Asians outraged by hair streaks in movies
 

We have found a new thing to get outraged about:

I'm honestly surprised this isn't a BuzzFeed video. :lol:

All things aside, it is a bizarre trend.

NEW?

:lol:

The complaints about that trope is a few years old by now.

Are those outraged Asians or some random bozos offended of behalf of Asians?

Both, at least what I've seen.

I admit, it makes me a little sad that filmmakers feel the need to do that with Asian women. Like, Asian women are too plain to the eye, so they need to step in and give some "flair." I don't think it's something that's worth outraging over, though, but maybe something to be mindful of in avoiding.

Hell, even look at what all non-Laird versions of Karai have done. 2012 Karai AND 2014 movie Karai both got all kinds of crazy color hair dye/streaks.

I doubt there's a lot of outrage, at least not now, maybe years ago when people started to notice it, but more of a "what a tired trope, let's not?"

Ugh, true. At least IDW Karai hasn't gone that route (yet).

Never gave it much thought, but yeah, that's kind of an odd stereotype/character trope. :tconfuse: I suppose there are worse ones, but I understand that being stuck in the confines of certain depictions gets irritating. Esp when the people writing the material for characters of your demographic are themselves totally outside of it. (Just like how the cool kid in film is never the one with glasses or a bit overweight; always the dork, unpopular one, or, in the case of the chunky one, the funny sidekick.)


But I have to say, I am a tad envious that it's not something most whites could ever look that cool with since natural jet black hair isn't too common. :) Would look so bleh paired with my dark blonde. Only jet black can give it that pop.

OK, admittedly that video wasn't really about hair dye as much as it was about sterotypes of asian women in media. However, it's still pretty laughable to start out the video by declaring hair dye as racist.

It's like one of the least "problematic" stuff out there.
I'd say it's not even "problematic" at all. Just a harmless thing, of which only joyless no-lifers would be offended.

I'm outraged by their outrage.

I am outraged by your outrage about their outrage!!

I'm mildly miffed by your outrage about his outrage about their outrage!

So... I shouldn't die a purple streak in my own jet black hair? Or I should?

I am so confused. I gotta cover up the premature gray with SOMETHING...

are you a strong independent Asian woman who's using the purple streaks to show you're not delicate and submissive? :lol:

Not on the outside, at any rate. Not YET. :trazz:

Hey, someone's gotta blaze that trail and cover that gray with neon streaks.



Meanwhile I'm just stuck with somewhat white streaks (but not too bold). Aka the little bit of X-Men Rogue look nature has decided to go with... Best I can do. lol

Eh, most of it is in my beard anyway. :tlol:
