Jap draws cartoon about having a gorilla bf, :marseysnoo: deduce its about racism

https://old.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/18cnis5/disc_im_dating_a_gorilla_by_kou88450_oneshot

Comic is honestly cringe but having a (jap) character look like a gorilla is a long running gag in their media. Which is why despite being a :marseyblacked: :marseyrentfree: and that striking my mind first I thought it wouldn't feature too much in the discussion. Ofc that's not the case, redditors are convinced its about Africans.

Again, off the top of my head I can remember three gorilla characters in popular mangay, I've probably seen more just forgotten but it doesn't come into their mind

I don't understand how anyone can be on /r/manga and not have come across this trope in some obviously non racist context in the past. !anime

See gorilla, immediately think of black people

To be fair it's very weird how the comic states he's actually human. It would unironically be less weird if it did not bring attention to it

I agree. Like whats the logic behind a human literally looking like a gorilla

Its a running gag, Gintama did this for over 200 episodes, outright nicknaming the character Gori-san as in gorilla, while also making references to him looking like one. They even arrange a marriage between an actual gorilla and him. Japs just really like gorillas.
