@Panzercracker The whole "special black hair" thing isn't really a comment on irl Europe (basically these fairy tale european worlds are just a backdrop adopted for the Opulent Aesthetic
tm) because yeah it's super normal here and always has been, if anything it's a cultural translation of how the Japanese sometimes views those who doesn't have black hair as an outsider.
Like last year there was a big SoMe scandal about school's forcing their students to dye their hair black, which also hit biracial kids and those who just had more brownish looking hair.
Look up the 'Natural Hair Certificate' for some weird ass reading into absolute conformity.
Another example is all the manhwa/manga/manhua set in fairytale Europe where the reigning monarch has an established official harem, which definitely wasn't done either (otherwise Henry VIII wouldn't have gone through all the trouble to get an heir)
Just like when western author or film maker set a story somewhere else but still keep a western outlook on the world, people and society, it reads as off for anyone from that place.
