Hey so I’m an ashkenazi Jew and I love when people draw Kyle to look like… pretty much everyone in my goddamn synagogue. It’s not racist, I think it’s awesome to get representation in that kind of way lol.

Seriously. I am also glad he looks the way he would look in so much fanart. Its a distinguished look IMO.

Plus look at his parents. Even if they never said that nose comment I would have inevitably drawn him with one of their noses because they’re his parents and that’s how it WORKS.

Regardless of whether or not he has his Mother’s nose, he’s not gonna have a small european nose my dudes.

It’s cool if you wanna draw Kyle with a tiny uke nose, that’s your prerogative, but don’t point fingers at people that make the choice to draw him with accuracy. Because it ain’t racist to draw him with a nose that belongs to him.

..this is the weirdest fuckin discourse lol

I hate that the only people that draw Kyle with a Roman nose are Kyman shippers. It’s like they’re trying to make his traditionally jewish features more prominent, but only so they can portray him as this “poor jew boy” compared to Cartman. It’s not trying to draw him accurately for the sake of representation, its because they want to show how different the “jew” and the “gentile” are. It’s fucking disgusting.

i think it’s also a part of a broader problem w a lot of artists either deliberately not wanting to or not wanting to learn how to give ethnic characters ethnic features – you see it a lot w token too; i can only picture a handful of art i’ve seen of token where he actually has textured hair or even dark skin for that matter. kyle, for whatever goddamn reason, is by and large the main target of the yaoi treatment so i think a lot of that ties into how he’s been drawn – really soft and small, straight or only slightly wavy hair, your typical ~sexy femmeboi uwu~ stuff, and i know there are lots of people who are adamant about kyle not having an aquiline nose out of the belief that it makes him less attractive 

there’s been some arguments in the past mainly surrounding the line in “the list” where gerald remarks that kyle has sheila’s nose being played only as a joke and not being taken as canon, but i think it misses the entire point of that conversation in that gerald and sheila weren’t trying to further kyle’s insecurity about how he looks; they were trying to comfort him. what reason would his parents have to 1.) lie about his appearance to him or 2.) mean that kyle takes after his mother in that regard as a means to be malicious

i wouldn’t say the -only- artists who draw kyle like that are ky//man shippers though. it’s how i always draw him (or, unless this is also veiled criticism towards me as – how i try to draw him) and i’ve seen the tide shifting away from tiny little button-nose kyle recently, but i both agree and really hate that this is a trend i’ve seen in a lot ky//man art – there is very, very often some kind of visible highlight of the fact that kyle is jewish whether it be in kyle having a more prominent nose (that is also sometimes grossly exaggerated in a racist caricature for this exact purpose) or by him wearing a pendant of the star of david/having the star of david on his clothing in some manner (which in this context is. yikes) or by, even more brazenly, having cartman dressed in full-out nazi regalila. it’s obviously to play into the whole forbidden romance angle in the most depraved way possible and the inherent wrongness in a relationship between the two of them and it really is tone-deaf and disgusting. lmao

This anon really like

“guys stop drawing people with features that imply a different ethnicity.

It’s racist”

I don’t like that flower throwing up au thing.

They should throw up insects matching who they’re in love with…

Like Eric would throw up bees, cute looking but fierce when they need to be. People love them and want to protect them. Like Kyle…

Kyle would throw up spiders. Can look cute or can look terrifying. Crucial to their environment but still generally hated and only a handfull of people understand them. Like Eric…

throw up AUs shouldn’t be a thing
