Do Asians Have an Identity Issue With Animation?

I know in Avatar the fire nation is Asian, and casting this guy (for a YouTube short) seems good. But why is it that Asians almost always animate themselves with pale af skin and just looking kinda white? More people would actually acknowledge Zuko as asian if he looked it. In season 1 he has the skin color of a northern Englishman. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=yPm6jsqZ6VU

>>114913600East Asians can very easily have pale skin, especially if they’re from more northern areas/don’t get much sun; the stigma against dark skin is a class thing since you’d get more tan the more time you spent outside and the tannest people were the ones who worked outside, namely poor ass farmers. From there it turned into tan = poor and no one wants to be seen as poor.

>>114913600i prefer to think of the characters as white so i do.

>>114913600Dark skin is the color of the working class. It's not being white, it's being pale. Paleness as a sign of status and beauty has been around since well before any contact from the west. It's been deeply ingrained into their mindset that it's almost natural.

>>114913673/a/ will whine lol

>>114913744I know but even they don't look that pale

>>114913778because animated characters don't have blood vessels and don't have their skin reflect light in various ways. We're talking actual elite members of society sort of pale, obviously everyone's bound to get some sun in their daily routine.

>>114913600You need to go into caricature mode to really showcase the differences between races because drawing subtle features that differentiate races is difficult when you have the budget of a children’s cartoon. It’s why most black cartoon characters are just caucasians with black skin.

The avatar people were obviously asian. white people just feel uncomfortable identifying with non-white characters so they try to claim they are white. You see this exact same shit with Dragonball

>>114913600There are asains IRL who look more white than white people FYI.

>>114914736Oh yeah its white people that are the ones always crying about how they don't feel comfortable identifying with fictional characters who aren't the same race as themsilly me, i almost remembered it being the exact opposite in reality.

I'm that's a huge chuffing continent, so idk how i or you can make a judgment call for all of it yknow? can you even name ten south/southeast asian countries without googling? i mean your "kinda white" classification changes over time and has never had a stable definition and lighter skin asians were only designated as yellow because of "muh dirty orientals" despite the chinese buildin a lot of the transcontinental railroad most of the profits which were not claimed by then and then were promptly kicked out of the country

>>114914789VietnamLaosThailandSri LankaIndiaSingaporeIndonesiaThe PhilippinesPapa New Guinea1 short. Damn.

>>114914809Idk. I always liked exaggerating race features in cartoons. Made things unique.

my favorite thing is tumblr tour buses of avatards who shill on Holla Forums acting like they're some kind of victimized underdogs in an ongoing cartoon race war and ignore the fact that 99% of white people agree with them that the cast should be asian if they even care at all.

>>114914774>Star FireStar Fire is an alien. The others were human in origin even if this country treated them like dirt from the get go. I know you give 0 shits about them but it would make no difference if a asian, white, black, etc played an orange alien character.

>>114915034yes that is very possible for asians to have those featuresthe characters designed in cartoons are usually featureless because its easier to drawthem being otherwise featureless give them easier faces to project onto this is what a character designed to look white looks like

>>114915257Yes it is possible to draw characters more detailed than others when you want to specify what race they actually are rather than just the generic european looking cartoon sameface.

>people trying to create a broad statement for millions of artists

so long as it fits in the artstyle. Not where one person is drawn like a pixar caricature, and then you draw all the white like batman, only adding caricature distortions to non whites. I like pic related style as a good example or caricature. If a character look attractive, you just keep the porportions simpler like how they are in real life.

>>114915350Depends on your Asian and a lot of people in Avatar are pretty ambiguous racially apart from their culture. Most of them look like honkies

Op here, the threads derailed a lot. It was just supposed to be about avatar and how maybe people wouldn’t think fire nation was white if they were actually drawn with east Asia features

>>114915622we're still having that conversation actually. its just devolved into people denying that Zuko isn't drawn with asian features. It's about to devolve into race denialism territory if it goes on much longer, i don't know what you expected with this thread though.

This exact same view of beauty due to implied wealth is not endemic to Asia. But since your country nowadays pivots around race wars, you can't see beyond it to grasp that maybe human history doesn't revolve around your cultural obsessions and insecurities.

In any case, pale skin is their beauty standard, in women at least. Ever seen a geisha? There's an old Japanese saying which goes "White skin hide many faults" (色の白いは七難隠す). In the past, pale(r) skin tones were seen as desirable all over the world, because the elites (especially dainty ladies) stayed indoors while peasants burned in the sun, and whatever the rich and famous looked like was always the hotness. White people adhered to this beauty standard as well, until Coco Chanel returned from her fancy tropical vacation with a tan and unwittingly started a new trend.

It's like they're so obviously desperate to project onto anime characters and for them to be "like me" so they attach characteristics that don't even exist. Even in anime itself, they draw foreigners differently from normal characters unless they are cute girls or boys. They're drawn with beady eyes, a long nose and really big heads/faces.

>>114919506>>114919522>>114919533And to this end, people in cartoons or caricatures like nothing like they do in real life. When people see the need to attach similarity between reality and cartoons, it's just dumb, childish, and reeks of IRL issues because they desperately try to mix reality and fantasy together.Comic/cartoon artists draw with a certain style. In fantasy, it tends to be a generic style of the character designer and they will stick to that for most, if not all, of their designs. They do not look genuinely human and are firmly on the other side of the uncanny valley, so which race they are does not matter unless stated. If a person is trying to find race and identity in something that is pure fantasy, they have other deep rooted issues and should see a shrink

>>114923383I love how pissed these people get at white people who say they see themselves in the avatar characters designs, right before they're about to lecture you on how asians see all their animu characters as asian because they are asian so its natural and not racist.

>>114923412most of the whites who can pass as these characters probably have asiatic ancestry so i dont get what that user was mad about

>>114913600>>114913743lol, why are westernoids so retarded? Is this why all your work involves mannish ugly women and hyperrealistic borning looking people?

>>114914768>>114914975And they should, because there isn't any. Seeing the Little Mermaid casting is a disgrace. I knew you westernoids love ugliness but jesus christ. It's like you don't want to accept that you are repulsive. People want to watch entertainment to be ENTERTAINED and escapism. Why would they want to be reminded of you? Do you know how many people have to suffer living in inner city schools and may even have PTSD because of your race? Why don't you show a little sympathy?

>>114913600Both the Fire Nation and Earth Nation are based on East Asian nation with rather pale skin. Same with the Air Nation. Aang did meet that caricature of an Indian guy implying a lot more racial diversity in the world than what we saw.

>>114923720>>114923749She’s tanned her skin pretty dark from her days at Nickelodeon. I’d rather get someone with natural dark skin if you want to cast someone like that.

>>114923788>implying fire nation people wouldn't have tans

Growing up, I always felt like avatar characters looked like asians. But the asians are mixed. People like hispanics with more native and white ancestry, people from vietnam, thailand, filipino, hawaiians, native americans. those type of asiatics. just with lighter skin, basically ryan higa looking types. With the occasional character that looks more on the nose east asian, like mai.youtube.com/watch?v=bXS-aHMt6BE

These threads are so tiresome. Identitarians should commit mass suicide.

>>114913600It's really only Zuko and Azula that people dispute from what I have seen. Aang looks white but most people agree he's asian and his eyes only look like that because he is a child. katara and sokka are obvious. Toph reads like she is probably chinese.

>>114913600There are no white people in AvatarWhenever anime and manga have white people, they're most often blonde Nordic/Slavic typesFuck off racebaiter

>>114920006The funny thing is this kid could be a PERFECT zuko if his skin was lighter

Reminder that this is what americans look in anime.

>>114927050Americans look like gay magicians from northern Italy in Japan?

>>114927081Yes. Americans being flamboyant and louder is a plot point (given that the series is about rock).

They could have cast paler Asians but this is just fanmade and those are all off emulating K-pop or something.Japan and China have no shortage of very pale actors/actresses.

I'm vietnamese and I don't have any representation issues that big. Maybe I want more AMBF couples represented in media but that's just me.The only people who actually have identity issues are r/hapas and those weirdo white kids who think they're asian

>>114926677I honestly don't understand how Zuko doesn't look Asian to some people

>>114927388He looks like a generic white boy to me.

>>114926167she's faking trying to be mexican but she is italian.

>>114914486You should browse Holla Forums sometimes. What absolute cesspit of negativity

>>114914736Cope

>>114927724my family is Italian/Sicilian too like her and since the quarantine started I've been sitting out in my backyard every day and have gone from sickly pale to a few shades lighter than Ariana. My little sister tans freakishly dark and never sunburns because she's got that heavy Mediterranean phenotype. Ari might not even be fake tanning, she's probably using a tanning bed. if it's just her own biology then she isn't faking anything.
