This hits hard

I don’t understand how this -10 votes to be honest. Like, I understand that people don’t like when other people race swap a character. But the whole point of the challenge was to redraw it. Countless people have already character swapped it. So, I don’t see a problem with a race swap when it comes to this. And if this does get replied to, let’s keep it civil please.

Racism.

Racism.

The problem ain't that simple to be summarized in one word. Well, if you boiled it alll the way down it does come as racism, but in different way that we might understand it.

First of all, there needs to be a reason why people are against portraying Japanese characters as if they're come from different race: simply put, it's because doing so inverts everything in their facial structures: thin lines becomes thick brushes, white becomes black...at that point, the similarities between the two versions are worlds apart you might say the similarities are only the name and clothing choices, which isn't that different from what we considered cosplay.

Secondly, this 'drawing japanese characters in other races' are welcomed...or tolerated to a degree, until artists start claiming that they 'fixed' some characters. Right there is the breakpoint: by claiming they're, quote unquote "fixing" the character design they stepped beyond their role as consumer and straight up assuming that they have enough authority to announce to the world that their vision of that particular character was better than the creators' (which comes from inflated egos and the need to be recognized, simply put as side effect of internet communication). Coupled with the DEI movement that's been going for several years now, people are dead tired seeing people of certain race gets pushed into roles that they don't earn.

Thirdly, and it's mostly personal opinion at this point, the Sailor Moon Redraw challenge main point is 'draw it in your own style'. It doesn't say anything about race swapping Tsukino Usagi into different ethnicity...well, unless your 'style' is drawing everything as someone from certain race. Heck, someone even got flamed online for drawing her with Chinese face and black hair...yet nobody said anything about raceswapping her into an African-American. The double standards are too strong, and it's favoring certain inclinations.

So, to boil this down: Was this racism? Definitely, but it's racism against light skinned people, not otherwise. The votes tries to stand against that, as some people here are already exhausted of seeing things repeating in certain patterns.

People often forget that Danbooru is essentially an online art gallery. People uploaded pieces of art they thought was fit to be here, and other people scruntized those pieces, and give them either upvotes or downvotes based on their preferences. Who are you to judge other people based on their own preferences? Won't it be weird that you are imposing your own standards to their decision? Say this picture has ended in -10 score; how many people are doing downvotes because they don't like it enough, how many people doing downvotes just because, how many people doing upvotes because they genuinely like the picture and how many people putting upvotes because they can't stomach the low score? Does that -10 score comes purely, or is it manipulated in some way? Who knows, I'm just a guy that's here for some quality images.

Why I got feeling there will be idiots screaming "Too much curve!" or "Too sexualized!"...

Don't worry about it, those types are too young to have even seen this masterpiece.

Hell, my mother was a 3rd wave feminist and she loved the shit out of Blackie and Airazor.

In the Japanese version, she is called Black Widow.

Nice, we are pulling Miltary aid. Dont have to worry about our boys in boots dying unnecessary. To those that want to complain. Ukraine are accepting foreign aid to join their army. By all means go ahead and sign up.

Aid ≠ deployed soldiers. There are veterans and civilian mercenaries in Ukraine but America hasn't sent soldiers officially or unofficially. The extent of the help was money, intelligence, and giving away old military surplus that the US was throwing away anyway. Information is publicly available and the war is documented by so many different cameras that if the US had combat troops in Ukraine you would've seen them but people like you ignore that in favor of what fox and similar conservative media tell you.

Yeah now you just have to worry about dying in Syria for Bibi.

Half the time I see Zelensky's name written with two y's. Which is it supposed to be, Zelensky or Zelenskyy?

I really just dislike how much of a 180 it’s been. We barely lost anything sending over older equipment and now Ukraine gets slapped in the face after sacrificing so much. Then you have people arguing this will save us all some money, but taxes have never been kind to me no matter who was in charge the past decade or so.

There's no consistent Latin alphabet transliteration but "yy" is what's on his passport and been used officially since he assumed presidency. "Zelenskyi" might be closer to how it's actually said, but one y or two are both acceptable. Really the most correct spelling is Зеленський.

Wonder if Star Trek's Grand Nagus title was based on that.

For Miyabi, ice resistant targets are part of her training.

This is beyond amazing.

Also, let the tagging begin!

I can see Inspector Gadget, Wheatley, the guy in Robots, Pixar's lamp (I think), unknown robots in Doraemon, even the robot cat & mouse in Tom&Jerry, but no Wall-e.

Well, there's E.V.E and that cleaning robot, though.

I see a Dalek and Cybermen, and those are Cyborgs, not Robots...

Well, that takes care of the annotations.

Now, should they all be tagged...?

The Smash robot is a cut so deep, it makes me about 90% certain whoever drew this is British.

Why is everyone being downvoted?

Speaking of dreams, it came to me in a dream once that orgasm and differentiation are actually the same thing. Which lead me to conclude that integration is actually cramping.

Coming up with more phrasings sounds like a fun exercise.

Rumia is so polite, always asking for the victim's consent.

That's the joke. it's the same as in Chainsaw man when the two idiots, Denji and Power thought wearing glasses made them smarter.

That comment was replying to the now deleted comment preceding it, which claimed Caelus was wrong and Stella was right.
