I completely agree. Some of the choices felt so obviously forced and I couldn't help but think that many choices were certainly motivated and even hearkened back to harmful archetypes and stereotypes that honestly weren't needed.
And I couldn't help but comment seeing a fellow nu carnival fan! Hey!
I agree ,racism is the worst
Wait…SO HE WASN’T BLACK
I’m late to this comment but I seriously thought Cain was a black dude with a perm….(I don’t mean perm in a literally sense, just referring to how str8 his hair is)
But even if Cain isn’t black I honestly don’t think the author was trying to be “racist.” I’ve seen a lot of anime and mangas where none dark skinned characters have curly or frizzed up hair after some type of explosion. Also him being accused of rape had nothing to do with his skin at all sooo… I can’t see how this is in any way racist. He was just caught in a sus moment and MC lied on him to get out of a beating
the author drawing that knight, the MC falsely accused of rape with curly hair similar to an Afro and dark skin, after he got beat up in a few random panels. the 'joke' is not funny and has gone on too long. the humor is odd and damaging (ch 10) or even the flippant remarks at slavery from the lead in her fantasy medieval world but joking poor hygiene was the worst thing, in earlier chapters. the constant portrayal of the West v. East stereotypes. I digress. I really don't like this comic.
