I can't write Black Characters in my Manga? #Shorts

I got this comment about not being able to write black characters in my manga, which I disagree with. I think that it is okay for anyone to write outside of their experiences (otherwise I would only be able to write about straight Asian-American boys). Writers just need to be held accountable if they misrepresent and do their own research (consulting with POC, learning about other cultures, etc.)

Either way, I am a writer at Noircaesar (a manga company that focuses on diversity, primarily black and latino cultures) so I need to write black characters. It's my job haha.

free to check out my manga & books to support me!

As a black person
I think thats a stupid idea

[An-qszj]

When people don't add black characters into their story: people are offended
When people actually do add black characters: ...also offended?? Like what?

[kikikalathiasart]

Imagine getting on offended on someone else’s behalf


When they aren’t even offended.

"I feel like artists should leave writing animal characters to animal creators".

Beastars: Interesting...

[maverickREAL]

"I think only aliens should write alien characters"

[magentapurpleyap]

"Black chatacters can't be in mangas!"
Uub, Afro samurai and the boondocks: am i a joke to you?

[mocchiepitaph]

So by that logic, there would be no black characters in manga at all

[Zachary-]

"You only write main characters that look like you? Disgusting!"

"You write main characters that don't look like you? Disgusting!"

[Kirsten-icox]

As a black person, don’t listen to that, do whatever the heck you want because you are representing black people more in manga, thanks for that.

[JujuInFlames]

“There’s not enough black characters in this Japanese anime!”
“Excuse me youre Japanese not black, you can’t draw black characters”

[fdhksyjysysykkeyleykedud]

People try to sound woke but end up just sounding plain racist.

[nickleog]

Everyone should be allowed to embrace the exaggerated swagger of a black teen

[gforceneonaxetake]

Ok that's racist the only thing that should be separated by color is laundry

[Trojanpige]

Oh. So Stan Lee should have left writing Thor to the Asgardians then.
