MOST BADASS THING ON THE PLANET

That looks like it would chafe.

It looks more ethnically asian to me and I'm asian, so they aren't the "other" to me. If you draw a cat that really looks like a dog, it will really look like a dog no matter how much social justice babble you want to put on it.

This isn't to say I'm accepting of slitty-eyes bowl-cut stereotypes, but be realistic. Physical differences exist.

[identity profile] cxrdevil.livejournal.com 2010-10-11 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sorry, I'm not trying to discard the main point of the secret being about her race, or the fact that there are norms of physical appearance in regards to it, but at the same time I wanted more to comment because I like Revy a whole lot. I thought that other was more about society in general and the fact that we're told that white = default with qualifiers required to be anything else. I'm white, so I don't have the perspective of being in the "othered" group here - so if that's not the case I'm sorry for overstepping. Revy is a fantastic lady however she looks but I just can't deny that ponytail ;D

That article is pretty full of inaccuracies anyway. Yes, of course Japanese people will have no problem accepting that a character is Japanese even with round eyes and blond hair - if their given name is Japanese, which they usually are. Would they accept that Naruto is Japanese if his name was Michael Johnson? Yeah... no.

But if that blond, blue-eyed character isn't given an asian name, of course they're going to assume they're white.

I mean, I get what you're saying - and most anime characters are all kinda sameface anyway - just, that article... ugh.

(Anonymous) 2010-10-11 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
SA forgot to mention

- yes, if I see a character in a manga, I will assume they're Japanese unless given other info, the same as if I see a character in a Western comic, I will assume they're American or European unless given other info. But that's just a standard of the medium. That doesn't make them "look" any less white to me, even knowing that they are supposed to be asian.

Because the Japanese standard of beauty (round eyes, small noses, pale skin, so on and so forth) is somewhat congruent to "white racial markers" in drawing. IRL, the physical difference is very marked, make no mistake - a Japanese person considered beautiful would not look anything at all like a white person - but we're talking about stylized art, here, and given "round eyes and pale skin" - well, it applies to both categories.

Aahhh, trying to explain this is hard.

fellow asian saying yes and thank you.

Question! From what chapter the shot in your icon come from?

[identity profile] cxrdevil.livejournal.com 2010-10-11 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's from the opening of the new OVA, Roberta's Blood Trail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqmio2rjOII

Your icon's cool ;D

[identity profile] canthari.livejournal.com 2010-10-11 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Revy makes everything looks cool...

And oh dear, I have been waiting to purchase the DVD but I can't find it anywhere, I should watch the damn thing already. >.

[identity profile] cxrdevil.livejournal.com 2010-10-11 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah she really does

I won't watch it online so I don't know the story. I also like to buy the DVDs, but I'm okay with watching the intro and theme song.

[identity profile] canthari.livejournal.com 2010-10-12 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. I have big problems when purchasing the material because it hardly appears in our markets, and most of the time it isn't even dubed, but if i have the opportunity i really, really want to own Roberta's Blood Trial.
