[Media] Pure Asian Sister Loved by Asian Father + Asian Father vs. Angry, Evil Asian Son Redux: An Incomplete List

Sense8 (2015- ) – Features a misogynistic Asian man who don’t value his daughter as much as his son and commits suicide, an emasculated Asian men getting beat up by his sister, and is lazy and also embezzles money, and the Asian sister who falls for the sins of the father and brother. Very reminiscent of the family dynamic of Heroes and the games XCOM 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn. Read more at Kulture. Brought to you by Netflix. Whites just can't stop portraying Asian men as anti-Asian women, when it's the opposite.

Horizon Zero Dawn 2017

In the first side mission, and one of the first things you do in the game, what I encounter is an incapacitated Asian man (“Thok”) on the ground whose incompetence led to his daughter being lost. His wife is dead. Turns out he is an overbearing father who, by his daughter’s account, yells too much. This is your introduction to the open world.

The second Asian man I see is “Jom.” He explains how defenseless he is, and how he’s one of the outcasts and not one of the “braves.” His backstory: He got shunned because he was lazy and picked fights with everyone. He exudes a lack of self-confidence; his defining actions is to ask for forgiveness and permission. A lot of characters ask for favors in this game, but this character asks for permission. He is by far the most pathetic character encountered in the game.

The third Asian-male character I spoke to was worse than the preceding two. This “Greatrun Keeper” speaks like Goofy, and is just odd overall. No other character speaks like this. He also does a weird lip animation and smiles weirdly every time he talks. The white female antagonist literally says that he is “awfully friendly.” He reveals that people don’t like him due to his incessant chattering and because he stinks like fish. That is just over-the-top stereotypical. At least the protagonist says he smells more like wet fur… When the female protagonist is about to leave, he creepily smiles and says, “You could keep me company; your choiiice.” Greatrun Keeper also has a partner, an Asian-male merchant (stereotype) whom he dislikes because he doesn’t talk much (stereotype). Even in this post-apocalyptic future, Asians hang out with other Asians. Oh, and by the way, they copied and pasted this exact same merchant to another location (at the Sun Furrows hunting grounds).

The fourth Asian male I spoke to was “Tituk,” a shaman (Mystical Old Asian Man stereotype). He says a Confucianism near the end of his dealings with the protagonist. A while later, you meet “Ligan,” another Asian-male character who seems to be benign.

The next Asian male (“Ahsis”) I spoke to was racist and xenophobic to the “savage” Nora tribe from which the protagonist originates (racist Asian man myth). There are also misogynistic undertones, as his organizations just started allowing women to participate, and as he calls both the white female protagonist and an Asian female colleague “Talanah” “trash” (Asian male misogyny myth). Talanah stops short of calling Ahsis an “ass-[hole],” and her raison d’etre is to make Ahsis’ “blood boil.” You find out her father and brother are dead. Later in the game, he hires men to kill Talanah so that he can reap the rewards of killing a T-Rex robot because of his “vanity” and his desire to not “share the credit.” Ahsis eventually gets killed by the robot; following it is a comedic quip from the white female protagonist. As he dies, he mentions that he should have used the Talanah to weaken the robot. The game clarifies that he is remembered for his “treachery” while the two women will be remembered for defeating the beasts that he could not kill (feminism vs. Asian men). There is also “evidence of bowel failure” aka Ahsis shat his pants.

The next Asian male (“Ranaman”) I spoke to is as bad as the Ahsis. Ranaman, at the behest of his father, pleads the white female protagonist to help clear out killer robots in his father’s large estate. It turns out that he planted a machine that caused the machines to attack the estate in the first place, causing his father to die and his sister to be trapped. His plan was to take over the estate after his father died by having him killed. He did this as revenge for his being disowned by his father (stereotype). He was disowned because of all his gambling, stealing, and extortion (stereotype). He sent the protagonist to clear out the grounds before he takes over. His sister is shown to have a lot of hatred for him, as she calls him “that murderous snake” and “scum.” Ranaman also reveals his plan like a cheesy evil villain, just before he gets killed by a flying bird-robot midway through his talking about how easier it was to have the machines try to kill the sister. No other character is this villainous. Seriously, play the game. This Asian angel sister-brother-father dynamic also pops up in other games like XCOM2 and shows like Sense8 and Heroes.

The next Asian male I encounter is one of the henchman of the secondary antagonist (“Dervahl”) in the game (villainization). The next Asian male I saw was a very weird case. He is 100% an Asian-male geneticist, yet he speaks in some kind of European (comparable to German) accent and his name is “Patrick Bochard-Klein.” Don’t know what to make of this. You find out later he was suffocated to death. After this, I saw another Asian henchman, this time to the main human antagonist (“Helis”). Another was a spectator at a gladiator style game run by the antagonists. Another is another henchman, this time, to an evil priest. Another Asian male I saw was a mostly silent-accomplice to a bird-robot predator infestation, who did what he did to to pay off a loan. There is another Asian-male accomplice (unfortunately I did not write down the details for this one). The last Asian man I saw was one who captured a man named “Gavan.”

So many familiar stereotypes in an unrecognizable sci-fi future. In short, Asian men are replaceable; comically evil or weird; and every Asian woman has a dysfunctional relationship with Asian men (while I saw an implied WMAF and a married BMAF couple [“Gera” and “Kendert”]). They are the most villainous. They are the most one-dimensionally portrayed antagonists in the game. Don’t believe me? Play it. It also doesn’t help that there’s a region called the “Savage East” which the “people of the Sun” have fought off. The “people of the sun” connection is obviously a coincidence (“Savage East” probably is not), but was Richard Spencer (who called white people “The children of the sun”) involved with this game lmao?

You also learn from Cpl. Sarai’s log about how, in the lore, China uses manual labor while the U.S. has moved on to automation (what lol?). Fuck Hideo “White-Worship” Kojima and Sony for kissing up to this Western bullshit. Fuck Guerilla Games.

Other notes: Some characters I saw could have been Asian. “Brin” is a character that really creeps the protagonist out. He asks her if he could sniff her fingers. He drinks the blood of robots. He is an inscrutable man who sees visions after drinking blood. He was cast out of his own tribe and left to die. “Ghaliv” is a “healer” that doesn’t help unless he get paid and is extremely callous to suffering.

XCOM 2 2016 – As usual, the Asian girl “Lily” is a protagonist, while her Asian father “Raymond Shen” is dead (Asian guy always dies). (See extremely anti-Asian-male game XCOM: Enemy Unknown [2012].)

XCOM 2: Shen’s Last Gift 2016 – An AI called “Julian” sees himself as the true heir of the deceased Raymond Shen, and hates his sister, protagonist “Lily.” He tries to kill her several times, and in the end tries to crawl back to her. He also hates humans and everyone in general. He has to be programmed to not kill everyone. To recap, the Asian guy is represented in the form of a literal AI/robot and is bitter and vengeful against his sister due to his father’s favoring of the sister. We see this trope all the time (e.g. Heroes, Sense8, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc.)

Heroes (2006-2010)

“Hiro Nakamura” is an extremely stereotypical depiction of Asian men. He has a thick accent (Perpetual Foreigner) for a portion of the show, is a comic nerd, and has glasses. He gets cockblocked by his own time-travelling abilities (de-sexualization) when he tries to kiss a white female. Later on however, he is allowed to kiss “Yaeko,” perhaps implying a latent disapproval of race-mixing. He has a number of reductive nicknames as well, such as “Pikachu,” “Sulu,” “Chinese Guy,” “Littleman” (emasculation), “Samurai Warrior” and others. He also has issues with his sister and father, reminiscent of games like XCOM2 and Horizon Zero Dawn, and shows like Sense8.

Other Asian-male characters and stereotypes populate the show. Hiro’s good friend “Ando” is a similar embodiment of the Perpetual Foreigner, as are others. “Kaito,” Hiro’s father, is killed (too many Asian men is unacceptable). “Tadashi” tries to kill himself (stereotype) and succeeds in one instance and has severe issues with his family. “Ren Shimosawa” is a gamer (stereotype). “Hachiro Otomo” is a videogame designer. Takezo Kensei’s double is a coward. Other Asian-male principal extras also are stereotypical.
