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?

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