Plot conflict speedrun

Honestly tho. They had made it seem like it was going to be a HUGE plot point at the beginning of the series, like "oh the villainess went to war and DIED in the game" and you're like oh holy shittttttt this is dangerous! But nah they cranked it out in like 20 pages lmao

Is still funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I think the real plot point was supposed to be how she overcomes the peoples prejudices and how other people have to examine theirs and realize how they are wrong.

Her skin turns white just when ppl started accepting her for who she is and then suddenly all the people who were still prejudiced suddenly became interested in her bc they have never seen white skin with black hair. And now she's like yall fake as fuck and she makes other ppl including her own mother realize her disgusting actions . And while the story isnt about race and a lot of ppl were saying shit about the author being racist but I think (maybe its cuz Ii like to give the benefit of the doubt) it was actually to show how gross and superficial ppl are in that they treat someone with dark blessing or "attributes" as scary and cursed but then as soon as her skin is light she is intriguing and beautiful. And how such treatment is damaging to people

Omg that is so interesting. And I agree with you about the author not being racist, people need to realize that the author is Japanese, and race is treated and viewed much differently there than it is in the US and 'Western' culture. Something i really get angry at is 'Westerners' getting offended when Japanese people actually put effort into making social commentary on racism because westerners don't bother looking at things through a different cultural lens. It is not to be demeaning to Japanese culture, but it is a fact that race is seen differently there. It's a different culture; not every culture sees things in the same way. From what you've told me, I think the author really is making a very important point and she is doing it in a way that probably makes more sense for a Japanese audience than a Western audience. Which is completely fine because the authors intended audience IS Japanese, not the West.

This was a bit of a rant but my main point is that the author is not racist, they are making a very good point in a way that connects with their INTENDED audience (Japan) and a Western audience might misconstrue their meaning because they are viewing it through their own cultural lens.

Exactly my dude, in japan there is this wierd fear/appreciation of black ppl and everyone who read the novel was so angry bc they are from the west and/or grew up in the west where thoughts about race are very different. They just assumed that the author was racist. When, as you said, they could have been making a social commentary that was more intended for the japanese audience aka the intended audience.
