Keep in mind, this was before I hated charizard
The people who say that jynx is a racist product this is actually projection to how they see a black face in media
Lets make an example that made a girl pink someone says that this is gender appropriation they are actually projecting because they’re complaining about a problems that they think is an actual occurrence. For you to complain about something as color proves that you have the image of that person in your head. After all you do it see any other color as problematic. And the only reason why this mentality of black is there is because of something that has changed our depiction of black, blackface.
Blackface caused people to have a mentality of blackface = bad but also caused people to think that “a black face = bad”. This causes a whole different type of stigmatization that is similar to racism but for different reasons. Ravi sum was done out ignorance or the fear of the unknown. This problem is due to past historical experiences along with ignorance.
Jynxs although to some of her inspiration is based on Japanese folklore. Her design is for manly the body based on Petra singers who share similar attire and similar builds to jynx. And the face and hair is based on the trend ganguro. Though it does translate to black face the purpose was similar to many other trends to rebel against society. Though it might be a black face it wansn’t blackface. Because blackface is done with the intent of mockery to Africans and the people of that decent.
In conclusion perception is everything. It can change somthing from being a neutral thing to a completely horrible thing.
Is it better or worse than Kantoian Jynx
I mean, it still has to do with Pokémon. I know it might get me banned since jynx’s old design was based on a racist stereotype. Better safe than sorry I guess?

If you know Pokémon like I do, you will be familiar with the Jynx controversy.
Unlike most other Pokémon, who are clearly more animalistic in nature and design, Jynx has a strangely humanoid appearance.
The character Jynx, Pokémon #124, has decidedly human features: jet-black skin, huge pink lips, gaping eyes, a straight blonde mane and a full figure, complete with wiggly hips. Put another way, Jynx resembles an overweight drag queen incarnation of Little Black Sambo, a racist stereotype from a children’s book long ago purged from libraries.
It appeared in holiday Hi-Jynx, too.
As a result, Jynx’s design (and Smoochum) was changed forever, becoming the purple skinned pokemon that freaks everyone out.
…
Idk I thought I might try do this from time to time, with Fanpun doing their daily thing and Zelda doing their weekly thing.
Idk if I should make a ping list, but if anyone is interested i can make one.

(These are just my personal opinions, you don't have to agree with me! Very few people have the same least faves!)
Delibird because it literally has holiday colors and gives presents
Mega Sceptile has that Christmas Tree tail
Sawsbuck (winter form) and Wrdeer are pretty much reindeers
Abomnasnow just feels like a pokemon santa would use
And Jynx would be included since she was actually one of Santa's pokemon in the anime.
