The one that always bothers me is in anime where they will be one character who's drawn half a shade darker than the rest of the cast, not a character who's actually intended to be dark skinned but all the others will be pale and this one character will be slightly tinted darker, usually to show they're sporty. Inevitably a group of people in fandom will immediately decide that this character is dark-skinned and make obnoxious 'where did his melanin go?' comments on every fanart that doesn't follow their preferred coloring. Especially for manga if the official art is super inconsistent with skin coloring, so some of the paler art is accurate to different color pages too. If people want to headcanon the character darker and draw them that way fine, but it annoys me so much when they start policing others for not following their headcanon (or saying 'character being [x ethnicity] is so important to me,' cool, fine, but that isn't their canon ethnicity and no one else is required to draw them that way).

It's especially dumb because it's a reflection of the very real fact that Japanese people tend to get VERY tan when they're out in the sun a lot. It's meant to be a tan, not an indication that the character is something other than Japanese.
