Something that only dumb people think exist, basically a hallucination.

Blackwashing

blackwashing is not harmful, or has a harmful history. if you go into more research about it, in fact it doesn't exist. for starters, " fixing " art that are harmless headcanons is also racist.
Person 1: Why did they make ( fictional character ) black in this picture?

Person 2: Its a head canon
Person 1: Its blackwashing though!
like any decent person: blackwashing doesn't exist. it doesn't have a harmful history behind it, its not washing anyone of color

if you think blackwashing exists, try looking up on wiki how not to be a social reject, because it doesn't exist. your either racist or uneducated.

Blackwashing

blackwashing isn't a term and you shouldn't call someone making a white character black 'blackwashing'
my reason: black characters don't get much representation in media, like think of black characters, now think of white characters, see you have thought of a lot of white characters. though it is not okay to change a real persons skin color and call it representation.
person 1: "ugh they blackwashed my favorite character"
person 2: *explains to them that its ok to make a characters skin color darker and that blackwashing isnt a real term*
person 1: *understands and gets it*
and the conversation is over

Blackwashing

A word that doesn’t even exist in the english language, and something that was made up and claimed to be racist.
‘Blackwashing’ was originally supposed to be used as representation, and people would take characters and change their skintone and hair style. A lot of people have claimed it as racist because you were ‘changing’ their race, when, no.. they weren’t, they were adding, not taking away. Sometimes people forget blasians exist…
Also, these same people who were doing this, switched up immediately when people were hating on it and it’s fucking annoying when you dumbasses do that.
You’re blackwashing that character! That’s racist!”

Blackwash

When an established character is turned black for no reason other than to diversify the cast. It is the opposite of whitewashing, and is normally not ever complained about
Person 1: Why did they have to blackwash Domino in the new Deadpool movie?
Person 2: What, are you saying she can't be black? You're so racist for not giving black actresses a chance
Person 1: it's not about being racist, it's about being accurate, jackass
