i think the ideal appearances in asian societies nowadays are very anime inspired. it doesn't look natural, and if you look at k-pop stars, the men there look so effeminate. kind of like anime men.

Then I see actual asian people in real life (read: my family), and none of them look like that. Whenever I visit Asia (mostly China and Taiwan), I see normal looking people with NATURAL FEATURES. but the moviestar/celebrities of china, not the average regular person, appears so different. not authentic. not real.

In this image, the left side shows a natural, authentically beautiful Asian girl. REAL asians, whereas the right side has the trendy idealized image of a woman, who clearly went under the knife (bc nobody actually looks like that).

FAKE ASIAN FACE versus NATURAL asian face

Some shows look better than others.

what deeply disturbs me is the objectification of females in so many animes, but it doesn't surprise me -- Japanese culture has always been deeply misogynistic. i'd never want to be a woman living there, eugh.
