@yunniekristy ugh… at first I thought the hate for her was too much but after seeing this, it’s not enough. I can only imagine how she treats other girls in real life 🐑
@foxsmiles_ @roveriot oh my gosh (´-ω-`) the way people project countries’ issues onto individuals is so weird,, I’ve never seen him say or do anything problematic. People really need jobs if they have so much energy to hate on someone they don’t even know
@jamesnmoons There was a video of him bowing like 10x times to people,,, I hope he hasn’t seen any of the negativity and at least had the chance to go home (◞‸◟;)
@BreadyOfVictory@ori0n_nebula@luminesmp4 Yes, people say he’s not. In CN and JPN, he was always a male—however, I think what happened is people conflate words like “beautiful” or “fair” as appearance descriptors with a man being feminine, which is not the case in Asian literature, where attractiveness = slender, pretty.
@ori0n_nebula@luminesmp4 You’re right, it’s not a feminine terminology in Asia. People exposed to western media are really conditioned that to be men, someone should be described with “alpha male” characteristics, while the most attractive men in Asian medias are generally more beautiful than “alpha” 🐈⬛
@luminesmp4 This is a (potential) reason there’s a lack of extremely muscular playable characters in genshin,, a lot of people wouldn’t like it because it doesn’t fit the xianxia beauty standard 🐑
@luminesmp4 As a person who knows CN and JPN, “beautiful” (or corresponding words like 俊美 which means handsome and beautiful mixed into one) are often used to describe attractive men in Asia. It isn’t un-masculine to be graceful and elegant, I feel like that is a western value tbh.
@realwrd Honestly it’s just that extremists from both sides are quite odd. One side thinks women aren’t even people and the other thinks men can seamlessly become women. And both sides like to gaslight and harass anyone who disagrees. Like… (´-ω-`)
@roxxmaru The entirety of this narrative is based on the assumption that people must be familiar with American marketing schemes, when often everyone else is seeing 1 movie marketed at a time. The artist also painted Aladdin, so I highly doubt she “hates dark skin” like people are saying.
@roxxmaru But it’s not marketed like this in Japan, where the artist is from, and other countries. Tangled is way more popular. The prince from Frozen, Tarzan, and the man from Pocahontas are all missing. When foreigners haven’t seen Nezha 1 & 2, we don’t accuse racism, so why must they?
