This is a weird one, I've never heard of this in my life aside from one other time and that was a conversation about Oliva, it's a niche stereotype from what I understand, saying this also actively removes context as to why Maria is overweight, it's a lot more complex then it being a stereotype, it's a direct contrast to Oliva's own physique and it explains his motivation of tying love to strength which he mentioned in BAKI. Bit of a joke, at times, but not racist.įor starters Oliva is not just 'intelligent and well-read', he's one of the most intelligent in the verse, in fact if you only include fighters the only people comparable to him are Yujiro and Kureha, virtually every time Oliva appears it emphasises his knowledge, even in Dou-II which lot's of people consider to be his weakest still shows him being knowledgeable about the story of Nomi no Sukune and has Nomi compliment his Japanese calling it excellent.Īlso this is the only possible positive thing you can say about Oliva? Not the fact he's consistently presented as being one of the strongest or the fact he tells Baki he needs to love to grow strong which leads to one of his biggest boosts. Everything about that character is in bad taste, even IF I think Itagaki meant no harm and just wanted to create a wild-man characterīiscuit Oliva is a good character. If you’re looking for caricatures in Baki, take Zulu for referenced.

It’s stuff like this that can potentially discourage creators from including diverse characters I also don’t get the “biscuit” thing, is that even a thing associated with black people, cause I’ve never heard of that.Īn unfortunately prevalent issue when it comes to the inclusion of diverse characters is people will often nit-pick how the character is represented, and see characterization that’s based in the character’s race and culture as “stereotyping”, whereas, if you stripped all that away, your basically creating a more bland character.

The fact that he lives in a maximum security prison could just as well be a social critique of America which has a disproportionate black incarceration rate.Īlso the fact that he’s a prisoner while not a prisoner is kindof empowering for a black character, I think, seeing as he’s risen above his un-free state, not to mention the symbolism of a black man, “free”, “unchained” and in a state of blatantly supreme power is pretty neat to. And stereotypes are a couple rungs below “caricature” in how offensive they might be. “Morbidly obese white girlfriend” is a pretty obscure stereotype, at best.
