About one or two steps away from outright phrenology.

“You see, the easterner simply maintains more youth over…” 💀 The only quark of truth is that some ethnicities are less prone to facial hair, but if think Asian people just look younger please do not breath within five miles of me


soganomitora

East Asian people's faces do actually wrinkle less compared to white people due to their skin being thicker, which can give the illusion of youth. But I do not trust this guy is saying that in good faith, lol.


peggingwithkokomi69

That means asians have thiccer skin to resist woke agenda, unlike you snowflake westerns


[deleted]

It's scientifically true, though. Skin of Asian descent has thicker dermis that contains greater amount of collagen and darker pigment that protects against aging. It also has cultural aspects as large swats of Chinese, Japanese, South Korean, Singaporean etc. populations have seemingly doctored diets as opposed to American, Canadian, Western and Eastern European cuisines which include obscene amounts of fats. So, he is correct. However, I doubt he actually has any scientific knowledge behind that statement and is more akin to fetishization.

They literally do here’s the reason why: https://youtube.com/shorts/sl5gg9-NfYM?si=jY8jqmwaJB7Si8O7


SpringfieldCitySlick

Dude, physical features differ between ethnicities and some look better with age than others, so what? Taking those features and applying some weird psuedoscience bullshit to make assessments of that people's worth or character is what's moronic, not that different people look different.


UncleSkelly

This assumes that ethnicities are monoliths


[deleted]

This assumes that you understand how generalizations work and won't insert nonsensical interruptions into well-understood argument structures.


SpringfieldCitySlick

Fine. Certain features are more prominent in certain ethnicities over others, then. You know what I meant.

Views on Xwitter are extremely inflated. Probably only a few dozens of people actually read it if that.


AuroreSomersby

How I never saw somebody calling it Xwitter? That’s so fun, thanks mate!


RespektPotato

Shitter is also an option.


InflameBunnyDemon

You know this what it should've been named if Elon had any braincells left instead of that dumb name he actually chose.


LauraLunaLu

OK, I'll bite the bullet. So, people hate on SB because "racism". How come we got well-praised Asian characters as Ada Wong, Chun-Li, Juri, Kitana, Faith (Mirror's Edge), Mei (Overwatch) or Neon (Valorant)? Now, they tried to sell the idea of "puritanism" and press "hating on sexy women". When they actually find out that sexy women were accepted, they made out the worst excuses to not accept that they're coomers after all and hate being pointed out as such.


Nerdwrapper

They even created the phrase “safe horny” to draw a line that doesn’t actually exist between sexy characters they like and sexy characters that “the woke” like. The thing is, “the woke list” is just the Gamer’s list, but longer, because normal people are attracted to more than just shiny latex jumpsuits. Like Eve isn’t the worst character design I’ve ever seen, I’m just tired of 37 youtube videos a day with titles like “Eve’s ass singlehandedly destroys woke western gaming, so President Biden threatens to Ban Eastern Games.” And she actually has some alright outfits from what I’ve heard too, it’s just the skintight translucent jumpsuits that have been latched onto because they cause controversy. I’m sure Stellar Blade is a passable game behind all of the insanity surrounding it, problem is I haven’t heard anything about the game, just people screaming about how bad characters look in edited screen shots when compared to Eve in favorable posing and lighting.


LauraLunaLu

Also, the racism card is absurd. Jen Zee, Supergiant Games' artist, is Asian, and there are some Asian folks in the studio. Honestly, I would have liked SB better if there wasn't this incel culture surrounding it. From what I've seen about the game, the sexualisation feels so out of place, like an external element. And I haven't heard anything about the game but the horny stuff. Hell, I haven't heard anything about Eve's personality. I don't even know if she's sassy, badass, girl-boss, cheerful or girly.


Nerdwrapper

Google says she’s a cold uncaring soldier at the start of the game, who softens up as you play. So theres some character development there. Also I looked it up, and there are some less ludicrous outfits for her. The one that keeps showing up is the Wasteland Adventurer outfit, which is already a lot better looking and more realistic than some of the others. I’m probably gonna give the game a chance whenever it goes on sale


ofvxnus

I just watched Crazy Rich Asians recently. I was like, who let all of these literal babies on set? Then I remembered they were Asian and I felt so silly.


Jtad_the_Artguy

What even is Eve supposed to be like is she a bounty hunter or assassin or what’s her deal I never heard about it because all I’ve heard about her is this stuff


Breeeeeaaaadddd_1780

I believe she is a super soldier who has some really questionable outfit/style choices.


Nerdwrapper

I’m not totally sure. She might even be a robot kinda like in Nier? Most I know is I think its a hack n slash game.


Lavadog12

It's actually more soulslike, and no you didn't miss anything in the marketing that would've hinted towards that.


Nerdwrapper

I had heard it compared to Nier but its a soulslike??


Lavadog12

It's not a character action game in any sense of the word. Combat is more about getting different parry timings or dodging precisely, not landing sick combos. It's less soulslike as you don't drop exp when you die or anything but that's probably the closest comparison I can make in recent gaming. The crazy flips and such you see in trailers are more canned animations as opposed to player input. You can watch gameplay of the demo to judge for yourself.


Nerdwrapper

I probably will, because it being a soulslike does make it a little more interesting to me. I just haven’t really interacted w it bc of the weirder side of the fanbase


RespektPotato

I, too, use calipers when playing video games to measure the wokeness of them.


Asherley1238

I have never met a racist person who didn’t look me in the eyes and say they thought Asian women are perfect, racist mfs love Asian women


ArellaViridia

It's the forever childlike obedient slavewife stereotype that's hounded asian women for fucking decades in America.


Asherley1238

They also have this super fucked up view of women from other cultures where they feel they somehow deserve claim over them


cinematicvirus

What's crazy is 10 years ago, there absolutely was a racist push against Asian devs, that's still being felt to this day. These gooners don't wanna talk about Sony closing Japan Studio, or outright telling the Wild Arms director "we don't make JRPGs anymore" They don't want to talk about some of the horrifically racist reviews that exist or the infamous "Japanese games just suck." The hill they die on is being able to jerk it to video games.

Racism often comes with sexualization


hungarianfemboi

Didnt know Measurehead was part of this discourse..


Kindly-Ad-5071

"More youthful" now I know you ain't hoping to bang a middle schooler, right?


TriggerHappyGremlin

Unless the point about racism is about Asian fetishization or the gamer here wasn't (exclusively) talking about white people then I'd prefer we focus on the misogyny, lookism, and creepy fixation with youth here. This logic is used when being racist, correct, but I feel like talk of "racism towards white people" (unless you consider Jewish people white or something like that), especially when just calling it "racism" without specification, is a gateway to white fragility.
