Was it ever explained why these chicks were blue?
Was it ever explained why these chicks were blue?
they were too ashy and poor
legit, they were ashy
it's cold in ny and they ain't got no jackets
They live in Cali.
They are blue because they are canon ashy.
Ashy
I thought penny became blue from doing bad deeds like in star wars you get pale and yellow
ashy
they were crips
They needed a way to show that these were the bad characters and everyone else was already black.
Holy hell, someone needs to show them what lotion is.
White people don't know what ashy is, so they keep making this thread.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't they do an episode where they tried to redeem the chubbier sister and they ended up getting rid of the ashiness and she just had a normal skin color?
Dey ashy
Nah, she was still ashy even with the makeover.
kek
they were ashy skinned and the character designers of proud family were flaming racists.
>Also all of Penny's 'friends' are either traitors or spineless
I could have sworn her skin was normal after the makeover, but it's been more than a fucking decade since I saw an episode of the Proud Family.
Argyria? Maybe their drinking water has trace amounts of silver in it?
Nah. I also remember their parents were Jamaican.
I’m white but I went to school with a bunch of black kids growing up. A lot of times, black girls would randomly ask me if I had any lotion on me. I thought it was kinda weird at first until I eventually figured it out.
Most white people are pretty clueless about it though.
holy shit 10/10 post
>was it ever explained
no
Quality post
Even black people call them niggers. Not niggas but niggers.
Any white person who has ever been around a black person for an extended period of time knows what ashy is. Hell, any really tan white person knows what ashy is. At no point in all my dealings with black people have I ever seen a black chick with blue skin except for that one time on Halloween when I saw one dressed as Smurfette.
ah this is why black girls always smell so weird-they are constantly rubbing lotion on themselves.
It's what happens when you're too poor to pay the water bill.
retard
I agree, it is real retarded to replace water for lotion, but they make due.
No, that's because cocoa butter scented products are heavily marketed towards black women for some reason. Seriously, go take a look at the African-American hair and skin care section at a store, 90% of it is cocoa butter scented.
>dressed as Smurfette.
M-more details user? Is she light skin or a dark-skinned queen? How did it look on her?? Details man!
From what I remember, the nerd ginger girl was just that, a generic 1 note nerd character, her only other quirk was that she was tall.
The generic guy in Penny's group had no real personality (at least from what I remember) and was mostly just there to get raped by Penny's ugly hoochie friend.
The Hispanic girl actually started off as another one of Penny's tormentors in the early episodes and I don't know why the writers decided to retcon her as another one of Penny's friends.
Also yes, when they weren't generic, they were just shitty friends and people overall.
I think Sticky joined a gang after his parents got divorced.
Sticky was the G-Rated dealer/bootlegger.
They didn't so much retcon her as just make everyone very passive aggressive awful people, which made it easier to work her into plots.
Oscar was ashy enough to start a fire with his ankles and he wasn't blue. These girls were dark skinned.
I assume sliver poising.

I thought I was hallucinating about that episode. Thank you for this.
These are the actually answers.
Can confirm, my entire extended family uses Cocoa butter products and everything they own smells like it
So black they're blue
How the fuck does being ashy make you blue
My knees just get kinda grey, like actual ash
In canon it's because they're ashy, but in reality (and likely what it's actually based on) when your skin gets dark enough it can start to shine/reflect blue when you're in the light.
That doesn't even look real
I had a girlfriend who looked exactly like that without the chin. She did taxidermy and filled her room and wardrobe with it, I thought it was a witchcraft thing but no she was just edgy.
It's rare, but it happens
it was a double slur, one benign, the other is old school hateful. The benign one is ashy. Because it's a bitch to animate a small surface around multiple joints, they were just blued out, as opposed to greying them out and making them look like zombies.
> he's never seen a jumanji nigga before
I think you have it backwards. The one girl stayed blue after her makeover, but there was another episode (or maybe the same one, I dunno) where Penny started hanging out with them, and she started to dress like them and to turn blue also. After Penny’s transformation, her friend asks her if she stopped moisturizing. This is the only time the show hints the other girls are blue because they don’t moisturize.
Fun fact: Osamu Tezuka’s Black Jack has a face that’s half blue because he received a skin donation from a black guy.
>I don't know why the writers decided to retcon her as another one of Penny's friends
That’s just how highschool girls are. One day a girl can be your bully and your worst enemy, and the next week she’s suddenly in your friend group and saying you’re bffs, and you later find out it’s probably because she thinks getting invited to your birthday party will give her a better chance of getting asked out by that one guy on the football time. Highschool girls can be incredibly fickle with their friendships and rivalries.
