viria: thebloggart: http://viria.tumblr.com/post/24007695791/your-art-was-included-in-the-blog-damn-lay-of-the It’s discouraging to find out that an artist one once thought was talented is actually a racist. Race is not subject to interpretation. George and Angelina’s baby is biracial. Sorry if that does not adhere to your all-important “vision,” but by white washing this character, you are erasing Angelina’s race. So I don’t think anon is unreasonable. You are simply a racist. And ableist, as you honestly think it’s ok to refer to some of your readers who may not understand sarcasm as “specials.”

  I was going to ignore this one, but I can’t. wow. just freaking wow. ‘so the artist will not let me reblog this’- do you have any clearest idea that you’re not actually allowed to reblog asks and answers on tumblr? do you? I guess not. There’s nothing to do with me. ‘if anyone interested’ sounds like O my god, everyone, look, viria is a fucking racist. go unfollow her. I deleted all the asks connected to this to ‘escape the drama’ but I feel like some people just need to find a reason for this. Is this message an intention to offend or upset me? well, great, congrats. you can be proud of yourself. I love it how people absolutely ignore what I am actually trying to say… just to call me a racist and get as many people to think like this as they can. Have you nothing else to do with your life or what? I am not erasing Angelina’s race, goddammit. I only wanted to make Fred II looking like his died uncle, that’s it.. also I loved how you absolutely ignored the part when I am saying that I do see Roxanne as being mixed and I have nothing against it. Also I love how you ignore the actual genetic possibility for a child of multicoloured parents to be completely white. or completely black. There is bunch of people who wrote me that they\their friends has one black parent and they are really pale-have freckles-etc You can’t say I am whitewashing the character you don’t ACTUALLY know how he looks like. I have a few dark skinned OCs, I always draw dark characters the way they are made, I have nothing against dark people, because probably the most stupid reason to dislike someone is their skin colour or appearance. so, thank you that you made me looking like that. also, thanks for bad mood. thank you for tagging this with my name and racist, that would sure make me see this. now leave me the fuck alone. I am tired explaining what I am trying to say, tired of  you thinking I am a racist when I am not. just. fucking. tired.

Wow… Obviously people on tumblr don’t understand genetics or symbollism. Viria is right, sometimes the children of biracial couples turn out to be all black or all white, and since the kid’s skin color isn’t mentioned, it’s up in the air for her to draw. Also, the SYMBOLISM guys! It’s not being racist to make Fred II white, the fact of the matter is that having a child look exactly like him, exactly like his dead twin brother, would be both heartwrenching and a blessing. Sure, it would pain George to see a constant reminder that his brother is dead. But it’s also like Fred is still around, is still watching over his twin. Also, this view on Fred II is super duper common over the internet. And let’s not forget his sister, yes? The HP fanbase portrays her the same color as Angelina. So, theoretically, I could call THEM racist for not making her slightly less black due to George’s genes. Let’s be real people. Artists can draw whatever the fuck they want, and calling them racist on no solid ground is just a desperate plea for attention. Anons, grow the fuck up, read up on genetics and symbolism, and stop finding every excuse to put one of the greatest artists ever in a bad mood. Mmkay?
