Extremely wholesome, though complementing someone on their pale skin is always weird to me.

"A bar for crabs." Is also not the first thing I think of when I read "Crab bars" but you know, it's good too.

It's a Japanese culture thing. They, in general, think Pale skin is attractive.

East asian beauty standards. Pale skin is considered beautiful and can lead to toxic ways of thinking sometimes

good translation, thanks for that. are your plans to re-do the series with higher quality raws still standing? would be really nice. the low quality of the raws is kinda dampening the enjoyability...

in my head, crab bars was like a quick grab n go crab snack that you can have on the road or something, like those cereal bars they made.

East asian beauty standards. Pale skin is considered beautiful and can lead to toxic ways of thinking sometimes

Many kinds of standards can lead to toxic ways of thinking, in particular when it comes to superficial matters. Sometimes in unhealthy ways, if it's something that's outside healthy boundaries.

That can be very personal, since for instance some people just can't get as thin as others without starving themselves, while others (maybe the same "others" as before) could suffer from obesity related ailments before too many people would call them "fat".

I think that's got more to do with the gap moe thing. It's a difference from the norm, so it's attractive when it shows up, but it's not generally seen as attractive as a permanent skin tone. The Western world used to have the same pale skin beauty standard, but the industrial revolution caused a lot of people to work indoors so much that it wasn't as rare for people to be pale, and following that the beauty standards started tilting the other way instead. The Asian world didn't (to my knowledge) have that shift, so they kept their old standards.

Now they just have one shift: the 16-hour-a-day shift!

The moment of sadness when you catch up to a manga you just started reading. RIP not having to wait for updates.
