Another day, another series of outrage perpetuated by those with chronically chaffed crap-holes. This time they’re angry about a character in One Punch Man known as Blackluster, who is a musclebound, dark-skinned character. Apparently depicting someone like this in a cartoon is now considered… “racist”.
Sankaku Complex is reporting that after seeing the character in the animated show, the intellectual slugs salivating for their next outrage parade slithered onto Twitter and began their march down the digital streets of social media.

Aight, One Punch Man, that character you’ve called “Blackluster” is definitely not okay. Holy hell. That’s like, as bad as the old Looney Tunes depictions of colored people.

I completely forgot about this character after season one of One Punch Man. I’m watching episode 22 of season 2 and I look up and all I see is this big ass nigga on my screen named Blackluster shining.
I’m not new to anime but the reminder of how anti Black it gets stays fresh. pic.twitter.com/jEC7GZYakj

The herniating rupture of butt cheeks echoed throughout the Twittersphere with a “crack” and “pop”, loud enough to perk up the ears and pique the interest of the Social Justice Judicature that hover over instances of offense like James Charles hovers his Tinder app over straight-male schlong.
ComicBook.com was quick to swoop in, taking up umbrage on behalf of those who whined about the black super-character on One Punch Man, writing…
“This fan makes the case that this arguably racist depiction of Blackluster is unique to the anime only, as the One-Punch Man manga seemed much more genuine in its approach to drawing a black character. J.C. Staff’s character design and lighting for the anime looks like it stepped right out of a 1930s blackflace cartoon.
“Seriously, the One-Punch Man anime staff may need to reconsider just how popular the anime is now. The diversity of the fanbase is widespread, with many people of color loving the saga of Saitama. Just something to keep in mind.”
This faux offense on behalf of a small denizen of anime fans, scraped up from the dark corners of Twitter doesn’t really represent the larger anime community outside of the small circle of people that the Social Justice types cement themselves to like Snoop Dogg to cannabis.
The reality is that the depiction of the character in the cartoon isn’t so far removed from his depiction in the manga years prior. You can see the comparison below.
This is just another instance of the Social Justice types trying desperately to derail the Japanese media industry. Thankfully when they tried that with Japanese artists who drew fan art of Nessa from Pokemon Sword & Shield, the artists quietly fired back by making more fair-skinned images of Nessa to troll their detractors.
I draw different version of Nessa from Pokemon Sword&Shield.

A welcome gesture from people who are, no doubt, tired of all the racism being pointed at Japanese culture for not folding to the demands of Cultural Communists.
