some of you didn't care about anti-roma racism until aventurine. and if you actually cared about us you would be mad at his whitewashing too bcz brown skinned romas are the majority yet our only rep is SEXUALIZED esmeralda and mcu's whitewashed wanda maximoff/scarlet witch.

because hyv takes inspiration from actual cultures and events and only those who have knowledge on them and are professionals can make great analysis. I'm not saying that teens and young adults can't be correct btw. I just wanna see more lore analysis from adults

@himejoshisam literally. that's entirely on hyv and most likely IPC (?), there's a theory that IPC named it sigonia out of their racism towards avgins and others

that's why we never listen to people who think brown skin = black. also the fact that you erase kinich's other cultures and ethnic inspos makes me want to catch you and slap you 1M times. he's lighter than me in this edit oh yall would call my skin tone ultra black I just know it

Like, making Kinich black when he is Maya. He definitely should have a darker skin tone than the official model, but from what I've seen it's more like brown or a tan. Something like this:

@AraYuannn they're talking about the word "sigonian" which is a slur irl but in-game it's the name of aventurine's planet. he didn't call him a slur. he mentioned the name of his planet and talked about how aventurine is just a slave for IPC. afawk it's a slur irl but not in game jeez

aventurine not being brown skinned in canon is a missed opportunity and the fact that we don't have brown skinned rroma rep is also really bad. kids like my niece (rroma-zapotec and georgian) have zero representation. there's no brown rroma character or any georgian character

now you're blaming ME for "switching sides" and "attacking you", acting like a victim. yes they used slur, yes they whitewashed him, yes he's a bad portrayal but what gives u the right to speak over us or call over reps "not obvious & WHITE." even if they're bad they're NOT white

which led me to saying "I'm mexican" instead of zapotec. but people still made comments on my skin, called me c slur and many other things. every single representation of my people have always been associated with me and people always thought I was 1:1 those characters.

if you're gonna whitewash us and make our people paper white don't take our cultures and important figures as "aesthetic and some fictional stories" to gain profit. bipoc cultures are good for racists as long as they get benefit. that's called stealing and cultural appropriation.

I'm gonna be that person and say another rroma here, you're fetishizing slavery, potentially sexual abuse as well and you're racist. he's based on my people's struggles. our history with slavery is not an aesthetic nor is it something you can fetishize. seek therapy.

bipoc people are not obligated to stay quiet and "just drop it" when our cultures are used for aesthetic purposes, to gain profit. this is harmful and says a lot about people who "just give up." I will keep talking about it. I will keep pointing out the obvious colorism.
