Ambiguous Name: Foreign Fanservice

It’s not just an attractive westerner, it’s a western character whose foreign features (either looks or culture) are emphasized in some way for fanservice (or perceived similarly in-universe).

How should the Laconic be worded to reflect that?

"White Western character in Japanese media who is played for fanservice" ?

As I explained on the last page, it has to be an East Asian setting, not East Asian media. Is it exclusively Japanese, or is it seen in e.g. Korean Manhwa and Chinese Manhua? How about "White Western character in an East Asian setting who's played for fanservice"?

No, it should be 'media' not 'setting'. There are plenty of works where its a fantasy setting but everything plays out exactly the same, to the point where they are from a foreign country even in the fantasy.

And yes it would be Japanese exclusive. This is just one stereotype used, another fanservice one is Anime Chinese Girl which is also Japanese exclusive.

Did you read my post on the last page? The page has valid examples from Animesque Western works like Katawa Shoujo and both of the webcomic examples, but I don't think works where most of the cast is Western (and not just a case of Mukokuseki), like Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, and Baccano can have examples.

Any objections, Memers (or anyone else)?

I agree. My objection was only about making sure fan service is emphasized.

Characters wicks are cleaned. 201 left to check.

As far as I can tell, all the wicks to Foreign Fanservice from Adapted Out through Manga namespaces are correct (though some might have been added since I did a cleaning).

I am reasonably sure that all 127 remaining wicks to Foreign Fanservice are correct. Can we swap in Sandbox.Foreign Fanservice?

Go right ahead.

Done.

Alright, time to call it done.
