This isn't about me not liking a certain ship or not seeing the chemistry between two characters its about how its Genuinely concerning that yall cannot view affection and love and care and devotion in any way besides romantic or sexual. this also has a negative affect on the real actual world, as proven by the dozens and dozens of people on my last post about this saying that seeing this being done to fictional siblings made them uncomfortable expressing affection and sharing intamacy w their siblings in Real Life which is honestly one of the most heart breaking things I've ever heard no one can portray siblings cuddling or kissing each other on the cheek or sleeping in the same bed because it will Automatically be perceived as romantic or sexual. N I've talked about this before but romanticizing and sexualizing all expressions of love and affection also results in fictional sibling relationships being stripped of their intimacy. this mindset seeps into the real actual world n has a negative affect in the real actual world n has yall shipping real life people because you don't understand how friends work and think that two people liking each other and having fun together must mean they're In Love I'm so tired of every single act of love and affection and care between two characters being taken as romantic like please I am Begging you let friends exist. weird and almost Sad that every act of affection has to have some romantic or sexual alterior motive? like yall don't hug your friends? don't tell them you love them? don't stick your feet in their lap when you sit on a couch together or rest your head on their shoulder or put your arm around their neck while you walk next to each other? you don't do random acts of kindness for them because you care about them? you don't hold their hand? don't say good night or good morning or text me when you get home safe? boring to make every single close relationship romantic it's also just sort of. and frankly people who think fiction is just fiction can fuck off. and that positive representation has a positive effect on these communities. but like … there is very real research out there that shows fiction has a very real harmful impact on minority communities. I know i know water is wet, all these studies to tell you what common sense could. The availability of GLB roles on TV positively impacts the gay communityĪnd i honestly i could go on and on and on and on Positive images of disability effect disabled people positively, where as negative images effect them negatively How about how inaccurate race and poverty images in the news effect our views on welfare? Stereotypes of latino/latina/latines in media have - you guessed it - harmful effects - including political ones There are harmful psychological effects on native americans thanks to sports mascots. Studies show our perception about asian americans, and their perceptions of themselves are impacted by media. like how black children (and white girls) self esteem is negatively impacted by media. There are several studies which prove this by the way. whats the reason? what excuse are we using now?) obviously that’s not something they can control. (and obviously, i know there are people with low/no vision who rely on photo IDs that may not describe the skin tones of the characters depicted in an image. HOW can you not notice the difference when on one post you have katara, and the next is of her white counterpart, katherine? is it that you just don’t care? im thinking that’s the case. This page is complete! This page contains all the knowledge we have on the subject at this time.Some of you guys reblog way too much whitewashed fanart for it to be an accident, im not gnna lie.Īnd i really don’t want to sound like im on some moral high ground bc yes, we all make mistakes (obv i do, too), but i just absolutely cannot understand how (some of) you consistently fail to recognize when a visibly brown character is drawn or edited to look lighter (sometimes to the point where they are made to look JUST as light skin as the actually light skin characters) or when a non-white character has their features whitewashed/replaced with eurocentric features.Īnd i mean this primarily for the people who reblog posts like this time and time again, while at the same time reblogging accurate depictions of the same characters.
