honestly, if Kiki saw the bs and hate people are sending this kind talented artist she would banish them and personally take Thumin on a broom ride around her town. it's canon now.
So, people are calling her out for being “racist” but at the same time those people decide to make racist art of her and say racial slurs. Because it makes sense to be racist while hating on her for being racist. Makes sense.
They're dumb people like that like bruh the only thing the can say is racist shit nothing else like give a better reason and without the racist shit like how long can you go without being racist, 1 millisecond?
As a black artist, imma say this. stop. expecting. black. people. To. Be. The. Bigger. Person. When. It. Comes. To. RACISM. (Why are y'all giving this comment so much attention, it's facts and the bare minimum)
Exactly! Why would we just pretend we don't hear all of the racist remarks people say to us? We shouldn't be the ones getting backlash for standing up for ourselves.
OwO UwU Even if she was "blackwashing" it doesn't do anything so they can f^ck. All those people are the same people who'd probably defend whyte washing too or make b.s excuses if they can't justify it
First 2min I was thinking "was this blackwashing problem." until I saw the "I drew MYSELF as a Kiki." Yeah, fair game. Many artist do that and they really cant censor themselves. If they have different color, different hairstyle, different body style, heck even the gender is free here. Its the artist pretty much cosplaying the character in art. You really can't change what you look like so Thumin did nothing wrong in here.
" Black is everyone's favourite colour until it comes to skin " Just disappointed with how the community have these weird standards that they define everyone by. We are proud of how we are and no human being has the right to disrespect another. !! You are not perfect, I am not perfect and we all weren't born perfect! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Also whitewashing a character or person is wrong as well and you clearly stated that you drew your favourite character as your self so why should people judge you? Some people lack braincells 💯 And I just love how Instagram makes post of BLM and literally banned you 💀
Can people chill out? You drew yourself as a character. That’s it. It’s as simple as you liking Kiki, so you drew yourself as her. Nothing major. And it’s really adorable too
It honestly sounds like when a kid is bullied and the theacher's respond is "I know but could you please not bother me and quietly get over it", or "you ask for it for pissing off the bullies?" Like, the problem is not going away, you are just ignoring it.
The advice I got was "just walk away", "ignore it", "be the bigger person", "they thrive off attention"... all while all the adults in my life did _nothing_ and expected me to do all the work to stop these bullies. I can't ignore a punch in the face, I can't ignore being kicked by every boy in my class just for being a tomboy. I can't ignore being called anorexic and flat chested by the person who was supposed to be my best friend, when we were 7 years old. So I completely understand how useless and lazy this advice is, and how the only way to stop it is to speak out. I did- plenty of times- and still got ignored, so it was time for action. I left that school and swore I would never willingly go there again. Oh, yeah, and because he was enabled so much my main bully went on to stab a man to death in a pub. So, you know, stop victim blaming and enabling abuse- it can literally result in murder because they never become better, just worse.
@@beththedarkmage3359 really tho all through kindergarten to middle school they just say “walk away” it’s ridiculous how they can be like that when they used to be our ages. Seriously they’re just saying that because they don’t want to deal with it they know how it will affect us, can affect us and is right now. They’ll just say “be the bigger person and walk away” but they just don’t care. And what happens when they follow you everywhere you go? When they use every fiber of their being to make you miserable? Ignore it? They just want attention? Of course they do but that’s not all it is. “Haters gonna hate” yeah, yeah . But annoying can be more than just annoying, it will eventually become dangerous, people like that will cross the line and see how far they can go before you break. It’s really just messed up and unacceptable in any situation.
Never knew you lived in Finland god I'm so sorry. you find slurs in the weirdest of places, someone has written the n-word in the wall of the elevator of my apartment
I toatally agree. Its like the obssesion with painting "nazi" and the swastika everywhere. Why? Idk people think theyre cool if they paint and say slurs and things when they shouldn't?
And everyone in my school (and the school I went to before) is calling others gay like some kind of insult? They're throwing around the word "homo" (gay) to insult others. What??
@@stranger-xg2si that happened in my school too, but not everyone was saying it left right and centre- just some girl came to sit with me and my friends and said “that’s so gay” about smt (idek) and we turned around and told her off, then said that she shouldn’t say it because most of us are part of the lgbtq+ community or allies and plus it’s just uncalled for. Idk why people think it’s cool to say anything like this because it just isn’t.
Wow. Ok. The Gacha one REALLY stood out. Gacha is a fun kids game, not a racist hateful one. I'm a new Gachatuber, so I can't believe others are doing this. Thank you so much for bringing awareness to this. They will get karma, I'm SURE of it. Please, don't stop. As soon as you stop, nobody will realize the troubles of black creators. Thank you. Edit: Thank you for 200+ likes! I've been in the Gacha community since 2018 but just recently started making Gacha videos. It's horrible that such an amazing community is falling apart because of horrible people! Hopefully, all those who is being hated for who they are will find peace/get justice somehow.
As a white person, your drawing was amazing and you're super talented. Racism has no place in art and whoever gave you shit about it should be disgusted with themselves.
For everyone talking about her sponsorship, she deserves to make money of a video that was emotionally hard for her to make. Shes just telling her story and making bank off of it.
Seriously. I'll admit I thought it was weird at first, but even I was smart enough to realize that wasn't the point of the video, and I'm a whole dumbass. But honestly now, screw it. She absolutely deserves that money
i think what fucked people off was the fact that she put a sponsor in a video about a serious topic, maybe it seemed off for some people anyways i have no problem with that at all since the whole POINT of the video stays the same, no matter what sponsor
I mean isn't it also a good thing since videos like that one will be censored by youtube bc she speaks about sensitive topics? a sponsor will help the video in the YT algorithm and hopefully spread some awareness
What I’m hearing from a lot of those people is “I support you, your art is great, but like, shut up idc” Which is stupid Keep strong Thumin you’re a lovely person and don’t deserve any of this treatment, do not keep silent, proud of you for using your voice
These people just don't wanna admin that there wrong, even thou they realize what they said was racist in an appropriate they'd rather continue being racist than just leaving her alone... 😭
Racists: - Gets angry because Thumin made a self-insert character - Thumin (Our lovely Queen): - Addresses it and makes a bomb-ass video - Racists: - Gets angry again - Thumin: - M a k e s a n o t h e r b o m b - a s s v i d e o - (edit) YO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE LIKES! 🤍🤍🤍
you didn't blackwash kiki, you made yourself be her. basically cosplay, but in drawing a thing is black/whitewash a character, but making yourself a character is just cosplay, and cosplay is nice
@@hiiiiii1.1 One is based on mocking Black people while the other one is us wanting to feel seen and represented. If you don’t understand this movement, you are part of the problem. And yes, I know, this truth will hurt you! I told you anyway!
@@sexgravy9058 I'm not sure it is. I'm pretty sure at this point Thumin could've make a police report by this point if they were harrassing her irl. It's the anon-access online that keeps people from being properly punished.
The sad thing is that I suspect most or at least half of them aren't racist. Just believe she is balckwashing and claiming superior morality like other people actually does, or had dark humor but spreed it ramdomly and don't understand why it exist. They just made upset a ghibly movie fan, who wasnt damn jurting anybody. Even if it was blackwashing, I dont see anything bad in her tweet it would be just a redraw.
I swear I hate people who will waste their time just to dm u saying sht like "people like u should die" and calling u names. I wish more people like you could just make art freely without having to get commented and DMed racial comments. I hope those people suffer from how much hate they put on amazing and talented and beautiful people like you. Keep making masterpieces and do what you love❤️❤️
She didn't blackwashed anyone, she literally just drew herself as Kiki, basically it's art cosplay, there is a big difference. Stay safe Thumin. ❤ (p.s ik that I am late, just want to give my opinion on the matter.)
@softlytears As a person who cosplays their oc yeah people shouldnt do that like ive made a cosplay about alot of characters i know from but her getting spammed with n words and kys? aint cool man
@@Missieシ I know! I'm a black artist, and I'm surprised she's holding up, because I'm a kid, and that would break my heart if I went through that.. it's not BLACKWASHING! It just her making her character into her all time anime! What's so wrong about that?
Honestly this is absolutely ABSURD. LEAVE HER ALONE SHE LITERALLY JUST DREW HERSELF AS KIKI AND IT WAS ADORABLE. COME ON NOW WE LIVE IN THE 21ST CENTURY, THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING ANYMORE. *IF ONE OF THE PEOPLE HARASSING HER READ THIS, FALL IN A HOLE BECAUSE THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR*
Sigh. If white people attack each other ove minor thing, then no surprise americans still act like it's still a freakin 16th century. It's literally impossible to get rid of this type of hatred. Espesially, when you have that bad history.
Unfortunately we will always have opinionated, bigoted jerks who think they’re in the right and it’s okay to say blatantly rude things just because something goes against the norm. I hope there’s a day we can say that this stuff doesn’t happen anymore, but I doubt it.
This is Disgusting, as a brown asian, i have seen some hate myself, and it is not fun, and to experience all of this at one time for one person must feel devastating. You don’t deserve this and. I hope things will get better soon.
as a black artists this situation makes me so upset... and the fact that they’re attacking you for speaking out about violent racism and harassment you’re receiving seriously sets me off. I’m so sorry this has been happening to you for so long :(
My mom took one look at the drawing you’re making in the video and she said “They are both beautiful, it is upsetting to se one of them with tears.” When I explained the harassment you have been going trough she replied. “This is why jealously of talent is stupid.” (You’re the talented one dear, please keep fighting)
kinda late but as an asian person its completely okay to draw yourself as an anime character no matter your skin colour its only disrespectful when you claim to be "fixing" them
When they said "it's a joke" i tried looking for what could be funny with asking someone to die just because they are doing what they like, when they said "the situation is stupid" then the amount of hate she gets are more idiotic. Sometimes people like these won't understand unless they themselves are put in this situation :/
Every time someone says it’s just a joke always ask them “what’s the joke? What’s supposed to be funny here?” Because obviously there is no real joke, the punchline is racism and that’s not funny.
Literally googled what it meant "a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline" yeah how are those people joking even google a platform with like uh lots of knowledge about things says that that is not a joke ;-;
They used learn about my module who teaches that think before you joke around and more other stuff to learn to be a nice person. Its called esp, edukasyon sa pagpapakatao.
@@lazysanscult_yt4564 I wouldnt attack/try to cancel twitter, there are many amazing people that as she said in the video have worked incredibly hard to build their community. Yes people have been rude, annoying, r@s!st and even h0m0ph0b!c that doesnt mean you crush peoples lives, people like tommy (tommyinnit) and wilbur (wilbur soot) have incredibly big community’s and I just know they worked very VERY hard for it. I suggest stopping that before you actually one day do it and everyones dreams/lives get crushed. Thank you for actually reading this if you did
imagine, being more pissed at Raid Shadow Legends, the ad in the video, than the racism that someone is experiencing. thumin, thank you for standing up for yourself because this might make others inspired as well. also i love the art you did! its amazing. i'm also a gacha creator, but i will NEVER be as bad as the one you showed in the video. i used to have a black bestie that i started dating even. i think of black people like anyone else, that just experiences more hate than any other white person like myself.
“It’s not that bad” wtf. Thumin is being bullied AND harassed for their SKIN. They are being called slurs and told to unlive, that’s horrible. I hope everything gets better soon, I will support you through this and I want you to know that you are amazing
Oh my god this is so disgusting, I can't believe people can be THIS insensitive to someone who just drew themselves as a character they like. You're so brave for speaking up, I honestly could have never done it
I agree. This is some stupid shit coming from people ALL BECAUSE she drew a amazing art of herself as kiki from kikis delivery service! Black people and also black artist especially get targeted because of our skin color. And when we make art of ourselves and someone traces it or claims it as their own we are seen as the bad guys. It is fucking ridiculous 😠
They say all of this because they are behind a screen, just think of them as an entitled child trying so hard to ruin your day. In any case such as racism, hate, entitlement, etc.
@@darknova1552 She’s a grown woman and has proven time and time again to be perfectly capable of keeping herself steady in the face of DISGUSTING words and actions from small-minded people- this is called supporting her. Use “White Knight” properly next time please.
people will be like 'support black content creators' and then judge them for when they try to support themselves financially during a time when they're facing harassment :\
I am aware this was made a year ago but racism definitely hasn’t gone away unfortunately, I feel it is beyond unfair that anyone has to deal with this because younger people might not see that the Gacha creator in particular just wants attention and can really get their feelings hurt, and it really alarms me how you can get treated with this much disgusting stuff because of doing something u enjoy, the internet can twist things in so many ways so please stay safe and strong 💗
Hello. I'm Japanese, so my English may not be good. I just want to say that your art is pretty! I love Kiki too Having a different race should not be excluded from loving and drawing yourself like Ghibli characters. That's like saying Japan shouldn't have created Kiki's Delivery Service because it was based from Europe and we are not Europeans. I think anyone can create wonderful works as along as didn't disrespect one's culture or beliefs. You only drew Kiki as you, and there's nothing wrong with it. Keep being talented, you are strong and better than those people.
it’s not jsut black people, it’s every race, whites are getting hated on like fucking crazy. Asians are getting hated kinda. Blacks aren’t as bad as it was.
THIS. im so done with call out accounts that post people saying the most horrible shit but erasing the names, if you want to comment racist shit you better be reasy for the consecuences. you mess with gekko, you get pekko
My blood boils when I see those people. Some of them are trying to get attention and don't even think the things they are saying, but they fully ignore the fact that they damage some people's selfsteem. As for the ones who mean it- what is wrong with them? Literally what has to go through their minds for them to harrass a person FOR SOMETHING THEY DON'T CONTROL OR DECIDE? Hope the harrassment stops soon, you are very tallented and don't desserve that kind of treatment, new sub
This is why I always appreciate people who make art, ocs, etc. Of people of all skin color, religion, sexuality and other things WITHOUT the negative stereotypes. It’s always so uplifting to know that not everyone is bad :)
@Logan Roof go play ballistic retrospecter mode (on friday night funkin) until you get 0 misses. With just the arrow keys. Actually your fingers would break before then. That would make my day :D
Yea I mean the only reason I don't do that is because I'm still experimenting with pale skin tones, once I did try to make a black oc but it failed the skin was all wrong and nothing looked right, honesty I probably need pointers in making ocs T-T
@@anarchy3187 learn at your own pace! Nobody (I would hope anyway) is going to have a problem with you sketching a pale oc, and if you're ever doing a fanart, you can always colourpick the skin tone.
It's very sad that there are people out there that think racism is "funny" when talented artists like Thumin are getting hate for there skin color or simply drawing them selves as one of there favorite characters. I hope that you are doing ok now, and I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I can't wait for your next video.
Right😪 it’s dumb because they think racism is “dark humour “ and there “edgy” when there nothing but a bunch of pathetic low life’s with nothing going on for themselves and I hope they get karma for the things they said
@@basicnobody Bro- If whitewashings a thing then so is blackwashing- Blackwash may not be possible in the real world, but here online? it is possible. Whether what we're talking about is reality or not, BOTH are real.
I'm so sorry you go through this stuff, I dont know what it feels like to get hated on because of your art, and your skin color. But even then, I will always feel sympathy for people who get harrassed because of their skin♡ I hope more people learn to accept you and everyone else. Stay strong
Actually both get similar criticism and large sum of hate and "art fixes", it’s just with her case it is oddly extreme for no reason, it's why I quit Twitter and never post or touch Facebook because everyone was cruel and ignorant or stupid. I think places like Amino are good depending on the community you choose, some reddit places, and even Deviant art with the right crowds are fun places to express your art, maybe She can move to those places instead of these big social media sites that are filled with disgusting entitled people no matter where you go.
@@irkenpony17 i don't think white artists get targeted by racists for months on end? being made fun of and called cringe is different than this? get out of here with this false symmetry also she has a right to be on whatever social network she wants. It is the racists who should be facing consequences, and i command her for speaking up. What makes you think she wont be targeted on deviantart? a place with even less moderation? REDDIT? get a grip
@@irkenpony17 Redesigning a character I can see getting similar shade if im being generous but I don't ever see people attacking you on the basis of race of your draw yourself as a character as a white person. Obviously there are list of reasons why but most of them are a product of underlying racism.
@@ember9361 - I bet there are but no one cares because they are white artists getting backlash and not Asian or black artists, I even said her case is just very extreme for no reason, I didn't downplay her problem I said hers is very bad here because is IS. And all I gave were just tips and ideas because Twitter is a shithole and to me it is better to leave there than stay, it is just advice she won't even see so what is your problem?
@@brendonstephen1246 - I have seen cases where some character skin tone changes are done out of spite, but some are just Called out for no reason or out of no where, like when someone drew one of the characters of genshin impact who has a brown color skin, but the art of the character made by a fan was very bleached in lighting, and people called them racist and whitewashed when really it was just the lighting they used for the character. Idk, how would you feel if I drew myself as like, Madoka Kaname from the anime Madoka Magica, and I'm Mexican pretending to cosplay as one of my favorite characters from a favorite show in a drawing? Or a character who isn't light toned, what if I drew myself as Numbah 5 from KND because she is my second favorite member of the team and I love her personality? Which would be considered worse or which wouldn't matter or does it even matter what I like? With her she just drew herself as Kiki and suddenly all this happened because they mistook her for blackwashing a light toned character. She didn't so anything wrong. But what if a white person wants to be in the place of a black character, would the story be similar? And as for me Personally where exactly does a Mexican stand when the race war tends to be White against Black? Even Asian artists are sometimes thrown into the "white" category when facing backlash.. like these things are just stupid. What about other cultures? Or like I was thinking earlier in that Twitter is just a stupid hivemind where no one thinks or looks at the facts or try to make fun things negative.. and instead of going after the real racists they go after innocent fun people like her.
I'm a 14 Fijian/Maori artist, I'm more light skinned, but my dad has very dark skin, and ran into a racist while visiting America (hes in the Airforce), and it made me feel mad that the dude was so open about it Infront of my dad, yelling the n word and other offensive shit, but Thumin, your Kiki fanart was amazing, and the fact that people said all that stuff to you is horrible, your an amazing artist and an amazing person, don't let those racists stop you from doing what you love ❤️🤙✨
I hate it that n-word still gets so casually used in Finland - my father uses it too. He justifies it by saying that, "it's not like WE ever enslaved them or anything!" Like - what has that to do with anything?!
Honestly, your father is too consumed by an ignorant mindset. It doesn’t matter if you enslaved or not, it’s still not okay for anyone to say who isn’t black. Me as a black person myself, I try to limit myself a bit saying it 💀
I'm white but my best friend is black and our class is so racist! And they are really mean to her and I hate it! No one deserves to be treated like that! And my best friend is absolutely beautiful and a smart amazing person and they treat her like something disgusting!
Have you ever thought of becoming the quiet kid? I'm joking ofc, but this kind of shit makes me wanna crush skulls while the humans with said skulls are still alive. Ik ik, my thoughts are dark, but can you blame me?
"You're being so negative! You're complaining about your issues too much!" _Weird how there are so many issues to be talked about in the first place..._
YEAH! Weird that almost every black artist in any industry has to speak up about this or have their art make a statement on their race. Musician, actor, writer, or artist someway somehow you're required to make a statement. I dont live in the states or in a country with a wide racial diversity so when I say that people of color have to defend their existence constantly, its evident that there's an issue with racism that needs to be addressed.
Speak your truth! Not only does leaving the internet NOT help escape racism, but you also shouldn't have to leave a community you built online. It's a public platform, just as public as the real world is but that doesn't make racism more okay online than it is when it is offline. Racism is never okay and they are seriously trying to blame you?? Please I hope you don't let people silence you. You're literally amazing. You don't owe anyone your explanations or silence, you decide what is best to fight against this awful situation. We support you so much. Thank you for informing us of what has been going on! edit: just wanted to add kiki's delivery service is my favorite movie since I was 3 and i freaking love your art
I’m so so sorry that you had to / have to go through this. I cant even imagine how painful this must be. Try your best to push through amd keep fighting. You have millions of people on your side 🥰
Especially over a freaking SKIN COLOUR. This is bloody ridiculous, honestly. Like I can’t with this! How is any of this her fault, it’s not her trying to get attention - it’s her getting treated like crap by EVERYBODY else when she has been the victim the entire time.
@@goofyrat2938 exactly yet people have the audacity to say it's karma or her fault when it's not her fault in any way, shape, or form and it's not karma because one she didn't do anything wrong and two karma is cruel but karma doesn't make sure that people send death threats to you
Im really sorry people are attacking you for just a simple drawing, The way I see is that your'e drawings are perfectly fine and really cute!.Your'e a talented person ,and I dont think you should deserve hate
Im Japanese and I was so taken aback in this situation, you did no harm and drew yourself, Im so sad there are people attacking you. It wasn't even backwashing. Though I do disagree with the concept of "race bending" where you wash a character a different race, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with cosplaying, drawing yourself or making an oc, etc. and you did none of that! We will for sure appreciate your artwork, all the love from 🇯🇵!
I was born Biracial, My Mom is black and my dad is white (Like me) And seeing people attack Thumin all because of drawing of herself as Kiki makes me upset and angry.
I’m not saying what I am because I don’t like sharing my age or ethnicity or even my name kaylee is a fake name but anyways I’m mixed and I’m part white and so I like looking at things from both of the sides and see who’s each side feels, so that’s how I form my opinions, I look at it form both ways
@@kayleemoon._6045 same my Father is a black Italian and my Mother is a white Aussie And I try to be as emphatic and see both sides as much as possible.
racism has nothing to so with ignoring it. I have been called horrible names and ignored . . . it's still racism, and ignoring something doesn't mean it still doesn't hurt.
@@Christina4JesusChrist agreed. Racism has been shunned and hidden because no one wants to face the truth. Constantly ignoring the problems it's basically saying "I'm giving you the right to say anything you want because I'm not just as human to you."

It really is pathetic how dedicated some of these weirdos are. Like they try so hard to say it’s just jokes but they wouldn’t be mad if it was a joke. Keep doin what you’re doin dude.
Your drawings are so cool! As a artist my self i love all art (except offensive art.) People can be dumb sometimes (not all people.) You don't deserve any hate, AT ALL. Just remember, other people's opinions don't matter. The only opinion that matters is yours. If you feel like your art is prefect then its perfect! If you think your art needs work then it does (im not saying it does, honestly i think my art needs work 😅.) Me and all of your subscribers are supporting you! 💖💖💖💖
"stop acting it's not that bad ur just trying to be special" Oh, yes, of course. Because everyone wants to feel 'special' by having racial slurs and death threats thrown at them, obviously.
those people are cowards, now that they are being exposed for their trash behavior they will keep saying shit like "is not that bad" "hurr we are just trolls"
Its honestly confusing how people think its okay to slur someone just because they so call "Blackwashed" the character,But in reality she was just drawing herself as that character. | | | v
I am also a black finnish artist. I haven’t posted my art on very many places, but whenever I do post, there’s always some sort of racism given to me for some dumb ass reason.
@@octonoob I know, I honestly don’t understand. It’s the colour of your SKIN. That’s like discriminating against someone for having blue eyes??

Bruh I’m disgusted, how could they be so ignorant and simple-minded???? They barely even reach average iq for COMPLETELY misinterpreting your art 😭 I’m sorry you went through that.
@@mrvaporiz exactly!! she didnt say she was fixing or making the character not white because it was wrong. She was literally was DRESSING UP herself as the character
I’m also a black artist and I just have to say, why is this century still stuck on the fact black people exist? We have self driving cars but people are out here getting mad when a really kind and talented artist draws themself as a character they love? It’s crazy but keep being amazing
This century is stuck on the fact that people other than their skin color/race exist. It’s not only directed to dark skinned people, many Chinese or other people get treated differently too.
Exactly it just seems like now in days we get call racist slurs just for making our selfs into a favorite anime or cartoon of are selfs and I see now as a young black person who adores art I see what every black creator goes through and the racism and other stuff and I understand people have their/there on reasons but being dead wrong racist is just wrong!
@@Skyemondays People were raised to hate black people. That's why. Oh, they also see it as some sort of funny joke. I always encounter atleast 5 "NI-" jokes everyday.
I totally agree she’s really talented but this kind of implies that that’s the only reason she shouldn’t have to deal with this? Even if people aren’t talented in something they should be given more respect and human decency than this. I’m so sorry this is still ongoing Thumin :(
As a 14year old black artist this made me so sad to heard my kind are getting treated like this. Makes me hesitate with starting my own drawing account ,but since I've seen how strong Thumin is I hope I can mentally be like you if I ever face this situation. Ilysm💗💗
Please, don't allow yourself to be silenced by hate. If you want to put yourself out there, do it! Just remember that people can be horrible and be prepared to call them on their BS if you need to. You'll have plenty of support.
My god this was about to make me cry, best of luck out there!! I also agree with the few people in this comment section, don't hesitate to speak up for yourself!
as a black artist this aswell makes me sad , very sad. i quit cosplay for months because of racism and many people yelled slurs at me. im really sensitive and it hurt me very much. my girlfriends mom is also racist. i can never escape racism and it sometimes make me wish i was born a different race and i dont know what people want me to do about my race. ive even been called a monkey and a burned chicken nugget- this was kinda a rant sorry about that but idfk what people want me to do about my color sorry🧑🦯
You're not at all concerned with the very real possibility that she's being disingenuous? The sponsorship, the giveaway, the shilling, it all comes off like an apology video that's monetized.
You're the best artist ever! You inspire me every day and encourage me to do more art! This almost made me cry having to know you are going through this. but all your friends, fans, and family support you, love you and will help you get through this. This comment was posted 2 years after the video, and I see you still must go through this. I hope we can put a smile on your face to get through these horrible days.
IM NOT EVEN BLACK BUT AS A ARTIST THIS MAKES ME ENRAGED LIKE DUDE STOP ATTACKING HER JUST BECAUSE SHES DEFENDING HERSELF ok but like as a artist im actually amazed with your art like thats amazing kinda jealous about how good you can draw humans
I found that I always had issue with the “just ignore them, they’ll get bored” mentality. Like I feel that these kinds of people will just get more and more bold because they see that there’s no consequence to them saying trash.
Like, even if they do get bored of harassing a person they'd still harass people in the future. Why? Cause they have the platform to perform such actions with no consequences and that's really how people gonna be. It's like a game of pass the ball but the cyberbullies in this case are the ball and everybody are victims. You don't know when you'll be next.
Most of the time they're looking for attention. Ignoring them and continuing to be my normal self has, in my experience, bored them out or frustrated them. Which is rlly funny to watch
@@silly_.rabbit2 Yeah, I do understand the religious part of consequences. Like in Christianity they have hell to punish them as well however in life god is not going to walk to your house and judge you, you have to pass on in order to experience such treatment.
Aww! That drawing you made is too sweet! and I'm going to be fully honest here, this video made me cry. Nobody deserves to be treated such a way and I really hope things are better for you now!
Sis... Please come join us at the Ghibli community here on Reddit. I promise you'll be safe there. You're supported there. We have tons of artists just like you who understand what you're going through. Shame on the art community for treating you this way and an even bigger shame on Instagram and Twitter for taking their side instead of getting you the help you need. You don't deserve this at all. You're too much of a sweetheart for this. You know, you've been one of those creators I followed and thoroughly admired since the very beginning. Especially as someone who while not POC, grew up extensively within the community and who takes a lot of inspiration from the communities I grew up when writing and drawing my own characters.
@@fartedonmyfamlastnight2243 Ghibli short for Studio Ghibli is an Animation company that originates from Japan, most famous for My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away and in subject with this video, Kiki's Delivery Service which the character Kiki is from. Their stuff is really stinking good and a very well established part of the Anime community, especially if you're generally looking for stuff that's either really mcfricking wholesome or really mcfricking wholesome with a side of depression. Unless it's Grave of the Fireflies, that one's just straight up depression. Oh, and a very tiny bit of childhood nightmare fuel in some cases. But I highly recommend you check them out. Not to mention checking out the community as well as the community as a whole is pretty darn wholesome. At least among the folks I know such as the folks on Reddit and Instagram.
@@fartedonmyfamlastnight2243 Same here mostly, even as an animation nut. But they're sort of closer to stuff like Anne with an E and European Folktale inspired styles ala Cartoon Saloon than anything else is best I can describe it. If not a bit darker than Cartoon Saloon. Rather than the overly bombastic, overwhelming style and traits typically seen in anime today. So if you're into that stuff they're still a worth watch for non anime fans too just for the gorgeous backgrounds and storytelling alone. No seriously, these films coined the term Scenery Porn before the term even existed, and for pretty good reason.
Can’t an artist be able to draw themselves without being harassed and giving death threats? That’s literally all you did!! You drew yourself as Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service. You did what almost every other artist has done before without a hitch. Dammit that’s so fucking messed up. I absolutely love that drawing you made of yourself and think you’re an incredible artist. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise!! 💕✨
you decide to not speak up: "Come on! you have to speak up!" when you decide to speak up: "Just stfu and ignore it all, its that easy" honestly we can't even do anything without getting judged
what's the moral of it : People will judge you badly no matter what you do example ( I'm not hating ) too fat go on a diet or, too fat work out more too skinny are you even eating or, too skinny eat more no matter what you do people will judge you so just be yourself no one can tell you what to do if you don't want it yourself
Bless you I hope your situation is better now and I can't imagine going through that but I'm glad you were resilient and also your drawing wasn't disgusting.
It is tragic, isn't it? People by default are already aware of the differences in people's skin colour and physical sex, but then the rhetoric from our parents and other adults shapes us into seeing them as lesser than us.
This just INFURIATES ME! As a white person, i NEVER understood why people have to be super hateful to another person who has a different colored skin. I loved the Kiki drawing N WORD IS A SLUR. It. HURTS people. People used it to DEGRADE POC people. I really hope the hate you get ends soon, and i am EXTREMELY disappointed in Instagram. You never deserved the hate at all :'( Edit: you deserve all the support. And the fanarts were amazing and i feel inspired to draw!!
@@stopmakingrepliestomycomme3991 Sadly it’s not that simple. A lot of people are racist because their parents were and taught them false things about black people. Honestly I’ve given up on hope for America to get better because this country I live in is simply a hellhole

Because those idiots really just want to make people suffer. It's sad and upsetting
They're dumb people like that like bruh the only thing the can say is racist shit nothing else like give a better reason and without the racist shit like how long can you go without being racist, 1 millisecond?
Yes, that is the most sensible thing to do, and is definitely not hypocritical. Not at all. It makes so much sense.

First 2min I was thinking "was this blackwashing problem." until I saw the "I drew MYSELF as a Kiki." Yeah, fair game. Many artist do that and they really cant censor themselves. If they have different color, different hairstyle, different body style, heck even the gender is free here. Its the artist pretty much cosplaying the character in art. You really can't change what you look like so Thumin did nothing wrong in here.

It honestly sounds like when a kid is bullied and the theacher's respond is "I know but could you please not bother me and quietly get over it", or "you ask for it for pissing off the bullies?" Like, the problem is not going away, you are just ignoring it.
LEGIT LOL
The advice I got was "just walk away", "ignore it", "be the bigger person", "they thrive off attention"... all while all the adults in my life did _nothing_ and expected me to do all the work to stop these bullies.
I can't ignore a punch in the face, I can't ignore being kicked by every boy in my class just for being a tomboy. I can't ignore being called anorexic and flat chested by the person who was supposed to be my best friend, when we were 7 years old.
So I completely understand how useless and lazy this advice is, and how the only way to stop it is to speak out. I did- plenty of times- and still got ignored, so it was time for action. I left that school and swore I would never willingly go there again.
Oh, yeah, and because he was enabled so much my main bully went on to stab a man to death in a pub. So, you know, stop victim blaming and enabling abuse- it can literally result in murder because they never become better, just worse.
@Otneimica I live there, and I'm constantly in fear like real fear so i decide not to talk to anyone because what if i make them mad and they kill me
@@beththedarkmage3359 really tho all through kindergarten to middle school they just say “walk away” it’s ridiculous how they can be like that when they used to be our ages. Seriously they’re just saying that because they don’t want to deal with it they know how it will affect us, can affect us and is right now. They’ll just say “be the bigger person and walk away” but they just don’t care. And what happens when they follow you everywhere you go? When they use every fiber of their being to make you miserable? Ignore it? They just want attention? Of course they do but that’s not all it is. “Haters gonna hate” yeah, yeah . But annoying can be more than just annoying, it will eventually become dangerous, people like that will cross the line and see how far they can go before you break. It’s really just messed up and unacceptable in any situation.

I toatally agree. Its like the obssesion with painting "nazi" and the swastika everywhere. Why? Idk people think theyre cool if they paint and say slurs and things when they shouldn't?
Erase it and write White Nazism instead, more fitting.
And everyone in my school (and the school I went to before) is calling others gay like some kind of insult?
They're throwing around the word "homo" (gay) to insult others. What??
@@stranger-xg2si that happened in my school too, but not everyone was saying it left right and centre-
just some girl came to sit with me and my friends and said “that’s so gay” about smt (idek) and we turned around and told her off, then said that she shouldn’t say it because most of us are part of the lgbtq+ community or allies and plus it’s just uncalled for.
Idk why people think it’s cool to say anything like this because it just isn’t.
And it probably doesn't help that our education system doesn't really want to highlight anything "controversial" because politics

For everyone talking about her sponsorship, she deserves to make money of a video that was emotionally hard for her to make. Shes just telling her story and making bank off of it.
Seriously. I'll admit I thought it was weird at first, but even I was smart enough to realize that wasn't the point of the video, and I'm a whole dumbass.
But honestly now, screw it. She absolutely deserves that money
i think what fucked people off was the fact that she put a sponsor in a video about a serious topic, maybe it seemed off for some people
anyways i have no problem with that at all since the whole POINT of the video stays the same, no matter what sponsor
I mean isn't it also a good thing since videos like that one will be censored by youtube bc she speaks about sensitive topics? a sponsor will help the video in the YT algorithm and hopefully spread some awareness
As she should!!!!

Hello. I'm Japanese, so my English may not be good.
I just want to say that your art is pretty! I love Kiki too
Having a different race should not be excluded from loving and drawing yourself like Ghibli characters.
That's like saying Japan shouldn't have created Kiki's Delivery Service because it was based from Europe and we are not Europeans.
I think anyone can create wonderful works as along as didn't disrespect one's culture or beliefs.
You only drew Kiki as you, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Keep being talented, you are strong and better than those people.

it's why I quit Twitter and never post or touch Facebook because everyone was cruel and ignorant or stupid.

And all I gave were just tips and ideas because Twitter is a shithole and to me it is better to leave there than stay, it is just advice she won't even see so what is your problem?
@@brendonstephen1246 - I have seen cases where some character skin tone changes are done out of spite, but some are just Called out for no reason or out of no where, like when someone drew one of the characters of genshin impact who has a brown color skin, but the art of the character made by a fan was very bleached in lighting, and people called them racist and whitewashed when really it was just the lighting they used for the character.
Idk, how would you feel if I drew myself as like, Madoka Kaname from the anime Madoka Magica, and I'm Mexican pretending to cosplay as one of my favorite characters from a favorite show in a drawing? Or a character who isn't light toned, what if I drew myself as Numbah 5 from KND because she is my second favorite member of the team and I love her personality? Which would be considered worse or which wouldn't matter or does it even matter what I like? With her she just drew herself as Kiki and suddenly all this happened because they mistook her for blackwashing a light toned character. She didn't so anything wrong. But what if a white person wants to be in the place of a black character, would the story be similar? And as for me Personally where exactly does a Mexican stand when the race war tends to be White against Black? Even Asian artists are sometimes thrown into the "white" category when facing backlash.. like these things are just stupid. What about other cultures?
Or like I was thinking earlier in that Twitter is just a stupid hivemind where no one thinks or looks at the facts or try to make fun things negative.. and instead of going after the real racists they go after innocent fun people like her.
I'm a 14 Fijian/Maori artist, I'm more light skinned, but my dad has very dark skin, and ran into a racist while visiting America (hes in the Airforce), and it made me feel mad that the dude was so open about it Infront of my dad, yelling the n word and other offensive shit, but Thumin, your Kiki fanart was amazing, and the fact that people said all that stuff to you is horrible, your an amazing artist and an amazing person, don't let those racists stop you from doing what you love ❤️🤙✨

It is tragic, isn't it? People by default are already aware of the differences in people's skin colour and physical sex, but then the rhetoric from our parents and other adults shapes us into seeing them as lesser than us.
Awww :( this comment made me sad, people can be so harsh
This just INFURIATES ME! As a white person, i NEVER understood why people have to be super hateful to another person who has a different colored skin.
I loved the Kiki drawing
N WORD IS A SLUR. It. HURTS people.
People used it to DEGRADE POC people.
I really hope the hate you get ends soon, and i am EXTREMELY disappointed in Instagram.
You never deserved the hate at all :'(
Edit: you deserve all the support. And the fanarts were amazing and i feel inspired to draw!!
Yeah! .. Let's stop being racist!
Agreed, Big words make big changes
@@stopmakingrepliestomycomme3991 Sadly it’s not that simple. A lot of people are racist because their parents were and taught them false things about black people. Honestly I’ve given up on hope for America to get better because this country I live in is simply a hellhole
@@echothefreak9396 I don't know, i don't have any high hopes to make a change for a living either. I mean, there is more and more bad people everyday, you can't really make everything good with the power of friendship and make everybody not idiots anymore.. i guess you're kinda right.
Poc and Black aren't interchangable! The nword is used towards black people. Poc includes other minorities of race
