Literally like why is nobody saying it like it is , it’s black face and that’s so not OK ,no matter what. everyone’s just ignoring it and say what the fuck else
It's not black face.
The reason why dark skin is considered unfavorable is because in many asian cultures, for hundreds of years pale skin has been the beauty standard.
The paler and more pure your skin looked the more beautiful you were.
If you had dark skin it largely meant you were poor, and that you worked outside all day like a farmer, and were thus looked down upon.
It has nothing to do with race, but classism instead.
I don’t see how that changes the fact that it making ur skin darker and it doesn’t really matter if it to look poor or that it’s not specifically for back people or anything. someone else’s skin is like that just normally. In your regards it makes sense in the story but they could have any other way to look poor.
Honestly tho I gave up on reading it’s kinda wack so agreed to disagree (〜￣△￣)〜
No I wasn't disagreeing with you just explaining the perspective
It is kinda wack I stopped reading it too
It causes alot of controversy in places like China south Korea and the Philippines because alot of celebrities will bleach their skin which is harmful but because they have the money they get it professionally done, it doesn't cause them too much damage
However there are people who are not as wealthy and will go for cheaper options that often contain very poisonous chemicals (like lead), that can kill you. It's a serious problem and alot of people are trying to push for celebs to stop promoting harmful practices
I’m kind of in love with the Fact that you just went on to say something really insightful and actually really intelligent and in an understanding way. I’m slightly in love with rn.
Thank you ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
From Chapter 17 When the emperor disguised as a dark skinned guy he started getting odd comments like "......that's why he looks like shit" "you don't deserve to know my name you ragtag" and some other things. It did not rub off on me well and that is why I am dropping this. Dark skinned characters should not be used in this way. Even if this was set in the old times, there are actually people who go through discrimination just because they are dark skinned. I really wonder why everyone chose to ignore that. guess people really do pick and choose what issues they want to speak on.
