while we’re on the subject, nintendo needs to stop whitewashing marina in promotional art

like look at this shit

like… THIS IS MARINA’S ACTUAL SKINTONE

whoever does the promotional art needs to get it together and stop whitewashing her.

I dont wanna start any discourse about it on my blog, but do you know anything about light, color and stuff? If her skin is paler than her skin in game, i think nintendo wanted to give a pastel-ish effect to the art. For example, look at the halloween splatfest official art. It supposed to be a dark theme, so marina’s skin is darker, and pearl’s one too. But since the others splatfest are more about « happy stuff » they prob wanted to give pastel and cute color to the art. Its only my opinion tho, i dont think its white washing.

lighting and color theory arent excuses to white wash a black character holy shit
