People definitely do this in the MDZS/The Untamed fandom and it's so weird. Like... everyone in it is Chinese already, but that's not POC enough? Okaaaaay.

Chinese people in China are POC?

(Anonymous) 2024-01-09 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
So your argument is black people also stop being POC once they get to Africa?

(Anonymous) 2024-01-09 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. Racial categories are constructed, POC is a catchall for non-European ("non-white") people in European-dominated ("white-dominated") cultures. It doesn't make sense outside of that context, as it's specifically an "othering" term.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-09 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
But the issue with this is exactly that the whole skin-darkening because the character isn't POC enough is a massively US centric thing western fans project on fandoms that don't work with the same racial categories that the US does. Which means they keep racebending characters to be "more POC" when they would already be POC by US standards, just not dark enough to be woke.

Don't bring Europe into this when this is an entirely US made problem that got widespread through the internet.

NAYRT

Dunno. I can imagine the leadership of The British Museum has contributed to a social climate that allowed this attitude to flourish.

Damn you, Al Gore, for inventing the Internet! Colorism didn't exist in the world until then!

As we all know racism doesn't exist in Europe.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-09 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH... oh, you're serious....

Specially in certain characters, like... Ok, MingJue or Jiang Cheng might have a light tan for training under the sun, but Huaisang? Mr "I'll stay in my room drawing 24/7 while deprived of vitamin d"?.
