Really? That's disgusting. Did Tapas acquiesce? How shameful.

My novel is full of black leads, the majority of my cast is LGBTQIA+ (especially on the Ace spectrum), and I'm from the Netherlands but I write in English anyways. And I myself am mixed Asian/black and a panromantic demi.

Nah, don't worry. It was already gone before that whole thing. I kinda wish the black history month creators were advertise a bit more. ButI enjoy threads like this

That's what's up! I make the webcomic MagicalMashup! and I'm all about that BIPOC as I'm black and I also love me some body positivity. The lead of my comic is a fat black gal.

@TapasCommunityTeam can you fill us in on where the creators of colour/diversity section went on the front page (and why it's gone)?

After the BLM protests have settled, I don't see it anymore and after visiting this page the past several days, your entire front page is regularly white/fair-skinned people only.

How are you staying committed to diversity now? How are you staying consistently committed to BLM and uplifting underrepresented/marginalized voices in 2021? As you can see in this thread, there are a lot of talented creators here from all over the world, of many different ethnicities, backgrounds, and cultures. I've been searching on here trying to find answers to these questions but haven't found anything yet. Thank you.

Holy sh*t do I ever love this. Your main character is drawn so beautifully, just delicious. Subscribed!

Thanks for clarifying. At least we can all come party in this thread and hopefully, lots more folks come check it out too!

Hello, I am a south-east Asian, and I have written a book which has entirely black cast. It is a fantasy story set in a fictional West-African world.

TY-TY I'm out here trying to do the dang thing haha !

It's fun! I really like the name Liriak for some reason too lol. Subscribed!

I am Bulgarian, born and raised in Bulgaria. My novel is inspired by Slavic folklore and mythology.

Thanks for this opportunity, I think it's a really lovely idea. I'm personally queer and from a small east europian country and in my comic the whole main cast is either poc or lgbtq+ - or both! It's a slice-of-life with elements of mystery u3u

Nice! I visited the Netherlands a few years ago. Had a really good time + it's so beautiful out there!

wh_vigo 2021-03-04 16:30:10 UTC #65

Very cool comic! I'm Black, multilingual, and neurodivergent so I'm so glad you've made the decision to cut out the inspiration porn stuff persons with disabilities often get labelled with. Totally subscribed!

Hello! I'm so happy you made this thread! I'm always looking for content with diverse characters!

My novel has many diverse side/supporting characters from around the world with very different backgrounds, though, it does center around the main couple who are Korean! There's also LGBTQ+ characters later on in the story! I hope you can check it out sometime!
