peterpitzpatpripck-deactivated2 asked: what is fetish porn? is all porn that features asian women automatically fetish porn? just because you find asian women attractive doesn't mean you have a fetish. . . (i feel like you've probablu heard that before)

nicksmedulla asked: I think your blog is amazing (why I read back so far) but I saw your Penn State comic, and it hurt to read. I think Penn State, if anything, hasn't gone far enough to hold those responsible accountable for the tragedy, but I still have to deal with people holding me in contempt, just because I went to school here. 0.25% of PSU students "rioted" and most of us are as pissed of as the...
haunterr asked: no, Rihanna's outfit wasn't Japanese Geisha-styled, or a kimono, either... it had geisha hair, but other than that, it wasn't japanese... hmm. maybe they just took influences from all of Asia? :/ hard telling, honestly. but. it wasn't specifically "Geisha" style.
optimistic-red-velvet-walrus asked: re: Princess of China; I'm not criticizing anyone specific, but I've noticed that people hyperfocus on Rihanna even though it's also Coldplay's song, even though the song itself is already iffy (like it's new for white men to fantasize about Asian women), even though Martin dresses up as a ninja. I think Rihanna is already an easy target for people as a WOC pop artist. If...
papoilasomniferum asked: I'm pretty sure Rihanna was dressed in typical Japanese clothing for the Princess of China video, too... Not only the video was fetishizing asian culture, but they got it wrong. Geishas aren't chinese. I kind of used your ask as a soapbox lol, sorry.
atomic-glitter asked: back to the Princess of China music video...I love Coldplay, but that music video was just awful, cheesey, and clumped a bunch of asian cultures together with the whole "flying in midair western ninja action scene." I was hoping for a great and whimsical music video that respected and was accurate on the chinese culture, but it turned out horrible. I was wondering if you found it to be a...

a bit of housekeeping
hi guys,
I’ve collected some of the best of my work in a separate page on the main blog called Comics Collective so you can read through straight without wading through notes, messages, doodles and illustrations.
clicking on each comic will take you to the page if you’d like to see it in larger format with my comments (:
cheers!

jintor asked: Hey Wendy, love your work. Just wondering about your art process - is it just inks + watercolour shading (?) scanned in and cleaned up, or do you draw digitally directly? Is there a prior sketch process or do you just ink right off the bat? Cheers.

goodtimequesting asked: Do you think that the sort of sexualization that occurs in, um, pornographic videos creates stereotypes of women?
moonboyforalliknow asked: in response to the ask earlier about the thing with the hands in princess of china: it's a portrayal of the bodhisattva guan yin who is a particularly important figure in chinese buddhism. also the most famous version of the dance (called the thousand hand bodhisattva dance) was choreographed by a chinese guy in china to be performed by deaf kids. so technically it is a chinese thing, but at...
cheesejam asked: Hello ma'am. I was curious about this Princess of China video that you mentioned, so i checked it out. I just wanted to ask if the many-hands thing also concerns Chinese folklore, but from what I've searched it's not? Ir are they just doing the Shiva thing because 'hey let's lump all Asian cultures it's not like there's ay difference'? Then there's that...

I forgot to mention under the other question Dita von Teese’s “Opium Den” performance can we say BLATANT YELLOWFACE three times fast? And Rhianna’s Asian fapfest of her latest music video “Princess of China” or some such bullshit like holy crap it was so offensive. I…
Word up.
Fuck Coldplay, I never liked their shit.
I forgot to mention under the other question Dita von Teese’s “Opium Den” performance can we say BLATANT YELLOWFACE three times fast? And Rhianna’s Asian fapfest of her latest music video “Princess of China” or some such bullshit like holy crap it was so offensive. I absolutely love her other music but that video was shit.
comicallyvariant-deactivated201 asked: So I agree with you that the Karate Kid remake was awesome overall, but what are your thoughts on the title? You know, seeing as karate is a Japanese martial arts form and Jaden Smith is in China and learning Kung fu.
fodra asked: Barbara Adler is one of my favourite slam poets! These days she's more spoken-word, but she's fantastic and performs with a few other artists (notably Brendan McLeod).
aprikoosi asked: I love your work!!! I also wanted to thank you for mentioning “I was born with two tongues” in one of your posts. I'm unfamiliar with slam poetry but I've been able to find some of their recordings online. It made me cry! They're amazing. Could you please recommend more slam poets?
iansaint asked: What piece of media do you think that most people see as "good" or "important" for Asian Culture (which isn't really a thing except that a lot of people think it is, so they kinda made it one) that is actually super racist and awful and teaches only horrible stereotypes?
