1. why are you just laying fallacies on me? you're presuming that those are models. ok, let's grant they are, that doesn't follow my argument that the aggregate japanese people(s) have similar tones. they absolutely do have a very narrow tone range, whereas in hentai it's unnaturally wide. i'm speaking about aggregate realities.
2. i have no idea what's being said here. are you saying they portray delinquent characters (who are often male mc's) as darker because of western thought? i have zero idea how that translates or what evidence there is for that. maybe you could argue field or rice workers because they're lower status and often have tans, and lower status could translate to more potential for low status behavior such as criminality? idk what whiteism is but it sounds jewish, so cool gl with that.

see the response above. fallacy.

this makes the most sense so far, simple artistic choice carried on naturally through culture to make clear delineations between characters. it surprises me though, if true, japanese men don't find this wholly disgusting.

i'd agree, since most people were farmers until relatively recently in history, but it just didn't hold up to my instinctual thought about modern life of average people who aren't shirtless in a rice field all day.
