Wishes to be Asian
Post picture of anime girl, an art style that is highly stylized but somewhat generic in terms of ethnic identity markers

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 36 points 4 days ago (3 children)

You're right. Anime characters don't really look too much Like any specific ethnicity most of the time. I wonder if that's part of the appeal

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It 100% is. Like one of the best aspects of non descript stylization is self insertation!

A blank canvas that's still cute

There are some animes which have very clear and distinct racial markers. Perfect blue or Akira for example.

Edit: But now that I think about it, I agree with you, most of them are actually very nondescript.

The more abstract moéblob stuff is the most ethnically ambiguous. Skin tone is the most explicit you get

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it’s just a byproduct of animation. The simpsons don’t necessarily look like any specific ethnicity either

Yellow… 🤤🤤🤤
