[Monster High]

[sporkly]

I don't even watch this show, but I can plainly tell she's purple.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's a common fandom thing to think purple=black. Fans of MLP swear Twilight is also black, since she's purple, lol.

[(Anonymous)]

Just dropping by to say that your icon is adorable.

[sarillia]

Why can't a character who's supposed to be like Dr. Dolittle and Jane Goodall be black?

I don't think people should attack you for thinking she's white but I don't see how that argument makes sense.

[(Anonymous)]

Right? Dr. Doolittle was even black in the Eddie Murphy version.

[elaminator]

Yea, I didn't get that either.

[morieris]

Where are you fighting about this at? I haven't seen anything in the tag about this...as you said, there are plenty of characters who are clear allusions to real life races, and while people can project any race they like upon the characters...seriously, they want Jane to be black? A girl who lived in the jungles as a child and was removed from 'conventional' lifestyle and mannerism standards until she was found by scientiests? What kind of Unfortunate Implications?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't watch the show either. But my first thought was that she was pretty...and then I noticed she was purple. And didn't care. People honestly care about monster skin color?

[(Anonymous)]

Dr. Dolittle was played by Eddie Murphy in the 1998 film adaptation. Your argument is invalid.

[(Anonymous)]

well, honestly, your reasoning that because she's a Dr. Doolittle/Jane Goodall character means she should be white is pretty racist.

so is the fact that other people's headcannons bother you so much, tbh.

[iceyred]

I'm just going to sit back and appreciate the fact that there are grown people wanking about the supposed race of a made-up monster character. It makes me appreciate the phenomena that is fandom.

[logicbutton]

"The character is supposed to be a monster mash-up of Dr. Dolittle and Jane Goodall, both white" isn't a good reason to think she's supposed to be coded white too. Anyway, Dr. Dolittle isn't always white.

[elaminator]

She's purple...IDK why that needs to equal black OR white.

God do I love her character design though. Such style!

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen this show. Was this character originally human who later became purple-skinned when she became a monster? Because that's the only circumstance where I can see that her race would be an issue. If she was always the colour she is here, then she's neither black nor white (nor any other human racial designation), she's purple.

[silvereriena]

Dunno anything about the race wank but I'm just more excited for more monster character designs.

[starphotographs]

Why not just say she's a Monster-American and leave it at that? :P

[(Anonymous)]

They are really reaching with monsters with Jane, aren't they? I can see vampires, werewolves and ghouls but a sort of witch doctor? Unless she is zombie sort of witch doctor.

[dreemyweird]

I appreciate this secret mentioning Jane Goodall <3 She's one of the favourite authors of my kid self.

And, though I'm no fan of MH, I hate SJW-ish fan groups forcing their headcanon onto everyone. So you have my sympathies :/

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly don't get why anyone would even feel the need to assign real life races to dolls who have purple, pink or blue skin and happen to be monsters of all kinds.

[(Anonymous)]

...you're telling me there's race wank over a purple monster character in a show aimed at eight year old girls? I don't know if this is hilarious, pathetic, or somewhere in between. Tumblr is truly a remarkable place.

[(Anonymous)]

Purple people are not black; they are purple.

[otakugal15]

I know right? ANY of the monsters who have pure anything skin/fur that isn't a lighter shade MUST be a PoC.

Headcanons people. Headcanons.

Like, I see Catty white as a sheet human wise, yet Catrine I can see being darker skinned. *shrugs* But if I said such a thing in the fandom (or even EAH, i mean look at the wank surrounding Cerise..), I'd be branded a racist.

[harp]

None of them are even human so the point's moot. They were born monsters, they're proud of being monsters. They don't bother with all that "normie" foolishness; they're too busy being awesome monsters.

On a side note, I'm desperately looking for other Monster High fans to talk to.

[(Anonymous)]

Isn´t Purple = Black also racist?
"Oh look at that inhuman skin color... she must be black."
