Ricecels debate whether anime is white worshipping

https://old.reddit.com/r/aznidentity/comments/s2p7oh/japanese_social_media_praises_normal_looking

Japanese article calling a mayo celebrity’s blond kid “beautiful” causes aznidentity to seethe. This turns into a debate over the white worshipping nature of anime.

It never was free from eurocentrism, rather just perpetuates it even further. Mukokuseki in anime was created to make japanese look less Asian.


Before the "ALL ANIME CHARACTERS BY DEFINITION JAPANESE NOT WHITE" crowd jumps in, I just want to mention that the Japanese culture has been doing this shit in the 1800s ever since they got their butt owned by a bunch of Europeans. https://artelino.com/articles/meiji_nationalism.asp (all the European looking people are Japanese, all the East Asian looking people are Chinese/Korean/Mongolian) :marseylaugh:


there’s a lot of full east asian people that “look like” anime characters. If you compare a good looking asian with a good looking white and placed them side by side with an anime character, the only characteristics that could distinguish ethnicity are eye and hair color (obviously a specific type of person and anime character, anime in general looks completely inhuman). To suggest that “anime is modeled after white people” is just completely disingenuous. It’s as if you’re trying to craft the narrative that asians can never look attractive. OP, what game are you playing here?


When did I even say anything about attractiveness? You're already assuming-because I actually think the drawing looks ugly. Or maybe our views on attractiveness have been shaped by hundreds of years of European contact and then subsequent colonization.

Let’s educate weebs about how their favorite media is a tool of white supremacy! #STOPASIANHATE :chadasian:

Didn’t an anime recently get a bunch of backlash for drawing realistic looking Asian characters, complete with epicanthic folds?

Pretty sure there was a post about it.

It’s funny that drawing Asian people accurately is considered racist.

It’s white worshiping I have phd in pedome, japanese gaymes and foidology :marseypipe: my opinion is very important

When Japanese make anime/games about Japanese they look like this:

Anime is fantasy it’s shows how Japanese people want to look and they want to look like their over lord senpai hitlercel and senpai burger
