--in a pharaoh costume" then there's a big chance it may not even be racist.

They're both Atem for goodness sake! "Yami" is a 4kids thing and not even manga canon! Atem canonically has two forms. His light skin, amnesiac ghost form and his dark skin Egyptian form. Unless you're absolutely,100% sure that the drawing is specifically Ancient Egypt era Pharaoh Atem and cannot possibly be "Yami
1. No, Yami is not a “4Kids thing”- actually calling him that as a nickname is mostly a dub thing, yes, but the concept of “Yami Yuugi” is present in all versions of Yugioh.
3. “Yami in a pharaoh costume” lmaooo what kinda reach is that? Really? Really? Y’all really look for any excuse you can take to get away with whitewashing Atem, huh? Fuck off. I’m not going to look at every fucking picture of Atem and question “Hmm, is this really Atem or is it just Yami cosplaying him for some reason?” as if that’s at all likely to be something the artist would somehow have intended. Enough. Just suck it up and draw him with the correct skin tone already. I don’t care what skin tone you give Yami, but nobody should be drawing Atem with light skin for any reason.
