Guess I'm color blind XDD Not sure why someone can upset over something like how one refer to some 2D character skin color tho o.O

@CrimsonMidnight, i feel the same that i have a positive inclination to a darker palette of skin in anime. But i think that's due to the overuse of the dominating color schemes used throughout the decades, so anything that isn't that color scheme is visually fresh as we have a whole new palette to contrast other colors with.

Outside of anime i do not share the same sentiment, to the same effect. In real life for example my visual preferences are spread way more thin. So with drawn characters i think i'm just a lot more numb to the way anime is with their designs, a dark skinned character is immediately interesting because that breaks what my eyes are used to.

jk,im just joking i cant say anything bad about the person who love one piece...
i think you thread is good (no drama)
From the one piece crew i think the most dark would be usopp (before time skip)

CrimsonMidnight said:

They might not give a fuck, and I don't care, but they should have realized by now that darker skin does look exotic and good in character and it would be great to see more of them as main character!
See Fujimaki Tadatoshi-sensei that created Aomine ; w ; and he made another dark skinned MC in his next work, but it got cancelled T_T even I thought the MC is much better than Kuroko & Kagami :(

Yeah, I think so. Most JJBA characters have the same complexion as his so it's not that noticeable.

qyc said:

oh okay
is it just me or does his complexion get lighter in part 4?

Racism is not only about hating a group of people because of how they look, it is also about paying attention to their skin in the first place.

There aren't that many that do it.
If you go on "Ecchi" genre page, you'll see there's about 752 entries. About 1/3 of them are entries such as "Recap", "Special", "OVA" etc which are not stand-alone anime, then there's also the great number of "ecchi" that's not really "ecchi" but it just has a few jokes here and there. Like Punchline or Kill la Kill, though Kill la Kill is rather perverted. The number of lust-driven anime is not big at all and Japan isn't the land of perverts, as some sad children imagine it to be. Quite the opposite. Otaku stuff does sell, sadly, but it's just the correlation between low budget and low income that's still low but is seen as profitable because of the low budget. Show an anime about real problems and the anime that will make someone a better person but give it a low budget? You'll see "valid criticisms" from "anime conosseiurs". Show them something that resembles their fetish on a low budget? They'll go crazy and buy the blu-rays.


It is not dangerous racism but it is racism. I don't look at my family and go, "this one's white" and "this one's Asian".
It's like that one message I saw on Twitter where some lady complained that people get weirded out when she says "I'm married to an Asian man". She doesn't say "I'm married" or "I'm married to a man I love", she says "I'm married to an Asian man". That's what is causing the reaction, and yet she keeps doing it because that's the entire point. And I don't know her, she may or may not love that guy but you don't need to have a science license to know that she's into him because of that.

For your information, I don't tolerate any of the "I talked to a girl today, yay" kind of thing. Again, we're all the same and love can happen with anyone. But the moment you start to see someone as just "man", "woman", "black" - that's wrong.

As for your last sentences, it's pure objectification, and OP does the very same thing. On the good side, when people are open about those lust-driven desires, they make it easier to see their true face and that's a plus since that makes it easy to avoid them.

By the way, I'm not exactly sure why do you have Adolf Hitler in your favorites and then you think it's okay for you to even say a thing about racism. He is responsible for numerous deaths of people and I don't see how joking about him being your "favorite person" is funny in any way. Death is not something to joke about.

Again, you are failing to see that there is no difference between people. I am not looking at my family and think about their race or skin color, or nationality. If you do that, then you have a problem and you need to fix it. That will be my last message to you.

MagicalLove said:

If you could do what you're doing to "2D" to real people and if there was no consequence, you would be doing it. You don't love these characters, all you want is to use them. All I'm going to say is that I am very happy that I don't know you in real life.

Nothing is ever "just" something. There is a reason for everything we do and you should think very hard about your behavior, especially being at the age of 26 when you're supposed to act like an adult and not a spoiled child.

Police brutality happens with everyone, not just black people. Do you really live in the world where only black people are affected by policy brutality? Look up the way things are in Russia and pretty much all Eastern Europe where police and army can do anything they want. Not mentioning USA where the same police brutality happens to white people, too, it's just that "white person was mistakenly assaulted by police" doesn't make a cool, striking headline that's going to give the website thousands of clicks and that won't stir up people who feel guilty towards black people.
Life is where murder and police brutalty exist, it's a sad fact but it is a fact. I just don't understand why poilice brutality against black people is such a huge crime when the same thing against white people doesn't really make it to the headlines or doesn't bother you. It's the same crime and the same horrible act, no matter what race victim is. But I understand, you need to feel like the angel and to make yourself feel like you're not like "them". Have fun.

Maybe if black people were trying to improve their image and take a break from posting messages about "smoking dope" and "picking hoes from the ghetto", calling each other "nigga" and overall behaving like thugs - yeah, maybe police would not be so keen to think they're the ones who are responsible for something bad. Go out and talk to random people: both life and internet. These stereotypes are real.
I'm not even going to mention the rap music which is nothing but weird people dressed as criminals singing about "momma" and "hoes", and "da booty" if you can call rap music singing, of course. Search "10 most popular rap artists of all time" on google - you'll see nothing but tattoed guys with numerous rape and drug abuse charges who don't even try to improve their criminal-like looks. The only thing that needs to be acknowledged is that black people need to work on their image, I see white people working on being nice to everyone while fighting the racism but I don't see the same response. All I see is entitlement and bringing up topics of racism which are long gone now, topics of slavery which are even more long gone.
There will always be idiots who make racist comments, just like there will be idiots who kill others. It's the same crime. There's no difference to it and racism is not worse than murder. So why are you pretending like it's the world's first problem? You're not the judge.

The last thing I'll say is that I saw some of your other messages and you don't really seem like a lust-free person, so before you go on forums and try to prove something to someone - fix that. And no, using a character from Danganronpa to justify your behavior is not fixing it. That character has some severe problems and you have them, as well based on what I see.

I am not saying to be color-blind, I am saying that race doesn't matter as long as people act normal and seek love, improve themselves and present a positive image. The behavior OP shows? It is not okay and they should be ashamed of themselves.
