I actually like this piece way more than the others I can't exactly pinpoint why but that's the feeling I get from this picture, The okina one still takes first place though. With that said the artist is a kind of a hypocrite since they can't tolerate black characters getting "whitewashed". Don't get me wrong the low effort shit where the only change is the skin color is definitely racist bait but I feel like if an artist goes through the effort to reimagine the character as a different ethnicity then it should be considered acceptable and not inherently racist.
Finally a smart comment in this brain dead website. fun fact for you weebs out there who love Japan. one of the 7 lucky gods
Benzaiten is based on the Hindu goddess Saraswati so you can say Benzaiten is Japanese wash Verison of a Hindu goddess so would you complian about that? Look objectively if someone wants to make Verison of a character of a different race and ethnicity for fan art it fine as long your not making it to be offensive. As long it doesn't change the canon of the official work it as has little to no impact. And I find it interesting as an artist to make a character in a different ethnicity because I personally find it interesting see what a character look like in a different race. that doesn't mean someone is racist and just because an artist make a character that are all race swap to be a specific it doesn't mean they hate any other race don't be so fucking uncharitable. obviously if they made fan art of a character they like despite them not being the race they are obviously that sign there not racist because they wouldn't make art of the character at all. do people like that exist yeah sure but unless they show that their being racist just keep a fucking open mind
