Actor and author reflects on writing during times of conflict and progress in Asian American representation

Excerpt:

When you starred in the 2014 TV show Selfie, media outlets reported that you were the first Asian American actor cast as a romantic lead in a sitcom. How have representation and the quality of roles for Asian Americans in television and film changed in the eight years since you were crowned with this superlative? Do you think more can be done to mitigate the harm of years of misrepresentation or underrepresentation in Hollywood?

There have been a lot of improvements. There’s an influx of talent and a generational shift that’s happened. The most important thing is not necessarily what I see on screen, but it’s behind-the-scenes work. When I started in the business, it was a little bit like, you know, when you went to a party, and you and someone else were the only two Asians, and you didn’t know whether you were supposed to talk to them or not. And now, the ethos is different. And I think now, we would likely say, “Hey, what’s your name? Let’s compare notes and get to know one another.” That’s an incredibly critical difference. What I hope, going forward, is that Asian American creatives are less bound by mainstream representation and responding to that but feel completely free in how they write or create, operating outside of the [mainstream] sphere of influence and stereotypes.

The enemies of my enemies are my allies. Good to see another struggler against RNG. I had to get around 400 S rank on Taigei nodes to drop her while she has a 1-3% drop rate...

I think this is my retribution for finding 4 shiny pokemon in the same week

Also coincidence I thought about your work exactly today' lol happy birbday "meeyon moookee youuuu" or something like that :p

Well there's actually ONE post I feel different and not "that" old, but still, you'll find it easely as it's tagged "kongou you butt", and I still feel like from the drawing before something changed, and in the next drawing the change disapeared...

My dude, that’s 2-3 years old what are you talking about.

It’s way too old for me to comment on accurately. I recall deviating the color palette from the standard for that particular piece. Kongou is drawn in a more chibi-ish style for comedic effect and the contrast with Mutsu.

If your recent notes didn't tell you I've been scrolling through all your art and I can't help but notice some various style changes... Do you have like one style for "am lazy dis just a stupid comic anyway" and other?

The style doesn’t really change. When I’m more lazy or in a hurry I just do flat colours and not tone. If it’s a work where it’s like a single image I’d work more on the tone. There’s also shifts for comedic effect or drama, but it’s not really my art style changing. 

But with how far back you’ve gone, that’s really old art. Really old. It’s just an art change through the passage of time.
