Another thing I’d like to address is something that came up during said drama that at the time I did not handle properly. I’ve been raised in a very closed off part of the country, I was homeschooled, I lived on a farm and rarely got to see anyone outside of our church friends. This is to explain why I didn’t understand what I had done was wrong, but now fully understand and have changed what I did.
During a question someone sent me, they inquired why I had chosen to make Megatron a person of color, and I responded explaining myself. IE, the problem wasn’t that he was slightly tanner (He was not black, he was supposed to be Italian/Spanish), the problem was that I used the term “Colored”, which I’ve now come to realize is not an appropriate way of addressing people of color. That wasn’t right of me and I do apologize to those I hurt using said term.
