Great drawings. I always thought of creating drawings like this but I am never that good in drawing. So I just enjoyed looking at them and watching anime.

Geez, how many talented artists are there? I guess with a population of over 1 billion, there are bound to be many…

I wish I knew the translation of what is written next to the images. Maybe something to the effect of: “will the censorship ever end?”

So interesting to see the Chinese people creating content that would be censored, in response to censorship. I can’t imagine how annoying it would be to know that the government was choosing what I was allowed to see or not see on the internet.

I love seeing all the different versions of the same character. It goes to show the nuances of animation, and how many different interpretations are possible from one image.

I agree with Lamont.. the process is fascinating and the finished product could be hung

I love seeing how a sketch becomes a finished colourful product. It gives me some insight into how the characters are initially drawn, before the layers of paint are applied.

Looks like a classical rebellion to a entrenched hierarchy. Kind of like a Betty Boop character or maybe even V for Vandetta…. you go girl!

I don’t know about the politics of this type of art, but the use of colors is pretty fascinating to me. And “The big brother is watching you”… truer words were never spoken.

Who thinks this is a logical way to do this? Some of those characters don’t seem like they would? Am I missing something?

In what terms was spoofing used? I see alot of those characters around the city when I travel. Do they mean something different if there colors are different?

The latest onslaught on a government policy that everyone from nationalist Chinese netizens to foreign journalists derides as absurd.

At least half of them look like a Hatsune Miku ripoff.

I don't see how spoofing annoying faulty security software with female objectification & perversion is supposed to be effective, funny, or in any way logical. If Green Dam is something stupid that doesn't work right, it should be a teenaged boy.

The "å¨˜ (niÃ¡ng)â€œ here is more vulgar and negative.

as a Chinese,i cannot agree with you...
the single word "å¨˜ (niÃ¡ng)â€œ in Chinese means mother
and the "XXå¨˜" is not a normative Chinese expression,it's a Japanese expression
the å¨˜ after XXå¨˜ just means girl or female...there is not any vulgar or negative information with the word å¨˜....

Hi RX-68, thank you very much for your input. I have fine-turned the title based on your comment.

By the way, I believe the original “OTAKU girl” is more pure, but the “Green Dam girl” is not just for fun. It is more about spoof + abuse. Its Chinese name is “ç»¿åå¨˜ (lÇœ bÃ niÃ¡ng)â€œ. The “å¨˜ (niÃ¡ng)â€œ here is more vulgar and negative.

Please do not call it “bitch”, the Green Dam Girl is just a character designed for fun,not to abuse.See,the government tries to take sth serious and netizens do the opponent one—-they transfer the stupid software into a cute Japanese style cartoon girl~~~just to entertain each other.
She is borned in the OTAKU culture-and the fans of Green Dam girl are also intrested in animations.especially Japanese cartoons,
So I hope that the title can be changed~~~
Now i would like to translate the words on the pictures
P1: I am an Alpaca only
P3 am the prince with 40.000.000yuans and I hate such dirty informations.I am an Alpaca only…
P5 My favorite informations(the Green Dam tries to fliter) are not allowed to be viewed by common people.
P7 How can I allow you to get such informations?
P8 I will delete them all!!!! you HENTAI
P9 Power 40,000,000YUANS
P10 I hate DIABLO most…I will delete such violent games all!!
P15 Green is a bad girl…I know everything about the informations..so boy don not stop…
………..
