BLACKTOBER POKÉMON GIJINKA COLLECTION PT.1 @PINALAFLAME

Ice: If they're only lighter skinned, yeah for sure I think there's a bias. For the other part of your question, I think this might be a "better" question for @vitiligo-is-not-a-trend , but I can see what you mean, in a way. Sometimes I think what it is to me, is people trying "too hard" to have a "unique" character design. Like, they want to seem "different", but it's like... Black people with vitiligo or albinism aren't some mystery combo character you gotta unlock as Black Person+.

Like they think having vitiligo is a cool aesthetic, like elf ears or a tail, rather than just... a Black person. If that's the only Black person you got in your line up of nonblack people, or if no one's color exceeds the paper bag, I'm gonna worry if you did it because you thought it was "cool" and not because you actually cared about that rep.

☕ Mr. CBC: Honestly, as the son of a person with Vitiligo. Representation is great! However, I don't trust non-Black people. I'm not saying this is the case for everyone, but like my wife said, it feels like they're choosing it for aesthetic purposes. For me, seeing artist only have light skin characters and characters with vitiligo, feels like an innate need to put whiteness into Black people to make them "better". ☕
