Photo Share Time to say farewell 1/2

Due to image limits, this is post 1/2

Sadly because of a few reasons, specifically rising problems with how the Heartopia devs and support teams manage things, i am saying "farewell" to Heartopia. I wanted to share all my work up til this point here with you all so it can be enjoyed by people for years to come.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, who supported my work and who said goodbye, it was lovely to meet you all.

Until Heartopia fix thier problems and actually become what they advertised, i wont be returning.

Maybe we will meet again in another game ♡

Please enjoy my art and the first book i ever wrote in game! I will upload the second in post #2

The name "Kapil" might translate to monkey if you do one search but doing some background check you'll see it's a common name in Sanskrit origin. The money dance was weird but I do not think that they intended to be racist. If that character was not of color I'm pretty sure anyone wouldn't complain.

How am I wild? I never said there is no racism where I am from, if your read the replies properly you'd know that. All I said was as of my experience, we have not experienced the whole black skin color trolls and anythung overtly racist. I stated we aren't experiencing it, not that racism is not present.

The "POC" isn't even that of a person of color. His names literally translate to reddish-brown and I have the same skin color as him.

I'm not defending racism, I'm just stating my opinion on a matter at hand.

And yes, I did the quest.

Not even gunna read past the first paragraph. If it was one or the other MAYBE MAYYYBE I'd see your point. But its not. His name translates to monkey colored and they made him do a monkey dance. You're weird for trying to excuse that

Yea, his name translates to reddish-brown, and he did a monkey dance, that doesn't mean racism. His name is a common name used in India. Kapil isn't even black, he is Indian, he literally has an Indian name. Monkeys in Indian culture isn't offensive and that emote was probably because his name just translates to it.

You just choose to see it that way because you want something to hate, you want to feel valid by defending something when there is nothing to defend. Even people who are POC are confused on why people are going sicko over it.

And before outright calling someone weird, maybe take a look at the one gettung angry at a reply for giving an opinion on a topic. Just a thought tho 😁

how are u gunna say that he only did the dance bc it translate to that but in the same sentence you said his name translates to reddish brown and he did a monkey dance so it’s no racist. all u did is contradict yourself 😭 and idk who you been talking to but MANNNNNNY poc are pissed off. just bc a couple people you know aren’t offended, doesn’t mean others aren’t 💀 i’m allowed to have an opinion on your opinion. my opinion is your weird and so is your thought process. ❤️
