Stereotypes in Anime
 

Does anyone here ever get bothered by Stereotypes in Anime? It seems like Latinos are always underpaid workers, blacks look like they did in 1950's american cartoons and every Crossdressor/Transgender looks like a huge hairy dude wearing a little bit of leather or latex. I know these arent every case, but do any of them bother you guys?

Yeah I agree.

They base the races to much on reality it gets sorta annoying after a while.

well Japanese people hate everyone that isnt japanese, so when the character they draw is of a different origion or race then japanese, they purposely make them with defaults. The only acceptions are if that character is a main character and then sometiems they make them completely bad ass *Afro Samuri* but note that the Actor doing the voice for Afro Samuri wanted the Anime Character to look like him, so that was an understatement XD!.

Another Acception was Evangelion Aska, she was German origin and very beautiful, and this is because the female japanese voice actor they got to play her, her father was German.

I do not mind some of the stereo typing becuase usually they play it off silly or something like that.

Although i do agree they do it quite aggressively.

I really couldn't give a crap in all honesty.
Stereotypes in anime amuse me if anything. Daylight racism with no consequence.
Apart from Transsexuals and Transgenders, but I think thats just plain wrong.

either way they make it hilarious for the most part XD!

Well I don't quite think an anime would be the same if they had the looks and personalities they have in real life.
Especially if you where picking up on ethnic minorities in my area.
Would an anime really be good if they get stabbed or just get grouped and kicked the shit out of by a large load of chavs dressed like twats?

that depends, does moses show up and have a shit load of animals to save the day?

**in case you didnt ge the reference, im talking about School Rumble**

RE: Stereotypes in Anime
 

No, they just get beat an hospitalized.
That really doesn't sound like a fun anime does it.

RE: Stereotypes in Anime
 

that depends on who beats them up, i think Vash would make that fight end quickly XD!

RE: Stereotypes in Anime
 

I have no idea who Vash is. xD
