Exactly! They’re probably not noticing enough that this isn’t the first manhwa where the girl has dark skin
yeah but the problem is that asians love whiter skin (and east asians dominant the asian image) so even tho people are mistaken that asians aren't people of color, it's really verrryy rare to find protagonist dark skinned hence their surprise/delight
Righttt there are Asians who have much darker skin tones as well! They always exclude that and forget that not every Asian is pale.
I understand when people say they want more FL with color, as I also want that too and think it’s be great. But if I’m looking from an artist/writer perspective, usually these authors are Asian. So writing from the perspective of a different race can be pretty difficult. Usually when I make characters I either don’t label a race on them and let people think what they want, or just center the environment about them being Asian cause that’s the only race I fully understand (as an Asian person myself). I would feel bad if I wrote from the POV of a different race’s character and don’t understand their culture or race properly.
So it’s kinda hard when people get mad over the fact that there’s no color in manhwa, manga, and manhua- even tho the creator themselves most likely are korean/japanese/chinese and have been surrounded in an Asian environment with little diversity. Personally I wouldn’t want to draw/write about a race that I don’t know everything about, so I don’t offend anyone by not knowing enough. The only way I’d think of a poc author can make a poc character is on webtoon, cause webtoon is a pretty diverse place.
Yes exactly, I am an East Asian person (Japanese) but I am tan so it makes me sad that I don't see any representation for people like me.
I am happy that other people of color find representation but I wish people could conciderate us too.
Today, people only think that
East Asian = pale and South Asian = tan. ugh, this is so annoying, so I am really happy to see representation of tan East Asian women in this manwha (don't take my word wrongly, you can still think that this girl is representing you)
Sorry for this long speech (lol) I was just happy to see a person agreeing with me, sorry :))
I saw someone saying "Im so happy that a female lead of colour is here lol"... do yall realize that asian ppl are person of color, just some of them are pale?
