Reminds me of what's happening in the Genshin Impact fandom. A few characters actually have slightly tanned/darker skin but a certain group of fandom slacktivists have decided they are black and hunt down anyone who draws them even slightly too light for their tastes.

Like, they could criticise the game all they want for not actually not having ANY black characters (because quite honestly, it doesn't really. Xinyan is a tanned faux-Chinese person likely based on an actual Chinese minority and Kaeya might be ambiguously brown but "he's black" seems like a bit of a stretch) but no. Instead they try to police anyone drawing fanart and usually with exactly zero clue about things like lighting or colour theory etc.

No kidding, my FYP of TikTok (lol TikTok) is always an artist showing that they used a real reference from Kaeya to show they didn't white-wash him and you can notice they recorded it from their cellphone, the background was white or anything else to show the color difference and vultures still will claim "is white-washing a black character!" when Kaeya is not even black but tanned.
