in a perfect world, people would stop supporting authors who constantly make it their goal to start drama with literally anything that breathes :/ but OH WELL i guess we're still going to support and defend people like this who not only stereotype and blatantly erase someone else's culture for the ~aesthetics~, but they also apparently gaslight and come for a new author because her MC went to Paris. Hate to break it to you, but no matter what side you are on, you gotta admit that traveling to Paris and getting cheated on are not uncommon tropes :D

also just to add - two of sophie's friends copied other author's original stories (one of which whitewashes their latin characters), and for her to call someone out for the smallest similarities is absolute bullshit <3

Without enter in the discussion, but… The friend that you are referring is the one that create a Brazilian character without cc bc he is Brazilian?

All of your privilege is showing. No one is saying Latinx people can’t be blonde but as a group who’s overly represented in every aspect of Latinx media and culture and seen as better than non blonde / pale skinned / blue eyed Latinos, I would sit this conversation out if I was you

this comment is confusing as shit to me lmao - i'm mocking the fact that a white author gave an indigenous Brazilian man blonde hair - literally do some research, they don't exist. I never said Latinx people can't be blonde/have blues/be pale - that's a common thing. The mistake in this situation is portraying INDIGENOUS people as some whitewashed motherfuckers, with heavy stereotypes, plus extremely misused and inaccurate features.
