[instiz] WHITEWASHING IDOLS' FACES

 

 

Recently, on Twitter, a lot of hush hush have been spreading over for boy groups like BTS, Seventeen, Infinite, etc. People were accusing their pictures of being whitewashed (turning them into white characters). They pointed out directly towards fansites managers how they overdid the editing with the idols' skin tones. They're also claiming to have "no whitewash" and "w/o whitewash" pictures instead and having the original pictures with original skin colors. There are even comparisons of the before and after edits spreading around now.

One of the fansites manager responded to the whitewashing accusations by saying that "It's not only the skin that I edit, but the whole picture's filter and aura. I am not trying to turn them into white people"

1. Isn't this just a new kind of obsession? It's like those filters you put on when you're taking a selfie

2. We don't want it to look white, but brighter

3. If they really wanted to follow how white people looked like, they would've photoshoped freckles on them...

4. Just the fact that they claim we're copying the white people proves that they still have the white supremacy mindsetã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ 

5. In my whole life of fangirling, I've never thought about it once

6. "Because we want them to look like white people" what the f*ckã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ The only reason we would do that is because we envy people with paler skin that's it... Plus, I personally think that Asians look best with a middle tone skin because they look healthierã…‹ã…‹ã…‹  And there are lots of idols who are born with pale skin originally

7. So do they tan because they want to look like black people?

8. I've never thought of my bias as white people when I looked at their pictures though....

9. Anything we do, they'll accuse us of wanting to look like white peopleã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

10. We're not trying to make them look like white people. We want them to look like they have a milky skin, with jet-black hair, and red lips, that's the look we're going for.

11. Whatever we do, they'll just think that we're jealous of white people

12. In my whole life of fangirling, I've never wished my biases to be white people

13. There are far more Koreans with whiter skin than white people thoughã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Why are they accusing us to copy white people all the time? They have freckles and their faces turn red so easily, plus they age faster than us, why would I want to have their skin?

they missed the point is what I think lmao

not every white person has freckles um...

[Sailor Mars]

They missed the entire point 

 

 

"Because we want them to look like white people" what the f*ckã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ The only reason we would do that is because we envy people with paler skin that's it...

This knetz is proving us right just by saying this.... Like this is the issue, a skin tone shouldn't equate to healthier...... Like the more they explain why they desire that look proves us right.... It's bad to whitewash a person who is naturally tan, it makes them feel like their skin tone is not beautiful, when it is. omg

[Wiccan]

They really missed the point, but people do exaggerate a bit. Sometimes it is really just a filter.

Whitewashing is gross as fuck but these people who recolor pictures also make them look A LOT darker than they actually are and it's just as annoying to me.

I'm crying lmao. They don't even see how they are making people insecure with their obsession for "pale" skin. Look at kai he gets so many negative comments about it, even from his own members, the members probably don't want to hurt his feelings, tho they don't think about how he must feel. But it's really annoying how they are such hypocrites right now saying: " we only prefer white/pale skin", but when someone doesn't have pale skjn they are instantly ugly by their standards.

-touche.

This is what misinformation does. Someone ignorant throws a statement 'asians whitewash photos to look like whites', people repeat the same phrase over and over again and this is what we get. 

 

 I think they should understand the real purpose, to not consider paler skin superior to darker skin.

[Sephiroth]

it has nothing to do with white people, colorism is within ones own race and it existed in asian countries before they knew white people existed. that doesnt make it okay but theyre not trying to look like white people 

[janiedee]

 

In this one, I think this is just a case of differences in photography tbh. Also people don't stay the same shade all throughout the year
