ATP I’m so tired of shonen stories making dark elves (with dark skin) the evil ones and the elves that are basically white are good (as a race in general). It promotes propaganda that inherently darker skin always has to be associated with evil or dark powers and it’s so wrong especially in a world (our world) where dark skin isn’t even remotely free of horrible stereotypes that have historically caused multiple genocides against us. It honestly hurts to keep seeing it. Like I can’t keep trying to justify it in my head when I read stories like these just cause the plot is good. It’s mentally exhausting fr
I agree with your points, I just wanted to clarify (for myself most probably because I could be wrong) but aren't the current elves a descendant of the dark elves? They're stationed in the forest as protectors of the land as a way to avenge what their ancestors have done.
