not OP and not anime but I've seen this happen a lot with Maya Fey in Ace Attorney

Cute drawings but not even remotely close to what she looks like.

Not sure how it is in the other fandoms but in the Ace Attorney fandom it's characters like Maya, Phoenix, and Trucy, who are typically headcanoned in fandom as full or mixed-race Asians, who get this treatment. Never Edgeworth or Francizka. Those two, typically headcanoned as white, still get to keep their regular skin tones no matter who draws them but the "Asian" characters get 'racebent-but-not-really'.

It's kind of particularly annoying to me since Maya and I have almost exactly the same figure (tiny, 5ft, medium-pale, flat chested, thin Asian girl) but somehow tumblr fans still felt the need to make her seem "more ethnic" for sjw points.
Like, there's the implication that people like me aren't "WOC" enough or something. Cool.

damn... yeah, that's pretty obvious. I'm guessing it's because they have black hair (as Asian character) and that somehow visually translates to black or dark skinned.

Notice how they're just ambiguously dark-skinned, without other characteristics (aside from the first fanon pic) that would look "WOC".

OP, yes this is exactly what I am talking about!! and I see it in fandoms where 99% of characters are Japanese and it's irritating as shit. beyond the offensive "not POC enough" connotation, I don't get why you'd bother drawing fanart of a character that looks absolutely nothing like their actual design. at that point, just make your own OCs.
