SU Connie is likeable though.

>>91513745
When did SU Connie become an Asian? She was Indian.
>>
>>91513808
pretty sure india is in asia

>>91513745
KOTH Connie is a character.
SU connie is a trophy they gave him to pretend fat dumb retards can get girls.
>>
>>91513854
That'd imply she does nothing but suck his dick but she actually does stuff independent of Steven.
>>
the artists for KOTH actually understand human anatomy, unlike SU artists
>>
>>91514073
It's almost as if they stylize their characters or something!

Hey everyone, the anatomy of Dexter's Lab sucks. Goback2art skool Gennedy you hack!

>>91514118
And don't even get me started on AT anatomy. Arms aren't supposed to bend/stretch like that!
>>
>>91513745
It's not a "ripoff". both shows are just following the fat-dumb-dad / thin-smart-wife family sitcom trope.

Yeah? These people (Melanesians) are Asian too, in fact, they're closer to East Asians than any other race, especially Sub-Saharan Africans. Whenever Americans talk about Asians, they aren't talking about these guys, Indians, Arabs, Russians, or Israelis.

Are you British?
>>
>>91513838
it is, even though they are from the continent of Asia, Indians haven't been a large part of world politics in recent history and they look vastly different than viets koreans nips and chinese so they get labeled separately whenever Americans talk about them.
>>
>>91513745
Cause her name is actually not "Connie"
It's "Kahn Jr."
>>
>>91514118
>stylize
a 50% reduction in mass of the lead character over 3 seasons is not stylization
>>
>>91514118
KOTH probably actually took time to draw each frame out but SU... I could probably draw the SU frames at the same pace as their artists
>>
>>91513745
It's more of a trope than a ripoff.
I KOTH wasn't the first to do it, either.
>>
Don't they both play violin?

Steven's healing spit healed her non-chibiness. Do you even watch the show?

All of steven universe is just a king of the hill fan fiction

Steven and Bobby share some archetypes but the shows narrative and their own individual traits make them very different takes on similar concepts.

The Connies, though neither has as much screen time as the boys, are in the same category.

KotH Connie isn't as into fantasy novels/fiction nor does she have the lonely outlook of someone who moves around alot because of their dad's job. SU Connie doesn't play a musical instrument, TMK, and actually developed as a person to the point where she ultimately stood up to her mom and *talked with her about her problems*. KotH Connie is sadly complacent with the plans her parents have set out for her. She also has an exuberant nature; even though Jasper and the incident in school gave her some PTSD moments, she's pretty adaptable and super into the crazy ass world centered around Steven.
>>
>>91514468
that probably explains why Steven himself needs a fucking stool to reach the counter that he was making together breakfast over with no issues in one of the first few episodes
>>
>>91514523
>SU Connie doesn't play a musical instrument
she plays violin and has attacked seagulls with the bow before.
>>
>>91513745
I remember when Connie was cute

Wouldn't Pearl be Hank with Steven as Dale?
>>
>>91514671
>Dale
the closest to dale is Ronaldo and he's as hateable as dale is great
>>
>>91514118
that might have passed a season or so ago but your cartoon is inconsistent shit guy
>>
>>91514556
>>91514626
Huh. I just remember her playing tennis.

Still Point stands. SU Connie is/was primarily a shy studious girl with an adventurous side that she is gradually letting out. KotH Connie is more down to earth and studious to greater degrees.
>>
>>91514292

Probably. In Europe the term "Asian" probably makes people think of middle easterners rather than people farther to the east.
>>
>>91513745
>Two characters cant be similar without being rip offs

Anon, fuck off.
>>
>>91513745
wait, I thought KotH Connie had a crush on Redcorn's son

I want Connie to fall for some other guy now, just to add to Steven's torment.

I dunno and take this with a grain of salt but ive heard that they arent as close to asians as you would think. They came from an earlier migration, same with the aulstralian abos than the Polynesians who came after them.

Fuck off, King of the Hill's is the president's skin color at best.

why the fuck should I give a shit about this? Asia is fucking Asia
>>

Yeah sure but most English speakers mean East Asians when they say Asian not just anyone from the entire massive continent

>>91514260
But Pig is the less intelligent of the two.

Laotians are dicks 99.8% of the time.
Curries are generally pushovers but dicks when they have power.
>>
>>91514292
Which is why it's more correct to say "East Asians" to differentiate them from sand people, rats, slavs and curries.
>>
>>91522288
holy shit this is like half spot on, I wouldn't have thought this concept worked as half-well as this does.

Well, cultutally, economically and politically, you can divide that into North East Asia and South East Asia.
The North being China, Japan, Korea. The South being mostly ASEAN.
The ethnic situation is a bit more complex and China alone has a number of ethnic minorities while shedding Han people across the entire region.
>>
>>91523930
Oh, I'm not doubting that in the least.

My point is that saying East Asians is less pinpointing race and more of a easier way to exclude a wide range of the unintended ones in context.
>>
>>91513745
At least koth Connie had concequnces for her actions

Snapping a kids arm but lol it's okay no consequences
>>
>>91513745
I dunno man, Maheswaran sounds more African than anything else, but you're right about the other stuff.
>>
Most of those are just Asian stereotypes and there are dozens of characters who can fit at least 4/5 of them (obviously ignoring the incorrect name thing).

they do.
