Cultural appropriation

Participating in and depicting cultures other than your own can be very fun and a great learning experience, but please make sure you represent the cultures respectfully in your depictions! Consider doing research before drawing and designing characters in order to avoid misrepresentation or caricatures. If you have a friend from said culture it can be good to ask them after doing your own research. Any blatantly disrespectful depictions of cultures, especially minority cultures, are not allowed on Art Fight, and could be removed at moderator discretion.
