Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

If you're talking about female leads of cdramas, then those are quite different scenarios and contexts. Unless my memory fails me and Luke Skywalker spends most of the movie playing zoom zoom and speaking in a curiously high pitched baby voice.

He is *extremely* whiny throughout *two* movies, to be precise.

NAYRT
Luke playing with toys is about him as a character. Same with being whiny.

The callout on cdramas having infantalized female leads/characters with baby'ed voices, a childlike wonder and charm...plays into Asian stereotypes/expectations of the docile, small, delicate doll of a woman child in order to be the perfect wife.
The specifics and pressures are different from region/nation to region/nation, but they are still very much a thing in China.

The stereotyping feeds into other cultures fetishizing Asian women (specifically Western culture) and girls. "It's just their culture." (Words that make my skin crawl)

Exactly!
There are childish characters. There is misogyny towards female characters who happen to be childish.
And also there is history of infantalizing female characters because of wider problems that should be criticized.
