Dandadan “Blackwashed” Fan Art Gets RATIOED by Japanese!


Japan is DONE with the “skintone police’ and the race-swapping of Asian characters. A 16-year-old artist faced MASSIVE online backlash with 45 million views for posting fan art of “Dandadan” characters as African-Americans, accused of “blackwashing” by Japanese fans.

Japanese artists have received death threats and had work canceled for drawing characters “too light-skinned”, highlighting a double standard in fan art criticism.

A systemic bias exists where Asian artists are disproportionately targeted for changing skin tones, while non-Asian artists are often praised for similar work.

The controversy has created a culture of fear among artists, as Japanese fans are increasingly tired of seeing their characters’ skin tones altered.
