wow so nobody except one person saw the racism of the tall and straight out of jojo person with a darker skintone and the ridiculously petite white girl. Like the meme about racist pairing like that with the black person alway way bigger and more buff that their white lover was a way to denounce that dynamic, not a challenge you know? Do they not see how it looks and how it perpetuates the masculinization of black and brown women by people?

There is no "white girl" here, Miyuki is Japanese. Momoko is also Japanese. Miyuki said she likes buff women so Momoko got buff to impress the girl she likes. Also Sono the Japanese mangaka behind this work just loves big buff women as we know because of her other works. So trying to frame this as Sono making a race fetishism comic is a massive stretch and leap.

They certainly misspoke when they said “white girl” instead of light-skinned, but they did not try to frame the issue as Sono making a race fetishism comic—dark-skinned characters being portrayed as innately more masculine/aggressive/less intelligent/etc (not saying these are all present here) is an example of colourism, which is a very real form of prejudice. I recommend you read up on it yourself. Momoko did not get buff to impress the girl she likes; Momoko is a character without agency, who the mangaka specifically designed as a dark-skinned buff woman. This is something Sono actively went out of their way to do. It’s not about “race fetish,” it’s about conscious and subconscious biases in society. There’s a reason innocence is portrayed as blonde-haired and blue-eyed.
