I am so grossed out because of this “All of the 90’s cartoons mixed with today’s” post. (x)

I mean, look at it. Like first of all, it is true we have a mix of non-humans and white people now so you can’t blame this mix for that. But for Rocket Power, a show consisting of POC, they whitewashed Gravity Falls’ Soos in favor of looking like Squid, but nobody of the light-skinned individuals of the now is given a darker skin??



But what got me riled up most is Powerpuff Girls X Steven Universe. Like. Who is the fudging leader. WHO IS THE FUDGING LEADER. Who is the PINK ONE of the Crystal Gems?? And the Leader?

Pearl. THEY CHOSE PEARL TO BE BLOSSOM. And guess who Garnet is? Buttercup. Friggin. Because she is the bruiserrr. You aren’t going to tell me this is some ingrained yucky racism making its grand debut here hot dog!

Like if you have any neutrality, Garnet, the leader and pink one, would be Blossom. Amethyst, the one to like roughhousing, would be Buttercup. Pearl, the blue one and everything always. going. in. her. favor. would be Bubbles.

I am so mad because ppl reblog this because ~So Many Cartoons~ ~90s was GLORY~ Nostalgia kinda doodoo but it’s just a racist piece of trash whitewashing and white praising (making the light-skinned the leader) what little representation we have now.
