One thing I’ve noticed from all these retweets is that a lot of non-Asians seem to think that Asians look like anime characters.
Those images are apparently not Photoshops, but (supposedly) actual photographs of some Chinese girl who calls herself KOKO and uses makeup to make herself look like a shoujo manga character. As a lifelong skeptic, I would have naturally doubted the pictures’ authenticity were it not for a couple videos that you can view at some site called RocketNews24, which seem to confirm that yes, she looks like a total freak in motion too.
There are also more pictures at that site, but, you know, I spent as little time looking at it as I could. It took me half an hour to realize that the obnoxious noise I was hearing was the sound of my own screams.
Lots of good twits this week. Enjoy.
This bloke seems like a typical delightfully dweeby dork, until he starts rambling about how he empathizes with the main character of Urusei Yatsura or whatever. Thanks to @vyabsley for the tip!

Man proves replica swords not entirely useless

This chap used his “replica anime sword” from Bleach to frighten a burglar from his home, validating the horrible purchases and life decisions of hundreds of fatter, less fit anime sword collectors the world over. Thank you, Mr. Terrey. You are an inspiration to us all.
There’s a video at the full story.
Happy new year, everyone.
