Apparently season two of One Punch Man has introduced a new character who happens to be black and the Twitterverse sounded off. I've never seen the show, as it just doesn't appeal to me, but I know it's much beloved. The guy doesn't seem that out of the ordinary...

There's a lot of real things that black ppl should be outraged at....a fuckin anime character isn't one of them.

Compared to the usual representation of black people in anime, this is completely fine.

I find this funny because so many other anime shows in recent years still do this, yet my boi Saitama getting shafted.

Sometimes being recognized/popular is not a good thing, and I'm sure people don't know that a lot of the illustrators for Shonen Jump draw like this.

 

Very easy to identify.
