bosspigeon:princelamb:stephanos-spaceopera:He LITERALLY reacts like this when you beat him TWICEraihan is literally one of the SWEETEST characters in the game, people are so racist they just straight up ignore his VERY OBVIOUS nice personality and just default him to scary black man and its vilealso love that people keep calling him “dumb” and a “himbo” when he’s, uh, canonically the most tactically inclined gym leader you face in the game. he specifically uses weather effects to his advantage (to the point of pairing a ground type with sandstorm with a steel type so neither of his pokémon take damage, and proudly acknowledging if the player uses weather effects to negate his), AND he’s an actual historian!!! he is in charge of the vault and its artifacts!!! like that’s his job!!! stop reducing him to the big dumb scary black man y'all’s racism is showing HARD -- source link
