Japanese artists are facing harassment on Twitter from Western critics who disagree with their creative choices, particularly regarding skin tones in artwork, leading to self-censorship and unwarranted apologies.
The Tumblr art community, still active in 2024, continues to criticize cartoon skin tones, with users often labeled as “Tumblr wres” for their persistent complaints about representation.
A Splatoon fan artist faced backlash for depicting the character Nutmeg Knight with lighter skin, resulting in demands to redraw the character progressively whiter with each comment.
Japanese culture’s emphasis on politeness leads artists to apologize for perceived cultural insensitivity, even when the majority of Japanese people don’t share the critics’ views.
The Twitter community is divided on the issue of skin tones in cartoons, with some advocating for diverse representation while others argue it’s not their responsibility.
Western critics are often perceived as self-righteous and hypocritical in their demands for cultural representation in Japanese artwork, despite it not being within their cultural context.
