I keep seeing these dark elf characters in manga and they're hardly ever dark-skinned, evil or repulsive, contrary to western fantasy. Instead, they're often seen as a bad omen, and they get persecuted and enslaved for no reason other than prejudice.
The more I think about the more it makes sense to me that authors see the 'dark' part and interpret it as a kuro gyaru archetype ('black' gals) - flashy delinquent-looking beauties who tend to be kind to otaku, at least in manga.
Sure yeah but like... that elfs barely even tanned. She's not even gyaru tan either, normal-ass white person tan.

Is that a hard requirement? Most of these so-called gyaru I saw in manga weren't tanned at all, and while often suspected of being promiscuous they tended to be perfectly maidenly, just like some of them 'dark elves'.
Blond hair is a common theme in both cases - a very Japanese stereotype for delinquency.

"fluffiness" aside, you'd think they'd be able to adopt say, a snake unless those are rare/hard to get in japan. if not like bugs or so but i guess ppl don't rly find bugs cute lol

They were hitting on a game character... cringe...
the most unrealistic part about that is that in other mmos/vr stuff it would've been a man in a cute girl avatar (tho who knows other than a voice changer maybe this VR game just uses everyone's real voice, tho in that case you'd think other than everyone starting with 'beginner' charas the 'scrawniness' would've been a choice lol) (tho the cliche pickup i don't think i've ever seen work versus the person turning the tables on them and being femdom or some cute crossdressing boy making a move lol)

Just saying, I have animal allergies as well. However, i'm taking a certain treatment where I take a certain dosage of the allergens each week, slowly desensitizing me from the allergies and sending signals to my body showing that these allergens are not harmful.

"Hey you with the attractive female avatar, we wanna hit on you!"
"Bro, I'm a 43 year old, 150 kg dude, sitting here in sweaty underwear, and you can be glad about that last part, since it's not always guaranteed for me to wear this much while gaming."

If I had a nickel for every woman with allergies who decided to join a VR MMORPG so they can enjoy animals, you know the rest

Is this what passes for a dark elf nowadays?
More like gyaru elf, it seems.
Literally why does everything have to be human male elf female pairings in every single fantasy manga?
There are basically two demihuman species that are more feminine than ordinary humans - elves and catgirls.
And Japanese lack manliness to associate themselves with any race manlier than a human, such a a wolf-person or a dwarf. They'd rather see a guy MC reincarnate as an elven beauty.

There need to be more manga where MC is a cute wolf-boy.
