    Of course it was “fan art”. It’s the same shit “fans” have been doing to minority characters in films and video games since forever.

      Whitewashing of culture is absorbing another culture by renaming shit, such as wanting local dishes but refusing to learn the language so all the food becomes a generalized term, like curry.

      What the “fan” did was absolutely pure racism; to remove Asian people and replace them with white.

          No, they didn’t.
