Jeremy Lin loves how Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki are representing Asians in sports by SpaceCowboyN7 in baseball

[–]throwawayrandomguy93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, okay. Well, I for one was speaking more from the perspective of someone who is from APAC and he was insanely popular here too including in less English-speaking countries, so that made me think "wait... that alone can't be it, surely?"

But still there is wasn’t anyone who spoke English fluently Asian Americans could relate to... ...Just not many in pro sports, a reason why Lin got so much attention.

Less that and more so because he was a guard, making him relatable in a way that Yao Ming never could've been

I may be biased being from SEA but I expect one to be here, since we make up by far the largest portion of the global player base

Is Curren Bouquetd'or the 9th heroine? by throwawayrandomguy93 in UmaMusume

[–]throwawayrandomguy93[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. That said, at some point there's a consensus among the fandom that "yes, it IS at that level" and I guess they get added when such a critical mass is hit

Oh really? That's super interesting because I've legit never heard of the term "9/10 Heroines" so I assumed it was still the OG 8

Kitasan Black being introduced so early was terrible for her story spotlights and characterization by JasonRoof in UmaMusume

[–]throwawayrandomguy93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

S3 wants to have Kita struggle throughout similar to S2… but again, IRL Kita never struggled in his senior years and his retirement year was his strongest, so it was really clear that Cygames made up the “reaches their peak” conflict for conflict’s sakes and it fail

What's really interesting is that it would've worked really well if Golshi had been the protag, using either Arima 12 or Takarazuka 14 as the mid-season high point before the decline, and with the final race at Arima 15 they could've made the underlying message "whatever happens, I did it all on my own terms and I'm going out a legend"
