[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8097172, member: 6802378"] Yes, Japan has been and is still the main influence for Western fiction based in Asian cultures. But that is not a right reason to be complaining about that everytime. I also miss the rich mythology based in the folklore from the East and Latin-speaker countries of Europe (but the classic Greco-Latin myths). Most of famous fairy tales present in the media are from North-West of Europe. The knight is an universal trope, not only in videogames and RPGs. In D&D it's the paladin class. We shouldn't require a positive discrimination quota for China, Korea and other countries, but only allowing more doors being opened. In the internet age we can read free Korean webtoons in our language. This is a free market. The no-Japanese Asian authors are who have to create interesting lines. And even authors from the same nation may disagree and having totally different points of view about their own fatherland. My advice is don't force anybody to agree you but to use positive stimuli when you want to convice. If you are too agresive while you are arguing, the other will not trust and will not want to keep listening you. This matter needs better diplomacy and other social skills, wondering how to use speculative fiction to build a bridge between the different cultures. Have you forgotten Hasbro have got any deals with Japanese companies and it wants a good relation with Chinese market?
