Saw this comic on Tumblr, thought I might post it in the thread. The art style has a bit of that Tumblr ugliness going on, particular in the central black character, but I'm more interested in what our black Kiwis make of the message of it.

To me, it feels full of this bitterness and resentment that I feel could be avoided with this guys "friends" if he just talks to them about it like a rational adult. I find a lot of interpersonal problems can be solved just with open, earnest discussion, instead of just bottling up these feelings and blaming others when they remain clueless as to why you're pissed off. How can you possibly know that they'll turn on you like you're afraid they will until you speak up? Isn't that what activism is? Promoting genuine understanding with words?

Then again, this is not the full comic, so perhaps things turn out differently in the full version.

I like how hilariously out of touch the author is in thinking that black people are the only ones who ever have to think before they talk lest people misunderstand. No, that's called tact. Most people exercise it.

He looks like he has vertillo (sp).

This is an old-ish comment but it made me think. I braved the autism of derpibooru to see how many pictures were tagged with "hijab" compared to "bindi". Bindi currently has around 47, while "hijab" is at 209.

The "overly diverse" art tends to get downvoted to oblivion, like these gems (surprise, sources are all tumblrs):

And I found one who hasn't drawn any muslim characters at all but does draw Hindi Fluttershy.

I actually think this artist has a cute style.

That last pic is super cute. If they were all drawn like this, there would be no problem imo

These are supposed to be paper Mario characters. The one on the right is supposed to be a trans girl.

Why is Ichimatsu always the fat one.

Also, you gotta love sextuplets who look alike despite massive body and height differences. lol.

...I'm pretty sure you can be identical with body/height differences, just maybe not that extreme...

I like dongoverlord's work, especially their undertale work. I can't quite see what's the issue with some of their other stuff. Granted, I don't go looking for it.

Then isn't it rather unfortunate that s/he has the male symbol next to his/her name?

From what I heard, Vivian might be a tranny, at least in the Japanese version.

the artwork isn't that bad tbh.

At least in comparison to art from other people over the same cartoon. Still, one could still have a critique over this.

Yeah, in the Japanese release Vivian is routinely referred to as being male by other characters. People debate whether this means Vivian is transgender or if it was intended as a running joke, similar to a character constantly getting another character's name wrong. In other versions of the game, jokes about her gender were removed.

Actually, I think people just found that the Japanese version contains no references to the character being female, and was therefore probably intended to be a very feminine dude in that version. However I think other language versions had Vivian be trans.
Why are the Simpsons drawn in some shitty hybrid of Gravity Falls/Rick and Morty style, too? That artstyle looks like a soulless ripoff of whatever cartoons the artist watches.

Beacause tumblr art style does not focus on fundimentals like anatomy, color and composition. Just on what is popular and what races are seen as subversive (lol at that concept even). That's why so much of it looks like a bad knock off, people with poor understanding or anatomy trying to stylize.

Artistically it's the equivilent of biting into a rotten apple. Outside might be shiny and new, but the basis is shit.

I mean, why not just color them the same way The Simpsons crew colors in Dr. Hibert?

Because skin disease is another tumblr trend I suppose. It's all about the uwu subversiveness

EDIT: I just remembered that in the show they stated that Homer had a black ancestor...So wouldn't it make more sense to make him the black one of the two...
