  Oh no! People have sexual preferences and like a fictional character? How could this happen?

  Also the quote is obviously fake, but don’t go looking into anything before you get mad. That would be far too sensible for the internet.

  You do know that the author is a POC, right?

    Depends how you want to define PoC.

    The author is fair skinned, like most Japanese.

    So this quote does kinda come off as fetishistic.

    Here’s the kicker though - who cares?

    Author of a manga likes brown girls. If that bothers anyone, go find something worth giving a fuck about.

    Sure, sure. I highly doubt this quote is real, though the author being Japanese and saying this character is “tan” so they can see “cute brown girls” cosplaying does not make it better. It is also almost certain that all the commenters and upvoters of this trash are white.

      ‘Tan’ is an honorific meaning cute girl. It’s an even cutesier version of ‘chan’, if you are familiar with that honorific. These two honorifics are most commonly used when addressing familiar, young girls and has nothing to do with their skin color.

        I don’t think that’s how it’s being used in that quote. “I made her tan so I could see cute brown girls” doesn’t make sense if it’s being used an an honorific because, like you said, it has nothing to do with skin color. It’s like saying “I used -Sama so I could see cute brown girls.”

      Having an attraction =/= having a fetish.

      Also, such a weird backwards idea… “fetishizing people of colour”.

  And yet, here we are with brown and some black women cosplaying her…
