Is Mugen mixed? I thought he was from Okinawa (where you get a lot of naturally dark skinned Japanese RL people/anime characters)

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not

close enough

What a fucking weird way to start a topic. Was that necessary?

I gotta say that I'm confused as to why people are referring to people with darker skinned as tanned.

Is the word "tanned" being used to refer to a white person who got a tan? It literally speaks like they live on a planet where only white people exist. I'm bewildered.

Among the various problematic implications one can draw from those who have those sorts of thought processes is the insinuation that we all come in one color - super dark. Somehow they don't know there are a lot of Black people who come in lighter shades that your average South-East Asian, Pacific-Islander, Native American, South American, etc.

The day we get an anime with an all black cast would be spectacular. Other than the Boondocks of course. But that would be a very rare moment. Like you winning the lottery rare.

It's not an all Black cast but I would keep an eye out on:

A collab between Crunchyroll & LeSean Thomas (you should know who that is). Also got character designer Hiroshi Shimizu (Michiko & Hatchin), storyboard director Shingo Natsume (One Punch Man), animation director Yûichi Takahashi (Gatchaman Crowds Insight) and animator Mitsuo Iso (Neon Genesis Evangelion) on the job. I don't know if its this fall or next year but I'm looking forward to it <3

Mohamed Avdol and Enrico Pucci
Avdol is a great hero in part 3 and saves the team multiple times. Enrico pucci is an amazing villain that manages to outwit the part 6 heroes multiple times, and is one of the most powerful characters in the manga.
And my avatar Pocoloco a side character in part 7. His stand ability is having 99 luck wherever he goes.

I just started watching this, and all the subs say Abdul, not Avdol. I don't know enough to say if you're incorrect, though, just curious at this point, lol. I like that dude's Stand. 10/10.

I didn't know Mugen is mixed

Neither did I

Only mixed brother in all of anime I think.

Mugen is Ryukyuan.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Mugen is Ryukyuan.

Yeah, and people basically shit their pants when he tells them that too.

Mugen is Ryukyuan.

Prison colony and that Ainu blood.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

People will come up with all sorts of stupid shit to deny a black person existing in a video game. Fucking morons.

 

[Crocodile]

Avdol has an awesome design but he's so underutilized in SDC. Pretty much everyone who isn't Jotaro or Polnareff is underutilized

I haven't read Part 6 yet (I'm waiting for the eventual anime) but I had heard

Spoiler

he isn't Black and that's an actual plot point.

With as few spoilers as possible, can someone confirm or deny this?

I heard half of those are tanned, not black.

That Splatoon thread

Yea...

There's something about gamers in general and the idea of diversity that is crazy. It gets a bit crazier when the sacred cow gets brought into the cross hairs.

 

[LionPride]

Francine from Arthur was black too

 

[Infinite]

Prison colony and that Ainu blood.

I remember reading an interview with the creator of Champloo and he basically said that he wanted a Ryukyuan character in the show to explicitly express that Japan was made up of multiple ethnicities and current day nationalists are dumb

 

[Izuna]

I wonder what the gene for Tan looks like

~~

Also Jerry ain't black. Jerry is mixed because I identify with him.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

How do tell if an Arthur character is black?

I just saw someone argue "Black Yoshis did Black representation first" and I think I wanted to punch a wall >_<

This might be the interview you're talking about. Watanabe is a good man.

Not going to even post on that Splatoon thread.

 

[sooperkool]

That whole Spla2n thread is funny, it reminds of when Suits first started and people tried to say that Meghan Merkel wasn't Black until her character Rachel on the show literally had to say, "this isn't a tan, it doesn't go away" in character.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

What do the memes tell you?

They dont say anything.

Whats get me is how people rush in and kick sand in the face of people that find enjoyment with something

"Cool the character has a black or gay character"

"Well actually......"

They can't help themselves

Its really weird. He looks like a black guy, is the twin brother of a character who is black/mixed but looks like a white guy. I believe he's half Italian half black and almost everyone in the fandom thinks of him as such.

I learned something new.
I feel like Golden Boy* today. *Kintaro Oe, main dude in a manga/anime

kinda weird that everyone feels they know what a Japanese artist of developer has in mind until we can read for ourselves that it is not always the way they want it to be.


Did black people ever claim Black Yoshi? I don't ever remember being a fan or identified as a Yoshi for that matter. I get frustrated the same when I read that, it is a bait you don't reply to that one.

This movie should be called Black Panther: Triggered

Okay, I am now officially convinced that at least 35% of GAF users are morons. And that is just guessing...

That's cool to hear. Only thing I remember is that he said they played that music when was a kid once the Ainu melody came along and looking up that island.
