But the author is also a POC living in Asia that has no such history like Americans of European ancestors, so saying that people can't criticize your opinion, because it's illegal site, while you don't pay for someone's hard work on the website were your opinion won't even reach the author is pointless and stupid
Oh my there’s a lot to unpack in your comment. First, poc can also be racist to other poc believe it or not, look at the portrayal of black people in anime. And I was never referring to the author specifically I was more referring to the American readers! I also never said anyone couldn’t criticize my opinion you’re the only person I’ve had a convo with. And lastly I do pay for authors if I end up liking the work on here I go and buy a physical copy myself if available! Like I have to read “sign” on here bc the physical copies are only in French T^T but it also doesn’t matter if the opinion reaches the author it’s a public comment section for people to share thoughts and that’s what this original commenter did. None of these comments praising the work are ever gonna reach the author either so by your logic they shouldn’t be commenting either. Oof sorry that was a long one (=・ω・=)
Sorry but I feel like I'm talking to a wall, you have your wisdom I had mine and we won't come to any conclusions, so I will try one last time and thengive up, rasicm by definition is "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. And the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another." Showing people of different ethnicity in anime as stupid or wulgar just because of their skin color is racism, but using patterns from other cultures, that don't have negative meaning in any way isn't racism, they don't even mention them in the manga, those are just a used pattern in this manga nothing else
Doesnt matter how much hot Muhyeok is, i cant stop hating the fact that he only has tribal tattoos
