I hate race washing
Its pointless and serves no value
We do not need to see characters with our skin color to relate to them. I like fluttershy and relate to her but I'm not a pink haired pony.
It is not "representation" and I hate how normalized it is or how if you say anything negative about you're immediately called racist.
representation is important! But not when it's recycled and only made for rage baiting or forced representation
I always hear "Well black people don't get representation" and honestly, its not an excuse to mindless just change the race of a character, especially already established ones.
Ofc theres exceptions like Miled morales, but with him he isnt just an established character turned black but has his own backstory, family, and earth. He isnt just "Peter parker turned black" But his own separate character (and not really a racewashed character but it's an example)
Truly many other black folk think the same as me, but are too afraid to say anything due to backlash but I want to make it known it is not as well accepted or appreciated as people think it is...
I know I will get attacked for my "controversial"opinion but hopefully some people would understand.
Ask yourself, Is black people just representation to you? Â Is that all we are?
