Is Pinkydoll “light skin fishing?” The TikTok star is clapping back at claims that she is hoodwinking and bamboozling folk out here.
Confusion hit X timelines when Pinkydoll hit the stage at the Streamy Awards looking like a brown bombshell and not like an NPC with light skin doing weird things for views.
TMZ caught up with Pinkydoll, and she made it clear she is proud to be Black and, in her painfully robotic voice, basically chalks it up to being in the sun.
Per TMZ:
Twitter was perplexed to see Pinkydoll is actually darker in the flesh … and some accused her of trying to purposely bait people into thinking she’s some race other than Black.
She’s strongly denying that, though, telling our camera guy she’s proud of her melanin — and she offers an explanation for the obvious skin tone difference. Now, whether you buy it … that’s up to you.
Still, X users are reacting to Pinkydoll’s new hue and sounding off on Elon Musk’s sh*tty platform.
“The fact pinky doll tricked the colorists and the algorithms,” one X user wrote.

“Got a lightskin friend look like Pinkydoll, got a dark skin friend look like Pinkydoll,” another hilarious X post read.

WHAT?? Y’all mean to tell me, that some dark-skinned Black folks actually notice how y’all treat them in comparison to light-skinned folks?? And SOME might think lightening their skin is a good way to escape all your colorism, to pursue success?? Say it ain’t so! #PinkyDoll pic.twitter.com/lZpOyi1qfl

What in the world I did not know she was dark skin. I love my filters too but I don’t understand how you can go from dark skin to light skin on a live video??? But she’s very smart for this because just like I’ve been saying people are colorist #pinkydoll pic.twitter.com/w6O2QkVC5L

I don’t think PinkyDoll’s complexion is as big a deal as people are making it. I thought it was obvious she uses filters/lighting during her lives that mimic the Asian culture that started the NPC trend. If she was “light skin fishing” that says more about the world than it does…
