Some important tips on making/writing Asian OCs

Try to stay away from the smart/nerdy Asian stereotype. Plenty of Asian people are very smart, just like in any other race. However, stereotypical racial representation is worse than none at all. By all means, you can have an intelligent Asian character but make sure their intelligence is not the main factor of their personality.

Write more than just East and light-skinned Asians. In most cases, if an author wants to have some Asian representation they’ll throw in a Chinese or Japanese character. And while yes, there aren’t very many Chinese and Japanese characters as opposed to white, there are even less Southeast, South, and Middle Eastern Asian representation. Not all Asians have light skin, even in East Asia. There are plenty of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese people with dark skin!

Do your research when naming Asian characters. Unless you want to end up like J.K. Rowling who’s sole Asian character was named Cho Chang. Do not just throw a last name with an ‘ong’ or an ‘ang’ at the end.

Represent plus size Asians. Asian women are stereotyped as petite, and just like white plus size women, plus size Asian women need representation in media.

Asian people don’t eat everything with chopsticks. I didn’t think that needed to be said, but here we are.

Create Asian characters with an alternative fashion sense/style. Asians with dyed hair. Asians with piercings. Asians with tattoos.

Stay away from the strict parent Asian stereotype. In fact, stay away from every stereotype, okay?

Keep in mind, stereotypes for other races aren’t the same for Asian people.

By all means, write about Asian culture. BUT MAKE SURE IT IS ACCURATE!!!

Write Asian characters who get in trouble and/or are reckless. Asians that swear. Asians that break rules. Asians that get detention.

WRITE ATHLETIC ASIANS!!!

Do not, under any circumstance, use the word ‘chinky’ to describe an Asian character. Just. Don’t.

Asian people face racism too.

Don’t fetishize or demonize Asian culture.

Asian people, feel free to add some more on! If you’re white or non-Asian POC do not comment if you reblog! (Unless it’s to say something like, oh nice tips! Or thank you, I didn’t know that!)

If you can, reblog. I haven’t seen any for Asian OCs.

Can I add

-remember that guy in ATLA who helped Aang unlock his chakras? Don’t. Please, please don’t.

-please don’t write us as evil.

-if you want references to good rep, just ask (me,or any other Asian people you know.)

-if you do have Asian characters, don’t be afraid to make them queer, disabled, or anything else that’s under-represented. We are not just cishet,abled people.

-again, as op said, do Not make them a stereotype. Search up stereotypes. And avoid them. You may want to ask for sensitivity readers too

That’s all I can think of now!

Hey just gonna add some more stuff

-reiterating OP’s first point, the smart/nerdy yet socially inept Asian? Don’t do that. Please.

-Asia is full of several diverse cultures and many different religions. Often times, religion becomes a part of the culture. Please, please do your research before you utterly butcher one or both of these.

-Elaborating on the above point, I have read quite a few books where a character (mostly from Asia) who either wears a hijab or continuously uses Allah’s name, but are as far from Muslims as one can get. Its cringey and honestly sometimes just painful to see. A few words and a head scarf do not make a Muslim. (I am sure there are other religions as well as cultures who have possibly suffered a bias like this , but since I don’t know them as well as my own, I’ll refrain from commenting upon any)

So yeah that’s pretty much all I have to add, if any one has more tips for Asian characters, please, feel free to add them here!

speaking from the perspective of an east asian:

asian people are not anime. anime aesthetic blogs and weeb culture =/= asian culture. do not solely base your view of us based off anime lmao

asian cultures also aren’t interchangeable. specify your asian characters’ ethnicity past “asian”. don’t limit yourself to only east asians, south asians exist and are severely underrepresented in western media.

wikipedia pages on stereotypes of east asians in the us and stereotypes of south asians

stop making rat jokes abt asian characters it’s been historically used as anti-asian (especially anti-japanese) propaganda

east asian men have historically been portrayed as emasculated and sexless compared to white people or as sexual threats to white women, as well as misogynistic. asian girls are either fetishized or deemed less sexy than white women. don’t <3

on tumblr, especially in ship art, light-skinned asian characters are periodically portrayed as comparatively feminine and submissive to their white counterparts whereas darker-skinned characters are cast as the more dominant and aggressive half. this is a trend tied to colorism in general. avoid it.

almost every single asian character ive ever seen (by white ppl) on this site lacks body hair. what the fuck we arent made of porcelain give us hair like Human Beings. draw us with arm hair, leg hair, mustaches, don’t only uplift us when we cater to western standards of white beauty

also if ur writing abt an asian character and u describe their skin as “porcelain” and emphasize the Pure Whiteness of it…………….. fuck you

yes asian people largely have dark brown hair and eyes

yes asian characters who lack those traits are still just as asian they don’t lose that status just bc theyre blonde (re: people saying reigen from mp100 isn’t japanese because he doesnt “look” japanese)

your “me no speakee engrish” jokes arent funny.

not every asian character needs to be associated with tea. or sushi or katanas or cone-shaped hats or rice

to be clear. a feminine asian character is not inherently bad. an asian character drinking tea isn’t inherently racist. it’s the fact that 1. these are used as the Main Indicators that these characters are ‘authentically’ asian and 2. they are about as deep as most white portrayals of asian culture go. the overlap with colorism means that, largely, asian ‘representation’ in white circles is largely light-skinned, inaccurate depictions of east asians that border on caricature.

support asian artists i promise we will do a better job of portraying our own culture than a white person ever could lol

By the way, you shouldn’t introduce cats like this! Especially ones that will be living together. It’s so much more likely to go bad!

Instead, keep the new cat in a separate area, such as confined to one room or behind a baby gate, for a few days after bringing it home. Bring things with the new cat’s scent, such as a blanket or toy it used, into the the living area of the resident cat and let it smell them. Let them smell eachother through the door or gate.

Over the next few days work them up to meeting. Let the resident cat into the new cat’s space while the new cat is secured (in a crate, adjascent bathroom, or kennel) and let the resident cat sniff around. Begin letting them spend time together in small doses. Make sure the resident cat can leave when it wants and that the new cat always has a safe hidey hole it can access. Do not leave them unsupervised, and make liberal use of positive reinforcement every time they interact, such as treats.

After a few days of this you should be ready to introduce the new cat into the household! This process is also good for new dogs or other pets being introduced to a resident cat’s space. This will make it much less stressful for the new animal as well.

I hate when u say “deja vu” out loud n someone ur with goes “what was it?” Like bitch we all can barely communicate the most straightforward ideas without utter confusion and chaos…..u rly believe it is within my capacity to explain exactly what fleeting moment of temporal embodiment made me feel like a vague reincarnated ghost girl trapped in a child’s dream??? Surely u are mistaken.

Reblog if you need this energy

it's 2022. donald trump has died in disgrace days after being impeached and jailed. my chemical romance's new album is coming out the same day as the new spiderverse movie. the lizzo and janelle monaé collab song is blowing up the radio. lil nas x has a verse in it. you and your partner have time and energy for dates after work after jeff bezos' assets have been seized and distributed to the public in the wake of his arrest for keeping employees in unsafe working conditions.
