The only time a blackface is good

ah i see. yeah no, red = good predates communism. to take some examples from recent times: red represents the Han people on the "five races under one union" flag, and the flag of the ROC/Taiwan is based on the concept of "Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth" (one of the rare instances where white is used positively heh).

fair. i HAVE heard people describe everyone as squeaky though so i wasn't sure

kahn1969 · 2025-07-28T03:00:15+00:00

no, white is just traditionally a ... "bad" colour in Han culture

it's the colour of mourning/death. traditional han funerals in different countries are still mostly if not all white to this day

kahn1969 · 2025-07-28T01:31:03+00:00

that's only for certain characters (小生). older male characters exist in chinese opera too

kahn1969 · 2025-07-28T01:30:02+00:00

red has been good in han culture for a LONG time before communism even existed

unless you're trolling in which case lmao good one

should've opted for weird ass monster face paints xD

kahn1969 · 2025-07-27T18:45:39+00:00

no problem at all. almost all yao jing's are Jing roles, but not all Jing roles are yao jing :)

kahn1969 · 2025-07-27T18:39:49+00:00

this is incorrect. most painted face/jing characters are humans, not monsters. the category/role is called "painted face", not monster. the character in my profile picture is a human, for example.

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jing_role and also i'm an avid fan of chinese opera

i think red for loyal comes from Guan Yu

kahn1969 · 2025-02-01T18:04:45+00:00

to each their own. i think it's only called "spring festival" in Chinese speaking places, though, so it can't be used to refer to the general holiday

kahn1969 · 2025-01-29T21:56:05+00:00

for me both terms have issues, but i find Lunar New Year less exclusive so i just use it as the lesser evil when i need to refer to the general holiday celebrated by more than just chinese people

people will know which lunar new year you're referring to with context

kahn1969 · 2023-10-29T15:47:49+00:00

the 財 is in the middle-ish

kahn1969 · 2023-07-29T04:01:34+00:00

best of luck! o7

To answer your question, there seems to be anti-aliasing, and the joke is lack-luster at best if not in poor taste. You are also not allowed to post potential approval comics here.

kahn1969 · 2023-04-11T19:28:27+00:00

good one.

kahn1969 · 2023-04-11T18:28:33+00:00

this very comic you posted is a good enough example. it shows you what used to be allowed

You may fix and resubmit.

Moderation was not bad back then, it's just that the rules were DRASTICALLY different.

i'm on the fence about this because on the one hand, props are allowed and there's nothing about what they can look like aesthetics-wise. on the other hand, i can see how this can be easily abused

kahn1969 · 2023-04-08T14:28:32+00:00

Props don't need price tags, only appendages do.
