It's like a metronome, going from cute to lewd every other second! But somehow it is still wholesome!

This manga has done an amazing job of conditioning me to look at this guy as silly and innocent despite his appearance. Like, I see him, and I can't imagine him acting like a jerk or a womanizer at all...
Idk, just bevause bro has dark skin and light hair still doesn't make him a delinquent, jerk, womanizer or playboy to me. I guess I just don't have enough of that suburban gentry in me to be casually racist w/o realizing it.

The only person bringing race into this is you, they're both Japanese characters, Kumasaka is coded as the type of character that would be delinquent and womaniser and the fact that you went straight to those tropes instead of literally any other negative trait someone could poses shows you know exactly what was intended.

I love all of those Solo Leveling Abridged videos. Some are great from the perve but others are great for other reasons, like this one:

It's a design trope, and it's gotten to the point where characters are designed this way as a shorthand for "womanizer playboy." And is it biased? Sure, but I also wouldn't say it's "racist." The design is based on vaguely Japanese people like everyone else in animanga.

And if you think that this is what a black or middle eastern person looks like, you've clearly never seen one before in your life. He looks very obviously Japanese, especially when compared to the other characters in this manga.

Ay you can be a shinnichi, but no need to name me the racist. He's just a big huggable bear. You can say "he's coded" but I don't get the vibes.
