@ThaBeefGames@JarvaroGort2 You definitely never lived through that era which I did. There were tons of teenage fantasy back in the day also and not every anime protagonists were like Kenshiro. Shonen has rarely changed over the time. It's always about boys' fantasy.
@Baxtli8@sighyam That's easier said than done. We don't know what he got informed during the briefing. If they allowed him to draw however he wanted, he should have already done that.
And poster drawing has become an obsolete art form. There are not many people working in that field anymore.
@subdomaim@lobthemagical@DelusionPosting Us Asians were influenced by Hollywood and learned English and, yet, most of us knew nothing about blackface until it was brought up on the internet.
Love how delusional Americans believe that they knew better than the native LMAO
@subdomaim@lobthemagical@DelusionPosting The point is they don't know your stupid blackface culture. That's the point I've been trying to make while YOU kept dodging it. You just proved me right again and again by not showing proof.
You don't know about their culture, end of argument.
@subdomaim@lobthemagical@DelusionPosting Yeah. Keep twisting my words. That just shows how you have nothing to back up your claim.
No. They are not dumb. But, surely. You are lmao
@subdomaim@lobthemagical@DelusionPosting Love how to keep changing the goal post, BTW. You just help prove me right by moving the subject instead of proving your point; because you know you have nothing to back it up.
@subdomaim@lobthemagical@DelusionPosting Let me say again one last time. The world doesn't revolve around America! None of us in Asia knew about blackface until the 21st century. China and India have more influence than the US; no matter how much you need you are special, the fact is the fact.
@subdomaim@lobthemagical@DelusionPosting Also, that in itself proved nothing. The Japanese are barely influenced by Americans outside their obsession with baseball.
@subdomaim@lobthemagical@DelusionPosting No, it's not. Learn the history. The big eyes style was influenced by Tetsuka Osamu; aka. the father of manga. He was influenced by Disney's style of drawing and it did evolve into a moe culture because big eyes make the character cuter. Also easier to show the facial expression.
@huh_torinn @JaesonStrategos @QuithJa And, in Asia, Indian and Chinese cultures had more influence than Americans (Surprised, huh?). So, it's more believable that he based it on a Hindu god than some random black dude that he might never have met before. The world doesn't revolve around America.
@huh_torinn @JaesonStrategos @QuithJa By your logic, Toriyama never admitted that he based the character off a black man also. So, what are you trying to prove again?
@W7Ji1G1GGJ30913 @xxp60 @Phantom_Mode_ @Dexerto No. It's you who don't understand. He didn't even have a part in this manga. How can he be a "part of" when he had zero involvement?
@subdomaim@lobthemagical@DelusionPosting It's not. The world doesn't revolve around America and most of us Asians didn't know what blackface was even a thing before the internet became mainstream. There's zero chance Toriyama who created this character during the mid 90th knew what blackface was.
@KJovian@GiveMeBanHammer I'm Asian and there's no way I can see the girl (in-game character) as a child; that's a grown adult to me no matter how I see.
If you saw her like one, it's more like a projection to me than anything and genuinely need help.
@_rawrell Even if you ignore the character design, the art direction of the new one is BAD. Why does it need to be that dark and gritty? Are they making it a horror game now?
@JanTheMangaMan And to make it more embarrassing, Kyotarou is a middle school kid and Taiki is a high schooler while Trash-suya is a grown ass man who acts like a kid. That series is too overrated.
If anything, RAG is already lucky to make it to season 3.
