  In the book snowcraah by Neil Stephenson the main character is named “Hiro Protagonist”. Yes it’s a real book, and one of my favorites, by a real author.

    I like it, as a person who doesn’t really pay attention to most names in fiction, and primarily focuses on the story it’s trying to tell.

    Don’t make it too obvious like “Busty LoveInterest” and “Villain McMustashface”.

      If you like techno-fantasy I highly recommend snowcrash. For years I’ve wanted a game of the first chapter, basically a guy is delivering pizza but gas is really expensive so all he has is a skateboard and a harpoon gun with an electromagnet. He basically shoots the harpoon at cars and gave them pull him towards the destination, it sounds like a cool video game like a race but you don’t control speed only which car you are connected to.

      Don’t worry that didn’t spoil anything. The book goes into a totally different direction with technology and science.

    The difference is that’s trying to be stupid and funny. Rowling is just, I don’t know, lazy, or uncreative, or racist. One, or multiple, of those at least.

      It’s not a direct connection to Rowling but I was just pointing out another example.

      Sorry, it’s snowcrash and I corrected the original comment.

    Snowcrash is a satire. That name is supposed to be funny

      Could be, I may be wrong but still an awesome book

    The protagonist from one of the mortal Kombat was Shujinko. Which means protagonist.

    source

    • tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I just looked that up and it says Shujinko was fooled by someone named Damashi, which means trick.

    Fantastic book, line a comics but in text.

    He also invented “the metaverse” that moron zuckerberg just stole, poured billions into just to get legs to the avatars.

    BTW The Diamond Age and Cryptonomicon are masterpieces too IMO.

    I bought this book minutes before reading this comment. The AI-captured advernet is here, and they have played me like a fiddle

    source

    • vrek@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Nope, I’m not an Ai advert. I read the book and still have it. I hope you like the book. I also recommend a diamond age, also known as a primer for young girls.

  I mean, this is one where you don’t have to make up an example.The only Asian character in the books is named Cho Chang.

  source

  • BigDiction@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    And the movie portrayal was character assassination implying she was the one who ratted out Dumbledore’s Army.

    source

    • VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Fuck I forgot about that. Those movies kinda suck ass past the first two.

      Wasn’t she possessed or something and that was the reason she ratted out Dumbledore’s Army?

    That’s the joke.

    • VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The joke is that JK Rowling names her characters offensively.

      Image

      I’ve seen this done before with multiple non-existent examples.

      Image

      My point is that JK Rowling already named an Asian character offensively. She also has an Irish kid named Seamus that loves blowing stuff up, and a black man named Shacklebolt.

      All I’m saying is the joke is now distracting from the source, because there is a real example of using her naming conventions on Asian characters.
