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)

Literally why does everything have to be human male elf female pairings in every single fantasy manga?
