Darkwashing

Making someone’s skin darker than their actual skin tone. “Jacob has a light skin tone. Victoria edits his unedited photo to make him look darker, even though he is not tan because she was convinced that he had a tan skin. Victoria has never met Jacob irl.”
“Darkwashing is not a thing” It is a thing. Darkwashing is just as bad as whitewashing.

Darkwashing

Known as a way to show how kpop stans make kpop idols look darker in pictures because they are convinced every single photo is whitewashed. It’s often used by educated individuals that have been silenced by others that think it does not exist. It does exist, it just doesn’t have a name.
Making someone look darker than they actually are, did not have a name; but now it has one.
Remember: whitewashing is just as bad as darkwashing.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
