Description
First off, Happy Holidays!Next...welp, I want to do some drawings promoting kindness and good-will considering what sort of world we're rolling into (and what America is facing).
Whether you disagree with me or not about the state of America right now, we should at least agree that kindness can vanquish hatred.
Sure, where there's light there'll be darkness, but we can't let the darkness overwhelm us. We have to keep hope in our hearts and souls, and never give up.
We're fighting against hate and intolerance; be it racism against people of color or discrimination against those with disabilities.
Acts of kindness will be the light in the darkness that America, and the world, desperately needs right now; not just for the holiday season, but for as long as it takes.
Even if it's something as simple as holding the door for someone, or more complicated such as standing up to someone shouting racial slurs in a store (yes, I saw that video), or helping a bullied schoolmate...from the smallest of actions to the largest ones, kindness is the light which will save us.
At least, that's what I hope.
(Characters from left to right: Kairy, Kon, TJ; and yes, Kon is genderless. I often draw Kon as Milo or Miles, or in a male-like form, but Kon's character is genderless)

"We're fighting against hate and intolerance; be it racism against people of color or discrimination against those with disabilities."
Don't forget sexism against people of different genders.

Racism against white people is a thing, you know

Why are you deflecting?
There is no such thing as reverse racism, and I highly question the moral beliefs of anyone who says it's real.
When I was a teenager, I was once called a white racial slur by a teen of color I didn't know while at school. Thing is, I didn't feel threatened or prejudiced against due to that; The reason was because I was standing with a couple of my friends (one was white, and another was Latino), and none of them were the target of this person. I don't consider myself a victim of racism due to that incident, especially because the teen was expelled because a teacher had heard the entire thing.
This article explains about the myths of perceived reverse racism and why it's impossible. I'd highly suggest you read it very carefully.

“One drop raises the ocean”
I can’t remember where I heard this, but in this crazy world it does a lot to keep this in perspective

This time I read the caption, and agree with most of this.
So Kon is genderless, but we still call Kon "he" right. I don't like calling people or other live creatures "It" I say "He" until I know what gender the creature is.

Yip; you can call Kon "he". Kon was mostly used for male-gender roles, so even I refer to Kon as "he" most of the time.

This is a really nice piece of art you did. Very awe-inspiring!!

Also, who are Kon and TJ owned by?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They're also mine. Kon was the original character (he came into existence just after I first came up with Kairy) who eventually became "Miles" for a roleplay site, and then I came up with TJ a couple years ago.
