@Eustass90 Law NOT ASIAN JUST MANHUA SH** LOGIC
@SIDRA it's an Asian mindset that in manhuas, manwhas & mangas it is taken to the extreme of fanaticism
@Eustass90 Law If you think that the logic seen in manhua, manhwa, or manga directly represents the Asian mindset, then I’m truly sorry—but believe me, that’s not even 10% true. Yes, there may be some influence, but nowhere near as much as people assume.
We should never allow our thinking or worldview to be shaped purely by TV shows, comics, anime, dramas, or pop culture.
I’ve seen many people praising Japan simply because they read manga or watch anime.
The same happens with Korea, where people assume the country is just like K-dramas or K-pop.
And it also happens with China—people admire it online because it’s a manufacturing hub or an emerging superpower and then develop a positive image without understanding reality.
But when people actually go there, they realize the truth.
For example, in China, foreigners are under heavy surveillance. If you say something wrong about the country—whether while living there or even something you said online in the past—you can get into serious trouble. That reality never shows up in comics, dramas, or promotional content.
So you should never judge a country or its people based only on what you see online, in anime, dramas, or comics.
Most of these things are heavily influenced by business interests, corporations, and powerful people who pay to shape narratives—whether through entertainment, news, or media—to present an image of the world that benefits them.
What you see is not reality.
It’s packaged perception.

@Eustass90 Law And for your kind knowledge, even after reading all this—if you still think this represents the Asian mindset, then let me be very clear:
Asia is not just Japan, Korea, and China.
There are many countries in Asia with completely different cultures, histories, political systems, and ways of thinking. The countries people usually point to—Japan, South Korea, and China—are only part of East Asia, not the whole continent.
South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and other regions of Asia have entirely different realities and mindsets. Grouping all of Asia under one narrative based on a few East Asian countries is not just inaccurate—it’s ignorant.
So no, the logic seen in manga, manhwa, or manhua does not represent “Asia.”
At best, it reflects specific industries from specific regions, shaped by market demands and business interests, not an entire continent.

@SIDRA i get your points, when i say "Asia", i mean East Asia, but listing everytimes which country i'm talking about will take too much time and get boring
@SIDRA U may be correct but Isn't it just more apparent in Asian Media or culture that conformity, none individualistic ideas take place There
No wonder power fantasy is the most popular genre It serves as a way Fri many Koreans to feel like they Are Themselves Not just a pack of the Group but Haveg their own lives and Worth
