>le self-insert slim japanese male with brown/black hair

Let me guess, most of these guys are they are either submissive and weak faggots or are "based".

>japanese male with brown/black hair
That's literally every Japanese male.

>>160126296
that is just the protagonists from this season

Why would you answer yourself in the question?

>>160126008
Because that's what 80%+ Japanese teenage males look like?

Problem is, they look like women.
If they'd actually follow a realistic approach, their faces would look like old Asian men ones

They're writing what they know.

same reason why most hollywood protags are white

>>160126619
>old Asian men
but they're in high school

>>160126619
>they look like women
Are you retarded?

>>160126008
This isn't really a problem when all the people around them have, relatively, realistic coluored hair. What I don't understand is why they would make them look this generic and then surround put them in a world full of colourful hair and ostentatious outfits. In that case I suppose it really is just for self-insertion purposes.

Riddick is hardly a fair choice when it's just Vin Diesel. It's not like they really had a choice in how he looks.

I think it'd be fun to see the guy from SpecOps the Line get switched with a generic harem protagonist after he completely lost his shit at the end of the game.

I thought about finding an image with of all the "white dudes with short brown hair" protagonists instead, but then the only thing you'd be trading is jap dudes for white dudes.

Jokes aside, that would be a fun one. I guess it would be like an extra serious version of Full Metal Panic, where you trade in the giant robots for an extra helping of PTSD.

>>160126869

Black and brown hair are good and better than non realistic hair colors

Top and bottom far right are good designs. 3rd and 1st bottom row is ok, and 2nd bottom row is borderline.

As long as you can tell them apart there is nothing wrong with a boring design.

This better?

>>160126008
I mean, looking at them, I still can make them out what kind of character they are, or how they act.

Character isn't just skin and hair color anon. It's facial expression and posture as well.
For example, I'm not watching their respective series, but I can tell number 4 and 5 are very, very different characters.

How can I self insert when I'm not slim and my hair isn't cute?

>>160126008
Because that's what all young Japanese men look like.

>>160126008
1 looks like a nothing, neutral highschool MC.
2 looks like some normal, kinda nervous dude, but is actually dead inside.
3 looks like a nothing, neutral highscool MC
4 looks like some super awkward, kinda girly MC. The type of nigga who'd use "boku"
5 looks like some sort of no-bullshit coolguy, probably gets high marks or something.
6 looks like a nothing, neutral fantasy/isekai MC.
7 doesn't look like an MC, just from the fact that he's wearing a hoodie under his blazer. That's too much character. Looks like an outgoing, popular type though.
8 looks like some excited, nervous, puppy type.

Those are 27 characters, Mario can be excluded because wtf.
How many games were released during the last 10 years? A few ten thousand?
I also like how Heavy from TF2 is included, a game with a cast that does not fit that stereotype.
But maybe that's exactly what this image is trying to convey, here's a list of cherrypicked and shoehorned characters that fit my narrative, from a genre that is fucking vast.

Self inserts are cancer. I don't want to "relate" I just want a MC with his own stand out personality.

You have plenty of Hollywood movies to self-insert into. And almost every other fighting game deuteragonist. Granted, these days, blondies are almost all villains.

>>160127544
Never forget.

If a male protag doesn't have some outrageous personality or appearance he is accused of being a "self-insert" by people who have no idea what self-insertion means and have no idea that self-insertion is massively more common in the West than it is in Japan, where men are happy to watch shows about teenage girls.

No, they'd just be covered in acne and have bad teeth. Real Japanese people have really crooked teeth.

>>160132787
That's what he did in the manga IIRC.

>>160126306
Japanese people do not have brown hair. They have black hair and black eyes, 99% and them which is why every single character with brown hair basically is a western insert by default.

>>160128746
Why are they allowed to keep their tests?
In my school we had to return them after a couple of days.

>>160140167
East Asians don't always have "black hair" per se. It's just higher density per square inch than western hair, but it's a coppery color if you look at it in bright lighting.
