#idk how to explain it but. having a character compliment a tan feels like smth that is usually only said by paler ppl yknow?

dark skinned ppl do get tans, it’s usually just not as noticeable as pale ppl. That being said it is funny when Alex compliments your tan as a brown player. Reminds me of the time my little brother got told smth like “oh are you getting a head start on your tan” in early summer when. That’s just how his skin tone is

#sdv #its also funny cuz like. I’m not saying concerned ape is racist or whatever but it rly reveals that he ofc has a pale person’s perspective #idk how to explain it but. having a character compliment a tan feels like smth that is usually only said by paler ppl yknow? #or towards ppl that are usually pale #cuz when ppl think tan they usually think of a specific color and that color is kinda just what my family and I look like normally #not saying it’s a tasteless thing to say I just think it’s interesting cuz that compliment probably makes more sense to say to a pale playe #and shows that yeah ca’s perspective as someone with pale skin effects the experience of someone darker in an interesting #and likely unintended way #I just think it’s interesting when a creator’s qualities end up showing through in small ways
