Green flat headed android in the back is Old King's NEXT Lisa from ACfA. It's an HD-HOLOFERNES head piece and Lisa is the only NEXT to have it in green with green lights with a red stabilizer. Tagging as such.
Yes I am offended seeing "fan"art of Nadia being portrayed as white when she is dark-skinned because as a black girl who loves Nadia, it makes me feel alienated seeing clear racism in my community. I'm not trying to make it anyone else's problem you guys are just racist -_- it's really not hard to wrap your head around why it upsets me as much as it does
Not meaning to hurt your opinion, but this is a public art gallery. Danbooru don't take down posts based on ONE single personal complaint, your opinion otherwise, especially when it's a legacy media. Danbooru don't erase the past because someone don't like it; as long as it is compliant with the upload rules it stays.

You were already given a solution to this: use your blacklist so you won't see it anymore. If someone were complaining about a character's skin color being darkened, they'd be told the same thing.
I will say Nadia was one of the first anime I watched, and I love Nadia and her character design. She is definitely canonically dark-skinned, and that fact is important to her storyline (even if she turns out not to be African, Middle Eastern, Indian, etc.).
That said, the way she is depicted, even officially, is all over the place. Even her official character designer, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki has drawn her with a lighter complexion from time to time (e.g. post #7770685). It probably stems from the same reason as the fact that her hair is straight (her very initial design featured kinky hair). It was easier for Japanese animators to draw someone more similar to people they were used to drawing. From that mindset it isn't surprising a Japanese animator or artist might conceive of her more as Okinawan in appearance than say Namibian. I don't think these people are intentionally white-washing, they are simply drawing from what they know.

Moon is definitely not good at dealing with pressure. Meanwhile, Tower remains remarkably unperturbed by having her ass handed to her earlier. She really is the Unbreakable.
