@haijin1028 Generally speaking yeah but it’s also true that a lot of creatives do take inspiration from the real world and what’s around them, Pokémon isn’t an exception to that, we can disagree on the subjectivity and I appreciate we can have this discussion 🙏🏽
@0iGoJ Probably not since she’s a fictional character but her skin colour being so dark and brown it would be indicative of someone with high levels of melanin
@ponchi_2525 This is wrong because we don’t do it from a standpoint of not wanting to insult Asian people, because of our experience with “blackface” & it being inherently racist, we wouldn’t want to paint ourselves the same skin colour as Asians because we perceive it as racist to Asians
@kirishimaao@ScottMorningVT Akagi doesn’t get treated as black by the community nor does Sakuragi, people make some comparisons however those are normally infantile meme type of comparisons not genuine
@haijin1028 I guess that’s where the difference lies, but as much as something might be fiction it still has been informed by the real world and exists in the real world, consumed by real people, it’s why as a business Pokémon started introducing more black characters in the first place
@NATTO_NEET@QjF6Rqpcf9306@UriRecord It’s a bit ironic for you to say that when the question was so disingenuous in the first place using fake images to try and have a “got you” moment.
This interaction says a lot more about you than it does me when I’ve tried to be as genuine and honest as possible.
Thank you 👍🏽
@nakaG9014 Just because you don’t like my answer doesn’t mean I haven’t given you a proper answer, the fact of the matter is the character has clearly got dark melanated skin which means she’s black, doesn’t mean she’s suddenly African or something 😂
Hope you have a nice day friend 👍🏽
@nakaG9014@Reopanottokage@UriRecord Okay then that’s fine in my personal opinion they’re both the same colour they just happen to be different levels of tanned
@WdwzCNS1R22icM9@Reopanottokage@UriRecord Tbh my issue is why is it such a big deal that we believe the character is black ? 😂 wife not said the character is Jamaican I’m just saying she’s clearly black in my opinion
