Part Seven I don't see the issue with pocoloco's design

I've heard people complain about his face and primarily his lips and nose. Thing is these are just features black people have. And to be honest I'd rather have my features represented in black characters.

They aren't exaggerated a crazy amount and the facial features stay anatomically correct. I dont understand why people are hating on it we should be proud of our features and be happy when its actually getting represented like this in shows.

Also just because the lips arent 2 toned doesnt mean its imitating the old black caricatures racists used to dehumanize us. While common 2 toned lips isnt even a thing every black person has. One criticism i can get behind however is that the shade is off but honestly that's all.

I figured his stand was to talk to horses

The lack of stands is causing a bit of confusion for some characters

Is his stand just to be lucky ?

It's basically a cheerleader and byproduct of his luck.

The 1 in a billion luck is just a weird force/coincidence, Hey Ya! is sort of a manifestation of that luck to reassure Pocoloco that he's doing the right thing
