Eh, I feel like it could work in the right circumstances. The only real problem is lack of subtlety/restraint on the part of the author.

Reimagining characters as not particularly attractive does not mean you have to make them lizard goblins

A better example of re-imagining characters without them becoming near-unrecognisable or bizarre looking.

I love/hate artists who draw fan art of characters that looks absolutely 100% nothing like the character and you only know it's them because of a particular accessory or distinctive facial feature.

it's really insulting that with images like these, making a comparatively ethnic character inoffensive and "normal" is to make them a white american/european/caucasian with darker skin. anything of the other culture is deemed intolerable and removed

Eh, I see it as trying to translate a cast of anime girls into the style of Western animation. Which tends to take pains to be as racially inclusive as possible, it makes sense and is consistent.

Anime takes place in this Simpsons-like world, where race doesn't really exist in the narrative unless it is specifically brought up. Even then, it tends to be brought up within the context of nationality, which is more important to a racially homogeneous nation like japan

I mean, I don't think there's that many silver haired black people living in Japan but anime would have you believe otherwise

A lot of anime fans are themselves PoC and while anime characters are mostly Asian, that doesn't really translate in typical anime animation. Diversifying characters in a more western way is a harmless expression of relation to the characters they feel close to. Just look at all the black Goku stuff.

Not necessarily

We mexicans would rather see Goku (or any character we like) participating on the same kind of activities we enjoy/go through.

I didn't say re-racing characters was necessary, just that it shouldn't be as mysterious as dumb nerds make it out to be.

It's being marked and unmarked, see for example: https://www.en.matt-thorn.com/single-post/2016/04/16/Do-Manga-Characters-Look-White

quote:

In the case of the U.S., and indeed the entire European-dominated world, the unmarked category in drawn representations would be the face of the European. The European face is, as it were, the default face. Draw a circle, add two dots for eyes and a line for a mouth, and you have, in the European sphere, a European face. (More specifically, you would have a male European face. The addition of eyelashes would make it female.) Non-Europeans, however, must be marked in drawn or painted representations, just as they commonly are in daily conversation (e.g., “I have this Black friend who...”).
.....
The Japanese are not Other within their own borders, and therefore drawn (or painted or sculpted) representations of, by and for Japanese do not, as a rule, include stereotyped racial markers. A circle with two dots for eyes and a line for a mouth is, by default, Japanese.
