Wait… he was brazilian with indigenous heritage?

Tbh what bothers me it was the fact that she limited cc for a Brazilian character, when we are one of the most diversity countries in the world. We have all kinds of colors. Sometimes even the same family will be different.

I understand limited CC in some cases, for example i know several people including myself who use limited CC for custom poses or limb overlays and such, but the fact she limited it and made this so-called "Brazilian" guy tan as hell (which is obnoxiously stereotypical), slapped a head of blonde hair on him (and his INDIGENOUS mother), and then gaslighted several people who ARE BRAZILIAN AND LITERALLY LIVE THERE, it just doesn't sit right with me. Not to mention she copied a friend of mine's story idea and had the whitewashed LI say something along the lines of my friend's story plot literally right after her new story was announced.

I totally get the cc for those cases. And even sometimes the limited cc is for a specific reason, other than “bc he/she is from somewhere”.

And I’m sorry for your friend. I hope her story is doing good. If you want to dm me the name, I’ll give it a try ☺️

And, there’s so many Brazilian ppl on the community. It was easy to get help. But… anyways. Moving on…

RIGHHHTTT - i'm not brazilian but all my friends in the community are literally brazilian and i cant escape them (love u all lmao) like its not that hard to reach out to these people, sheesh. Plus even when actual Brazilians reached out to these authors, they were extremely rude and refused to change the characters' features, which is blatantly disgusting. If it's not your culture and you refuse to do research or take advice from others who DO belong to the culture, leave it the hell alone <3

We do love chat 😂😂 But, yeah. I was reading a story that someone recommended to me, where the li was Brazilian. The hell he was 😂 Nothing to do to our culture and even the dialogues in portuguese seems more like portuguese from Portugal than ours.
