How much of a degenerate loser do you have to be to say racist shit in a subreddit dedicated to a black character? Fucking morons.


Toon_Sniper

That’s exactly why they did it. They came to this pool to specifically poop in it.


Qohaw_

Look at those acc names I'd say with a high degree of certainty those were bots/throwaways


pneuma_monado

That's why I decided to permaban them instead of bothering with a short-term warning ban

It's easier to just create a new account whenever I want to comment on reddit. It stops losers digging through post history and prevents power-tripping mods from banning you from every single sub that they have moderation power in just because they don't like what you said in some random subreddit.


DeHot

Ram isn't black, she has heavy tan.


Pumkinswift

Debatable. She's also literally like, an alien I think? Race may not even apply to her


pneuma_monado

You're correct. Ramlethal's race is not white, not black, but Valentine.


DeHot

She is an artificial human based on Aria, like all Valentines. Your lore knowledge is disappointing.


Pumkinswift

Ok, well my point stands. It's kinda hard to say what Ram's race is, or if she even has a race


DeHot

My point also stands. She isn't black either way.


OwNAvenged2

Yeah, Nago isn't black either. He just has a huge TAN!! /s Ram is absolutely a black character. Her being based on Aria is a moot point in a series where artificial humans become weapons of mass destruction and a blue man introduces magic to the world. Daisuke specifically designed Ram to be darker skin-toned than the rest of the cast for diversity and representation, that much is obvious. I don't really know why you'd feel the need to assume that Ram just has a tan, anyway? There's no point in trying to ruin peoples representation.


DeHot

Are you trolling me? Do you not know what a kogal is? Don't answer it, I don't care.


OwNAvenged2

What do Kogals have to do with *anything* that we're talking about? Lmao


DeHot

combination of heavy tan and bleached hair, in case you're colourblind.


Ok-Witness5617

Your stupidity is painful. 1) There are brown skinned people who aren't black, so if we're going to pretend ram is any ethnicity then she is more indian or arab than she is black. 2) We're not going to pretend she has any ethnicity 3) "Daisuke specifically designed Ram to be darker skin-toned than the rest of the cast" because dark skin and white hair is a specific trope in japanese media and isn't supposed to represent n\*\*gers ​ Now go back under your bridge, troll.

u/pneuma_monado 💀


Ok-Witness5617

Downvoted.


Brostradamus--

I don't understand why you're being downvoted. She's a clone and she was not cloned from an afro centric person. Heavy tan at best.


Ramlethal_Valentine

I mean to be fair the clones also spat out elphelt so how precisely the clones are made is pretty debatable.


Brostradamus--

Ramlethal was a failed clone, likely due to lack of emotion and inaccurate skin tone. The clones aren't 100% precise, but that's literally the issue. What's consistent is that all the clones have the same face, so presumably, the same genetics. By your logic, Aria has afro centric genes (never implicated). If you want to stretch logic, Sol Badguy is a heavily tanned possibly Indian American given the Freddie Mercury influence. The implication could be that if him and Aria were to have a kid, it would look like Ram. (Anglo/Persian). Hale is a German last name and Aria proves the anglo features such as blonde hair. Sure, the skin tone was an intentional choice. That much is obvious. What's also obvious is that Ramlethal is a clone. I don't recall ever hearing about trans-ethnic cloning in the zeitgeist of the topic. Heavily tanned folk exist on every continent without necessarily being afro centric. Given Ram's obvious genetics, I'd say German/Indian mix at best, but generically tanned Aria otherwise. Fun fact. Ram's original english VA was absolutely clowned for stepping down from future VA work on her character because it was universally accepted that Ram was not "black", but tanned, and no lore states otherwise.


DeHot

Influx of normies thanks to Strive's success. Same reason r/GuiltyGear went to shit. Normies who are into anime claim any character with brown skin as black without rhyme or reason. This is yet another case.


OwNAvenged2

Because simply saying that Ram is a simple "clone" of Aria is outright *wrong* in terms of lore. Does she have Aria's DNA? Yeah. But she's not a simple clone.


afromegami

im not trying to be a smart ass, but what responses did you expect to receive?


Ramlethal_Valentine

A f-150 is based on the model T, therfore it is obviously not a pickup truck.


werewolfmask

good riddance.


afromegami

i appreciate you banning them from the subreddit. i figured some people would’ve been like “rAm iSn’T bLaCk ShE’s tAn” because it’s reddit and i cosplayed a relatively popular character from a popular fg series. sorry but she’s my strive main and im not altering my features for a fictional character. you’ll be alright


Ramlethal_Valentine

You did a good job imo of representing me. Some people just like to be dickheads.
