How about stop looking at every fucking fictional reads looking for representations that aligns with your personal beliefs and bitching about it in illegal sites?
If you can't enjoy a read without associating it to any skin colors you'll be at so much peace knowing all of this are all just fictional, drawn characters... This are the preferences of the novel author. Get over it. See how it's only you correlating the skin to a personal degree? Please, You're in an illegal site.
That's like saying every representations of dark elves in every books are inaccurate as they are all inherently portrayed as eveil beings. Bruh
I know people don't like to talk politics in places like this, BUT you'd be a fool to think this is not racially motivated lol
Japanese and korean comics always potray dark skinned characters as barbaric and bloodlusted and all brawns no brains in a fantasy setting.
Same way hollywood used to portray asians usually men as nerdy, awkward losers and blondes as dumb and slow. It's not direct, but like I said it's clearly motivated.
Even if some of these authors ended up just following a trend of having the dark skinned characters always be the barbarian and lowly, some other definitely did it on purpose lol
Its totally justified to complain about racial streotypes in manwhas because even though its fiction as you said, the inherent problem that many brown skinned characters are mostly potrayed as 'evil' or 'babaric' is still there and has every reason to be adressed. Because as someone already mentioned some koreans are racist and do indulge in these streotypes
Omg. She happened to have a darker skin. So what? It could have literally be some lighter skin tone. Dun make everything ouy of a fresking skin tone ffs.
Like, yes racism is a thing and it sucks. But ya not really helping the case by complaining over freaking fictional characters who just happened to have a non-light skintone man...
People with darker skintones can also be very racistic towards people with lighter skintones and vice versa.
There are so many webtoons who have light skintoned characters do the same as the Queen, yet ppl dun complain bout that. "But how dare u make a character with a darker skintone do these stuff."
You must be joking, the problem here is that it's ALWAYS the people with darker skin who are labeled as villains, as barbarians, and when they are men like ML, they are always the brutes while FL are snow-white and super delicate.
Whether you want to admit it or not, this is blatant racism in manhwas.
Korea is an extremely racist country and its stories make this clear countless times.
Why are black people always the villains, why are they always labeled as aggressive and barbaric?
This is an issue that should not be normalized in our society and it is perfectly normal to question it.
Using the excuse that it's a fictional story is not a justification, it's just you trying to justify racism or aligning yourself with it.
Honestly, are you pretending not to understand at this point?
Or is your understanding limited to this point?
First of all, Vinland Saga is a manga based on a TRUE STORY, there's no reason to bring this topic up here.
What I'm saying is that manhwas with dark-skinned people are always labeled, again and again and again, as I said in another comment, they are always the aggressive ones, the villains, the brutes.
But I understand now that you two are big defenders of racism and honestly, people like that don't think.
Fuck the racists!!!
I truly started a war lol. Don't get why people can't just understand that fiction reflects reality, and works created by people tend to reflect the personal beliefs of the person writing it. If the only reason to include a darker-skinned character is to make them an easy villain cuz you can label them an outsider/barbarian, then clearly there is a political slant to it, even if it's unintentional. Ignorance is alive and well, and acknowledging that harmful stereotypes exist is the only way people can learn and grow. Media influences the world, and if the manhwas Korean people always see have darker people as barbarians/sex symbols, it will continue to perpetuate these bad ideas. Acting like fiction doesn't influence the world is a very silly stance when that is sometimes the only way people can see different perspectives from their own, especially when they are younger. When those fictions all share common stereotypes, people are gonna notice; it's just up to the person to decide whether that stereotype is bad, and people can only do that if they are taught to recognize it; otherwise, it leads to generalizations like people in Korea make about darker-skinned people. I mean, just look at their beauty standards, where they literally do skin bleaching because being darker is seen as unattractive.

Why do these authors always have to take the one brown person and make them an evil person who practices satanic arts, seduces people through the power of sensual dancing (implying she's basically a type of prostitute), and is born from a "savage" race that is "uncultured" and "low born"? Like, she's the only adult brown person, and she's a bad guy like girl, you can make anyone our secret evil, and you chose your only person of color? I know we knew she was gonna be bad, but the least they can do is not correlate her skin color and ethnic origins to the reasons why she's bad
