So between this topic and the other topic about the same girl that are more sexual in the topic how do you say that you want to see her as maintaining her purity but at the same time compliment on her body

I never mentioned I wanted her to maintain her purity. That is how her agency dictates her life, not me. Personally, I feel women like her shouldn't have to maintain a public image for the sake of her fans, but that's just how the industry in Japan works. Imagine if someone like Selena Gomez wasn't allowed to hook up because it'll ruin the fan's perception of them. It's a tad ridiculous.

Plus this topic is more praising her cuteness, whereas the other one is praising her physical beauty. She's 20. She's done modeling before. Can't just dismiss that.

Do you legit not know the difference between acting cute as an adult or an adult impersonating children/teenagers by acting the way that they do?

That's something you came up with on your own because that's how you perceive idol groups to be like, whereas I don't necessarily see it the same way.

I'm also under the impression you're assuming that I'm sexualizing these performers. Sexualizing would be seeing them as sex objects; it's way different from calling them cute given cuteness and endearment don't always correlate to sex.

In other words, calling a girl cute =/= calling a girl hot. People in general are drawn by cute things.

Believe it or not, it's okay to love women who ooze sex appeal and women who put more emphasis into looking cute and not being eye candy. It's not a matter of choosing one over the other.

Yes the key word here is being engrossed with them and preferring a likeness to younger children then their actual age. Adults are the ones speaking with their wallets here.

You're saying I'm captivated by these women merely because they resemble children when you've been likening them to children this entire time, not me. I never made that comparison. You're making it sound far, far worse by making those implications, when in reality, they're a different persona when not dancing and making music.

In your Lady Gaga example people will still be weirded out and don't find it cute because she never made it her image to be cute. And yes you did reinforce what my argument was about earlier about the industry capitalizing on these girls being available and cute like a child or school age person even though that some may be in their 20s.

"Cute" as an adult mean something different than "childlike cute". Please know the difference.

So your issue is more with people who aren't their intended demographic (older individuals) being engrossed with them due to the image they're presenting and them capitalizing on that. I highly doubt these girls are putting on a performance for an older audience and them being cutesy and childlike resonates better with their younger audience.

There is a phenomenon, though, consisting of older men being allured by these young J-Pop idols which is a whole different ballgame.

American audiences for the most part wouldn't find that endearing, they'd find it weird and offputting

You underestimate the amount of J-Pop fans here in America. Perhaps to the common folk, they might not understand it, but Japanophiles and otakus will think nothing of it.

To be the man, you've got to BEAT the man!

We have users here associating being cute with being childlike and using the two synonymous as if they're one and the same.

They may act childlike in a skit or possibly backstage, but their objective is presenting an image that is endearing and profitable.

If Lady Gaga put on a Japanese schoolgirl outfit and proceeded to act as cutesy as possible, would you assume she's trying to act like a child or simply alluring an audience with her endearing behaviour? Now if she begged for a lollipop and threw a fit when she doesn't get one, then that's acting like a child.

If you want to call it infantile, go ahead, but I see it differently. To me, it's more about preserving their purity being the young women that they are.

Acting childlike might be part of the program, but not necessarily what they embody.

Pure as in infantile and childlike

Nope. Pure as in abstaining from romantic relationships and sex and maintaining an innocent image in the eyes of the public.

They're not catering to children; their main audience are usually young girls or young people in general.

Thst was practically what I said.

You worded it in a way that made it seem like they're forced to look like babies or very young children (hence, you said looking infantile) when that isn't exactly the motive behind exuding kawaii behaviour.

For the record, being cute isn't synonymous with acting like a child.

Looks like a child.

Not that I agree with it but the idol industry is notorious for keeping women looking infantile.

Not exactly true. They exhibit a kawaii exterior and demeanor, but that's hardly trying to imitate infantile behaviour. It's more maintaining a profitable look that'll sell albums and merchandise to J-Pop aficionados.

They are notorious for preventing them from pursuing a partner while under contract, though. It's for the sake of keeping the illusion that they're single, pure, and attainable.

Pepperoni, Im sure if you took a week off of the Internet then returned and looked at January Jones, youd be smitten by her natural beauty.

Highly unlikely. And like I said, I know she's beautiful, that isn't the issue. Only possible way she'd stand out for me was if you somehow compiled a collage of unsightly or homely women than not even the most desperate of man would pursue, and I suddenly came across her in a sea of ugliness.

If you put her right next to women like Scarlett Johannson, Sara Underwood, Amanda Seyfried, etc. etc., I wouldn't even look at her twice.

yes but its not used exclusively for Chinese people, is it?

and how do you tell if someone is Chinese or not?

You're overthinking things here. Normally, when someone's mocking an Asian accent, it's almost guaranteed to be Chinese or Japanese, the latter typically incorporating lots of Engrish. They're the most imitable due to pop culture and media.

Looks like Reina Treindl

Gif won't open, but I looked her up, and there's a similarity between them, most notably the blatant Caucasian features and light brown hair.

This one could be another dead ringer, but still, nowhere near her caliber.

Just watched a video her. Didn't expect that voice coming from her, but still, her face is just nothing to write home about. It just doesn't jump at you because of how basic it is.

I got downvoted on Reddit for criticizing the suspect and her bringing the race card into the equation.

Regardless of race, if you walk in wearing that particular store's merchandise, brand new, tag and all, and walk out looking the same way, of course it'll raise suspicions.

By wearing the tag, you're just setting yourself up for trouble. If it's a fashion sense, it's a pretty ridiculous one.

It's crazy how many of you are so scared for no reason, that's part of the problem.

If you're not doing anything wrong and you're not a dick then this shouldn't be an issue. I've had plenty of cops stop me, follow me, talk to me, pull me over, all types of shit and if you act like an adult then there's not an issue. More people need to realize that.

There's a reason cops (and people in general) find sovereign citizens insufferable. Never has there been an instance where the cop goes "Oh man, they know more about the law than I do! I guess you're free to go, have a nice day, sorry for the inconvenience upstanding citizen!"

Follow orders, don't be a insubordinate, take 'em to court later if you wish to do so.

She is pretty; looks like Sara Underwood. I think January Jones has great facial features, though. She can look either cute, beautiful, or sexy depending on the picture.

That is indeed Sara Underwood, certified Goddess. Unlike Jones, I can pinpoint her defining facial features, such as thick eyebrows, pointy nose, and luscious lips; with Jones, her face is just too standard, she has no distinguishing characteristics aside from being a symmetrical pretty face.

Pretentious probably isn't the correct term, more like "show-off". To the artist, it's nothing spectacular from a creative standpoint, but the common folk will probably be extremely impressed with what they see.

Yea, painting isn't exactly a medium I exercise frequently. It's too messy, and with the advent of technology and digital art being a thing, I'm more inclined to explore that.

I'm not huge on abstract, either, nor would I consider myself a fan of Cubism, Surrealism, practically any art where the composition is distorted and takes a dive into the subconscious. I don't like having to interpret the message of what the artist is trying to tell me.

In terms of what modern art I enjoy, digital art is still my favorite, particularly anime-inspired.

She makes me think of an asian Rashida Jones

I see the resemblance, mostly in the hair, but Rashida looks more like Zooey Deschanel if she were African-American.

Nothing heavy about her.
This is what a normal sized woman looks like.

Internet standards

I'd say she's pretty average in terms of body, neither fat nor skinny. I think her biggest asset, aside from her looks, are her thicc legs. They is divine

Not a fan of the pig-nosed look personally

Blasphemy. I value cute girls with pig noses you just wanna *boop*. I think any girl would look better with a pig nose, especially if pointy.
