Haha, no. It wouldn't star Steven if it were.

It does suck, tho.

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't he a fat white kid with a black girlfriend? That's pretty Tumblrish.

[(Anonymous)]

He's a white male cishet so that invalidates everything.

[vethica]

She's black? I thought she was Indian.

[(Anonymous)]

she's definitely indian

[(Anonymous)]

Didn't you know, all recognizable POC are black.

[(Anonymous)]

This just in: interracial relationships are an urban myth made up by Tumblr.

[(Anonymous)]

There's this ship in my fandom. Tumblr decided that it wasn't progressive enough (even if it's a lesbian pairing and the only canon pairing in the story), so they turned one of the girls into a poc when she's white in canon. Now if you ever draw her white, you'll have tons of people attacking you and accusing you of racism.

Tumblr didn't invent interracial relationships, but they love to force them.

[(Anonymous)]

da

What fandom? Need to know so I can stay the fuck away from it.

[(Anonymous)]

Ymir/Christa, Attack on Titan.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks. Attack on Titan was already on my list of fandoms to stay the fuck away from. Near the top.

[insanenoodlyguy]

Considering at this point there's only one non-white person left in the entire world, you'd think they'd not bother to get into it in the first place.

[(Anonymous)]

But I need to get my shitty vore anime fix!

[(Anonymous)]

They do the same to JeanMarco, with the latter usually being the one POC-fied.

[vethica]

Ymir/Christa?

[(Anonymous)]

That was my thought too.

[ketita]

lol yeah I was gonna guess this -_-

I don't hang around that section of the fandom, so I didn't know it'd gotten that bad, though.

[(Anonymous)]

It's one thing to make canonically white characters out to be POC* (and it's offensive with respect to SNK because it's white people telling a Japanese author he's wrong about his own characters), but to say you don't like POC characters/interracial relationships being depicted in canons, due to a kneejerk reaction against a fringe group of fandom weirdos on Tumblr, is pretty fucked up.

*I actually have no idea why you're tying the Ymir thing to being specifically Ymir/Christa related? Like, I'm pretty sure people would do that to Ymir even if Ymir/Christa weren't a canon ship.

[(Anonymous)]

But I didn't say that. There are several interracial couples that I ship.

[(Anonymous)]

Look, throughout this thread you're ascribing "Tumblrishness" as a negative attribute, describing all of these traits of the cartoon (presence of POC, fat characters, interracial relationships) as Tumblr-pandering attributes, then weaseling out of saying you consider those as negative attributes by saying "I just said it panders to Tumblr". It's deeply intellectually dishonest.

[(Anonymous)]

and it's offensive with respect to SNK because it's white people telling a Japanese author he's wrong about his own characters

You're kidding, right? You sound more like you belong on F!S's idea of tumblr than most real people on tumblr.

It's dumb for anyone to tell an author they're wrong about their own characters because authors are the ones in charge of their characters, offensive as they may end up being, but authors telling a story set in another part of the world from where they live (with SNK, a Japanese author setting it either somewhere around Germany or an obvious AU equivalent) are still going to get things wrong, and people who know better are going to point it out. For your further consideration, Japanese people in Japan aren't an oppressed minority, and you can't claim everyone making Ymir a POC is white just because it makes your argument convenient.

[(Anonymous)]

"Know better"? Do you realize how full of yourself you sound? And yes, I'm going to stick to my guns on the fact that the people who racebend SnK characters are being offensive and doing it because they're arrogant know-it-alls who think they can tell a Japanese author what's "more progressive" for his own damn canon. Case in point: The fact that people keep racebending THE ONE CANON JAPANESE CHARACTER. (http://faun-songs.tumblr.com/tagged/mikasa%20ackerman)
