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!
