what do you mean in your bio when you say if you see and character that's been white washed let me know?
that if i make a poc character look white or whitewash their features (lighten their features), to message me so i can fix the cap. i tell my fellow uploaders that if they spot any caps that have been whitewashed to not upload them, and, optionally, let me know which caps are whitewashed so i can re-edit the cap.
or if i think i’m whitewashing a character, but i’m not entirely sure, i throw the edit at one of my uploaders to let me know if i’ve done it or not; i can then adjust the edit accordingly if i have done so. (as i’m working on caps for a long time i start adjusting to the colouring used for that particular batch edit, or my eyes get sore and strained and i tend to need a second opinion on things bc of that. or if i don’t. i usually try to catch myself when i upload caps myself or as i mentioned earlier, by having one of my uploaders catch it too.) but in spite all of that, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen that caps with whitewashed characters don’t get uploaded. and getting called out lets me fix the problem, and so that i can apologise for whitewashing the character.

here’s a good, brief overview of what whitewashing looks like in graphics/gifs. here’s a good call-out on why whitewashing is bad regardless of “intent” and people still need to own up to it and not do the thing, or correct their mistakes. overall, this blog is good for not white-washed edits and examples of the ones that are.
