Why can't Western producers create asian female characters that don't rely on stereotypes? It's either a docile, submissive weeb fantasy wife or edgy girl with purple hair highlights. Shouldn't we do more to show how asian women can be represented?

I dunno man pink power ranger was pretty wholesome.
Because they're racist bags of shit.

If it was more in line with reality 100% of those girls would be ugly instead of 80%.

I'm training to be an animator, one of the first things we are taught is that people tend to associate better with stereotypes.

But then how do you create original, unique characters?

Original, unique characters tend to be shit (not always, but usually). Look at every story every written (that's not shit), there are running themes. They're there because they work.

Start with a trope and then break it is the usual thing these days. There's the theory of basic story telling plots which says that all characters are basically unoriginal.

So then what are stereotypes for white male characters? It seems like they can represent a wide range of emotions and personalities. Why can't non-whites?

Incompetent, weak, defers to whatever the nearest woman and/or minority is wanting to do.
Really makes you think in a thread like this, huh?

>why can't [insert group here] [insert action here] perfectly? It's either [overgeneralization 1] or [overgeneralization 2]. Shouldn't we [insert retarded action here that requires making other people do stuff, but no you].
FTFY.

Last one I watched was guardians of the galaxy. Largely incompletent white male lead was cucking for some green bint within 30 minutes.

Women want them, men want to be them.
It's been this way for ages.
>>138616326
Maybe if all asian girls didn't have purple hair highlights hollywood wouldn't portray it as such.
How about whiny Asians make their own movies instead of always piggybacking on the West?
You guys are hardly hurting for money to do it!

>Why can't [Group of people that doesn't include me] create [stupid thing I want but won't provide a motive for]?
Gee, I dunno.
>Shouldn't [group that doesn't incldue me but I'm going to say "we" anyways] do more to show how asian women can be represented?
No. Whiny butt-munches such as yourself have already been proven to not be economic drivers of the industry you are whining constantly about. Production companies that have tried to appease your group have gotten nothing out of the deal.
