"We are the Swede. Representation is demanded beep boop."ou know what I want to see more in these Sci Fi shows? German officers. We've seen the gambit from Russians (hell, in Babylon 5 the Second in Command -Susan Ivanova- is a Russian Jew, and if you know your Russian history... that is usually a death sentence) to Americans to British to Frenchmen, yet I haven't seen a single German officer. The Prussian Efficiency mixed with the PARTY HARD of the southern German states. The sort of man who would not only love opera but also HEAVY METAL, that sort of thing.
"We are the Swede. Representation is demanded beep boop."
"We are Swiss." *awkward silence disturbed only by precision mechanical watch ticking*
*Brazilian enters through door and dances across the room to exit though the other door*
And, well, aboriginal peoples could use some more love beyond "we am of the land, fear our magic".
Frankly, most places are real low on representation. Even the white representation tends to focus on only Britain, Germany, France, Russia, and a bit of Italy. There may be a Spaniard in there somewhere. Like, when was the last time you saw a Portuguese in SF? Hungarian? Croatian?VampireRomanian? And that's just the one continent where you can easily pull from the gigantic acting pool of white people.
I want to see more Indonesian representation myself.
Hell, nevermind Indonesian. I can't remember of seeing South East Asian representation or reference in any western SF. Well, okay, come to think of it, there's Starship Tropper's Rico. He's Fiflipino in the novel if I remember correctly.
Jakarta mentioned once in Code Geass and there's a space colony named after Bangkok's another name in Gundam 00.
That's about it that I can remember.
When 'Asian' got represented it always East Asian, sometimes Indian.
does Indonesia have its own anime?Currently reading Seikai no Monshou/Crest of the Stars. The story is good, but the translation is indeed rather bad like some people said
Depends what you call an anime.does Indonesia have its own anime?
Depends what you call an anime.
If anime is specifically a Japanese animation done in certain style and following a certain tropes, then Indonesia can't have its own anime because they aren't Japanese and it's actually creators' nationality what matters.
Maybe, Maybe not. I don't remember.does Indonesia have its own anime?
Haha in a deiselpunk/fantasy setting I'm working on one of the great power is an expy of the Mataram empire. Although I still struggle to came up with a name so I just calls them "The Equatorial Federation", federation because it's an EU esque alliance made up of SEA countries.I want to see more Indonesian representation myself.
