OP

[(Anonymous)]

If people occasionally did some fanart of one character being another race, that's cool. I've seen some people do it, and it's neat.

But it's not occasional. IT'S CONSTANT. There's a few artists who ALWAYS draw Marco/Bertholdt/Ymir/etc as very tan or brown-skinned. That's like gender-swapping a character but always drawing them that way, even when drawing canon scenes.

da

I'm not seeing the problem? So what if they're constantly drawing them as having tan skin or dark skin. As long as they aren't forcing people to accept it as canon and are just having fun, I don't see the problem. Same for constantly drawing genderswaps.

Because like I said in the secret, some of the most commonly recoloured characters are actually antagonists from outside said white-dominated society, so the brown 'outsiders' are trying to kill the innocent white people. You don't see how that actually ADDS some skeevy racism to the setting?

Not to mention that the most of the favorite characters that are getting recolored are usually only chosen because they have a SLIGHTLY tanner skin tone in the canon or they have freckles. Apparently that means that you're brown. If it was just redrawing characters for fun why don't they race-change the blonde and blue-eyed characters?

(FFS one of the characters seems to only be picked because he has his hair in a short buzz cut. Guess if you have a steretypical 'black' hairstyle that means you're black now!)

That's like, as I said, gender-swapping characters permenantly in your works but only picking the 'girly' guys or 'macho' female characters. If you want to add diversity for it's own sake or just for fun then, y'know, put some damn thought into it instead of always choosing characters with arbitrary 'brown' qualifiers but leaving the whitiest people untouched.
