X-shaped curvature of the legs. That's nothing a surgery can't solve.

Megaman and Steve Ballmer are the opposite of kawaii. . . iiamax

 

[MiszMasz]

Or a sonic fan.

Was gonna say, first place i remember it standing out to me was Gotta Go Fast Adventure.

 

[wildfire]

Street Fighter exclusive to Sony, Megaman exclusive to Microsoft confirmed.

 

[Xe4]

Looks painful. But I walk duck-toed naturally so I could never imagine standing like that.

Men in anime do the "airplane run" instead:

god i had a friend in middle school who ran like this whenever we played football...

"it makes me run faster!".... -_-

The fastest.

I'm pretty damn sure that type of run is to cut down on animations.

lol no, watch old live action kung fu and ninja flicks, they run like that to. It's a ninja thing, so in the dark when you see the outline of someone running with their arms back you knows it a ninja and if they're doing the graceful wirefu thing leaping from branch to branch or rooftop to rooftop you know its a wushu swordsman, and running along the side or up and down walls is a shaolin monk.

 

[Htown]

Its cute.
requires no explanation!

Agreed.

I think thats kinda cute.

it took me half a second to realize the relation, and then I lol'd to death.

It's archetypal diminutive posture. It has no Japanese origin, it's just that it hasn't fallen out of fashion in their art yet.

Hey pal get your facts our of here, jump to crappy conclusions like everyone else does.

 

[michaelius]

I noticed young women doing that in Japan, sometimes in pretty high heels, and exceedingly often when sitting on the train. Asked an elderly boutique owner I used to talk to whether that was something borrowed from older times, walking in a kimono and the likes, and as far as she knew it was just some fairly recent fad and walking like that wasn't anything traditional.

It's part of current fad for cute/kawaii culture.

No one will ever love you in if your nipples aren’t pink.

But seriously, pink nipples is a sign for “purity and youth” in Japan. It has gotten so bad that Japanese girls are becoming super insecure if they don’t have pink nipples. Basically, the less sexual experience a woman has, the more a guy will like them. Apparently having pink nipples means you're forever a pure virgin.

If a girl has pink nipples, she’s kirei (clean & pure). They might say otherwise, but if you ask them anonymously, they’ll confess their love and preference for pink nipples.

Some girls go really far for better self esteem. They get surgery to turn their nipples pink, buy expensive cream/products that “magically” turn their nipples pink. Even some of them are referred to as something like “natural nipple colour cream”.

This is also why brown skinned anime girls are drawn to have pink nipples. It’s not a recent trend either, it’s been around forever.

Damn...well, thanks!

Now men's pose:

 

[SYNTAX182]

Its just an exaggeration for an artist to give more movement to a static pose.

Code Geass had nudity?

 

[WorriedCitizen]

Maybe they just have really small bladders or chronic urinary tract infection.

I'm scared.

 

[Jezan]

It's one of those postures/gestures that they do to appear all kawaii and shit.

Another one is this way of running:

A girl friend of mine runs like that. But she loves them stereotypes (but she will never accept it)

I'd never heard of the pink nipple thing until I dated a Korean girl. She apologized that hers aren't pink, I said wtf why would they be pink, you're Asian, and she said they're pink until you lose your virginity, then they turn brown.

To be fair, Koreans also believe that leaving an electronic fan on overnight will kill you.

I love this run. It's so crazy. I assume it's because the characters run so unnaturally fast the upper body cant keep up.

fan death is a real thing

my exgf's mom (first generation canadian) told her drinking chicken noodle soup when you are sick would kill you too.

This never ceases to crack me up since I leave a fan on at night year around because the noise helps me sleep. At least its not harmful like anti vaccine shit or something.

Fan death isn't real, dude. It's an urban legend that only Koreans believe.

That's the universal ninja run. No gender restrictions

 

[Rell]

I remember way more than one person running like this during middle school.

It was like a natural evolution of the "lean forward and secure backpack straps" run.

Really? That's a new one, I've never actually heard of that before lol. Then again, I don't live in Korea anymore but I imagine if it's such a wide spread belief like you say it is it would have carried over like the rest of our beliefs. I'm thinking it's another baffling belief some people hold or it's a lie made up to save on power bills, both just as believable.
