Re: Seriously, this.

[chardmonster]

I know what you mean--you're right. I guess you had to see the translations. This wasn't just "oh, she's ugly," it's "HOW DARE THE PROTAGONIST OF THIS VIDEO GAME NOT BE SEXY TO ME, JAPANESE GUY." It wasn't the opinion that she's ugly, it's the way it was expressed and the baggage attached to that.

It's the difference between not liking Chell's (in Portal) outfit and wishing it was cuter, and insisting that she's covered up in sensible attire because the people making the game hate guys looking at her and are intentionally trying to make her as unsexy as possible, it's a conspiracy, how dare they.

I'd agree with you there. Raging and demanding that the protag be sexy and pleasant to me personally is just entitled shitbrat behavior no matter who it's from. That's a broader issue and not a matter specific to Japan and a bad example to use in response to original anon about Japan specifically though. And a lot of "Faith is weird looking" comments that I've heard are from Asian people going "why are her eyes so slanty? WTF" and I didn't know which you were referring to.

I'd also agree that Japan and Asia in general do not portray physically strong women well at all though. Aside from the uguuu moeblob characters who aren't trying to be strong, physical strength in women is mostly used as comedy (see: jdramas where the girl beats people up lolol what a tomboy) or to make the woman seem 'manly' and therefore not attractive (see: every offensive trans* joke) - and Japan is just as bad as the West about giving girls superpowers that let them wield huge hammers with the physique of a 9 year old and shoving them in bikini armor because muscles are for men.
