“sToP bLacKwAShINg ChARActERS >:(((“

Here’s why I’m so sick of this statement especially on platforms on Tiktok and Twittter.

When it comes to dark skin characters in media, there is a extreme lack of representation.

When it comes to editing characters i.e. My Hero Academia, Haikyuu, Danganronpa, Genshin Impact etc. there is nothing wrong with darkening their skin, why? It doesn’t impact their heritage.

Many assume that when it comes to people with dark skin, they are black. While there are many black people with darker skin, dark skin present in so many other cultures including South Asian, Southeast Asian, Indigenous Groups, Middle Eastern Groups, etc.

The reason so many people believe these edits are wrong is because of biases. They are uncomfortable seeing characters they like with dark skin because in our society we have made it that dark skin is undesirable and a threat.

I mean in real life people are actively trying to bleach their skin to appear lighter, people will lighter skin have higher chances of being hired, and those with lighter skin are deemed beautiful.

I will say that claiming a character is “better” with dark skin or editing fanart so it has dark skin, isn’t okay and I don’t agree when people do this.

At the end of the day though, sending barrages of hate to these people does nothing but show off your colorism.

Now you may ask “well why can you blackwash but I can’t whitewash a character”

Whitewashing goes into colorism. Many people who do this are perceiving characters as better looking with lighter skin and more Eurocentric features; again confirming their biases. This isn’t nearly as called out, because of our societal love for Eurocentric features. We see this with Miruko (BNHA), Nessa (Pokémon Sword and Shield), etc.

I’m so tired of people villainizing black and dark skin people in fandoms.

"I'm gonna miss you" "You're being so dramatic" You said rolling your eyes

Eren chuckles "I'm not, this is the first time that we're gonna be separated since, we met each other'”

"Have we spent every day together?" "Pretty much yeah"

"You liar"

"Okay fine not everyday, but we never have been separated for two whole weeks"

"Oh wow" You say "Finally getting peace"

He smiles "You're gonna miss me" "We both know that, you're gonna miss me more"

"Yeah, you right. I am" Eren admitted

You cannot tell me eren wouldn’t do this😭💀

Eren and Y/n’s dynamic in Your Eyes Tell

This is how i see Y/n and Eren’s dynamic in PARADI$E (the book is not published)

Pairing: Eren Yeager X Reader

Warning : mentions of shooting, killing, basically Y/n threatening to kill Eren

Words :240

Eren walks out of the bathroom, his body is covered in stray water droplets, face covered with a white towel

“You don’t dry yourself up before leaving the bathroom?” You asked, judging him

He pulled the towel of his face “I do, but I didn’t expect someone to be in my room”

“Yeah whatever, cover up” You say eyes still on his face

He smirks “I will but can you confirm if it’s big?”

You narrow your eyes at him “I will kill you”

“You just gotta look and tell me the truth”

“I will cut your dick off” “Okay let’s not do that”

You roll your eyes

“Are you here to fuck” He suddenly asked

“What, no. How do you come up with?”

“You might’ve fallen in love with me, the other day and stalked me” He said

“I will blow your head off” “In what way?”

“What do you mean ‘In what way’ there is only one way” You say annoyed

“Not really, you can give me head tho” “ew”

“Ew?!” Eren repeated you words clearly offended by it

“Yeah, ew” You confirm

“I’m hot, what are you on?” “Sure, if you wanna believe that” You mumble

“We both know that I’m hot, regardless of your delusional opinion” he says “actually, we should fuck since, you are hot, I’m hot, makes perfect sense”

“I will stab you to dead” You threaten him

“Shit sounds painful, let’s not do that” He said
