colorism is ramapant in asia and they don't mean white people like europeans and or americans if anything we think their clowns. but pale skin is the beauty standard
Thats true, here in the ph as long as u have white skin despite your goddamn crooked ass nose and/or teeth you bound to get called pretty with a few braces and liptint
Colorism is rampant in Asia. The whole nobility has people with fair and white skin, while the labourers have dark myth is bullshit
So let me get this straight for the skin color sudden changes.
Idk why but it just further implies that being blessed by dark magic causes her skin to darken meaning that "only poc/black ppl can control dark magic" and then when she got blessed by the light king or whatevs her skin became much more fairer due to the HEALING power, which can also imply that "Only white ppl can control light magic".
It would've been more understandable if the mangaka went for the Marxist concept
Whereas most asian (since the manga was made in japan) who work during in this type of period have much more darker skin.
Seeing as she's a noble, THEN the skin change will be acceptable. But holy shit no wonder it felt like white washing
Cause even with light skinned parents and being blessed with dark magic, if it doesnt imply that "poc's can only control dark magic" then her features wouldn't have had to be affected, imagine a black person being "Blessed" by the light king and "Healing" their god damn skin tone to become more fairer, WTF?
