Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

what does it mean when someone says a black character isn't "coded as black"?

[(Anonymous)]

It's a bit like this, anon.

"Colin Powell is not openly black. Colin Powell is openly white. He just happens to be black."

[(Anonymous)]

It means the Tumblrina thinks the character isn't enough of a black stereotype to be "really" black.

just responding here for the sake of convenience but ah. that's what i was afraid of

thanks guys

i hear tell of this shot going on with lucio from overwatch

like they're complaining that he doesn't have "african facial features"

is it true

[(Anonymous)]

overwatcher here. i haven't seen that (though i don't go digging in lucio's tag on tumblr or anything). the main problem i see re: lucio is his almost invisibility in porn. sadly, this is a thing that happens to black characters on the regular in fandom.

OTOH, reaper gets tons of porn. he's a dark-skinned latino. though not everyone draws him looking like that, because dying-cells whatever.

he main problem i see re: lucio is his almost invisibility in porn

I'm peripherally aware of Overwatch and this makes me sad. Lucio is adorable.

[(Anonymous)]

he fortunately tends to have high quality porn when he actually does get it, and fandom's slowly catching on. but yeah. he's nowhere near as popular as anyone else aside from... torbjorn.

[(Anonymous)]

...so what you're saying is the fandom is missing torbjorn/lucio porn.

he looks pretty black to me

though they probably mean "he doesn't have enormous lips and bulging white eyes and a tribal outfit" since that's usually what tumblr kids mean when they say "not x enough"

lucio's brazilian.

he might be mixed with african-something but he's not "full black" so no he wouldn't be "coded black" even if you think he does "look black"

Re: http://cdn.blizzardwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lucio-overwatch.jpg

[(Anonymous)]

which was another point I was going to bring up but couldn't figure out how to word it the right way

being Brazilian doesn't mean he's any less black, so idk why some people would say he's not black. Central and South America are chock full of black people who intermixed with Spanish, Portuguese, and indigenous tribes, but it doesn't change that they're black or of African descent.

tumblr is ridiculously ameri-centric and have a very very narrow view of what countries have black populations

just look at how little they fail to understand egypt's racial make-up

it's incredibly racist honestly

[(Anonymous)]

pretty much this

it's hilarious but also sad how little would-be sj slacktivisits understand about the world outside of their american bubble. lucio doesn't fit whatever stereotypes of african americans they have conjured up, so he's not "coded black" or "black enough", nevermind that he's neither african nor american.

[(Anonymous)]

why the fuck is this thread full of black people hate

[(Anonymous)]

the thread's full of brexit voters, obvs

[(Anonymous)]

where?

[(Anonymous)]

ain't nobody hating on black people here? unless the assertion that "black coding" is more than a series of American stereotypes about black people is somehow anti-black.

[(Anonymous)]

why do you faggots post this shit here

[(Anonymous)]

because we needed a little spark to get flamin'

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

this was a blast from the past i didn't need

I love you too.
