pail Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 You know, where they pull one of their eyelids down and stick their tongue out? Does that particular expression have a proper name? Is it just a Nipponese thing? What is the cultural context of that and why did it disappear not too long after anime started to become really popular with Western audiences? Is it making fun of Westerners and their big round eyes? Is round eye a slur for Westerners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnmjy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I asked my jappy mother and she said it's called akanbe. She's in a pissy mood where she doesn't feel like talking, and she hasn't watched any anime since the 80s, so there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
