Yeah but… that still doesn’t answer what the actual intention of a pose like that is. Like, for the make-up to showcase the nice lines and flow of it, OK. But for Swatch? It’s dark and you have to squint, like what is that even for?
Who cares? It’s an ad campaign, and they take lots of photos. They pick out ones that are appealing aesthetically. I have never seen anyone pull up the corners of their eyes like that to imitate or make fun of Chinese people. If that’s what they were going for, they did it wrong.
Downvoters, please go look in a mirror and make the slanted-eye racist gesture. Do you push your fingers up to make creases or do you pull them straight back?

Screenshot of a photo in the ad campaign for reference.
It’s a watch company. What do eyes (Asian or otherwise) have to do with their product?
are you trying to be logical about an advertisement?

same thing i guess?
maybe just striking a weird pose to get attention to the watch just below? we’ll never know
there’s another article i read about weibos being unhappy about a chinese woman who made a photo of a chinese woman with small eyes
sounds like twitter controversy to me
So you don’t think either ad is racist. Got it.
Why did you reply here? To convince us that the ad really isn’t that bad?
