we need to destroy the pale snow bunny femme x dark skin muscular butch sapphic comic industrial complex
okay couple things, I know that these comments are well meaning but this is not a fish for webtoons recommendations or suggestions on how to flip these tropes. this is me asking for you to sit and think about why these tropes exist in the first place. and why they’re so widespread. a majority of the queer artists that make art and get popular off of their art are white thats a given. I feel like low-key when it comes to the majority of art I see and what art gets popular; when it comes to white wlw/sapphic/etc artists they wanna show how idk, woke they are with their art so they try to get in as many brown/black ocs as they can to ship with their white ocs. the problem arises when they showcase certain like romantic and sexual dynamics in their art but they don’t think about it past surface level ‘this is what gets me off’. like, for starters why do you associate darker skin and/or blackness with like aggressiveness, strength, servitude and carnality? why is that?
also low-key you can avoid this problem by simply having like, two dark skin women be together? you don’t have to insert yourself, oops I mean a white oc, into your work every time. I also have a similar issue with white mlm/etc artists making east and south asian men sexually submissive to their white male paramours + just straight up not making content of queer black men/acting like they don’t exist.
ultimately um, idk if you’re a white artist you need to be more critical of the shit you’re into sexually and unpack the racialized tropes you perpetuate. umm… stop with the antiblack and orientalist shit. and lastly stop acting like gay and bisexual black men don’t exist. by the power of the father the son and the holy spirit amen.
