Black-washing is not a thing nor is interpreting characters as black isn’t akin to whitewashing. A Black person having fun and making their own interpretation of a piece of media after being given little representation doesn’t hurt you. It’s not political either.
Once again....repost bc typo \\o/
Anyways, when growing up, the most common positive rep I remember seeing regularly was being the Black Best Friend. In anime? Forget about it. Either they were non-existent or they unfortunately had a problematic design or personality.
Are y’all really surprised when we grow up and take advantage of having the ability to reimagine characters looking like us?
Dang even after the repost.....I traded a typo for a grammar mistake......
