Referencing Aldrik's post "To all the people who complain about Tj not being "chocolate" anymore: use your fucking brain. I'm sick of seeing people complain about the art, when it's so pretty just because of that.
First of all: Taekjoo is in Russia and in distress all the time, of course he's gonna loose some of his color because of the lack of sunshine and food plus being stressed out, tortured and in pain. Secondly, the mansion is basically just windows and outside it's just snow and very bright sunshine, everyone who knows just a little about color theory knows, that this bright white light will reflect through the windows and make them look pale asf.
So no, the artist didn't "whitewash" your precious dark chocolate, it's just realistic."
It's not racist to have a fucking brain moron and people can have their own opinion. And if so what if a story PORTRAYS it differently, it's the authors choice. It's YOUR choice to be offended by it. Imagine getting offended because of a story especially because of skin color. You're the ones making it racist in the first place.
No one’s saying the art is ugly you idiot, I honestly never even had a problem with the new coloring, BUT the COMMENT this person made is fucking WEIRD and YOUR dumbass is defending it. I’m not even gonna waste my time reading someone defend a retarded and racist ass comment. Keep yourself safe you melanin deficient mouth breathing neanderthal.
I can assure you that no one hates the art style you guys like to use color theory as an excuse for them to erase taekjoos melanin out of him I know that he isnt getting much sunlight and after all that was done to him it's obvious he would be pale but please that doesn't mean it would suck all the melanin out of him. And dont even get me started on his hair color it was originally brown and then suddenly it turned black how is the color theory working?? Because black hair doesn't turn black in some different lighting

At least he looks Korean now, not just a dark skin or black. And him too look white Russian. This is improvement for the artist.
