The act of changing art that includes white, Asian, Hispanic, etc. Characters into Black or dark skinned, for the purpose of “representation”.
Twitter really is something, so much hate, especially to artists. A lot of “art fixers” really enjoy BlackWashing, it’s a lot more common than you’d think.

Blackwashing is when a person changes a character's previous race to black. Blackwashing is just as bad as whitewashing, and it's a fact. The only acceptable reason is if you do that solely for fun. In terms of representation, it sucks ass because creating a black original character is not that hard and absolutely not problematic, unlike looking down at a specific race and deciding the character is better when it's black.
(for representation)
A: I fixed this art and now the character looks better.
B: Dude that's just straight up blackwashing.
A:"Blackwashing'' doesn't exist, you're just racist that you won't accept POC representation!
A: Besides, this character looks better as black.
B:And that's the problem, you just think a certain race is superior than others when really everyone should be equal. This ''representation'' doesn't help with anything but offend those who have the same race as the character's original design.
(for fun)
A: Hi check out my drawing of this character as a black person, i think they look neat.
B: Oh, looks cool but why did you change their race?
A: It's nothing really, i just thought of drawing this for fun.
B: Alright, besides that's a nice drawing!
A: Thank you!

Taking a character from a movie, TV show, etc of a certain ethnicity and replacing them with a black representation of that original character

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.

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...

An attempt to make white history irrelevant and to make oppressed people look as they achieved something.
Ex: why is the green knight a Muslim?
“Well you see here a lot of minority cry how they aren’t involved and never will be so we play pretend so everyone feel good”.
Greatest example is the black Spider-Man. Spider-Man is prodominatly white so when they realized he was a appealing to the African American community they made a black version of him. People will fight tooth and nail to “NO HES A DIFFERENT VERSION” but was really only created to make people feel as they accomplished a racial feat. In reality big corporations just ponder to you cause you all think the same and pay for anything that converts to your cults.

STARFIRE — she was supposed to be DC last hope at having a baddie but they got all cultural and hired a Rachet. We all know that was wrong and she could never be starfire.
“Did you guys see the new teen titans ??
“No they started Blackwashing it so we silently boycotted.”
Also another movie that went into the dumpster fire cause of this was fantastic four lol who actually watched that..& it’s cause they tried making a cool ass Jonny blaze into a race baiting loser. Just saying
