The Cheesecake Bakery
- Thread starter tec
- Start date
This is perhaps more of a strawberry tart or a parfait than cheesecake as such. But the Tube of You told me of this channel, and it seems worth sharing. What do you think?
I don't know who the white haired one is, must be from one of the newer games, the redheads are cute though lol
My Japanese girlfriend hates girls like her. There was a woman at the local AU mobile phone shop that spoke like her and my missus wasn't impressed. The video lass also could spell "praying"...
Apart from that, I'm sure the video was great...
Did your GF use the term ぶりっこ "burikko"? Slang for overly cutesy girls, typically putting up a front to appeal to people (usually men). Unsure if it's even still in use these days.
...voice actors? Youtube personalities?
Ah. Still I am learning, but that's to be expected.
Anyway, it turns out that Mairi/Miley has a response of sorts to that label....
If you jump to the 15:40 mark, there's some real artistry and showmanship on display at one of the stalls our guide visits.
She didn't but my first Japanese girlfriend properly did. The woman at the AU shop was REALLY high, like Chip & Dale level. I pointed out that even minor feminine "keigo" (football, polite and highly pitched Japanese) can be seen the same way by some foreigners (like grumpy old me).
Anyone, especially in real life. She doesn't usually state anything like that as she's a nice person (unlike me) so to hear her complain about the AU woman was surprising....voice actors? Youtube personalities?
I like a bit of kawaii as much as the next person, but I can't deal with the overly fake style.
Still, that's rather peeing on the parade in a cheesecake thread, non?

I might be the wrong person to ask about that.
I mean, I legitimately like things such as onsenmanjukun or TootyMcNooty's "phrog" animations....
...but at the same time, my first major contribution to this thread involved swimsuit wearing cosplayers getting into a water balloon fight... that ended when one of them hacked the minds of the others. And I keep trying to get tec to acknowledge the ladies of the Literature Club, who both embody and deconstruct a fair number of stock tropes involving Japanese culture (at least as weebs perceive it)....
Oh, and then, of course, there's Katawa Shoujo, which takes young ladies that normally wouldn't be included in visual novels and says "These are also worthy of affection...."

It can be a fine line between yasashi-sa and a Stepford Smile.
Sometimes I explore that line, sometimes I think this aphorism is true: 日本人じゃないと仕方ない。
This thread may not be the best locale to go on at length about such things, though. Much as I sometimes enjoy subverting the original premise, as above.
I just saw a girl like that on last night's train from work!
Obviously, I didn't take a picture.
