Hello, me again. I am sorry that you think my opinions on the ethnicities of those characters is racist, and I will try to speak better of the subject in the future. But I have to respectfully ask, will you please remove my ask from your blog? And at the same time, if you have issues with how I speak of these characters, speak to me privately and I will do my best to learn. But I responded privately to your message, and posting it publicly, without my permission, is very rude.
hi. took me a while to gather my thoughts! (TL;DR at the bottom)
I donât think your opinions are racist. they are racist. you make a boatload of racist assumptions, equate nationality with ethnicity, and brush away canon evidence to the Animorphsâ ethnicities to support whitewashing. and based on how youâve worded this ask, you donât think itâs racist.
and itâs nice that youâre open to âlearningâ, but I honestly didnât have the energy or patience to hold your hand through all this, and I wouldnât even know where to begin. especially since you donât seem to think itâs racist. I just⌠donât know what to do here
and no, I donât think Iâll take it down. I was rude by posting the pile of racist shit that arrived in my inbox this morning, Iâll give you that. you were rude by posting racist and a lot of intensely disgusting and fatphobic comments into the Animorphs tag (and yeah, they were fatphobic) in reaction to someoneâs Animorphs headcanons and art. and you used another artistâs work to do so! jfc, thatâs so rude!
and then you deflect the blame away from yourself with faux apologies, which is also rude. when I confront you about it, you leave me with a racist pile of assumptions and anti-Latin@ shit, which is also rude. and when I post that, you come into my askbox and expect me to be nice and teach you things, and you donât even own up to what youâve done. hell no. there are resources available to you, and if you canât be bothered to search up why people are upset, then why should I bother. I wonât take it down.
also, donât use someoneâs fanart of characters to hold up your BS?? why would you do that. like seriously. thatâs fucked up.
stating that fat peopleâs very existence makes you uncomfortable is fatphobic
complaining that making your fave character fat b/c u canât relate anymore makes you uncomfortable is fatphobic
erasing charactersâ canon ethnicities is racist as fuck
I focused on Marco because that affected me the most, with you trying to whitewash one of the few Latin@ characters that I have by claiming that his features make him not Latino. but the point above also goes for Rachel and Jake
you deleted everything and tried to cover it up instead of owning up to it
TL;DR youâve been horribly racist and phobic and rude, used someone elseâs art to carry those messages, and have deflected blame onto the people affected, so yeah Iâm not going to cater to you, sorry :/
