Is it socially acceptable or even legal to design a female asian character without color hair highlights?

I mean, neither of her sisters have it.
It must be a protagonist thing.
Connor Hall
gradients > stripes
Asher Cruz
Usually no, but in this case the RBG hair is so you know she's a real gamer.
Kayden Bell
totally illegal in the west. remember when a western movie adaptation of an anime manga made a lead girl with highlights like wtf
Xavier Allen
I guess most folk just figure solid black hair looks boring, so Asian protagonists gotta have some purple in there.
Ayden Ramirez
I think it comes from the thinking that asian=anime and anime=unnatural hair color, but unnatural hair color looks ridiculous so streaks will do.
Caleb Ross
It's rare, but it happens.
Adrian Perez
I think what's more illegal is how dummy thicc that Asian bih is
Noah Miller
What other examples of this black hair + purple stripe are there? There's Wyldstyle from the Lego Movie, and the Emoji movie girl looked like this too
Daniel Morales
the wh*te girl fears the BLVCK HAIR
That is why superior BLVCK haired Asians need to get their hair dyed to appear in wh*te women's media, because weak wh*te girls feel threatened by the superior shine and quality of Asian hair
Jacob Perry
that gogo girl from big hero 6 is a most popular example
Mason Rodriguez
Why is it always purple?
Thomas Roberts
No. Even asians need other asians to have hair dyed different colors in anime in order to tell them apart. You never see real blondes in anime, they're not real blondes, they're Japanese.
It's the reason why Japanese men hand each other business cards all the time. It's more dignified than everyone in your country wearing nametags.
Cooper Anderson
What category does this example fall under?
Oliver Rodriguez
>You never see real blondes in anime, they're not real blondes, they're Japanese.
There are countless anime that take place in EU/NA or explicitly feature foreign characters in Japan
Oliver Lopez
And when they do, they look like this.
Aaron Gray
Human Twilight Sparkle but green, probably
At least it's not fucking purple
Jose Powell
because purple is one colour associated with sexiness
James Myers
Really, purple is sexy? I thought Red was the sex color. So, what this means is smol azn girls really are superior, wtf I have yellow fever now
Jeremiah Miller
You might as well ask if it's okay for a Latino character not to speak Spanglish or a black character not to be a nerd. These are standard practices.
Asher Harris
>human
she's actually an alien
Anthony Smith
Because it's cutting edge and rebel
Isaiah Martin
If only cartoons were made by people who didn't watch or like cartoons. Then they wouldn't be cartoons.
Nicholas Bennett
So it's just a cliche made by authors too lazy to come up with unique designs
Wow, even in cartoons, azns are rook same
Jaxson Brown
No, it's a cliché used by authors who want a manic pixie Asian nerd gf.
Elijah Diaz
Your right, but they're harder.
Xavier Brooks
I want a manic pixie Asian nerd gf, where do I get one?
Dominic Lewis
i had no idea Twilight Sparkle was asian
Adam Carter
Twilight Sparkle is Asian, and nice digits
Lucas Price
with Mako they explained it as being residual effects of surviving a groundzero Kaiju fight. At least in that case the aesthetic ties into the lore
