Re: WtNV Racial Fun

I don't really dig any blogs that call out individual people for whatever it is everyone is mad about. It just invites anonymous dogpiling on the offender, who might not even realize they've done anything wrong. I'm 8 episodes into WTNV, and I either missed the part where he's described as dark-skinned because I was doing something else in the background or I haven't gotten there yet. If I were an artist and I posted a fanart with an inadvertently inaccurate Carlos, I'd feel pretty crappy if something like this happened to me.

And some of these drawings don't even look white. Look at this one: http://carlosisnotwhite.tumblr.com/image/59029599040
How is that a depiction of him as white?

SA

I sent an anon ask (not risking that kind of hellfire on my blog) to the blog asking about the non-white white Carloses.

I think part of it is that it's really hard to color and shade dark skin without fucking up the outline or making it hard to see the character's features. I ruined a lot of stick men in grade school trying to color over a black outline with the brown marker. I had a lot of white stick men after that.

yeah what you described there-- inadvertently making Carlos' skintone inaccurate and then getting posted there and dogpiled-- happened to me. I've since resolved to stop drawing non-white characters. Not worth the ire I'd inevitably get.
