Oh god, less than a week ahead of the George Floyd protests broke out from Weismart's blog
I've seen folks draw him fully black on Animal Crossing Bells event, even about the offical sub-par, and who get very huffy or even agressive once you point he's not really'black representaition' because. . I mean I will not lie, going by how he's attracted in the offical manga I certainly do not think he is just tan but enjoy, there's a spectrum of skin colour folks.
To a lesser extent I've also seen people do it with Xinyan. The character who's very clearly meant to be the Chinese equvilant of a tanned nation hick (which is a sterotype in China also ) and who sounds like Applejack.Yep, just the other week I saw some crazy hot takes about just how anybody tweeting about their interests/anything-not-the-current-situation during the entire American capitol crisis should be embarrassed of themselves/should be unfollowed/etc. As if the whole world should halt all tweeting and perform with audience into the American political drama of the afternoon. There's a real debatable expectation on twitter that everyone should both be completely conscious of every minutiae of American life and be devoted to showing wokeness and continuous awareness... even if you are not American.
Oh god, less than a week ahead of the George Floyd protests broke out, there was in my town a horrible incident in which a handicapped woman was left to die in a horrific, tortuous manner - so awful that even the most bland and emotionally impartial description of the events bothered me to the remainder of the day. It raised a nationwide problem to make sure other disabled people under attention weren't being treated this way, and that I as a disabled girl myself felt extremely strongly about it and wanted to do anything I could to help out.
And George Floyd died, in addition horrendous conditions, and Animal Crossing Items For Sale that was the sole thing anybody was permitted to take care of. My fandom spaces that I turned to for unwinding from RL activism were flooded with images of violence (much of it also against disabled people, but this was very rarely acknowleged) and tweets basically claiming that if I didn't retweet these and call myself awful items I was a horrible man who would also be killing these (again, lots of disabled) people as well.
