Rant about tan people in manhwa
I honestly don't know if it's me and I might be just so tired to the depiction of tan MLS in manhwa but has anyone else noticed the blatant colorism in manhwa with tan characters in general but specifically MLS? In EVERY manhwa with a tan ml he is ALWAYS a "savage" or violent or EXTREMELY horny and/or just a shit person in general and it's not just the ml if there is another tan character they are either a villain or obsessed with the FL for no reason. If they are a woman they are either jealous of the FL, is very masculine (like they artist literally drew them like a straight up man) or ends up a servant to the FL and has this weird obsession with the FL and treats her like she is God and can't do anything wrong.
I might be reaching but it's just icky because the FL is this (I hate to bring race into this) white extremely petite character who does little to nothing and has EVERYONE save her but she gets worshipped and praised for just existing/fucking the ml.
I hope this makes sense, I'm HORRIBLE at writing lol.
That made me think I can’t really recall a well written dark skinned character if someone does drop the recs!!
