Replying to @Hiz12041
Your artstyle is great, but please don't do that. The design is orientalist.

- Replying to @Hiz12041"made up"? "bullshit"? I apologise, but the art is an obvious depiction of a middle eastern / north african stereotype.
- Replying to @Hiz12041Yeah! You never SAID anything offensive. Thing is: The outfit is discriminative against north african and middle eastern people. Please don't victimize yourself. You aren't the victim. We aren't shooting you. It's just that people need to be more educated on this topic.
- Replying to @Hiz12041Use your art skills for less demeaning purposes, please. The art is wasted on the concepts here, these things are discriminative against groups of people.
- Replying to @RayJ5green and @Hiz12041What?? I am a woman. What I'm saying is not discriminative. People are free to dress as they want as long as it isn't offensive or hurtful. It applies to men, too. This is common knowledge.
- Replying to @BiSubaru and @SubaruYaoihalf of the arguments were just 1 + 2 = seafoam
- Replying to @RayJ5green and @Hiz12041You've completely misunderstood the point. Yes, the art and the artstyle are pretty. Thing is, they're also contributing towards a massive pre-existent stereotype. (And the fanfiction it was inspired by is also guilty of it.) It's racist.
- Replying to @cryingforonion @Hiz12041 and 2 othersRacism comes in many shapes. Anyone can be racist. Being asian, black, white or arab doesn't excuse anyone from their actions.
- Replying to @Hiz12041 and @RayJ5greenPlease stop trying to act like I am harrassing or insulting you over this. I am just pointing things out. Plus, blocking wouldn't do the issue any better.
- Replying to @RayJ5green and @Hiz12041I would have stopped replying if the issue was resolved. Unfortunately, you keep attempting to refute it and feel attacked by me addressing it. Your friend can continue creating pretty and beautiful artworks, they already have the skills to do so.
- Replying to @rezidentrtblegh @RayJ5green and @Hiz12041It's just that this drawing in particular happened to be offensive to north african and middle eastern people, an issue which needed to be addressed. I don't dislike them over it, either. And stop trying to trying to go to other topics. It doesn't help with anything.
- Replying to @cryingforonion @Hiz12041 and 2 othersThe fanfiction itself is the equivalent of a racist caricature. People supporting it are either a bit too uneducated on the matter or just racist, too.
- Replying to @Hiz12041 and @RayJ5greenThe reason you just listed is of high importance, actually! For your case, it was made with the central idea of love. With the design at hand, it's hurtful, as it silenced the actual culture for exoticism and depravity. But, like I said earlier, it's not the artist's fault.
- Replying to @RayJ5green and @Hiz12041Again, I am not harrassing or insulting anybody. I believe the artists has the best of intentions. The issue is that both the fanfiction and the designs are highly problematic. Whether the creator deletes their post and apologises is, in the end, up to them.
