A woman in a video game who has small breasts? I find this offensive!

I don't know who she is or what fandom this is, but I'd think that the current trend that asian women seem to be following of you know... gluing their eyelids/getting surgery (and wearing contacts) to look less asian/more western would be more offensive because they are basically saying they dislike how they look?

For the record, I don't think either is offensive, people will do what they want and that doesn't bother me at all. This comment was just food for thought.

...

My eyes are pretty much that slanted, though. And I have a small chest. Are you trying to compare that to the way people used to portray African-Americans with giant protruding red lips, or something? 'Cause it's not the same thing.

I don't even know what game this is from.

That's close to like...a D cup in Japan. I'm not even kidding. I get the feeling you'd bitch regardless of what race she was/what breast size she is/etc.

Did a boy jilt you over Mirror's Edge?

[identity profile] elysiangem.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, anon. Most Asian video game characters, as well as video game character of other races, have huge breasts. Her eye's aren't as "slanty" as you say they are. She's designed with heavy eyeliner that exaggerate her features. Honestly, as an Asian woman, I don't find her offensive at all. I feel like you're trying to defy stereotypes by bashing characteristics seen in other Asian woman, or in this case, a fictional character. I have seen real women with her features. Can't we just accept that we all come in different shapes and forms?

If this is a troll secret: 10/10
If not...wow. The way women are treated in games just makes the fact that she's wearing an actual outfit pretty special, so you won't hear a peep from me.

(Anonymous) 2011-01-22 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)

what do asians look like then? b/c the majority does look like that.

(Anonymous) 2011-01-22 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
So, basically, damned if they make an animooish chick with huge tits and big eyes, and damned if they make a chick with normal-sized tits and realistic Asian eyes. Got it.

(Anonymous) 2011-01-22 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
OP is a TREMENDOUS tool.

(Anonymous) 2011-01-22 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
And some of them DO look like that. Suck it up.

Also, from the picture, she looks to be at least a B cup.

(Anonymous) 2011-01-22 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
If her surname is anything to go by she's probably only partially Asian. And anyways, her body type wasn't really to say "hey, we can make realistic Asians!", it was more "if your job is running like crazy you're probably going to be really lean and wear actually clothes".

[identity profile] yui-hime.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Her eyes aren't that slanted. She's wearing eye makeup that exaggerates them.

Also, breasts are made of fatty tissue, so a character with a highly active lifestyle wouldn't have enough body fat for large breasts. You know, like an illegal marathon parkour mail delivery girl?

People who use their upper-body muscles constantly tend to have a smaller chest. I know, shocking. And people with high, prominent cheekbones tend to have slanted eyes more often than not - that coupled with the fact that she's of Asian heritage? DUN DUN DUNNNN

You, troll, suck.

"B-but all Asians look the same!"

(Anonymous) 2011-01-22 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck you, I look like that and for the record, a lot of Asians on tv that don't have "slanty eyes" as you so eloquently put it, it's because they go the surgery/glue/tape route.

[identity profile] micromyni.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
She looks stereotypically Asian. Okay. If THAT is all that it takes to make you scream racefail, I'm surprised you haven't spontaneously exploded. At least she didn't use chopsticks to eat and have a horrible fake accent.

I... always thought that character looked a helluva lot like or even was based off of Lucy Liu. who is a real person. o_o and yeah some of us do have eyes that slanty lol o_O

[identity profile] oflittlebrain.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I thought she was an offensive stereotype of an Asian woman.

You thought wrong.

[identity profile] i-am-a-rose-4.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I think a lot of this stems from what is perceived as beautiful in different cultures. I actually remember reading about this earlier...

http://kotaku.com/5099050/faith-is-not-a-12-year+old-with-a-boob-job


For what it's worth, I agree with the developers...I like her design, and I happen to think she's beautiful and fierce. But YMMV.

And if they didn't give her more prominent eyes and a huge chest, then people would have complained about them basically trying to make her too appealing to gamers, and to for the lack of a better term, "whitewash" her and make her "less" blatantly Asian to appeal to a Western audience or something.

I'm sorry you don't feel she's an accurate representation of Asian women, that's fine, but every other video game character isn't necessarily a perfect representation of the race or culture she's from either.

The fact she's actually clearly ethnic and has small breasts is kind of a big deal for a video game character; usually they're not either.

You're also being offensive to Asian women who do have eyes like that and small chests. Guess what? Not every one looks like you, and they don't all look the same, so get over yourself Anon.

...She supposed to be Asian? Not trying to be trolly, I just know nothing about the game, and assumed it was just Hot Futuristic Chick #17.
