More humantale shit. As expected, Chara is white.

I can barely recognize some of these. God damn, humantale is awful in every way.

Seriously, I've only ever seen one human Undertale au that didn't suck balls. What is it with this fandom and shitty "diverse" fanart?

I mean, the whole point for all those characters are to attribute them to someone you know because they are underground creatures with no apparent races and, sometimes, gender. So their "diverse" fanart is pretty much pointless because the game is indirectly diverse.

Eh, the impression I get is that they prefer Poe/Finn to Rey/Finn is because its m/m more than anything else (cause tumblr gotta have its kawaii yaoiz). The most popular Kylo ship actually seems to be Kylo/Hux, which is of course also m/m.

On a related note, I'll have to dig it up but I found a wonderfully special post going apeshit about how Reylo was wrong because Rey is a chick but Kylux is fine because they're both evil white guys. Also found one where someone was getting buttfrustrated by people calling the First Order space Nazis.

And to think all I wanted was goofy art of Darth Hot Topic and friends.

I mean, at the end of the day, most of these people are just yaoi fangirls masking their fetishes with a political agenda. The only thing that irks me is that they're so dishonest about it.

Every fucking time you see somebody complain about the lack of f/f shipping art in any fandom, they're basically lamenting that there's just a bunch of straight girls hanging around and not enough lesbians.

You cant really bitch about a character being white when they actually, ya'know, are white. Regardless it's stupid.

I think it has less to do with a canonically white character being drawn white, and more to do with how only the evil character is white meanwhile all the good characters are some shade of brown (or yellow).
Is this the same person behind that ask-humantale blog? Cuz that had the whole "only evil characters are white" thing going on too, with Asgore and Flowey also being white.
Five bucks says that if Alphys didn't have a redemption arc, she would have been a cracker, too.

That's what I was referring to with the post, you cant really get rustled with "THEY DREW CHARA AS WHITE BECAUSE THEY HATE WHITES" when the character is canonically that. Edit: What I mean is, either way, if they drew them cuz muh bad guize, you still can't really call them a shitter for doing it cause that's what the character actually is.
If they're drawing Alphys as POC because they got redeemed, why is Asgore white? Oh wait I know, because Alphys is basically a expy of most of those tumblr-tards.

Yes, it's the same person. If you go to their blog and read their asks about undertale, it's a lot of sperging about a lack of nonbinary representation or whatever that led them to make their fan creations also NB. Not that this adds representation to the original work.

I also don't think these people realize the way they're advertising and designing these characters is giving them the same depth of characterization as Captain Planet.

For what it's worth, I think the issue is that the artist made all the ''good'' guys some ethnicity other than white and left the ''bad'' guy as it was, white.

Whenever I see human fanart that depicts these characters as Arab the women always have a niqab. Because every woman from the middle east wears a niqab even if they're not Muslim, right? Shouldn't this mean we also see stereotypical Jews as well?

Because of how little knowledge tumblrinas have about the things they're trying to include, I get the impression they think that a Niqab is something Arab women in general have to wear rather than just the religion. I also find it pretty amusing that they're trying to represent what can easily be seen as a symbol of oppression for women.

I'm no Dale Carnegie, but I don't think telling people to go jump off a bridge usually helps you to come across as a pleasant person that others would want to give money to.

Also, I don't know how it is in the US, but in the UK there are enough people willing to pay cash-in-hand for you to do regular small jobs for them, and because they're generally ordinary people rather than employers working for a business, they don't give a shit who you are or what documentation you have. I can't imagine New York, of all places, is any different.

Too much work. It's easier, and less successful, to just bitch and moan on Tumblr.
