Probably. Though why exactly would you need help finding out about characters? And why would anybody know your race to begin with if you just run the blog and don't participate?

This secret is confusing more then anything.

But yeah, you already figured out some aspects of the internet. Just train your google fu.

OP
In the first post I declared my race in a friendly little disclaimer, partly in case I picked up a few followers and then somebody found out I was white and got upset or something. I just didn't want there to be a chance for that to be A Thing. The reasoning behind the blog is: a good friend of mine is a panelist for a major black otaku panel at a big Canadian con, so I was lurking around her FB group and I could see people trading information on black anime characters all the time. Just seemed like something people were looking for - so now I do these little daily write-ups with a few screenshots, tagged by gender and stuff. It's meant to be somewhat celebratory, and draw attention to lesser-known characters and anime, and I'm hoping to build it into this really useful sort of lookup thing for anybody with darker skin who wants to play a character with a similar skintone.

You may have guessed that I'm the anon from a few months ago who caused a bit of a shitstorm with her post about selfishly wishing blackface wasn't a thing, so that I could cosplay any character with impunity and the greatest accuracy I could physically hope to achieve. I get to research all sorts of interesting characters for this tumblr. :)

As someone in the cosplay circuit, it's not at all uncommon to see people asking for recommendations of darker-skinned characters to cosplay who aren't the same ones that are done over and over again (Anthy, Storm, Katara, etc.). I can see why a central source for something like that could be a useful resource for POC cosplayers who would like to cosplay a character with a similar skintone to theirs.

Every agent needs a hobby. For Morgan, it's WoW, and due to the time constraints of his job, his avatar is a girl. He tells himself it's okay, for the benefits. It's just a game after all, there's a sucker born every minute and he'll gladly accept their offers. That he has cybersex with one of the other girls in his guild is also okay, it's just a game. That he's actually developing a crush on her online and can never tell her he's not in fact a lesbian called LaFeeMorgana is perhaps not so okay, but he has too much on his plate to feel more than ever so slightly guilty. Until the day he sneaks a peek at Reid's laptop screen and sees he's logged in as his cybersex partner, FairyReedPipe.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS FIC?
