Quick to point the finger, but then hide behind their followers and gotta have the last word.
We’re only bigots because we didn’t agree with them. When I agreed with them back before I knew what this was about, they didn’t attack me and call me a bigot. How Ironic.
Better believe I will stand up against racism in this fandom just as I will antisemitism. But there’s standing up for victims of racism and stamping it out and then there’s bullying an artist because they drew a character in a way you don’t approve of. They didn’t bother seeing that the artist they straight up vaguely called out having drawn a very diverse and respectfully diverse cast of TLG characters. No, they only had tunnel vision for the pasty skinned Kion. This kind of bullshit is why I’m afraid to try having characters of different minorities. No matter how well you respect them with your research to design them, you’re the bad guy.
Three people total disagreed with them that whitewashing lions was racist. While I didn’t disagree with them flatly, I told them that lions technically don’t have a race and 90% of the 94 cast were white voice actors, and that this brand of finger pointing makes the fandom more toxic and takes the joy out of humanizing the lions and they hid the comments to where I couldn’t explain.
While I do agree that they’re in Africa, 2+2=4, this is making a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, systemic racism is a huge problem. But in fandom spaces, if people are drawing for the sake of having fun, don’t go picking fights. Just because they’re drawing the lions white doesn’t automatically make them white supremacists. This fear of being called racist or cultural appropriation for attempting to draw POC causes this backlash. It’s pointless finger pointing and makes the fandom worse.
Just fell down the rabbit hole that is AnimalRo.
Apparently they’re all one person that is extremely underaged, I hear they’re 9-years-old. But there’s no definitive proof that I have found that could link up to getting this dumbass account banned.
What’s the matter? Namy didn’t give you that super speshul request because you asked oh so super nicely?
Again, why I hate crotch fruit in fandom spaces. They act super cute and sweet, then turn into that vile demon that harasses you when they don’t get what they want.
If you still want to defend kids like this, piss off.
Here is the original comment that Takura left.
WhiteLupa is lying, Takura never called her a theif. Takura simply had a moment where she said “hurrdurr our characters look similar!”
That’s not calling someone a thief.
Before you go on some rant about why it’s not okay to compare characters, I already told Takura this. I told her it upsets people because other’s sometimes slyly use that sentence/phrasing to accuse others of theft and that was never her intention.
This whole situation was biased from start to finish and now it’s over. Takura’s only misstep in this situation was using the wrong sentence to express herself, WhiteLupa lied to Kash and the blog about what happened for asspats.
I’m going to ask WhiteLupa for a screenshot. If they cannot provide, then I’ll reconsider my bias.
So this salty chap is butthurt over being caught tracing clip art of all things and claiming originul the fan art donut steel. Getting defensive af as well. I chewed into this one for getting salty with rhoadie earlier today. Then I come home from errands and find that he’s blown shit the fuck up out of proportion than they should be.
Top two are from Claire, Bottom is from Yllana. He’s gotten to where he’s bawwlocking everyone for trying to talk sweetly to him and explaining things. Holy fucking shit.
Just a heads up for the fandom.
Some Rhodie drama reached my inbox this morning. Seems she’s salty over being blocked for approaching someone about their being anti Trump. I was told she was okay with others wishing death on anonymous who sent these in to me. But I think she’s hesitant to say the least.
Also I’m p sure that challenging someone’s beliefs on X topic ISN’T being respectful of their beliefs. Especially if you constantly hound them about it.
Pretty effin sure I smell some butthurt bs drama over a popular artist’s designs. Rhoadie, note me if you see this, I could use some information!
So today we had a memer post something on deviantART related to that Hunger Games generator I found out about earlier and this drama stirred the pot. They think that just because you repost it it means you’re borrowing. They also like to hold on to bargaining chips and hold your art as hostage in return for niceness over their ‘borrowing’ your art.
Oh goody, another time I was accused of wanting to murder someone.. Twice in one week! That’s a new record! I’m really living up to my role as The Agitator, Rustler of jimmies, killer of feels! Art thieves beware! Excelsior!
HERE IT IS.
The comment that explains everything behind her intensions. Clearly jealous of Eyes’ popularity.
And by her logic I trace TLK stuff too because GASP I reference for my art when drawing specific characters! OTL
