Why are there so many more Chinese games on phones than on PC or PlayStation 5? And why are all the male characters like this?
>>737535783Buff guys were never really normalized in Asian popular culture like they were in West. While American movies with the buff action heroes did get released in Asia, there wasn't really home-grown stars that were like that.It goes even for pro wrestling, which typically has pretty abnormal looking people. It's only fairly recently that Japan and China have gotten more guys with physiques like what American guys had in 80s.
>>737535783rice fed vs buckwheat fed
>>737535783Asians love their men feminine, especially Japan and South Korea.
>>737535783mobile gaming is more profitablesimple matfs
You have to pay platforms (even Steam) to host the gameMost phones are desperate for literally anyone to use apps because they’re useless and outclassed by regular html browsers
>>7375357831. consoles used to be banned in china2. china uses internet cafes for pc gaymen3. phones are accessible, portfolio, and integrated in their country
>>737535783>left: average /v/ poster>right: average non 4chan user
>>737535783Having a big arm isn't a good measure of strength. Look at Kurt Angle who is an Olympic level wrestler and can defeat Brock Lesnar in a matter of seconds.Another thing people don't realize is if they are doing chin-ups/pull-ups it's mostly back muscles doing all the work.
muscles are gay
>>737535783>Why are there so many more Chinese games on phones than on PC or PlayStation 5?Because console gaming was banned or heavily restricted for decades and you had to appeal to the CCP to even get games released in mainland China with restrictions and censorship at times. Why do you think the iQue exists at all? Why do you think Nintendo made PC ports for the Nvidia Shield?PC gaming is almost exclusively a net cafe thing where people are playing on public PCs, not PCs in their own homes.China is also a major hub for piracy, counterfeiting,and bootlegs so it's very hard for legitimate businesses to release in China with a free model. It's why almost everything is F2P out of there and they only really ever buy stuff from Steam.>And why are all the male characters like this?Because Asia in general views outwardly buff manly men as appealing to extremely gay men compared to the west where we look at guys like Schwarzenegger or Stallone and think they're super cool role models.
>>737535783East asians consider anybody with significant musculature to be fetish material or downright disfigured. It isn't a trait they find attractive at all. Bruce Lee is pretty much their limit for "in shape", ie, still extremely thin and low bodyfat without the kind of mass you see in western bodybuilders.
>>737535783Don't forget gachashit protagonists kek as well It is done so bugmen can relate and stay mediocre drones While western protagonists are built to inspire to become better
>>737536038Ameriorcs love them sissies too y'know...
>>737536997Gay as fuck Imagine calling muscles fetish material when it means you are a better warrior
>>737535783>strongest chinese male armvs>weakest western female arm
>>737535939I want muscular western male designs with the fancy, tight fitting clothes from the east.
>>737537154More muscles, more oxygen is required. Actual soldiers and warriors of ancient, medieval and industrial era is skinny and sinew-y.
>>737536038Japan thinks that really muscular men are either gay or meathead westerners.
>>737536817>breaks his neck>continues to wrestle like nothing happenedNever cared much for Kurt Angle but this dude is still legit.
the chinese think big muscles make you gay.a deeply unserious people thats why they have no good media or videogames outside of kung-fu

>>737537320Also some of Kurt Angle's best matches were with Chris Benoit and when WWE was like "he murdered his entire family nobody can talk about him anymore" Kurt was like "THIS IS BULLSHIT LIKE 30% OF MY TOP MATCHES WHERE WITH BENOIT I CAN'T JUST PRETEND ALL OF THAT PART OF MY CAREER DIDN'T HAPPEN."So I think nowadays he's like "Benoit was fucking evil as hell but damn he's a good wrestler it's true it's true it's damn true."
>>737535783>why are all the male characters like this?Because Khazan flopped.
>>737536038Korean women despise their men with a passion though and given Japan’s birthrates, I’m not sure it’s much better there either.
>>737535939Asians can't grow muscles naturally, they are too feminized with søy and rice.No wonder they enjoy yurishit, they consider themselves females, not males.
>>737537551Was Benoit a peice of shit? I just remember he had the best tap outs in a while vs nwo.
>>737537796Seems like anyone who ever met Chris Benoit said he was a great guy and amazing at his job but like... he killed his wife and son so people saying "oh he was so friendly" means nothing in the face of that.It's like, say you are the billionaire CEO of a random company like Heinz ketchup and you were super successful and had a beautiful wife and kids but then right at the end died of a horse fucking you in the ass. None of your life achievements would matter because everyone would just think of you as "that guy who died from horse dick".
Ripped and lean physique is much more impressive than steroid hulks anyway
>>737537149la bestia americana
>>737535783>>737535939>>737536038>meanwhile korean protagonist
>>737535783>Chinese game protagonist (European) looks like thisWould you play it now?
>>737538067I heard he went loopy because of all the head trauma from his time in WWF. Since he was like Mankind in being a pioneer of hardcore matchups his body suffered tremendously.
>>737538073>Ripped and lean physique is much more impressive than steroid hulks anyway>Proceeds to post martial artist that died from abusing steroidsWhat did he mean by this
>>737538345But this is the thing, Mankind despite his head injuries way worse than Benoit was still super kind to his children even if he couldn't comprehend what was happening. It's in his nature I don't think he could ever become a Chris Benoit.
>>737538249Korean Protagonist and the Korean Waifus are peak. Too bad Chinese men are too emasculated to handle being anything but stick men even in fiction unless its Xianxia level of cultivation novels.
>>737537657Qrd on the gender wars in South Korea?
>>737537657South Korea is the "nicest worst place on Earth". I'd rather unironically live in Russia or Mexico than South Korea.
>>737538067It's not Chris Benoit's fault that Daniel didn't tap out.
>>737538345The thing is, even though Mick Foley was known as hardcore legend, he didn't take shots to the head that often. Yes, everyone remembers that one match with Rock, but that's the exception. For most part Mick took damage everywhere else, it's a wonder he can still walk these days.Meanwhile Benoit's finisher was a headbutt. He'd take damage to his head in almost every single match that he won (unless it was by submission).Repeated stuff like that seriously takes a toll on your body. As another example, Hulk Hogan had the leg drop as his finisher. That is relatively simple move, but through the years even that caused countless back problems for him, as well as shaving inches off his height.
>>737538761Depends really its not that bad. Russia would send you to die early as waste of life. Mexico? Sure perhaps can be argued if you live in the middle-class type of wealth bracket where you got a home and a stable job you can do online or something or higher than otherwise Mexico is terrible. There's a reason Cartels have had so much power.
>>737535783Why there are so many whores on onlyfans than on street?
>>737537657Korean women despise their men for the same reason Japanese and now Chinese women do. They're realizing their men didn't evolve the same way as others and they've been settling for Chang Nyugen Wei Long Dong who maxxes out at 3.5cm and 150cm height. These would be reconcilable if asian men weren't also mostly entitled shitbirds. Imagine being into the alpha jock type in china and you're surrounded by anime hentai addicted geeks and the best prospects are the ones trying to rap and be as least asian as possible.

so is america the only land where steroid use among male actors is normalized or which other countries do it too? i imagine that in japan or china it isnt which is why japan makes fun of gym rat culture as gay with stuff like chou aniki
>>737535783>left cuts a mountain in two with a single slash of his clan's ancient sword>right gets overpowered by a spindly woman (male)
>>737535783China can do them it's just rare
>>737535783Martial culture. As with many things on this divide.In western culture it's technology and prowess that matters, because our ancestors was constantly at war and killing each other. It was survival of the fittest between states and it influenced our culture.In Asian culture it's heritage and spirit because their peace relied on the peasant class believing that they'd lose because they don't descend from the right people, they don't look the part and they don't have the spirit for "instant kill moves".In the west being athletic is what matters, in Asia it's magic bullshit. It's why in military demonstrations western countries and countries influenced by the west showcase military hardware and discipline and it gets the message across. In Asia they have to add on acrobatics and other bullshit such as elbowing a cement bricks, climbing on each others backs and so on.
>>737536997Bugmen are right for once. Getting roided up the wazoo just to attract other fitizens is a mental illness. And they aren't even functionally strong. Take a look at any strongman - you need body fat not to get fucked by picking up half a ton boulders which is still useless, but whatever, at least they can do something
>>737535783left>attracts womenright>attracts menwelp
>>737535939Doesn't Japan have sumos though? A sumo without fat is a couple hundred pounds of muscle.
>>737542808Another example of this is MMA vs "traditional" "martial" arts.In China MMA is starting to become popular amongst the younger generations because they can see it actually works. The so called traditional bullshit doesn't have any merit to them and is all bullshit, the Chinese government for a while tried to promote it and block MMA but MMA won through sheer interest.There's only so much you can bullshit people, especially with the internet and on certain topics.There was a Chinese man that was did amateur MMA, he fought and won "masters" of so many different schools publicly. His entire point was he didn't even spend long doing MMA and was able to knock out with ease, people that claim to be know moves too dangerous to teach.
Being slim, pretty and tall is the beauty standard in East Asia
>>737538345Head trauma certainly doesn't help with anything, but it's not like it made him retarded. He still had the wherewithal to tie up his wife, strangle her, dose his son with xanax, strangle him, call and text multiple people and hold coherent conversations and then hang himself. CTE does a lot of weird shit to the brain, but it is not solely responsible for his actions. If he had lashed out in rage and struck somebody, we could lay all the blame on CTE, but he had to think about what he was doing every step of the way and still do it. Maybe he wouldn't have done it if he hadn't been beaten in the head so much, but not everyone who suffers from CTE does stuff like that. That had to be in him somewhere to begin with.
>>737542870Are you telling me women want weaklings these days? I doubt it
>>737543002>There was a Chinese man that was did amateur MMA, he fought and won "masters" of so many different schools publicly.I assume the man you're talking about is Xu Xiaodong and I'd encourage anybody to go look him up. He went around publicly beating a bunch of traditional martial artists - usually in under 20 seconds - and posted about it on the internet. The CCP decided this was bad and tanked his social credit score to a D so that he wasn't allowed to buy any plane tickets, own real estate (basically the only way Chinese people can save money), cannot stay in nicer hotels, visit restaurants and his kids cannot attend private school. This was after a court fined him $60,000 USD and demanded he publicly apologize via social media to one of the guys he beat for 7 consecutive days. He refused to apologize to a fraud so they took away his rights. His only crime was fairly defeating the man and calling him a fraud afterwards.
Isn't china's whole deal spiritual strength? Muscles dont mean much when your chi or whatever is strong enough to level a mountain. Stuff like that.
>>737543194Male KpopshitEceleb fuccboi fucking multiple ethot vtubersThat faggot who broke his legs to gain height and hit his face with a hammer is getting bitches left and right. He isn't even that ripped.It doesn't even make sense, maybe it's the drugs that women are taking.
>>737543713Yes see >>737542808It's culture is based around control and part of that is by controlling the masses to be retarded about actual war.The Boxer Revolution was a bunch of retards not knowing war being essentially led to slaughter while their government literally watched. The Chinese government didn't want to deal with the fanatics so letting them run at fortified gun positions and get mowed down was an easy way to not have to deal with them turning into bandits all across the country. They literally thought that their ancestors would come down from the heavens and fight alongside them as spirits to kill the Europeans.
>>737535783>>737535939>>737536038>>737536997>>737538249>>737538297Westerners love fugly, burly, middle aged, out of shape men.Asians love girly boys with muscles.

>>737535939
>>737543971Nobody wants to have sex with the characters in Baki. If anything, they'd appeal more to western barafags, they just need more chest and ass hair. Japanese gay men draw fujobait and traps, western gay men draw Tom of Finland (and traps).

>>737536997
>>737535783Bodybuilding is a spectacle and consumerist show, nothing about strength. Go to a construction site and the weakest guy there will manhandle your bodybuilders, or go to a arm-wrestling competition and you will see the same thing, there's plenty of clips on the internet already. Gymnasts, MMA fighters, climbers, construction workers, actual soldiers who train for war, all are lean and actually strong. Body building has nothing to do with strength, although it certainly is a byproduct of their training, and more to do with the simulation of strength solely for visual appeal.Chinese media just never had an Arnold moment and generally, if you're that big you're 100% on some sort of steroids.
>>737548324>visual appealExcept actual bodybuilders are downright the second most disgusting bodytype in existence. They're only behind obese people.
>>737548868You vill lose.
>>737548868Depends on who and what era. I think it'd be hard to call Arnold in peak physique disgusting, and a lot of other bodybuilders from that era looked similarly good. Only later on with people like Rich Piana and Markus Ruhl did the proportions become about size over all else. People started focusing on pure scale and quantity of muscle mass instead of sculpting a body that actually looked healthy and strong. At some point the goal shifted from "peak human potential" to "be really big".
>>737535783How many years of lifting does it take to build an arm like that?
>>737549478Who cares? It is unattainable naturally unless you bloat maxx for 5-10 years.
>>737549451Even Arnold was grotesque

Muscles are gay.
>>737536997Not true.
>>737549645>>737550075All fitness competitors look awful sure to the bronze tanning combined with no water in body while doing moves that emphasize a certain muscle.
>>737535783Asians are much smaller and weaker than western and african races in genreral and nowadays all their countries seem to have a apoclyptic T shortage so the think the Urkel bod is what a true hero looks like
>>737537154>better warriorBodybuilders would gas in 30 seconds in a real fight.
>>737540254
>>737550941Yeah right, bro.
>>737550941>>737551229NTA, but denying that Asians are, in general, weaker than Westerners and Africans is a cope. Not that it matters a whole lot these days, smarts are more important if want to get ahead in life, but it is what it is.
>>737550941asians on average have higher T than white men, marginally.
>>737551383They have the highest T levels, if I remember correctly. More to building muscle and strength that test though.
>>737551335You mean being a Fraud gets ahead in life.
>>737551567*than
>>737537297We were too rough on them in WW2 and buck-broke their warrior spirit. Now they dont want to be like manly westerners. Please understand
>>737536997this guy goes to Japan regularly and absolutely slays with the local women there each timecope
>>737551592IQ matters alot. Just the way it is.
>>737551592You did say "being a frog gets ahead in life," right?
>>737536997They actuakly love their big western dudes. Bob Sapp definitely cleaned house while he was down there along with every other wrestler that does some time there
>>737535783Nearly everyone in Asia only plays on their phone.PC has a market but it’s niche just like in the West.
>>737536817dude Kurt looked like this when he wrestled Brock, his arms atrophied later
>>737538761Everything ive seen about their culture just seems absolutely miserable. I get why the kids who come to the US dont want to go back.
>>737551773How would you know?
>>737538249Looks cool but this dude is not the norm over there at all. Koreans love their convierbelt generic asian man heros and featureless doll waifus
>>737535783Mobile phones are objectively a poor platform for videogaming and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>737549451Even Arnie would have been considered grotesquely big once upon a time. Here's what body builders looked like when Sean Connery was one.
>>737551567groids have the highest, followed by spics, then asians, then whites, then south-east asians.stating this is practically racebaiting thougheverbeit, even if it's factual. i don't know why some races can't be smarter than others while also having less testosterone.
>>737539468I think it's more of a commentary on how people play wrpgs to be murder hobos killing everything and play jrpgs to jerk off to waifus
>>737551665He still looks like he lifts and definitely has better arms that OP's left pic
Sex appeal
>>737543517>Xu XiaodongFunny because he said that he doesnt have a problem with traditional martial arts. Just frauds who clearly dont know what the fuck they were doing.
>>737552603Testosterone aids is muscle building but it doesn't actually determine the limit of your muscles. That's something else. In other words, high t = easier to build muscle but high t != can build large muscles. The human body is annoying that way.
>>737552907you're not completely wrong, it's just both. there's obviously what you're genetically capable of, but there's also the tissue that responds to DHT during puberty (which is static in adulthood) that is obviously going to raise the ceiling if you're someone who naturally has high T. your body produces more muscle fibers if you have high T in puberty, and your frame tends to be broader (not taller) depending on T levels as well. it's why there's so many barrel chested hispanic men for example despite them being pretty short on average. again, what you're saying is not completely wrong or anything. in a vacuum that's correct, it's just a lot messier than a cut and dry rule like that. this doesn't mean people with low T can't build impressive physiques, it's just harder and often times their ceiling is capped by the fact they had less T during puberty. this doesn't mean that genetics still don't play a role in your muscular potential outside of puberty, that's still correct, you're just unintentionally underselling the importance of T during adolescence.
>>737552721He wasnt on the anti beef side
>>737535783western game protag arm should be a bunch of loose skin because they're all in their 50s for some reason
>>737553484You wouldnt get it zoom zoom
>>737553283>your body produces more muscle fibers if you have high T in pubertyThe number of muscle fibers in your body is primarily determined before you are even born with small amounts of additional fiber created within a year of birth. It's primarily genetic and you can do nothing about it. The number of muscle fibers is pretty much set in stone by your DNA and all you can do is make them bigger. There's no correlation between high t and number of muscle fibers. Also, there's no real correlation between testosterone and actual muscular strength.
>>737535939>Buff guys were never really normalized in Asian popular culture like they were in West.Yeah, they were "popularized" in the West 3000 years ago, every single Western cultural hero is a muscleGOD
>>737551165correlation is not causation
>>737551741Worked for Pepe and Kermit
>>737553956The correlation between promiscuity and mental illness is insanely high. So high it's pretty much a given that whore = crazy bitch every time. They're pretty sure it is the crazy bitch that causes the whoreness.
>>737553829WRONG
>>737554215Yes, exactly my point. Being crazy, crazy horny, or depressed compel some women to have more sex than others. Not that more sex drives women insane.
>>737535783How many western characters are mega jacked? I can't think of many but i haven't been paying much attention. Even the new God of War has a dad bod
You might fall into the /fit/ pipeline where you begin to have increasingly bigger standards for physiques, but the truth is that the brad pitt type ottermode is ideal
