost always done by three kinds of artists: >white liberals (men and women alike) who get groomed into hating their own ethnicity and thinking "more melanin and women = good" despite ironically always being the first to go ahead with "white flight" and gentrification>dark-skinned liberal women who really want to be white and do whatever the white liberal women say but stubbornly refuse to engage with black/hispanic/native/non-east asian media because they're too white for it>women in both groups who are slightly too male-brained for their own good (engage with more men's media than women's) but can't fight the urge to project their identity and desires onto the media they consumeWoman behavior. Low self-esteem, anxiousness, excess agreeableness, and giving too much of a shit about what other people think...it's a bad combination.
>>8036344they all got better when they got whiter
>>8036144The inherent problem with race swapping is that beyond the existing retardedness of performative activism as a means to avoid ACTUALLY being not-racist, it's a byproduct of a much larger problem with American fandom in that the media that they engage with is to be considered something to freely manipulate as they see fit and be whatever the fans think it should be at any given moment. Male-majority fandom also suffers from this, but in a different way because men's sensibilities when it comes to wish fulfillment are much different than women's. Men will warp the character to fit their own individualized fantasy, women will warp the character to resemble themselves.It's ironic because these same fans will bitch and moan and shriek about their preferred media being bastardized and ripped apart in adaptations but they fail to admit that they're complicit in the collective disrespect and lack of adherence to the fiction they claim to love.I myself pin the blame on how fandom is a substitute for religion. American fandom is retarded because the main point of reference fans have is Evangelical/Protestant Christianity which is rooted in "fuck what the bible says, what I says fucking goes and you BETTER do what I say" whereas you don't really see this in East Asian fandom (at least not in the same way) because everyone's Buddhist and there's no "canon" to freely rip apart and simultaneously treat as dogma.
>>8036144This is what I mean by this sort of mentality being nothing but stupid (ex-)Christian women liberal behavior. They don't care about the history and culture or the biography of the people behind the art they engage with because in their eyes, the art exists to be in service for their autobiography. Never a more incurious and selfish crowd of people.>erm, I don't like that LOTR is white (yeah, because it was literally inspired by various European myths and epics)>erm, where are the WOMEN??? where are the POC??? (it was inspired by Tolkien's time spent with other men...in WW1)But god forbid the shitstorm they would have if someone did the same to something they made.
>>8036377>But god forbid the shitstorm they would have if someone did the same to something they made.You can fairly easily provoke a twitter meltdown by posting a black or brown character raceswapped to white
What are you retards mad about? You can draw characters however you like.
>>8036126this is like the 4th thread I've seen where it's just a screenshot of what the minecraft villager porn guy posted
>>8039486It's about a social aspect of art. It's understandable why you wouldn't know or care about it.
>>8039486i cant
>>8036126am i semi-colorblind or does it seem like a lot of "brown" characters in cartoon are really just a warm shade of grey? do the angels from hazbin hotel not look grey to you?
>>8039543You can draw characters however you don't like then.
>>8036366>there's no "canon" to freely rip apart and simultaneously treat as dogmaOften when I tell people canon doesn't exist and should be left to the realm of actual religions it causes a short circuit in their brain. I have to slowly walk them through the reasoning that all this shit is made up, so anything beyond a work as it stands on its own, whether "official" or a "fanwork", is just an entirely different work in its own right and one can pick and choose whatever the fuck they think makes the story better. If you like book 1 and its sequel book 2 and hate everything after, you are free to enjoy books 1 and 2 without having to either accept book 3/4 along with it, or reject the entire series.As a concrete example: This kind of bullshit came up with the whole Bridget thing with Guilty Gear. I can freely go>Yea Daisuke may have decided that>But I think Daisuke's decision is retarded, and I hate the new design.>So I'll stick with male Bridget, from the game I enjoyed and designs that key off that one instead, thanks. You can have yours but I don't care about the trans version from a sequel I never played nor intend to play.Predictably this enrages some but they can't argue against it.
>>8040513>>But I think Daisuke's decision is retarded, and I hate the new design.I don't even hate the new design as much as the new animations(not exclusive to Bridget). The old animations were so crisp and clean, all of the new animations are so overdone, it's kind of a gross.You're right about Daisuke being retarded. but Bridget is hardly the only example of that. Guilty Gear's lore is fucking dumb.
>>8036144I think you need to ask yourself "would a black guy wear this outfit or this haircut" for at least a second because sometimes things only work with certain skin colors and you need to be racist enough to figure it out if you don't want your guy to look like a dumbass.There's a reason a ton of Jojo cosplayers are black, there's like a dozen white dudes on earth who can pull off Yoshikage Kira but you throw that suit on any tall brown guy with short hair and there's a solid chance it works.
>>8043804that's called normal hair
>>8036126They can draw whatever they want. If I don't like it then I can just ignore it or laugh about it for a bit then move on.
>>8036126It's a mild thing that usually gets blown up for engagement bait, all things considered.I have never seen anybody complain when the MCU made Nick Fury black, or when Game of Thrones made Tyrion's scar clean and sexy. A lot of porn completely warps characters' appearances and bodies to an even greater degree than in the posted image, and gets away with it too.
>>8036565I don't care about race swaps, but why are the white ones always this washed out ugly ass aryan combo of blonde hair and blue eyes? Half the time it genuinely looks retarded with the rest of the character's outfit / palette.
>>8036126>Thing i like>make things uglier>thing i dont like>make things prettierThis mentall illness is getting tiresome
>>8044161they won't let you ignore it, they will retcon your favorite character in every future iteration, and when you call them out for low-effort ragebait, they will write a kotaku article about how you lead a bullying campaign against the artist. what you need to do is create your own content and ignore the trolls.
>>8044829Has there ever been a instance of fanart affecting any subsequent official media to such degree?
>>8044161This>>8044829Honestly this is just looking for things to get mad about. Yes, I genuinely hate the turbo autismo tumblrina raceswapslop too, but it's not that serious. Everyone knows it looks like shit aside from the small percent of people who applaud it.
