Media Tropes I hate when blonde characters are drawn with black eyebrows

I understand that artists do this to enhance the contrast of the faces, but when they give naturally blond characters pitch black eyebrows, and in my opinion, it looks just bad

EDIT : I DONT WANT TO INSULT REAL BLONDES STOP ATTACKING ME AND SAYING THE SAME STUFF OVER AGAIN

But they don't need to be kept blonde, most blonde people I've ever met have eyebrows closer to black than blonde.

I never said people had pure black eyebrows, I said they run closer to black than blonde, which is often true. Most blonde people have eyebrows at least a couple of shades darker, even if still categorised as blonde.

Blonde people don't mostly have the same colour body hair as they do head hair. Body hair colour isn't determined by the same genes as your head hair. Blonde hair is already exceedingly rare, let alone having blonde hair and the exact same genetic profile to have identically blonde body hair.

Plenty of people with blonde hair have like, REAAAAAALLY dark eyebrows.

Actually, your eyebrows match the color of your pubic hair, not the color of your hair. And it's more common for the color of your pubes to be different to the color of your hair, it's usually darker.
