Tbh I do think black people have a overtendency to just claim anybody with a dark or different skin complexion to be black but after looking up who clawdeen is she is definitely a black woman. But sometimes it gets ridiculous when I see people try to claim like Kisame from Naruto or piccolo from dbz lmao
I’ve seen that happen too but u have to keep in mind there isn’t a lot of good black representation that isn’t just straight up caricature so I don’t rlly blame people for trying to find connections to themselves in characters. like if we had good poc representation then there would be no need for that. it’s the same thing for like when ppl got mad at Ariel being black. there is one main black Disney princess while there are multiple white ones, like white ppl already rule over the rest of us
You do know people claiming Piccolo aren’t being serious. It’s like us making the claim that Gojo is a light skin..he’s obviously not it’s just his mannerisms. I’m taking about actual black character and people genuinely fighting tooth and nail and being racist to claim they aren’t. Like Darwin from TAWOG recently
Yeah, they’re pretending like his race hasn’t been confirmed for YEARS. And that we haven’t seen him as a person in offical works and the show itself..oh and all his voice actors literally being black Somehow they are shocked and pretending like he’s never been black and that it’s “woke”
We are talking about the hate and denial of black characters in media, specifically anime and cartoons and ignoring or trying to erase their identities and putting black people down IRL. This isn’t remotely about seeing yourself in a character 😭 People apparently can’t even SEE the character
