I was done with the fandom when the hate blogs started popping up. Apparently now Carlos doesn't just have to be a certain magical shade of brown that no one can attain, he's also trans...?

And if you don't adhere to that, the "fandom" attacks.

So yeah I think Night Vale is just a shitty fandom. They do exist.

Like what kind? If it's something like "Hey, your Carlos is too light (Imagine: A Picture of Carlos where his skintone is roughly that of a new cardboard box) he should be like this (*picture of darker shade*)", I do agree that's nitpicky.

But if I'm looking at a picture and can't tell the difference between a bunch of white people and one of them is supposed to be Carlos, yeah, that's shitty.

I've no comment on the trans* issue...this is maybe the second time I've heard of that, didn't know it was so widespread.

Eh, I'm not sure I'd say 'OMG, HE LOOKS -RACE-' is really a legit critism for him since he's only ever described as 'dark skinned' and I've seen that used to described anything from black to 'white person with a tan'.

Sa

I apologize, someone else pointed out down thread and I guess I misremembered, but *he wasn't described as specifically dark - just dark as a whole which doesn't inherently refer to skin tone.

Who exactly is saying this, though? Is it a couple folks on tumblr who annoy you? Because I pay attention and I've literally never seen the Carlos Is Trans headcanon pop up.

You might have shitty tumblr friends.

God yes the trans!Carlos debate. Like WTF, where did that come from and why is it suddenly transphobic not to make him trans.

When a bunch of artists realized it's really hard to draw guys who aren't yaoi ukes, so let's say he's trans so we can still make him kinda ladyish.

That's my headcanon and if you disagree you're a terrible person.
