War's end.

// Alright guys, real talk. And this one’s important, not just me complaining about some random bullshit that doesn’t matter to anyone.

Let’s talk about white supremacy.

Yes. That’s the word I’m using, and I’m not using it ironically. White supremacy is the political ideology that perpetuates the social, political, and industrial domination of the white people over the other ethnicities. It’s something undeniable in the history of the world, and that permeates both our own culture, and the cultures of those that are dominated.

Let me repeat that. It permeates the culture of those that are are not the dominating white race. And what does that mean? The corporate world gives us some hints. There’s a multi-million dollar industry out there producing skin lightening creams and treatments, particularly in Eastern Asia. I’ll remind you here that industry has nothing to do with racism - if a product is unwanted or unused, it won’t sell. The reason that these products see so much use is not because it’s being forced on a culture. It’s because this culture itself is sees something other than their natural skin pigmentation as ideal. The same is true for hair colors and curliness. Of heights and body types. Yes, and even of facial features. If you don’t believe you I’ll find you the products that show this is a problem.

This is not racism.

Everyone likes throwing racism at each others faces. Blowing the whistle and pretending we can pin this problem on individuals instead of considering the massive intercultural problem it is. Calling people out for “depicting racist ideals.” Becoming defensive and approaching the thoughts of others with hate.

That is the perpetuation of racism. 

When you do this, no matter how good your intentions are, you are making the problem worse. These tactics are closer to racism than the behaviors they degrade. I feel like at some level, people ought to be able to understand this in this day and age. People are individuals. They have their own thoughts, ideas, personalities, histories, and values. And unfortunately, the history of our world has made white supremacy a very real part of every individual’s upbringing for the vast majority of the world. When you ignore everything that has gone into their upbringing, everything that they’ve seen and experienced, the humanity of their person to call them and their ideas “racist,” you are completely missing the point of the discussion that needs to be had.

Cultural whitewashing is a problem that exists in the world. 

And it won’t go away by screaming at each other. We need to talk to people about the beliefs that they have and the way they interpret the world around them. We need to have the agency to be honest with ourselves and use our voices to speak about our own experiences. We need to be able to tell people our misconceptions without fear, so that we can learn and overcome them. And getting angry or yelling “racism” silences all of that. It’s a very easy psychological way to prevent them from ever overcoming the cultural influences in their lives, because even mentioning that they exist labels them as evil. This denies people their own humanity in a way that will never change their outlook on the world - is that so different from racism itself? 

So, I’ve been in a really creative mood. Why? I couldn’t tell ya. Anyways, I thought it would be a great idea to promote creativity and some OC love into the community. So, I’m calling on my fellow artists and writers to help me out with this and even take upon the challenge yourself! 

The challenge is simple, Every day you come up with a League OC. They could be a champion, they could be an average person! The sky is the limit here! Draw a quick sketch or write a quick bio! Anything! The goal of this challenge is to get those creative juices flowing and to also give some appreciation to OCs. Who knows? Maybe you’ll like a character so much you’ll write more about them! (I know I’ve done that many times.) Maybe even a blog? Who knows! Nothing is more cool as a writer or artist to see a idea flourish! 

So what are the rules?

Rule 1: If you already have an OC for a certain faction/area, congrats! You’re ahead of the game as they count! 

Rule 2: This one a bit obvious, but don’t bash others ideas. Seriously, respect them and the person behind it. 

Rule 3-ish: It is nice, but not required, to write at least a paragraph about your creations. Wanna write something really long? Go for it! Wanna write a short story for them explaining their character! Awesome! Wanna make abilities/art for them? Do it! 

Rule 4: HAVE FUN. 

So now that is out of the way, let’s go for the days.
