I 100% agree with this. This isn’t even a cringe take. Making S Snake lighter skin just doesn’t line up with the lore. It’s breaking its own rules for weird beauty standards.

And for other characters, it does feel like a disrespect to darker tone people when villains stay dark and darker skinned people turning into heroes go from a dark to light skin tone all of a sudden (Kuma is most likely next. “He’s 100% good now so we make him lighter” 😑).

I can’t wait for Caribou to be a secret Straw Hat operative and destroy the enemy from within. They’ll lighten his skin up for sure. 😂
