Thoughts on Black edits/"racebending" etc

ion give a shit about that for most ofmy blorbos honestly just please don't whitewash anyone or erase anyones ethnic features!! I'm not the most skilled at drawing them myself but i try to do my best and do my research. PLEASE feel free to headcanon different cultural stuff though as that doesnt necessarily correlate to their appearance. I dont trust myself to draw certain things without messing it up rn (specifically pertaining to religion) so if you want to like say hc somebody as for example Muslim and wanna interpret their design with the appropriate clothing/headwear feel free! (e.g. giving somebody a hijab is fine by me and I would actually love to see this if you think it's fitting)

i will say tho !! since Bri and Sil are basically a step away from self insert please dont do anything with those two! I am not black and neither is my partner and so it would feel very wrong 2 condone that to me!! Bri's main identity is being ethnically/culturally a white-ish Jew (non practicing) with some Latino and Indigenous mixed in, and Sil is just .. white. Atheist white creature.

but anyone else like usually i will have very diverse ocs so it really wont be necessary to make any like, Edits imo? but whatever makes u happy frfr /gen ;; i love seeing alternate interpretations of characters! again just please do not whitewash or erase features. I will probably just block you if i see it... ^^;
