I don't know what fandom you're in, and I'm kind of curious, because to be honest this sounds a lot in your head.

While there are some people that do it for clout, most people I see that draw white characters of other races do it because they want to see representation of themselves or just see how it looks. There are some that do it for clout, sure, but so many of those that do it are of the former group and get insanely gross and racist reactions.

And nowhere do I see people mad that someone drew a white character white.

Harry Potter is big for this I think.

[(Anonymous)]

You mean the latter group, surely?

[(Anonymous)]

The former. The group that wants to see themselves represented

[(Anonymous)]

These days, you get arrested and thrown in jail if you draw a white character white, don't you?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes.

Anon above mentioned harry potter...I've seen discourse of this type in several book fandoms actually, mostly the kind set in European settings where the characters are mostly very obviously part of the dominant culture and/or are described with features that are common to European ethnic groups but rare in other ethnic groups but the author didn't specifically say "and this character had pasty white skin"

All of this, plus: People who racebend white casts do for the most part also support things with diverse casts and things with nonwhite creators. You really don't have to be either/or about it.

Staying with Harry Potter, I have definitely seen people get very rude messages for not drawing Harry or James as Indian.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? God almighty.

[(Anonymous)]

I know they do this because Harry is the main character and they want to see an Indian main character. (Since the Patil sisters and okay, all the minor Indian, Chinese, and well, one black character mentioned ((Zabini)) weren't done well.) I'm just surprised they don't ALSO racebend Goyle to Indian.

Since... Goyle is an Indian surname.

Whereas Potter is English, German, or Dutch.

Or is it because Goyle as a secondary antagonist and that doesn't fit the narrative. Oh my.
