So here's the post that could destroy my page.
First off, Charon is my Second Favourite character after Konro and has been for a good year.
I've seen a lot of people get angry recently that Shinra referred to Charon as a gorilla and many are taking this to be a racist slur.
I, personally, do not believe it was meant in that context. Please let me explain my reasoning, I don't wish to fight or argue, this is something that's been bothering me and I would like to put my understanding across.
Can I just give one observation? And I am by no means defending this at all and many people have pointed out how this is so inappropriate.
However, Captain Obi is often referred to as a gorilla, many times, Maki is also referred to as a gorilla, many times - mostly by herself.
I'm hoping beyond all hope that when Shinra called Charon a gorilla, this was meant to imply his brute strength and size - because they don't get much bigger or finer than my boy, Charon - rather than a racial slur.
Maki gets the impression people think she's a 'gorilla cyclops'. This is because she is a muscled goddess with amazing strength.
Obi is called a gorilla by various people, mostly Hibana, and again, this is reference to the fact he is a huge, buscle bound Himbo body builder. Though Hibana seems to think he's all muscle and no brain.
Charon is one of the largest character designs, he's huge, he's full of muscles which protect his soft heart from damage - he's such a worry wort for Haumea.
He is also very strategic and dangerous, Charon is a real big hitter and well respected by his peers despite his sometimes annoying habit of asking endless questions (which I think is cute).
I got off track a bit but in conclusion.
It is my belief that when Shinra called him a gorilla it was in the same context as when Maki or Obi are referred to as such - A big, muscle bound force of nature. I honestly do not think this was a racial slur.
