Dont get why they make the people from my homeland as if they were some bandits, like wtf.

@Herrgast I get you. Nobody likes to be on the receiving end of a stereotype. But alas, that's how pop culture is: catering to the main audience, and going all in on confirmation bias to please the crowds.

If you're talking about the Russians, Russia is portrayed as either a failed communist backwater state, or as a free-for-all basket case after the Iron Curtain collapse, teeming with all sorts of criminals and lowlives.

If it's the US, they're portrayed as heartless, inflexible, power-crazy, trigger-happy warmongers in many Japanese manga (the ones that aren't going with the "US is the the best!" routine).

I also remember reading an Indonesian webtoon in which a Japanese scientist was depicted as a cold-hearted man who cared nothing about his daughter's death so long as he could control some alien technology.

And let's not even begin on how Latin Americans, or even South Europeans like Spaniards and Italians, are depicted.

This is so acute that when a webtoon author decided to defy stereotypes and make a black character the King of a fantasy world, and a clever one at that, surrounded by greedy white nobles, some commenters couldn't disguise their shock.

Such is life, alas.

@Kendama actually i was talking about chechnya.

Chechnya is a prideful Nation and have honor, that you wont see in much people in the world. And no, chechens are not russians. The way the world tries to represent us is very disrespectfull. I didnt see one reference to chechens in any comic or movie or whatever that shows these qualities. Ofc you can say that the russia-chechen war made chechens to bandits, but they are outcasts of our nation and ofc you can follow the stereotypes and say thet the russia was the good one in the war between them and chechens( wich is obviously wrong, in the whole russian-chechen history the russians try to genocide our nation, we were an obstacle between the zar rusaia and the osman empire). Its just very sad to see how people often represent ua as bandits. Mostly people from chechnya who are like this arent true chechens and they smear our face in the mud.

But i get what you mean.

Its kinda funny.
