POC Morute + A Rant ♡
ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ As a POC I've noticed in not only just morute community but also its sister communities such as angelcore, coquette, ect. is that it was a seemingly obsession with extremely pale skin. This is especially prevalent in morute with the want to look "as pale as a ghost", however it's also praised in other communities for being "so angelic". I really just find this wrong imo due to it being reminding of how for the longest time POC were put down (and are still being put down) for having darker/tanner complexions while pale skin was seen as some sort of "angelic, holy" skin. Yes, it's alright to find pale skin nice and pretty, but you also have to understand the history behind putting pale skin on such a pedestal and the implications that carries, especially in history.
ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ I also feel like this sets up an unhealthy beauty standards, since most people (unless you're born with extremely pale skin) have to bleach their skin in order to reach that standard, which has many negative health effects.
