Who would have thought something like this would bring me back to art. lol…
Gosh but I’m sick and tired of random people declaring that “changing” the color of a character with darker skin based on lighting is somehow whitewashing.
Skin changes colors depending on the lighting and atmosphere! >:C
Plus, some people’s styles makes EVERYTHING lighter. I know sometimes I like to lighten EVERYTHING up cuz it looks nice to the eyes! Like a light watercolor look.
Zoey does not approve. >:V
I do realize this is a “straw man”, but when people bitch about something like this it looks extremely silly.
Like, this post explains it better: https://twitter.com/NeruNox/status/1018914157092114435
A little note about Zoey: Her and all dark-skinned people in her world have a lighter belly, just in case you were confused by that. lol
I also guess she’s into volley ball now. Hunter shall join her. ahaha "](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/001/394/933/2fa.png)

![Constance Wu @ConstanceWu Follow Can we all at least agree that hero-bias & "but it's really hard to finance" are no longer excuses for racism? TRY look like Matt Damon. They look like Malala. Ghandi. Mandela. Your big sister when she stood up for you to those bullies that one time. Money is the lamest excuse in the history of being human. So is blaming the Chinese investors. (POC's choices can be based on unconscious bias too) Remember it's not about blaming individuals, which will only lead to soothing their lame "b-but I had good intentions! but...money! microaggressive excuses. Rather, it's about pointing out the repeatedly implied racist notion that white people are superior to POC and that POC need salvation from our own color via white strength. When you consistently make movies like this, you ARE saying that. YOU ARE. Yes, YOU ARE. YES YOU ARE. Yes dude, you f------ ARE. Whether you intend to or not. We don't need salvation. We like our color and our culture and our own strengths and our own stories. (if we don't, we should) We don't need you to save us from anything. And we're rtreally starting to get sick of you telling us, explicitly or implicitly, that we do. Think only a huge movie star can sell a movie? That that has NEVER been a total guarantee. Why not TRY to be better? If white actors are forgiven for having a box office failure once in a while, why can't a POC sometimes have one? And W COOL would it be if you were the movie that took the "risk" to make a POC as your hero, and you sold the s--- out of it?! The whole community would be celebrating!! If nothing else, you'd get some mad respect (which is WAY more valuable than money) So MAKE that choice. I know that overcoming your own bias and doing something differently takes balis....Well don't you WANT balls? Look. I know there are lotsa POC who honestly don't care. Who think I'M being crazy. Well excuse me for caring about the images that little girls see, and what that implies to them about their limitations or possibilities. If you know a kid, you should care too. Because we WERE those kids. Why do you think it was so nice to see a nerdy white kid have a girl fall in love with him? Because you WERE that nerdy white kid who felt unloved. And seeing pictures of it in Hollywood's stories made it feel possible.That's 15,642 24,169 2:03 PM-29 Jul 2016](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/001/221/344/c3a.jpg)
