Excuse me? But I fail to see the problem with you pointing out how whitewashing deities from a culture that suffered from colonization, and even tampered Quetzalcoatl's name by saying he was white in order convert them to christianist? A lot of people have been trying to silence those who spoke on that matter, even native descendant, and I find what that anon said quite insulting, you have by no means done anything wrong
it's fine actually. i do know that the whitewashed design of tezca is just,,,weird but i'd rather just respect the opinion of a native and be a bit silent abt it bc i do understand their point of ppl trying to speak over them (i kinda see this stuff happening on twitter). but also i wish anon would also know that im only passingly criticizing the whitewashed design bc as an artist, we have the responsibility to research abt the history/roots if we are going to draw a design that is based on historical ppl/myths lest an artist commits cultural appropriation etc.
