Took Kanji's dancing game sprite and redeisgned him to look like his beta art in the artbook.
I can't believe we almost. Almost. Okay maybe not almost-- but in a different reality, kanji coulda been mixed. I'm sure being the tallest, darkest, textured hair, 'questioning' teen in Inaba would sure give you a dungeon. The run ins with the police would have made sense. When I RP Kanji, I RP beta art Kanji.
This is what I imagine beta Kanji's like today. I've got so used to Kanji with Eyebrows that when I look at the regular design I'm like '...huh?'

idk why people get offended about character’s skin colors
like you never say anything about obviously whitewashing but when your favorite white/pale skinned character is black? oh yeah you’re racist.
and I also never really understood why it’s racist? you aren’t saying that white/pale skinned characters are bad and you aren’t using racist characteristics/attributes in the black version. so what’s the problem? and even if there is a problem, it’s just a fictional character!
There's also the famous "well, there were a small number of Black Vikings, therefore it makes perfect sense for Vikings Valhalla turn an actual historical white male chieftan into a black woman."
The second part is implied, because not a single person in that article defending the racebending actually addressed that complaint. I had to go to Screenrant for the canon explanation of "the real guy got killed, and his wife took over".
And they immediately admitted there was no evidence of any female Viking ruler, ever, but, but, there COULD have been!
This incident was held up by some people as an example of progressives living down to memes about racebending.
Bridgerton had to invent an entire alternate history to explain black British nobility.
Of course, since musicians apparently play orchestral covers of Taylor Swift and Billy Eilish, I gotta wonder why they even bothered.
Funny thing is, when I Googled for controversy, I kept finding criticism from the left, not the right.
I also remember the times MedievalPOC said it made perfect sense to for a random African trader to head hundreds of miles out of his way, over a mountain range, to a random corner of medival Europe (that is still extremely white today) to appear in Kingdom Come:Deliverance.
Just to be clear; anti-woke people have been wrong about diversity. Both in fiction and IRL. Up to the point of riots and terrorism.
I have argued with them.
But I think it sure is curious that neither OOP nor any of the people in the reblogs had a single actual example. Heck, none of them even named a specific work.
And of course they never admitted their enemies could be right about anything, ever.
"The Odyssey is fictional so we can have Africans portraying Ancient Greeks" "Moana is a fictional story based on Polynesian culture so we must have accurate casting"
( seriously the hypocrisy of going oh you can imagine cyclops in odyssey but not black people ignoring that it takes place in ancient greece
then those same people going on accurate casting pisses me off
I would love to see their reactions t o someone making a moanna story with white people invovled as mc's
Whatever else you think about Nolan's Odyssey, it cannot be denied that the same people defending his "diverse" casting choices would go berserk if the Moana remake featured a Caucasian actor in a major role. This is not even a question. It is another example - a perfect one, really - that this manner of "diversity" does not mean & has never meant actual diversity, i.e. variety. It just means replacing White people.
The fact Moana used cultural consultants and a fully Polynesian cast and Hollywood bragged about it and required it for the film is a stark contrast to The Odyssey. There's zero Greek actors in leads, they say it "represents the world," and in doing so it's an intentional erasure of culture. Then they'll call you names for noticing they're doing it. It's intentional and it's about destroying western and white civilization.
Paul Tassi doesn't get it, and Asmongold is 100% correct here. Tassi is just purposefully misunderstanding the problem as just the "trans actor". The problem here is the total lack of any dissenting opinions on the movie. When there is this level of suspicious lockstep for a movie, it looks like manufactured opinion rather than something genuine. There are no movies where everyone universally likes them. The same can be said for any movie that gets universal hatred as well. The other obvious thing is that the critics are not ideologically diverse. They center on the left-wing side of the progressive agenda, and when the movie pushes those priors, they tend to move as a cult and universally praise it. If it goes against it, they universally hate it. This has happened dozens of times over the past decade, and we are just seeing the usual pattern manifesting itself once again. If the viewer scores across various social media after the movie release end up being significantly lower, it'll be another point of evidence that critics cannot be trusted.
My biggest issue with the movie is that the same people praising the Odyssey for its "diverse" cast would be screaming bloody murder for any non-European movie or character.
☏ - never going to attempt to look for eddsworld fanart again because why the hell is this fandom so racist?? i'm trying to find tomtord art and all i see are these racebenders drawing tom as a person of color when he's clearly white like all the other characters. i'm telling you it's not that hard to make an oc if you want a poc in eddsworld.
☏ - another thing i've noticed is that it's literally only tom, they only racebend tom, but i also notice a lot of tom mischaracterization so that might be it..
☏ - i've also noticed that a lot of eddsworld artists have "proship dni" in their bio but then ship tomtord...
edit:
☏ - for starters, tomtord can be a proship due to it being abusive in some interpretations, please do your research before sending me death threats in my asks
☏ - plus, it doesn't matter what tomska said. "oh but he's ok with tom being drawn as black!"...that doesn't change the fact that you're only using that as an excuse to change the skin color of a white man, as tom is white in canon
edit 2:
☏ - we don't need "representation" of poc in every piece of media. representation should be natural and treated normally instead of forcing "representation" onto a white character.
☏ - my argument here really goes for any fandom. if you racebend or support racebending in any context: please block me, i am not a racist and would not like to be friends with them

[ dracula’s daughter remake ] ➼ requested by anonymous
Invincible is a really good example of "if you're going to change your characters to make them poc, you need to understand stereotypes associated with Black/Asian/etc characters," because in the original comic pretty much everyone is white and once you figure that out, you also figure out that no one bothered to take into account that they weren't anymore.
Christopher Nolan DOESN'T Believe This Casting Either And The Oscar Math Explains WHY!
the whole but helen of troy is a fictional character is a dumb argument it doesn't matter helen is a her ethnicity is rooted in the ancient Mediterranean world of the Mycenaean Greeks
they would complain about a fictional black person being racebent to be white but then they do this and no the but it makes the cast more diverse argument is dumb
