WHAT. WHAT. WHAT. WHAT.

drawing china w slit eyes -> defense: "be proud of your eyes" -> "youre affiliated with the ccp" ??

complaining about china not having slit eyes in stylized anime -> defense: "im half asian actually" -> "sorry im russian we complain a lot" ??

drawing china with eurocentric features not common in east asians, suggest character is a fresh take on china in the fandom -> defense: "not all east asians look the same, you're being patronizing" "focus on bigger racism issues" "youre attacking me in bad faith" ??

so tired of being gaslighted constantly like "no actually YOURE the one being defensive and weird etcetc" like idk how you think you can explain east asian features and defend your choices TO EAST ASIANS instead of simply accepting you made a mistake(and that's ok) and correcting it?

like idk this is what I mean when I say people would sooner kill themselves than actually listen to pocs regarding the depiction and representation of their people...i've seen this time and time again in this fandom where people blame the poc for being defensive because god forbid we try to tell people how to depict our people. we're always entitled no matter what it seems.

no wonder pocs up and leave this fandom leaving non poc to make terrible depictions/interpretations of poc countries and remain uncorrected.

"hey please be sensitive about this" "hey this is a little inaccurate to history and delegitimizes the history and culture of X country" "hey please don't draw X character like that it leans into problematic territory and isn't the best depiction of X"

"youre being defensive" "youre dogpiling me" "the fandom is like this because of you" "this is the fetishizing countries fandom" "youre right but I'm allowed to make this insensitive joke because" "youre always looking to fight someone aren't you" "let people have fun"
