sometimes i draw

I think if you make money drawing anime you should care about Japanese politics and history and the Nikkei communities around you and asians in ur community and abroad in general and should care about them even more than anime. Many furries have Japanese branding and aesthetics and couch their whole identity in weird Asian pastiche and call themself an Japanese name and dont care to check how Asian diaspora around them or Asians in the fandom feel abt that

Some of you have imperial japanese flags in the bg of your ramen dragon prints and dont even know what an imperial japanese flag is or what imperial japan is

wait looking at ur old art is so much fun...

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane
