So, okay. I know I’ve said I’m done with talking about this subject. But there’s just a few more things I need to get off my chest - not just for myself, but on behalf of a lot of people. Specifically my friends and followers because now you guys are being attacked and called…

Lol i’ve seen people calling tanning racist, tumblr really has a special buncha people.

Reasonable opinions regarding race? On MY tumblr? Well I never.

But seriously, an excellent read.

Haha, I am going on my own tanning adventure (partially personal experimentation, since I’ve always avoided the sun and partially) for my Korra cosplay in the fall, and I was legitimatley concerned about tumblr getting up in my face about not having the ‘right’ skin tone ‘naturally’ (which is silly, because whatever colour my skin takes on via UV exposure is, of course, natural).

Then I remembered I’m pretty much IRL water tribe and the internet can suck it.
