I'm a fan of Tanya again it feels good when they Nrs whitewash.
I'm just happy they didn't white wash a black girl in mk again like they did jadewe all deserve a fat ass pizza to eat screaming YUSS
I thought jade was still pretty dark tho.
As a black man I think only people unfamiliar with the series would see it as "white-washing". They made a race of people with vastly varying skin tones, that have never been shown to have labels and races like "black" or "white" tied to skin color.
how is that fair you would be upset about jax but not tanya? that just isn't right. We should never EVER be sticking up for this kind of behaviour and try to make it look like less of a thing.As a black man I think only people unfamiliar with the series would see it as "white-washing".

As far as I'm concerned she went from dark Edenian to high-tan Edian, back to dark Edenian. She was never black, she was never white, and she never will be.
Honestly I don't think any of the Edenians have every been portrayed as the same skin tone as each other, and besides Sindel they've all varied.
Calling Jade or Tanya black because they have dark skin would be like calling this 100% Indian woman black:
That's not how race works.
If they pulled a Michael Jackson with Jax however, i'd be more than a little confused and pissed.

I like that Tanya has gone back to her more traditional roots, but I kind of liked her a bit more with those pupils.
What he means is you could never factually say that Tanya is or was a "black" or "african american" character because she isnt. She is a dark skin Edenian. Edenians are a made up race of people that NRS can change and edit however they want. If they decide for continuity purposes that they want all Edenians to have a similar skintone then thats their right, if they decide that they want all Edenians to be blue then they can do that too. However with Jax and Jacqui they are both in fact African american characters so they are technically in a different boat than Tanya is.
Because Edenians aren't black people. They aren't even a real race of people at all. They come in an array of colors and those aren't even consistent between games.
yes actually i would !! it doesn't matter if it's a real race or not it has repercussions . You my friend can try to denounce this all you want but she's a dark skinned character and that is a FACT.
why do you care so much to fight against representation ? i don't see the point it doesn't affect you. why not let the people be happy they got what they should of at the start.
Bro where do you think people with dark skin get that dark skin? The answer is Africa, African people are the first people on the planet.As a black man I think only people unfamiliar with the series would see it as "white-washing".

Youre absolutely correct. Now tell me which continent EDENIANS come from genius?
Edenians are same as being an African or American. Their are black Edenians same as their are Black americans and White africans.Because Edenians aren't black people. They aren't even a real race of people at all. They come in an array of colors and those aren't even consistent between games.
This is an Edenian woman:
This is also an Edenian woman:
There is no set or correct skin tone for Edenians.
What are you going to say next, D'Vorah is a "yellow person" because her skin is yellow? Are you going to be mad if they make D'Vorah more of a bronze-gold in the next game instead of canary yellow?
Skin color does not denote race, especially when said character already has a set race, and that race is Edenian, and Edenians have a surplus of skin tones.
The only way i'm fighting "representation" is if one of you is an Edenian. If you aren't, i'm doing nothing more than stating facts about the game and its canon.
Dark skin was an evolution, high melanin concentration as a way to protect the skin from the harsh sun, having a lot of pigmentation doesn't make you black. "Black" is a cultural thing, not just the way a person looks. A dark skinned person isn't automatically black, even if billions of years ago the first man was.
Being an edenian is a not a race, it's the place they live
Dark skin came from the first people on the planet. A dark skinned person automatically have African DNA.
you are completely missing the point.
Edenians are not the same as anything from Earth because they are not from Earth.
This is a meaningless statement if you don't reiterate what your "point" is.
the only person who sounds upset here is you! and yo fighting words. I'm take my peace cause you really ain't worth none of my breath cause you just don't get it.
