SJWs have a good point in that we automatically assume Cecil's white mainly because 'White' is considered the default in our society while all other races are considered aberrations. They also make a good point that POCs are extremely underrepresented and that's a problem.

However, the fact that some very VOCAL people went around screaming 'RACIST!' at people who drew/wrote/imagined Cecil as white sort of hurt their cause pretty badly. No matter what they were intending, that's bullying and didn't make any good change.

No, you're not racist because you HC Cecil as white. Draw and write White Cecil if that's what makes you happy. However, it's worth examining WHY so many people think of him as white. And it's never okay to shit on anyone who draws/imagines Cecil as a POC of any stripe.

(On the other hand, if you think CARLOS is white then you have a case of the Derps and need to check yourself before you wreck yourself)

When they're everywhere already, yeah, it kinda is.

uh, no. Attacking people for the way they choose to express themselves is. It's called reverse racism, just like there's reverse sexism and so on. The more we're forced to be inclusive the less we want to make an effort, so this whole shitfest is ultimately anti-productive.

And it's never okay to shit on anyone who draws/imagines Cecil as a POC of any stripe.

I agree with this sentiment, but has this actually happened anywhere? Pretty much all of the shitting on other people and/or their headcanons that I've seen has been going in the other direction.

That's the funny thing: I had too much time and spent it scrolling throught the tag for about an hour or more. The only thing I saw was "You shitty fucking racists who attack those with POC Cecil headcanons!" and not one "all you fucking assholes with POC Cecil headcanons". The only thing I saw were some "Why can't we all just get along" posts that were flooded with "you fucking priviledged, whitewashing bitch" comments.
