In general I’m not reading manga/wha/hua or comics for representation, but if we’re going to see characters that are not natives of the comic’s country of origin, then I’d like to see more Hispanics (mainly or especially Mexicans that are not stereotypes). I think the option “North America” needed to have the exception “except the US” because besides Asians, Europeans (mostly Brits or Germans) the most common other characters are American. Because North America implies the US as well, some people might not have voted for North America even if they’d like to see more Canadians or Mexicans. 412714

Why are West Africa, Central Africa, and East Africa left out? These are among the least represented regions in manga and anime so this is kind of silly when a region with as few people as Antarctica was allowed as an option, and regions that are pretty well represented like Western Europe are also allowed.

Just in case there's any confusion on what North Africa and South Africa refers to, South Africa is just the one country at the bottom of the continent. North Africa typically includes Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. By excluding the rest of Africa, almost 50 countries aren't ed for.

Was this for the sake of space? Antarctica could've been left out since there's no indigenous people, it's just researchers from other regions. The Middle East and North Africa could've been combined as per common practice (MENA).

And yes, I made this just to complain about this poll.
