Yeah, it looks like a lot of people have this problem, I didn't know.

Definitely makes me think that slightly-too-pale Korra should be approached like it's an accident, since it sounds like there are a lot of ways for that kind of thing to really be an accident. I think people's responses are what shows whether they're really thinking Korra should be whiter, or whether they actually did just get the coloring wrong by mistake.

[kikkyo.livejournal.com]

Agreed. But then if the artist only has their monitor to judge from, they may not even know they colored it wrong to begin with. They may be looking at a work where Korra looks exactly the same shade on their screen as she does on the show, yet they're being viciously attacked and called racist. I mean, if they don't know they made a mistake because they can't see it for themselves, then they can't admit to the mistake; all they can do is apologize for how it was perceived by others and attempt to defend themselves.

In the end, I think it's something that people just should be more aware of, and not be as easy to jump to conclusions over. It's not fair to dogpile and harass a fan artist for a difference in coloring/potential racial identity that's minor enough that it could have been caused by the color calibration in that person's monitor.

[drunken-clowns.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think if you're going to try to take on Korra fanart that looks too light to you (and that looks different from how show-Korra looks on your screen) you should be aware of monitor differences being a thing that happens. Maybe let the people you're talking to about it in on that fact too. Suggest fanartists double check their Korra pictures against a show-Korra on their own screens if their Korras are turning out consistently too light. (I'm assuming that if a show-Korra and a fanart-Korra match on one screen, they'll match on another? Correct me if I'm wrong, please!)

It's sounding more and more like "dogpile first, ask questions later" is just a terrible strategy for this entirely.

Seconding this super hard.
