Sometimes I wonder if people keep posting Mercuriika just to cause controversy, it always sparks discussions and every single time it's just very tiring.
Say what you will about the tiresome discussions, but at least it reliably gets racist users to unmask themselves.

Definitely. This particular post is of middling quality at best, not to mention the misaligned eyes. It probably wouldn't have been approved if not for bias – a huge amount of genuinely good art gets buried every day, while this artist seems to have a team of babysitters.
Because it's their race, they are Japanese, this is raceswapping, the same thing when people swap a black to white.
But people try to justify it by saying "it's not racist to race swap Japanese people or these people or these people" or "they just wanna see themselves in characters they love"
When in reality they just wanna have their cake and eat it too.
I understand. I just interpreted the comment as "some raceswapping is OK, but it's worse when it's Japanese people". But I can see it just being clarification that they're normally Japanese and that it's a raceswap; all good.
