I feel this, I love Bismuth as a character (before she got defanged at least) but her design is awful...did nobody think that would be an unfortunate design choice for a character who’s very clearly black-coded

What's unfortunate about it?

I'm genuinely curious which aspects of her design you think have bad implications? Like, I can see how she *is* black-coded, with the rainbow psuedo-dreadlocks and the VA, but I don't see why it's bad for a black coded character to be muscular or have the twisty rainbow stone or wear a smith's apron. I can maybe see someone being upset that a black-coded female-coded character is so butch, because of defeminizing black women....but butch black girls exist, and Garnet is also coded black, and she has Hartman Hips for days. Maybe there's something about her being ~angry and dangerous~ but like...her anger is justified & empathized with, and she learns and adapts faster than a lot of characters on the show, and also lots of characters on the show are more dangerous than she is. And even that is a character writing decision more than a design one.

Am I being totally oblivious and dumb and missing something huge?
