I'm thinking... if I ever get around to writing any stories, I might deliberately duplicate faults of a genre...
For instance, when duplicating a non-Japanese genre, I might deliberately name a character who is supposed to be Japanese "Yue Akuma" to joke about the ignorance the average American has about Japan. (Yue being a morbid name given to babies who didn't live long enough to get a name, and Akuma not only being the word for "devil" but also being a forbidden name.)
Or if I'm copying the formula of a Japanese entertainment genre, I might name an American "Raymond Luxury Yacht", in parody of non-Japanese people having odd names in Japanese entertainment.
Or if it's a story set in the era of and based off of entertainment made when blackface was not only not considered offensive in America but even a common sight, I might put in a blackface character or two.
In other words, I would be taking the faults and deliberately using them, and acting like those things would be perfectly normal... like there was nothing odd about them whatsoever.
