Why did they make Jynx black?>N-NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! VALKYRIES AND GYARUS HAVE PITCH BLACK GOLLIWOG SKIN! IT'S A HARMLESS REFERENCE!!!
>>59227401Japanese culture has a storied history of blackface ever since America opened up the country in the 19th century. They basically got their own version of America’s “plantation nostalgia” and had stuff like our uncle remus and aunt jemima
>>59227401Japanese lack the White trait of empathy, simple as.
>>59227401Pokémon blatantly ripped off Akira Toriyama's designs, specially Dragon Quest.Jynx is a rip off of Mr Popo.
>>59227445>white trait of empathywhites lack that trait though, only "whites" mixed with the superior MENA peoples have that trait.
>>59227520It’s actually rip off of a dragon quest monster like half of Gen 1
>>59227401She's based on the Yama-uba as well as Yamanba, the gyaru style named after said mountain witch.
>>59227401>human shape pokemon>predicting “white chicks” (2004)It was a joke. Long noses bullied japs until they cucked out and buried their racist pocketsu monsterPeople are naturally frightened of the uncanny valley, so you could also just say a nebulous void in a fat lady costume would be terrifying and in the spirit of gen 1, no matter how well it sings and dances or illicits crash outs from queers.
>>59227401Designers were drunk as fuck when they came up with the dogshit humanoid pokemon and just stuck with them afterwards.
>>59227741Gen 1 human like trio designs were the most thought out of any gens human likes, and by a large margin.
>>59227556Specifically the Non masked Noh version as the mask has a human skintone.
>>59227524consoomers here have unuronically told me I'm retarded for saying that Golbat seems to be based on Dracky
Jynx should have been Ghost/Ice since is just a amorphous black mass with eyes, possessing a wig and dress. It's no different from a Gastly, Cloyster and Tangela. It's not actually black skin, just hidden
>>59227524>>59227852And DQ monsters are just ripoffs of D&D, which in of itself is just a ripoff of high fantasy like LotR, which probably ripped off something else, and it's just a chain of plagiarism all the way until you reach Grug's cave paintings, depicting him having anal sex with a beast.
>jinx entry: it can sing, but the sounds have no meaning, it communicates via body language and danceMy head canon>>59227955It’s not dead though, more like a shapeshifter with a dedicated form, albeit probably made out of ice and psychic juice.
>>59227401Hurry, let's sue India for using blackface for 3000 years!
