@Chiyanda1@veryloudohn You're also making the error of conflating sex with genitalia (which in itself makes no sense as the uterus and ovaries have not even developed at this stage).
@Chiyanda1@veryloudohn Embryological development is determined by the presence of the functional SRY gene, a factor decided at conception. Development is not by default female. You will by default develop into whatever your genome determines. The development of males is also not accidental.
@Chiyanda1@veryloudohn No, this is wrong. We begin as undifferentiated with the genitals developing from the genital tubercle. In fact, males develop quicker than females in utero. If you have cookie dough and can make cookies or cookie dough ice cream, you wouldn't say the ice cream starts as cookies.
@pyongkici A significant number of Westerners do think Naruto is White. Same with Ichigo from Bleach and Goku from Dragon Ball. Many people from every race project themselves onto anime characters in the West; much of our animated media is explicit about every character's ethnicity.
@HiKikisundal Chinese, Korean, Japanese, from left to right. Double lid eyes are more common in Japanese, that eyebrow density and complexion are common among some Chinese, and the pale skin with monolids is common in Koreans.
@TheCavalier1886@Lavader_ I am thoroughly convinced that Hearts of Iron was created to single-handedly lower young men's understanding of logistical viability.
@tivstippi Boondocks the TV series did well, but that was a network syndicated comedy that heavily toned down many of the political themes in McGruder's work. The comic was not nearly as popular with people who weren't Black or into the hip-hop scene. Please do not use this as a retort.
@tivstippi You don't usually see shitty mangaka artists because they don't make it. Few Western artists in general can draw with similar quality. Even if they do, few Black artists can tell a story without Blackness being so central that it limits their audience to the representation crowd.
@ShadowFangz1k@tivstippi His argument isn't even hard to understand. Japan is thousands of miles away. Most of the cultures it historically interacted with were European allies and other East Asians. You are begging for representation from a people who barely knew we existed 80 years ago.
@HighTigerArt Much of modern animation sucks because many artists' only understanding of the concept of maturity is a self-indulgent and grotesque corruption of innocence. Projection of the highest order; truly sad.
