Ultimately or logically there should be the same percentage as population. But a free market says demand is key.
No. If the only reason for them being in a series is because they're black. No.
Its called tokenism
Yes, I think it’d make for some interesting content. But they need to actually make the anime about the black main character. Not like yasuke where they just made the anime about the little girl.
I don't think I've come across an issue I care about less than this one.
There should be exactly the anime characters which writers write.
How about we just let people create whatever caracters they want
Agree? I was asking because some black people were talking about it wanted to know what others think
No. Also, they're tanned not black. There's been only one legit black guy in the history of Japan
Explain to me how someone could have 4c hair + be dark skin and not be black 🤦🏽♀️
@doopayo ask the people at Barbados 🇧🇧. Bring dark skinned doesn't necessarily mean you're from black descent
@doopayo it is possible kuzan from one piece western people used to think that he is black but he was based on a Japanese. Most character I have posted except one are Asian.
Japanese people can be quite difference I have seen some really dark one and really hair color and hair type is just a statistics since many Japanese like dying or stylizing their hair
General rule is if a character have Japanese than he/she is Japanese could be half but most of the time they would tell you about him/her being half if not irrespective of how yoy can see him/her they're Japanese.
Have a Japanese name
Lol Japanese also have a tendency to make character with foreign name half Japanese maybe so audience can relate more and they can speak fluent Japanese. Killua have a European name for example but father is Russian mother is Japanese. So chances of character with foreign name being hafa is also quite high
@JessJayNeak the only people I’ve met from Barbados are black. And that not what I said, I said how can you be dark skin and have curly hair and say they aren’t black. They’re obviously black so it makes no sense. Also do you even watch the anime’s? Most of these black characters are in anime’s that aren’t slice of life meaning Japan doesn’t exist, so there are no Japanese people.
@doopayo yes, I do watch anime. Also, it's clear that you don't know geography since Barbados folks are legit Latinos. Same with Cubans, some have a darker skin than others. It's clear that you're trying to waste my time with your pointless PC
Afro latinas are a thing so you’re literally making no sense. My families from Cuba and I’m black and Latino. A google search could’ve taught you that The population of Barbados is predominantly black (92.4%) or mixed (3.1%). [1] 2.7% of the population is white and 1.3% South Asian. The remaining 0.4% of the population includes East Asians (0.1%) and Middle Easterners (0.1%).
You sound slow 😂 did you not know The majority of middle eastern are Latinos of African descent? Hispanic is an ethnic group not a race, this isn’t rocket science. Don’t go and cry PC just cause you don’t know anything about genealogy
2+2 just doesn’t equal 4 my guy
@doopayo when did I say that Hispanics were a race?
When you said people from Barbados are Hispanic? They’re still black, look at what a person from Barbados looks like. Rihanna who’s extremely famous is literally a black girl from Barbados so it doesn’t make sense what your point was
@doopayo and 2+2 = 4. And nothing else
@doopayo did I literally say "Barbados is a Hispanic country?"
@doopayo and what does Rihanna have to do with anime?
Missing the point. Their are black people in anime just very little cause obviously anime is made for a primarily Asian audience but it doesn’t mean automatically all characters are Japanese is my point.
@doopayo you didn't answer my question. What does Rihanna have to do with anime?
@Jesse nothing I’m Just showing how you claiming people from Barbados are just tan is hilarious
@doopayo then why involve her?
@doopayo who are you going pull up next? Foxy Brown? Nicki Minaj? Cardi B?
@doopayo also when did I say "people of Barbados are tanned?" When? Where? Give me the words "Detail by detail"
@doopayo if someone have Japanese or Asian name than they are Asian
Foreigner have foreign name
@asker That doesn’t make sense, my names Irish but irl I’m zero percent Irish. Me having an Irish name doesn’t make me Irish. An most anime names are meant to have deeper meanings
Most anime names are a play on words or meant to be unique and easy to remember
@Jesse “Barbados folks are legit Latinos. Same with Cubans, some have darker skin than others.” 64 percent of the country is white, 26 percent is mestizo, and 9 percent is Afro-Cuban so you made zero sense
@doopayo so 8 said they were Latinos not tanned
9 percent of the population is still 1.3 million of the total population, either way this has nothing to do with anime now and it’s just your incorrect opinion
*I (not 8, damn it)
@doopayo it's true that it has nothing to do with anime. Still, that doesn't change the fact that there was only one legit black guy that set foot on Japan and became a shogun.
What does that have to do with anime
Not every single anime is based in he realm of non fiction..
@doopayo there is an anime about it tho
@doopayo so yes it has to do with that as well
Yet not every single anime is about non fiction, many of the most popular anime’s are literally in the realm of fiction. I’m failing to understand why anime can tell stories about elf’s and dragons but you draw the line at black people because it’s not accurate enough apparently to portray them in anime?
@doopayo can or can't?
Can *
@doopayo I draw the line because often representation = wokeness. And many franchises fell for this. Ghostbusters, Ocean' 11, Charlie's Angels and so on
@doopayo I have no problem with representing others. I do have a problem when it's forced
Who is forcing anime to have more representation. How do you equate a few black people saying hey it would be kinda cool to have some more characters that looked like us equals advocating for forced representation?
Western media is very different from media in countries like japan since Japan is homogenous
@doopayo it's called influence
Only when they make sense.
In Japan of midieval Europe? Nah
you mean mideval japan not mideval Europe japan doesn't make sense
Your message doesn't make much sense.
You mean ‘mideval japan’ not ‘mideval Europe japan’. Doesn’t make much sense
no. anyone who asks this is a racist. you're looking for race
They all really have enough black/brown Anime Characters
To you
Only if it's relative to the story. If it's shoehorned in for diversity sake, than no.
No. Animae is Japanese and has nothing to do with Black people
I mean lu is Chinese in sakamoto days you can make her black immigrant or daughter of black immigrant in Japan yes they exist or killua father was Russian and mother was Japanese could had made his father black or make show based on Africa
I don't see why not but I don't think the Japanese are as obsessed with race as we are so I'm not holding my breath for a change like this.
Fine with me if the author is looking to appeal to a wider audience
Hell yeah with afro hair
need more those in japan firsts
It should be up to the Japanese anime community.
It's the creator's choice
It's up to the creator.
Don’t worry, I’ve got at least one
I’m gonna add another
