Got called racist cause I “white washed” my own character, when one of the major plot points in my story is that the zombie virus causes albinism and that also counts immune characters

So he is Hispanic but just has albinism now?

He (char) was Hispanic and African American, and yes at the beginning had a darker skin tone, however, he’s not the only character who’s immune, it’s not rare and i didn’t do it to all of my POC characters

Bro I got accused of drawing blackface when one of my characters is inspired off of the yin symbol and her counterpart is inspired off of the yang symbol and they’re non human 🫩

Yes, I didn’t change anything about his personality, just his skin and hair color. It’s the same thing that happened with several other characters but “thats fine” because they were white to begin with??

That’s annoying. I guess they don’t believe that people of color with albinism exist either.

Yeah, their arguement was “people are born with it” and so me making it happen later in life was bad. There’s a canonical reason for it too, it’s because the virus escaped a lab and in the lab that made it, they used the genetic altering to make anyone infected become albino so that they could easy see which versions worked and which didn’t.
