I don't feel like that's an at all accurate description of wealthy characters, at least in Western media. There are stereotypes, I just don't think it's exclusively - or even predominantly - the ones you're talking about here. Maybe more of an anime thing?

I didn't say that no characters who fit those stereotypes exist in western media

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
eh the fact that i can think of one so prominent so quickly means it isn't only an anime thing like you implied

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
it's definitely prevalent in western comics and tons and tons of those side characters in movies. maybe you are focusing too much on tv.

Yeah, prissy, blond, effeminate Western comics characters, like Batman

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
huh? batman was mentioned in the secret as the non prissy blond effeminate type that there should be more of.

rich male character = weak effeminate unlike stronk blue collar man has been a running joke in western media for a long time. i'm surprised people haven't noticed this.

I - once again - agree that it is a stereotype and a note that runs through culture. I - once again - argue that OP is talking about it being way more predominant than it, in fact, is.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
if you say so. pointing out batman exists when batman was mentioned in the secret was kind of weird and confusing.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a weird and confusing person.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-22 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not a good thing. Change it.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't meant to imply it was only a thing in anime. I was saying maybe it was more predominant in anime than in Western media, I'm not familiar enough with anime. My point is that I just don't think those are the predominant stereotypes of rich people in Western media.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
One point I'd like to make, I think there's a difference in US media and Western media. I've seen a lot of British and otherwise European media give nobility the ineffectual effeminate fop baby treatment. More so than the US.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-22 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Facepalm. U.S. media is part of Western media.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Anime seems to portray rich people more diversely than Western things, I think. There's a lot more rich characters who are just people who happen to be rich and it's mainly incidental (sometimes it's a plot device to give them easy access to buying something hard to get that's crucial to the story, but sometimes it's not even as important as that).
