I hate all white Lavellans, but I think I wouldn’t hate them (at least as much) if they didn’t have vallaslin.

Like. Why would you think its OK to have your character wear indigenous tattoos…. and then make them white?

Nothing in this post makes any sense.

Your about me says you’re white, but you’re going on about hating white Lavellans for a reason I can’t discern. Then you’re like “I would hate them less if they didn’t have vallaslin” but they’re not…appropriating indigenous tattoos because vallaslin are indigenous to all elves regardless of race. It makes especially less sense to me because “race” as our understanding of it doesn’t seem to exist in Thedas, except for where the writers internalized racism bleeds over into shit like their treatment of Vivienne and the brown LIs.
