    No that is not what the tan people are arguing. They're saying that just because she is slightly darker than pasty white does not mean she can't be white. Have you ever seen a Greek man? It's why I linked the photo of Swedes who tanned. Because it's very easy to project your ideas of race, it does not, however, make you correct nor does it mean suddenly that 2P is poc. There is nothing wrong with projecting what you want to see, what is wrong is projecting your ideas of race onto a foreign company that has its own set of values. That is what tan people are saying. What we care about is the demonization of a company because they offended some western players.

    Ma'am the person who was posting at the time was making it a race issue. And I posted that pic as to show how arbitrary it was to claim that 2P being slightly brown equaled her being poc and making this a whitewashing issue. You erroneously misjudged what I said. And it most certainly wasn't facetious. I know the posts were removed, but I was attacked for not being 'poc' and called all sorts of things. Fine, I honestly don't care if you don't reply. My point simply is that 2P is not all that dark and white people can tan and look brown. That is all.
