The S-class has
An assassin
A rapist
A narcissist who humiliates her comrades
A guy who does blackface
An adult who still thinks he's a teenager
And one that doesn't even do his job

What a lame discussion huh
OPM was never into being politically correct, few examples above, if you can't tank it, then leave it, but please let's avoid this before someone says something they shouldn't (and that usually happens)

So we can't address or acknowledge problematic themes or events in stories we love?
What, are you afraid that acknowledging something offensive exists is going to 1 shot me?

Darkshine stereotype is literally the definition of BLACKFACING.

Flashy
Prisoner
Tatsumaki of course
Blackluster
Idk who this is. Child emperor is indeed a child, metal bat is technically a teenager. Do you mean king?
Metal knight is just playing defense, that’s all tbh.

Blast
Uhhhhh king?
Drive knight

And what exactly is the definition to you? Because working out and tanning with the end result of him having darker skin isn’t what Black face is.

On this note, though, **** PPP. He's a sex offender who strong-arms people into his harem.
Guy makes Ezra Miller look like a saint.
It's not based simply on skin colour, it's based on on giving off a dull, reflective shine. That's why some translations even call him Blackluster, as lustrous means shining, and is synonymous with bright, brilliant, radiant and luminous. So, the portrayal is much closer to a nice and shiny sports car than anything racially motivated.
As for his personality being based around it, like to an extent yes, but it's more a point of pride for him (something that he accomplished through insane levels of training and willpower). It's just a personality trait, not his overall personality. This is like saying that looking at himself in the mirror is Sweet Mask's entire personality.
That's not to say it's not racist/prejudiced (I personally don't have any real opinion there). I just disagree with a lot of the logic you used to come to that conclusion.

I can definitely see the gorilla thing (especially given the amount of Japanese media that does this shit). But I really strongly disagree with this other stuff.

Tbf, that's not an anime specific name. That was used in the less reliable translations of the manga as well, and the more popular anime subs went with it for some reason. In other anime subs they use Darkshine.

Anyways this is a discussion that won't lead to anything remotely productive, if anything it'll just lead to negative outcomes.
Personally I've always kinda felt that there is/was at least some degree of racist stereotyping in OPM, namely towards Darkshine, though I think that some claims people make are definitely reaches, but overall I think it'd be ignorant to not even acknowledge it existing. Recognize what's actually shown and implied, without going overboard about it. As for the tanning thing...well that would lead to a WHOLE other topic about bodybuilders, and I'm really not gonna bother getting involved in that, not to mention it's absolutely off-topic.
Anyways, political discussions on vs battle related forums are cringy ngl. Would hope it ends soon.

also, he just became black because of training hard, this can be interpreted as an insult to many black people who gotta work harder in life, ik this is very specif but this is japan's reality.
also, his body is 100% a stereotype, you can't even hide the black face in this situation...

Commander and Sus are the only ones arguing that point so I’d just say ignore their ignorant asses.

Kinda makes sense considering both him and EOW were sent after Orochi and Psykorochi failed to "destroy the fist that turned against God" (Saitama) so they should be stronger
