ITT: I understand your "moe"

[Anonymous No.]

All modern Japanese anime is based off of this character. Note the huge eyes, bulbous head, small body, and vacant stare. The figure is Betty Boop, created in 1930 and sent overseas with American servicemen to entertain them during times of intense boredom. The Japanese saw it, liked it, and began creating their own images in its likeness because of a strange form of national stockholm syndrome. So when you argue with your dad about your weird obsession with "obscure, misunderstood culture" and how he "just doesn't understand your moe", You're actually touting a cheap representation of a cheap drawing made by Americans.

Make this thread in /a/ where people actually do that kind of thing.

Aren't you glad animu has come so far since Betty Boop? I, for one, don't think I'm capable of fapping to that ugly thing.

Congrats, you just found out that cultures like to steal stuff from other cultures. I'd post a slowpoke, but I don't have any sufficiently slow.

actually anime characters started being drawn with huge eyes because the mangaka who drew astroboy based his style on Disney characters and other people liked his style

Oh, Japanese art style is based on Betty Boop? Yes we know. We've known this for years.

Some of us don't live with our parents anymore. Try this at /a/, they will probably get kick out of this.
