>character is asian>has literal slits for eyesIs this still acceptable in modern cartoons? Its crazy to think that this was just standard in kids media for a while.
>>150980666>go to asia>they all have slits for eyesWtf /co/mblr said this wasnt real
>>150980677where'd you go?
>>150980666It's cute so most people don't care, also depending on the simplicity of the artstyle it's one of the only ways to depict a character as asian.
it's crazy to think that people used to be normal 20 years ago

>>150980913Posts here are regularly just as cringeworthy as that "did thanos shit this diaper?" Post from reddit
>>150980913>That seems weirdly fittingWhat are you, retarded?
>>150980956Somewhat
>>150980723>depending on the simplicity of the artstyle it's one of the only ways to depict a character as asianEh, I don’t know, there are plenty of Asian characters without slant eyes that are still identifiable as Asian, but yeah, it’s at least the most recognizable way to tell.Generally the difference in shape is less so than the eyelid folds, and both Asian and non-Asian eyes are a far departure from the circle eyes non-Asians are given.Chloe from We Bear Bears has circle eyes in a simpler style and there’s no doubt there that she’s Asian.
>>150980666>why is it acceptable to draw Asians how they look in real life (when full-blooded and without eyelid surgery)Wut.
>>150980666The Japanese themselves do this for various characters. It's literally not an issue.
>>150980920No it goes Ka-Chong.

Are we posting cute asians now?
>>150982472>has a tiger mom like that>a happy and carefree kid
>>150980666its more that she smiles so much that her eye becomes a squint. also when you think about it everyone in KND has obscured eyes. numbuh 1 and 2’s eyewear, numbuh 4’s hair, numbuh 5’s hat. its a good trick to save on animating their eyes and makes them look cooler.
>>150983581came here to post this lol.I can't imagine the self-hatred it takes to look at an accurate portrayal of your own phenotype and think it's bigoted.
>>150983970The problem is they're insecure. They consider it a "bad feature" rather than "a feature".

>>150982162Holy, that's real? What kind of evolution damaged them like this?
>>150980913>That seems weirdly fittingnigga, you barely fit as a sentient being, the fuck would you know about fitting?
>>150984109In theory it's supposed to shield the eyes in harsh environments.
>>150984131That only makes sense if they didn't have eyelids.
>>150984042>bruva,Opinion discarded
>>150984109It's believed that the populations that inhabit East Asia today originated somewhere in Siberia during the Ice Age, and having more narrow eyes helps to reduce light refraction off of the snow, which can be absolutely blinding at times. It's the same reason Native populations in Alaska and Northern Canada invented these really thin-slit snow goggles.
>>150984174Now that does make sense but I'm surprised this had enough impact to cause enough deaths to solidify this as the population default.
>>150984142BROTHER!
>>150982162>when full-blooded and without eyelid surgeryDidn't know the Chairman was a hapa.
>>150984232It’s almost like variation exists.Why are people ITT so confused? Yes, not all Asians have tiny eyes. It’s like saying there are no Asian women with giant titties. Of course there are. What even is this thread?
>>150984196Being a nomadic hunter-gatherer and being completely blinded by snow when you're living in Siberia can be a life or death moment anon. I imagine that over tens of thousands of years a whoooole lot of people got killed by getting separated from their group, not being able to see a predator, failing to notice that the ice ahead of you was too thin, etc.
>voiced by an half asian>has slanted eyes and a buckktoothUnironically, how did they get away with it?
>>150984300All cartoons must look like stereotypes because
>>150980666I would like to see her feet
>>150980666Numbah 3 can get away with it. The writers could just say her eyes are slits because she's always smiling.We see her eyes when she's angry or serious, so maybe her closed eyes is just because she's smiling.
>>150984306I'm getting an autistic urge to simulate that via programming but I do not want to act upon it because it will take over the next few hours of my day.I see the argument but I'm curious how many generations of certain size have to pass if a few people each generation get killed for not having a particular gene variation to assert it as the main variant.
>>150980666>character is asian>has literal sticks for legsWhat the…
>>150984300>Why are people ITT so confused? Yes, not all Asians have tiny eyes. It’s like saying there are no Asian women with giant titties. Of course there are. What even is this thread?A genuine theory I have that I feel like is moderately controversial in multiple circles for a couple of reasons is that I legitimately believe a lot of race shit is because of hyperfixation from lower-functioning autists, specifically, like this is the same site where you'll see people try to apply race to non-human characters.You'll see this sort of scenario all the time, funneled in different ways; sometimes it's someone looking at non-white character like Trixie Tang (Asian-American) or AJ (Black) from Fairly Oddparents, and they're genuinely confused that they have blue eyes, in a way that earnestly suggests they don't really comprehend the difference between stylized fiction rather than something visually grounded in reality - they're unable to suspend their disbelief because the visual element leaps out at them in ways that trigger their sense of "unrealistic elements" despite consuming something that's not even trying to be realistic, and autists notoriously struggle to keep a strong boundary between what is and isn't real.Other times it's someone getting weirdly "offended" per se that a character doesn't look like a caricature in such a way that implies they have some kind of textbook autistic faceblindness. You make an Asian character that isn't a beady-eyed chink and someone here will get genuinely confused because they think it's not realistic, like the autistic "category" takes precedence over the nuance of actual real-world genetic variance. It's especially when it involves colors (kind of overlapping with the previous example) that really clued me in on the autism relativity, I've seen plenty of brown Asians in my lifetime, but I've never once seen an actual instance of someone that's straight up yellow, like a walking block of cheese.
>>150980666Honestly think slant eye's look sick, it depends a lot on the character in KND, Sector C has a lot of variety on eye's, same with J.
>>150982332>Asia doesnt exist in Pokemon worldNOBODYFUCKINGTELL HIM
>>150984766Blue eyes among Black people is a thing in reality, but rare.I think that a lot of the conversation around cartoon characters resembling/not resembling stereotypes is made are made by people who are trying to stir up controversy.
>>150982332THESE DONUTS ARE GREAT
>>150984766>like this is the same site where you'll see people try to apply race to non-human characters.Everyone on the modern internet does it
>>150985110>>150984766People get so autistic about this, man.You could have like a dog character or something with a black voice actor exhibiting the most black mannerisms speaking in aave wearing gold chains and shit, but if you suggest he's black, people sperg out going "ERM, ACKCHULLY, HES A DOG"

>>150980666When I was 10, I had a massive crush on this... thing.
drawing asians are hard. not even japan draws themselves accurately asian
>>150984300There's a lot of Asians who don't have slanted eyes. Some Chinese demographics have ancestry from the Middle East or Russia, and you likely couldn't tell that they were Chinese without being told.>>150984766A lot of autists/midwits don't grasp that while there are unique features exclusive to various ethnic groups, there are usually OTHER demographics within that ethnic group with different features. There are Indians who look more Asiatic, Arabic, or even European compared to the stereotypical idea of an Indian that most people have. There are Russians who look Asian. There are Mexicans who look African, Spanish, Native, Japanese, etc. >>150988200Read Scott McCloud. The Japanese don't draw themselves with specific ethnic features for the same reason that other ethnic groups (the French, Anglo-Americans, Mexicans, etc) don't. Not a single race prefers cartoons to generally have too-specific realism, mostly when it comes to faces. The more details on a face, the harder it is to identify with and project onto. This is partly why the artist in pic related >>150983581 has a complex about Asian characters with slant eyes. A lot of Asian-Americans are culturally raised native in their households, but grow to become more culturally Anglo-American in school and at work. Despite Asian-Americans leaning hard into the "model minority" framework, they're constantly reminded by Anglos that they will never truly be accepted as "white". There's also the other matter of second generation Asian-Americans wanting to date white people but either get rejected, or fight with their family (who would rather have them marry an Asian who comes from wealth).You should watch Bao or skim the Wikipedia article for Turning Red, it pretty much examples this.
>>150986307Nice projection
>>150988200It can and has been done before, both by East Asians and Westerners (Disney's 'Mulan' easily comes to mind). The way I see it, a core part of the issue (subconscious/internalized Eurocentric beauty standards aside) is that many (if not most) figurative artists, including cartoonists and mangaka, tend to suffer from same-face syndrome, even when they happen to be pretty skilled otherwise.
>that one time beavis and butthead had to hang out with a foreign exchange student and they thought he was coolIf Beavis and Butthead can like Asians, why can't /co/? https://youtu.be/zjhZ1TPmH-w?si=2zfNt9ECn9ue5VVP
>>150980747Nigga, blame white bitches for this shit. They're the ones who can't deal with heavy shit so they imagine everything to be more "safe" and "wholesome".
>>150986377>Like they're in your fucking face about how Japanese the Kanto region is.My guy, it's called Kanto. That's the point.
>>150983532She grew up to be like thatShe gives her daughters all the toys she couldn't have as a kid
>>150980666How Asian is she, by the way?
>>150988512I don't believe this "projecting one's self onto simplified faces" at all. I'm entertained by individual quirks and want to see that in a cartoon, not generalities in the hopes I identify with it. Empathy doesn't require sharing common traits with the audience, rather behaving or looking a kind of way that an audience would understand emotionally.
>>150980666but this is what they look like
>>150988512While I have never, not once, projected myself onto a cartoon not "identified" with a cartoon character, your points about ethnicities not being a monolith is fully correct. My grandma is Asian. She had red hair and pale blue eyes. Only in her old age when her hair went stark white did she look more "Asian" to most people until they noticed her eye colour.My wife is Caribbean-Indian Dougla so my kid is mixed as fuck: Central European, Southern European, Central Asian and East Asian from my side, West African and South Asian from hers. Likely also North European because you know how those Brits liked raping their black slaves. And with all that? He looks Puerto Rican lmaoAnd to exemplify it further, my wife and I last weekend went to the Indian supermarket and there was this white guy with a bhindi. He was extremely pale and very European looking except he had the same impossibly black hair I do. Not uncommon to see white people in this store. They set out a lunch buffet so I figured he was there for that shit but then the motherfucker starts speaking Kashmiri on the phone. And I only know it's Kashmiri because when some auntie started talking to him in Punjabi after he hung up, he responded "kashmiri" which she then repeated back with a tone of surprise.Asia has so many variants but Europeans only ever think of the stereotypical East Asian look
>>150991075>My grandma is Asian. She had red hair and pale blue eyes.Was she albino?
Draw Numbah 3 with a big butt
>>150988124You had god tier taste as a operative, anon.
>>150991122That doesn't describe albinos at all dude.
>>150991122No.
>>150984766Tbh there ARE two types of Japanese.Jomon were on Japan earlier, and have more blood ties to older groups like the Ainu (which is why they are hairier, have bigger eyes and are in general manlier) - Jomon historically are the aristocratic and richer class and have a lot of media presence (which is ironic considering what happened with the pure blooded ainu).Meanwhile the Yayoi are a later migratory group from china/Korea and make the bulk of Japan's population.
>>150991760Indeed. People raging about /pol/ race analisys and just doesn't have actual anthropological knowledge of these groups.Like >>150987371

>>150991601Easy to guess: Central Asia, probably Tatar, Kyrgyz or Kazakh or some such, one of those former barbarian nomad tribes that kidnapped so many White girls into sex slavery while pillaging under the Mongol banner that they literally became half-White.
>>150980666She can open her eyes, Satan. She just does this to show the audience how blissful she is.
>>150992037Kojima just decided he would not age past 25 on day.However since he left Konami he's been slowly morphing into Hideki Tojo.
>>150993422Nigga, Dimash is right there in the picture. That tells you which country.
>>150989678I always appreciate how varied someone like Genndy can make his designs look
>>150991760>Jomon historically are the aristocratic and richer class It's actually the reverse. The ancestral Japanese aristocracy was predominantly of Yayoi descent (as evinced, for instance, by the standard physiognomies of Noh masks). That said, some degree of admixture with the Jomon must have happened early on regardless, although it likely occurred most often among members of the warrior class.
>>150991808If we consider as hapas the descendants of admixtures that happened as early as 2000 years ago, what even counts as a "full-blooded" East Asian?
>>150993651I think that’s DeStefano
I'm pretty sure this one is white actually.
>>150994259oh my bad
>>150990914>I don't believe this "projecting one's self onto simplified faces" at all.to be fair that's a self-insert thing, and 4chan is absolutely loaded with unironic self-inserters
>>150982313And then he was broght back because no one actually cared. That and Tracy was a boring replacement.
>>150994235>>150994244>>150994251>>150994264>>150994272>>150994284I remember kids picking up on this from a few anime like Pokemon in the late 90s and it causing one of those weird disconnects where adults thought we were being racist even though we just understood it to be a way to mock someone. It's funny how your kid brain can just pick up on culture cues like that and adopt them without even so much as a second thought.
>>150995391Oh that and the "pulling down your lower eyelid and sticking your tongue out" thing, although that one just confused adults.
>>150991760To complement my previous post >>150993940, it's worth mentioning that the Jomon were still technically an Asian ethnic group. Furthermore, they were likely already quite mixed with "standard" East Asians long before the arrival of the Yayoi, given that, genetically, they can be placed somewhere between Austronesians and Northeast Asians.

>>150986186They dont hate them nearly as much as me
>>150996913>blue eyed people all share the same common ancestorCommon myth. It's all people with a specific mutation of the OCA2 gene who are descended of a common ancestor. That mutation, coupled with a faulty HERC2 gene creates blue eyes.However, there are other genes that can cause blue eyes and, besides this, eye colour is polygenic IE a bizarrely complex genetic mishmash. There are about a dozen different genes that interact with each other to create eye colour, but the easiest, though not only, way to get blue eyes is a broken HERC2 gene failing to fully activate the mutated OCA2 gene. Just two simple genes. That's it, in that case. But there are other ways, though these other routes to blue eyes are much more complex and much less common. For example, the interplay of the SLC24A4, SLC45A2, TYR and TYRP1 genes also cause blue eyes, but it's more common in Asian populations like >>150991075's grandmother and the woman in the top left corner of the picture in >>150991601, than in European ones, and the blue it produces tends to be darker. If you notice the picture of that woman, her blue eyes are a deeper/darker blue than the typical European blue. That's because they're blue by different means. And this doesn't even begin to touch things like Waardenburg syndrome, which causes a white forelock, genetic deafness and wide-set, extremely blue eyes. Like… cobalt blue.So no: not everyone with blue eyes is descended of some dude from the Black Sea area. PopSci has been an enormous fucking detriment to society and I fucking hate it so goddamn much.
