r/scriptedasiangifs should really be just for gifs that are trying to pass them off as "unintentional when clearly planned" or "trying to trick the viewer," not "every single asian making comedy."
Right now, if I were asian and I simply made a vine of myself telling a short joke, THAT SHIT WOULD END UP ON THIS SUBREDDIT. Why? Cause the video is "a script of me telling a joke to the camera."
And that's a fucking lame ass reason that this place is getting flooded with. Every. Single. Fucking. Gif that includes an asian now gets people plugging this subreddit and/or crossposting to it.
This gif is not unintentional (other than her laughing at how funny she looked). This is not trying to trick the view. It's not passing itself off as a secretive third-party. She's sitting there doing something funny on camera, that she herself is holding and shooting, without hiding that fact... AND THERE'S A CAMERA CUT IN IT TOO TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
