it's hilarious because people were saying that Sony was appropriating Japanese cultural by having a white dude playing "some bamboo flute"

Guy was one of the few Masters of the instrument, and wearing traditional Japanese clothing is a big part of the tradition of playing the shakuhachi(which twitter didn't know the name of)

Also Sony is a Japanese company.

oh yeah that was so good. bad optics for the western company making a subpar open world game about being a samurai/shinobi that you could see all the sawdust on the floor of, but that guy really is the best player of that flute in the world

It’s funny you say that, I ordered mapo tofu from a chinese restaurant and it was delicious but I found I preferred what I made at home

But then I also upped the ratio of pork to tofu to 1:1

I feel like Raiden being the whitest white man is actually absolutely vital to the "American martial arts craze on VHS" Mortal Kombat aesthetic, along with the Chinese ninjas.

It's a shame that cultural appropriation became the Asian American Issue when there's a big difference between someone being a weeb and literally stealing from black musicians because it was impossible for them to profit off their own work.

When ATLA was running I remember my dad being fascinated by the episode when Zuko and Iroh visit an obviously Korean-inspired village, even though they are very minor characters. Of course this was 20 years ago and references to Korean culture is not as novel as it used to be, but it's actually a little upsetting that the current take is that any American cartoon must be appropriation by white people and that no Asian person could possibly take anything away from a non-Asian-made series.
