to be honest, I haven't heard "cultural appropriation" be used seriously for almost 5 years. I feel like they know what they do is appropriate cultures (twisting them to fit tHe_meSsaGe), so they silently taken out of their vocabulary.
Yeah, it seems like Tumblr imploding took this particular brand of lunacy with it for some reason. When all the retards migrated to twitter it they didn't take it with them.
Well, look at all the tards who think that a live-action Goku needs to be played by a Japanese dude, when Goku isn't even a member of the human species and Japan doesn't even exist on Earth 7 (even if the cultural trappings or phenotype does, these things do so completely independently of each other.)
That being said, if Brock from Pokemon were made today, there'd be much sperging over the lines for eyes, I'm sure.
Its what i think too. Beauty is OBJECTIVE. You mention kittens. All girls have a fox or cat as a spirit animal. Not a hippo or pig. Fox and cats are seen as pretty, feminine and cute. Only people who find hippos and pigs beautiful are mental and fringe.
I dunno, kids can think hippos are pretty rad until adults start reshaping their opinions.
I remember having to chill for the better part of an hour by the hippo's enclosure at the Detroit Zoo when my kids were little, because they just couldn't get enough of her.
And all the things humans brag up about themselves re: cleverness, resilience, and ability to eat anything, well, those qualities are very much shared by swine ...
This is an interesting point. One of the reasons I like anime and anime style media is because the characters are almost all fair skinned. To me, I imagine them all as European, and it's refreshing in this day and age to see an all white cast. To the original artists and audience in Japan, however, I'm sure they see it as an all Japanese cast.
I guess the anime art style is one of those cultural things that ties Europeans and East Asians together in a unique way because we share fair skin. I imagine it's difficult for a brown skinned person to draw the same kind of interpretation. Do they see anime characters as Asian or European?
It's the "stretching a 17 page manga chapter into a 25 minute anime episode" technique. I prefer the Naruto approach where they caught up to the manga then made up bullshit filler storylines for a year until the manga was far enough ahead to continue following the real story again. At least you can skip filler episodes. You can't skip it when the episode has the filler embedded.
Once a character is captured in a race swap, it's never allowed to go back to normal without much reeeing and gnashing of teeth.
"You can't make Jimmy Olsen white ever again! We claimed him! White soup remedy!"
-Same people who bitch about "cultural appropriation".

As they say, once you go black....

Lmao Brock is supposed to be analogous to an Okinawan or something if I remember right.

They have the nerve to complain?
They’re remaking one piece? The 1500 episode show which is still on-going (or has it finally ended?) Why? Condensing it like dbz Kai?
afaict, it's a retelling with less filler maybe
Might try a trimmed version. Could never get into it.
DBZ's Anime burned me to a "certain style" of putting out 5 episodes that should have been 1 and it wouldn't sacrifice anything.
2/3 of non-content ( intro, outro, "in the previous episode", "in the next episode". )
1/3 remaining being plagued with filler talking and "charging attacks".
I can't get into anything giving a faint hint of pulling this shit.

There's a fan project called One Pace which edits it to remove the padding and filler, incidentally.
it's sort of "One Piece Brotherhood", but original is far from ending considering the god-awful pace of most recent arc, Egghead island
damned if you do, damned if you don't. if they kept the original, it's blackface. if they go with the new design, it's whitewashed.
