I hate how popular Hilda "my family keeps slaves" Goneril is. Like, uncritically popular. She's fine with slavery of characters with non-white skin tones. That alone should make her a lot more controversial than she is.

hey quick question why is there so much racism in the td fandom. like some of you aren't trying to hide it anymore. people will deadass post shit like "Raj is so much worse than Wayne and so much more annoying" and see. nothing wrong with that. they're basically the same character with one or two Very Important differences. how strange Raj gets more hate tho and absolutely nothing weird about it even though noone has been able to give a proper reasoning for hating Raj

The fact that the RainWing stereotype was confirmed as right is kinda racis- I'm going to stop you there. Different cultures have different priorities, and we shouldn't judge the RainWings because one of theirs is relaxing and having a good time.

This is going to be fairly long, and also much more serious than my usual jjba meta. apologies in advance if i seem stilted: i have some issues with verbalizing things in a formal matter

Terunosuke Miyamoto's fate and portrayal are another egregious example of the subconscious bias present in Araki's work.

When I mention how Terunosuke was one of two characters to be given a fate worse than death in part 4, that he was the only p4 character to be nameless until years after the manga was completed, or that his fate was arguably undeserved, i am not saying anything new.

But I feel like not many people consider or realize that Terunosuke is canonically the only dark-skinned character in all of diamond is unbreakable.

Not only that, he is somewhat implied to be a foreigner in the manga (i cannot find a scan with a translation, but the canned drink he destroys is notably labeled as fruit lassi and it has a small drawing of an indian elephant on it).

In a part set in Japan, the only dark-skinned character, a character who is also implied to not be Japanese:

-is one of the few villains deemed irredeemable.

-is portrayed as uniquely sadistic, manipulative, and predatory, even when his actions are less or equally malicious than the actions of other characters. He kidnapped people and took hostages, but so did rohan. He threatened Josuke's family, but so did akira, and josuke was perfectly content with letting akira go to jail regularly.

-in fact, his crimes, crimes which are not unique among the cast of DIU, are deemed by Josuke to be as horrific as angelo's crimes, which were in fact uniquely horrible among the cast of diu.

-is given no characterization or motivation outside of sadism, to the point where he had no name for a good couple of years.

-is never mentioned or shown in canon again, which happens to few other DIU characters. Not even in the added davidpro epilogue scenes, which show other characters that were previously MIA after their respective arcs (such as toyohiro).

In fact, Davidpro actually makes his portrayal WORSE, all because of one small detail.

When his cover is shown onscreen, there's a small sticker on it that says, verbatim, "Morioh Public Library." Josuke hasn’t been to the library at that point. I may be reading in too deep, but the implication is that this sticker is part of his “body” and can’t be removed.

Terunosuke is the only dark skinned character in diamond is unbreakable, and the last proper shot of him is an image of him being..basically branded. It’s hard for this to not leave a bad taste in one’s mouth.

I do not think araki or davidpro were being intentionally malicious or bigoted in their handling of Terunosuke. The meaning of subconscious bias is that it is subconscious, so i do not think the enigma boy arc or terunosuke in general were written in bad faith .

However, the racism, colorism, and xenophobia that saturate his role in the story (to be a disposable and irredeemable villain who is only meant to be another obstacle in the face of our golden-hearted hero ) and his fate (to be literally dehumanized and locked away, never to be seen again, presumably for the "safety and greater good of morioh") are very clear.

Anti-discourse disclaimer fine text:

i am not trying to cancel jjba, diu, araki, davidpro, or any related concepts and parties, and i am not trying to make claims about the personal beliefs or agendas of hirohiko araki or members of david productions in any way, shape, or form. i am just writing about subconscious bias and how it possibly shaped a story arc in diu. i am not trying to give moral judgement to araki, davidpro, or any fans of jjba in this post. i am not trying to stop the collective you from enjoying things, just trying to inform. also, racism, xenophobia and colorism are bad. I edited this post due to quoting something based on an unofficial and incorrect translation and making a hypocritical point in the concluding paragraph.

zee being hispanic made me feel weird as a hispanic person. u really chose the laid-back guy? who can be construed as lazy, who likes disgusting food. who can even be seen as a guy who'd slack off for a party? given your only other canonically hispanic character is a charismatic man wirh a slight accent who flirts with everyone and says Spanish words all the time. maybe I'm being a bitch but I get such a strong yuck vibe from it.

Aita for staying quiet while knowing my parents would be murdered?

(authors note: if any of this sounds cliché or anything, it's probably because this story was built specifically on stereotypes and stuff. Like the whole point was making stereotypes. Also sorry if I infodumped here I'm really bad at not infodumping)

I ([undecided age, 13-16]F) am an angel from the royal family (AKA god bloodline). I'm quite sure my brother ([14-17]M) is kinda um... evil? He's like super power hungry. Oh also misogynistic, queerphobic, racist, ya know a piece of shit really.

He keeps up this "cute innocent little boy" appearance around pretty much everyone, and honestly the only reason I found out he was such a bigot was when I accidentally stumbled upon some notes and journal entries he left on his desk about his real thoughts and how he's nothing like what everyone thinks he's like and also killing our parents (the god and goddess) by poisoning their drinks at the next party (we have regular parties once a month to keep everyone entertained). So I kind of freaked out when I saw that.

He apparently wanted to kill them since he was next in line to become god. Which is not good considering his main goal seems to be to start multiple wars with the demons and kill them all (which btw like half of us angels are super racist against them for being evil or whatever but I know most of them are chill) and then slowly force all of the angels to become his slaves.

Now, I figured I should probably tell someone, like my parents, about how my brother wants to kill them. But then I realized he has a lot of power over me, since he's physically stronger, quite literally has more power over me (something something boys and men in the god bloodline have more power than girls and women, I don't know why that's still a rule in our supposedly not-misogynistic world), and has evidence to get me executed because he's caught me multiple times hanging out at the border between heaven and hell (thank goodness he doesn't know my girlfriend is a demon. Or that I'm dating a girl for that matter)

Anyway so I stayed quiet and didn't say anything out of fear that my brother would get me executed if I did. And you can probably guess what happened, mom and dad died.

I still feel super bad about knowing it was going to happen and not doing anything about it. Idk maybe I was just being selfish :( I mean I guess getting myself killed in order to stop my brother from being in power would have been better? But then mom and dad wouldn't believe me because of the fact that they'd know I was hanging out near the demon's territory, so then they'd get killed, and my brother would still be in power... But also what if mom and dad had believed me and managed to stop him before he could do anything?? aaaa this is so complicated :((

a lot of soren haters are a bunch of crackers who arent educated enough on racism to talk about him. feels like some of yall believe that racial minorities (yes he is one. this is not debatable he is literally a victim of racism) have to be palatable to you in order for you to accept them. sincerely a black tellius fan

I just remembered that I assigned entities to Struwwelpeter stories at somepoint, so here's that list:

Struwwelpeter - Corruption

Die Geschichte vom bösen Friedrich/The story of evil Friedrich - Slaughter

Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug/The sad story with the lighter - Desolation

Die Geschichte vom wilden Jäger/The story of the wild hunter - Hunt, obviously

Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher/The story of the thumb sucker - Flesh/Slaughter

Die Geschichte vom Suppen-Kaspar/The story of soup-Casper - End/Flesh?

Die Geschichte vom Zappel-Phillip/The story of wriggle-Phillip - Not an entity, just adhd

Die Geschichte vom Hanns Guck-in-die-Luft/The story of Hanns Look-in-the-air - Vast

Die Geschichte vom fliegenden Robert/The story of flying Robert - also Vast

Die Geschichte von den schwarzen Buben/The story of the black boys - Couldn't categorize that, but I do have a note that says "Bad and racist children get dunked in the ink pot & become the void to attone for their crimes" so maybe the Dark??

fun, i havent read any of those books but i appreciate the effort put into this
