It’s still a Japanese name, so it’s not exactly something that’ll stay offensive for very long.

      I grew up in Hawaii where in public schools, casual racism is hot amongst kids. Nothing violent, just kids yelling put slurs because it was funny. The slurs however, would get really obscure. Like, names that were originated before Hawaii became a state (I blame my Hawaiian studies teacher :p). The most obscure slur for Chinese people are Pah Keh, which no one outside of my elementary school uses.

Like how almost every character's names just seem to be just random Chinese and Japanese words are just fumbled together or how a presumably Chinese character painting the eye of a Japanese Daruma simple stuff like this is really noticeable if you know what you're looking at,It would be like a Brazilian Character celebrating Cinco De Mayo.I wouldn't say its overtly racist more so extremely ignorant,but nothing new at the end of the day.

They are just fictional characters with Asian inspiration when it comes to fighting style . It doesn't take place in Asia. It's like me , a Romanian, being angry at vampire shows cause it's stereotypical or it does not even take place in Romania, when the whole point of those shows is to have a vampire and not to honour my country . Same for this show , it's just a gimmick based on action films .How is it ignorant . When I was a kid and I watched this show ,I thought it was badass.

      @@dragonbullets2763 Yeah,I'm aware theyre chickens and that it doesn't literally take place in Asia. Taking inspiration isn't a problem,what I'm saying is that meshing two cultures together and treating them as if they were the same is rather ignorant especially when there are some tensions between those cultures,and I wouldn't blame someone if they were offended. Again taking inspiration from a culture isn't a problem "Samurai Jack" is an example of a show that does it wonderfully the "problem"(it's not really that big of a deal) here more lies in the misrepresentation of said cultures. Just because it is "gimmick" does not mean it can't be offensive,nor does you not finding it offensive. All I am saying is though I personally am not offended could easily see why anybody would be because of the way it uses it's inspiration is kinda questionable and kinda ignorant. A Spanish character named Pope Bagette Spegetti would still be questionable even if your shows gimmick/inspiration is Europe, not everyone may find it particularly offensive but would still probably deem it rather questionable if it wasn't for a joke(though I don't think anybody would actually find that one offensive) it's the same idea.

As I said i do understand this to an extent since there are so many vampire parodies where their accent could be seen as offensive , and their names are just a variation on Vlad and Dracula , Dracula being a old leader in Romania. Having the name of an respected national hero of my country be transformed in to this parody joke , with a variation on the name ,failing to showcase places such as transylvania successfully.. is something I could cry and bitch about , but they never intended to showcase that country, most of them wanted to pay homage to an old horror character lightly based on old myths from around my country . Getting back to the point , they are trying to pay respect in a way to action movies with a more cartoonish approach.. they are not trying to pay respect from the country the movies come from , just like Dracula parodies. People that would get offended don't understand the point of the show . It tries to mimicking a intentionally fictional world , such as the one seen in those old movies which is not exactly a accurate showcase of asiatic cultures either. I get why it would be offensive too , but it's not like they wanted it to be .it's not ignorance, it's just that they didn't research Asia as much as the movies from there , wanting to create a wacky non-serious show ,not a samurai Jack style show

Im not saying they are bad people because of it but I am saying by definition it is still ignorant because while yes you could argue that they are being inspired/parodying movies from these cultures(which I disagree with considering that if this where the case we would see alot more of their tropes)I would argue that movies are definitely a representation of culture.Knights in a western would still be weird and would probably piss off someone who owns a gun so would professor Hamburger Texas the true American Patriot.And I don't think (and I may be wrong) that anybody really thinks all Romanian people are like Dracula,Im pretty sure anybody that stupid doesn't know that Romania is a country and if they do probably would associate Romanians with like Nico from GTA4 who I don't even think is Romanian,I do however know from personal experience that it is extremely common for people to think that every eastern Asian country is part of China.Intent at the end of the day is kinda irrelevant.
