why are anime characters drawn white??

[The Nigerian]

That's your argument?

It's just cartoons, breh.

 

[Kitsune]

I would. Plus, the average Japanese isn't 5'4 anymore. They're average or above averae height now.

It was obviously an exggeration and I dont watch the shyt like I use to but if the character representations were a realer reflection of the culture, like the pics below, than I probably would drop the shyt all together tbh

its the little things that count

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

Yeah but not every white person looks like a Hollywood star.

I think it might he that all Asians will look the same as a n anime cartoon

Self hate more though.

so asian women are bow legged and have 0 shape now? also, those two "white looking" characters could easily be asian. they are not the ones being disputed.

I saw an article explaining this, I'm going to try and find it.

Edit
Found it: http://thesocietypages.org/socimage...why-do-the-japanese-draw-themselves-as-white/

ok, this has answered my question.

Basically, like the article I posted, it's the Default Human theory. Anything that isn't an exaggeratedly "foreign looking" character is automatically assumed white.

This picture explains that theory well. Simply because the characters don't look "overtly" Asian, they are seen as white. Even though in both characters you can clearly see the shape of their eyes are closer to Asians than European.

White suoremcy strikes again

Well, thats kinda the point because even the "non-white" characters, in your eyes at least, still lack resembelance to real asian features so the fact that you think those above characters can pass as asian is kinda laughable. So if you wanna get technical then most of those features are caucasian in apperance mainly the hair color, the eyes shape, the eye color, the nose. That bytch looks asain in the same light that a tranny looks female, it isnt authentic

and as far as the 0 figure goes, relatively speaking, then yeah, kinda

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

So all Asian people are ugly now?

Lol.

Modern day black Anime characters aren't drawn with "exaggeratedly foreign looking" characteristics but you don't automatically assume they are white. Look at the Boondocks for example.

They're all drawn with brown skin and afros so it's pretty hard to assume anything else when drawing black characters.

 

[Fatboi1]

Because white people.

Exactly. They are drawn with features recognizable to their real world counterparts.

Just like most anime characters, the article I posted explains this. Asian artist draw Europeans differently than they draw actual Asian characters.

no, those pictures were crude misrepresentations of the "average asian" .i recognize my view of them looking white is a flawed perception based on:
a) me being white
b) growing up in america
these contributed to white being the default human form for me which was my issue all along. (my bad) but don't try and say this is the theory you were promoting all along. you were saying that the asian form isn't suitable for anime and would make it less entertaining.
