...it's a cartoon, genius. And it's not even a cartoon of her. It's the Hindu goddess Sita.
Nina Paley is white as the driven snow. She moved to India to be with a dude who then dumped her. She created 'Sita Sings the Blues' which is basically the story of her getting dumped, intercut with the story of Rama and Sita from the Ramayana. Some Indian cultural organisations in North America criticised it because she took an important story from another religion's canon and used it to go "And then Sita was sad, like I was when I got dumped!".
Personally, I don't care that much - I'm neither Indian nor Hindu, I don't get a say. But for someone whose most famous work has been described as cultural appropriation to accuse trans women of 'colonialism' because they don't share in those Totally Unique But Also Universal Women Things That All Women Have Definitely Experienced... it's real special.

Not to argue with the point about TERFs, but I'd take those cultural organizations' statements about as seriously as I take a Christian group criticizing a writer for reinterpreting an important Biblical figure for their own story or song (which happens all the time). Which is to say, not at all.

Call me a wowser if you like, but I feel like "Creator (who may or may not be Christian but was almost certainly raised surrounded by Christian culture, like most of the Western world is) uses Christian iconography in their work" is a little bit different than "Creator with no particular association with Other Religion (which is a minority religion where they come from) uses Other Religion for the aesthetic".

Then western Christian organisations would have all the right criticising all the tons of weird Christian symbolism and misuse of Christian symbols that happens in Japanese anime and video games.
