but you can’t deny that the whole pale small wife and the big brown man trope is still present .. it’s not like this isn’t the same for pairings that are both pale, but this is fetishized and that critique isn’t wholly wrong. it’s just aware of the trope it plays into ( but hardly, considering the roles are the same lol )
I agree with this troup being the problem in other mangas but not in this one, we have so many white to white couples, having a mix one isn't a problem here, I agree that plot would be better if they didn't have animalistic characteristics but the "barbarians" part isn't the problem here since "barbarian" means people other nationality are below us and this series show that this prejudice is wrong and inaccurate
I'm tired of the white as snow fl and basically black ml whose aggressive and barbaric. Like can we get it the other way around at least? No diversity points for you nika
