Blackwashing

An example of hypocrisy in modern SJW thought, whereby the moral case made by SJWs against historical whitewashing, is somehow negated when it comes to erasing whiteness from white scripted characters. In a twisted try at remediating past racial injustices against blackness, by plying new ones against "whiteness."

This is done by turning white characters into black characters. Typically the gospelers of such action, shriek madly against the wrongness of such a switch, if it is applied in the form of white washing. But have no problem, indeed think it virtuous in the form of blackwashing.

Example-Turning Mary Jane Watson, "MJ," from the beautiful fair redheaded maiden in the older Spiderman movies, into the vaguely mixed race "MJ" in the new Spiderman movies.
(Blackwashing) In the 2021 release of Dune, fans of the Dune books were pissed but not shocked, to see Paul's love interest Chani, who was depicted by white actress Sean Young in David Lynch's Dune, put forth as a vaguely brown woman, in the form of Zendaya.

blackwashing

The opposite of whitewashing; pretending or otherwise revising the historical fact of a scenario in such a way as to demonize all involved parties and lionize any affected persons in a way that contradicts the reality of the situation.
Many people who want to have "Columbus Day" changed to "Native American Day" are guilty of blackwashing: they pretend Native Americans never lifted a finger against Europeans.

Blackwashing

The opposite of whitewashing but still have the same concept. trying to change a person color just to inflict insult,hate,provoke,spite,envy and impose their ideology on another individual.

While this term is common in the western world, it does not exist in Asian countries due to the different culture and history.

Blackwashing can also be seen mostly in social media where the so called artists try to "fix art" into their westernized 'ideal art' despite the fact it looks normal.
popo: lea is a victim of this Blackwashing art, some trying to changed his style into westernized artsy

liko: lea is asian, its common sense she will draw asian art style embedded with asian culture
popo: yup, those people are literally being racist without even knowing.

liko: everyone should love each other arts and inspire not insult and inflict hatred.
popo: wished everyone is like that be respectable...
