good. keep feeling like shit.
btw when the second season starts?
i love this, rated 5 star but why the guy that gave younger andrew the gun had to be poc, ngl it ticks me off a little bit cuz i'm brazilian (tho ik that character isn't) and we're always represented by poor people or drug dealers or smth like that
not brazilian is a person of color tho (i live in brazil)
not every brazilian is a person of color tho (i live in brazil)
The gun was revealed to be a toy gun from his little brother lol
When i saw him give Andrew the gun I was like, "woooaahhh, that's super stereotypical." But the character was initially depicted as a nice person who was very friendly to Andrew, I was like, "He's doing him a favor, but he doesn't seem like a guy that would even be into guns despite them being legal in the US." But then when the reveal was that it was a toy gun, I was like "that makes a lot more sense," especially because its odd for a college-age man to ask their younger sibling for a firearm. And I was relieved that it wasn't a racist depiction.
But at the same time, because the reveal that it was a toy gun was a twist, there is a possibility that Andrew's dealer being Black could've made the trade more "realistic" to ignorant Korean viewers before revealing that the gun was a toy. So I can see what you're saying.
All in all, I think the author does a good job depicting people of color. Luke's friendgroup is diverse, the black RA is a peacemaker, and two of the people in the cast (one Asian girl and a White girl) are in an interracial wlw relationship I think. Unlike a lot of Korean webcomics authors who draw Black people in very racist ways, I think this webcomics depictions make a conscious effort to end that trope in Korean media. Though bare minimum to literally just depict Black people as human beings (and not hyper-masculine, super-strong, super-tall, overly angry racial characters), its still a little refreshing.
yess i agree!! this detailed analysis perfectly encapsulates how i feel abt it too lol, like i can see why people were mad at it, but it wasn't a real gun and i think the cast of characters were wonderfully created, like the author really captured the diversity of people in america
gave up reading lost in the cloud on manga go is so slow TikTok really be saving lives
dawg it's the schedule the author goes by, updates every friday they can't hurry it up lol
i know that, but mangago is not accompanying the author tho. don't misunderstand, i am NOT complaining, the scans try their best to translate and everything. i just gave up on reading here because i am anxious and on TikTok people always post the newest chapters translated.
