What is it with Japan and giving female characters eyepatches? The only western thing I've seen that had a woman with an eyepatch was Kill Bill
The medical ones are silly, but everyone loves a motherfucking pirate.
An eyepatch suggests one of two things
>I am weak and vulnerable
this is what Riika has going for her, it helps the moe because you want to protect her.
but more commonly
>I am a badass who has seen enough action to lose a goddamn eye and still not give up being a badass
almost exclusively the realm of Men in the west, because they don't understand that badass women can be super sexy. Every time they make a "badass action heroine" they get confused and make her ugly. see: Alien, Fury Road, etc.
But the based Jappos know what's up. And Quentin Tarantino, being a colossal weeaboo, knows what is up as well.
I'm okay with it because I have a bandage fetish
I was under the impression that Asians wear shit like that because they polluted their country so much it was dangerous not to protect their orfices

Other than the butch cut, Velasquez isn't horribly ugly. That said, the problem with badass women in Western media isn't that they're ugly. The problem is how that badassery is executed.
Women in western media are always badass to measure up to men, to prove that they're badass. As such, they always have this "strong independent womyn" vibe, a vibe that is not only unappealing to young men (gee, I wonder why a woman who acts like men aren't needed don't appeal to young men!), but it also completely destroys her character (in as far as it exists) once she swoons for the male protagonist.
Compare badasses in anime, who don't fit in such a mold. Most of them aren't badass for a reason, they're just heroines. As such they're allowed to hate men, but they're also allowed to love men. They're allowed to be sexy, they're allowed to be playful and they're even allowed to have moments of weakness without it breaking their whole character. As counterintuitive as it sounds, Chinese cartoons write more enjoyable female characters than American live action films, even though the former are supposedly for children and the latter supposedly for adults.
Other than that, your post is spot on.

Isn't that mostly China? I think pollution in Japan isn't all that worse than Murika or western Europe.

That doesn't really have to do with pollution....
>ITT gaijins not getting it
they're actually face masks but as expected women are too stupid to put them on
They all have river blindness cause of the backwater quality of the stories they are in.
