So I noticed that things such as Race and Skin Color actually matter even in an Eroge.
When I was young I was naive to think that fantasy worlds are a world we can escape to and be our own heroes in those lands, but surprisingly even when Japanese Eroge can make Orcs as male partners and even co-leads alongside heroines in some eroge, we still can't see any dark-skin protagonists that even vaguely resemble Black people in hairstyles and skin color... And when Black men appear they mostly appear in contemporary Japanese modern NTR settings... and never in Western-inspired settings whether it's fantasy or sci-fi......
Makes you think that all those long history Black people have in Western history means nothing for Japanese people, right? To the point they have to make fantasy or Western-setting Eroge all starred by White Male Protagonists...
I think it's the color of the skin... Japanese relate more to White Men because the skin tones of White Men and Japanese Men are not too vastly different... That's why Japanese Eroge and even normal games like Resident Evil can have White Male Protagonists, but not Black Male Protagonists, because Japanese Men can't relate to Black guys because the skin color is too different to self-insert as compared to a White Caucasian Male.
So it's kinda vexing that even in 2025, people are still judged and liked or ostracized and othered because of different skin colors, right?
I have played many games where the MC doesn't share the same color and race like me and enjoyed them as much as ones where the MC is the same color as me, so I am not racist, but apparently the Japanese are so racist they can't even make or play one Western-setting Eroge with a Black Male MC in NTR or any genre???
Yeah, so "White Privilege" is alive still in Japan...
If your White, you're the subject of adoration and relatability in Japan?
But if your Black? Hah, you might as well look like "gorillas" to those Asians obsessed with Caucasian light skin aesthetics, as they have a very very specific set of beauty standards, even though from my eyes I can see many Japanese Men IRL who many have below-average plain looks that seem even less attractive than some Black Men who have handsome faces...... So they labeled Black men as "less attractive" for stylized content when some real-life Japanese Men look even more nerdy and less aesthetically pleasing in the facial attractiveness compared to some hot Black men, forgetting is not the color of the skin but the facial features that actually determines relative good looks.
Anyway, that's all my rant for today...... I just had to get this off my chest, disappointed that JP Eroge isn't as diverse as Live Action JAV Pron that has too many Black Male Actors...
Black Men should boycott working for JAV studios until more Black Representation in Eroge is fulfilled......
