Whatever GGP was referring to, I'm sure it'll all turn out OK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRVhWPignvU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRVhWPignvU Anime as escapist might mean that characters who read as exotically confrontational wrt japanese mores might read as exotically non-confrontational wrt to us mores? (compare https://eli.li/gundam-is-just-the-same-as-jane-austen-but-happens-to-include-giant-mech-suits https://eli.li/gundam-is-just-the-same-as-jane-austen-but-ha... ; to what extent does Asuka's personality in NGE reflect her ハーフ background?) [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asuka_Langley_Soryu#:~:text=%22Are%20you,catchphrase%2C https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asuka_Langley_Soryu#:~:text=%2... certainly reminds me of german confrontational drama; it's only missing a closing "or..." ] PS. I think I've already asked you and Paul, but any more non-gaming recs for relatively accessible chinese pop culture? In maritime (not anime!) news, in a couple of weeks let's see where https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:729800/mmsi:414468000/imo:9623269/vessel:THOUSAND%20SUNNY https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:72... may be.

PostNY resolution is to stop kayfabe-ing and get that orange psychotherapist cert that's been dangling in front of me :) You (& GGGP) seem to be good at voicing what's in heads-- Asuka as a Japanese idea of a German hafu was exactly in the back of my mind. (Personally she seems fully Korean/Chinese, but maybe my psycho-cultiral-timeframe is off by a few decades?) Just a quick shot. A few hours later...

  Stop kayfabe-ing? Do you have any opinions on the chances of Randy "The Ram" Robinson doing a face turn?

  Speaking of HK, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0K8jkNLPdQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0K8jkNLPdQ is amazingly accessible, but looking at AM it does seem that {c,m}-pop stars have short lifespans? Are they like the May Queen/Wicker King archetype, sacrificed young so their fans may collect their relics? Or have I just over extrapolated from N=2 (and Joplin et al) :-) ?

        Ahh yes Bruce Lee, was he in your N=2. It makes even more sense if you consider only the internationally famous ones (so J would be kind of an anomaly-- Nujabes?)
