well she 100 percent did cheated on him because its impossible to have a black haired child when both of the parents have blonde hair scientificlly

 

[VladDracul2]

@XieShu That's why we have maaagic.

 

[Metazoxan]

sigh.... not ANOTHER one of these. Damn the Japanese love to play the victims don't they? "Oh no I have black hair which means I'll be discriminated against" How many damn times is that EXACT SETTING going to be used?

Although at least this one makes more sense (His father thinks the black hair means he's a bastard child and he's talent-less). I remember another Isekai where the MC gets treated like shit for black hair purely because he got reincarnated into a world where black is seen as an evil color. For this reason and this reason alone he's hated from birth, his mother has a mental breakdown from his very existence, his older brother bullies him, yet he's still kept alive in the dungeon where they keep a mountain of books for him to read.... A DAMN MOUNTAIN OF BOOKS IN A WORLD WITH A MIDEVAL LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT!

Back in that age books were treasures of nobility! They were not something left in a pile in the dungeon you keep the "Vile black haired child" no matter how rich you are. So even if you forgive how beyond excessive the world's reaction to his black hair is there is still the problem that he's kept alive for no reason and kept in a dungeon that has a mountain of books THAT SHOULD NOT BE THERE!

@Metazoxan In fairness, the reason books were so expensive in the middle ages was because each one had to be hand copied, which could take a month or more; therefore, the only people who could read were those who could afford to have books copied, i.e., the nobility. And the clergy, obviously, since they were the primary means of copying books.

I vaguely remember the isekai you're talking about, though the title escapes me, and I believe magic was fairly prevalent in the setting. Magic, depending on how its setting structures it, could easily lead to certain things being easily mass produced to the point books become cheap; after all, moveable type is a relatively simple concept, so I don't think it'd be too outlandish for a setting with magic to have a way to quickly copy written text.

 

[Metazoxan]

fair enough but nothing about the setting implied mass production and more often than not series with magic don't have a method of mass producing books.

Plus even if you were to make that assumption, which is already stretching it, that doesn't change the fact you wouldn't lock someone as hated as him in a mountain of books with useful information. Even in our time that amount of books would be worth a fair bit.

@Xieshu That's not how genes work.

Just because you have blond hair doesn't mean you don't carry black hair genes. Although rare, its very possible for a child to take on submissive genes.

@nebukanezzer
Actually, it's the blonde hair gene that's recessive, so black hair has more of a chance to be expressed than blonde. So under normal circumstances, the suspicion of infidelity would actually have some basis, but since this is a magical world and it's a known fact that mangaka really don't give a damn about science, let alone hereditary genetics, it's anyone's guess whether or not she cheated on the dude.

@nebukanezzer
LMAO
you serious?

 

[XieShu]

@nebukanezzer
who thought you that
Do you have a black hair even though you have blonde parents?
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
learn some very basic biology

 

[Ghizghuth]

... How come he's the first one to think of "control magic"? If there was only creation and force (to push your magic to your opponent), I could get it, they wouldn't immediately think of using to opposed "force magic" since it seems like a waste, but there's "Field Magic", even saying that they have knowledge that this creates a field of magic around them, shouldn't there have been at least one megaloman wanting to control everything in that field? Nobody got interested in flying? Making things move out of your way? Studying the "Magic World" that you're dragging in your own? Increasing your mana pool? Damn, those people sure don't seem curious, nor very bright...

 

[nebukanezzer]

@CBC @Xieshu

You can literally google it and see that I'm right.

 

[CBC]

@nebukanezzer
So I did and this is what I found:
> "One phenotype (brown/blonde) has a dominant brown allele and _a recessive blond allele_. A person with a brown allele will have brown hair; a person with no brown alleles will be blond. This explains why two brown-haired parents can produce a blond-haired child. However, this can only be possible if both parent are heterozygous in hair color- meaning that both of them have one dominant brown hair allele and one recessive allele for blond hair, but as dominant traits mask recessive ones the parents both have brown hair."
Which kinda scuttles your point I'm afraid as blonde hair only appears when both alleles are blonde rather than brown and blonde, which is why brown haired parents can have blonde haired children.

And a further search goes on to mention the following:
> "Typically two blonde parents will have blonde children. Blonde hair color is thought to be recessive and so both parents would have only the blonde gene to pass on to their children."
Which again, scuttles your point.

So, ya. If you supply _your_ source as to how a black-haired child can be born to two blonde-haired parents beyond "google it", that'd be great. I'm actually interested to see if it's a thing and the mechanics behind it.

 

[XieShu]

@nebukanezzer very fact that you wasted @CBC 'S time is a waste
really
How poorly educated you are

Real Noble Father: Don't fire guns in my expensive house, and don't push your mother's second child down the stairs. How am I going to make a use out of a possible body double or poison taster if you kill him off without my permission.
