A mainstream Taiwanese political candidate who has cunningly chosen to drop the usual airbrushed portrait of herself beaming unconvincingly at the electorate in favour of a more up-to-date 2D moe image of herself has been attracting attention both within and without Taiwan.
44-year-old candidate Chien Yu-yan, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party (one of the two main parties in Taiwan, noted for favouring formal independence from the PRC), is seeking re-election to her seat in the Taipei municipal assembly.
As part of her electoral propaganda campaign, she has taken the rather unusual step of using an anime-styled campaign portrait alongside her regular ones, in the hopes of grubbing more votes from Taiwan’s huge contingent of Japanese culture aficionados.
Japan has been watching all this with mixed feelings:
“This is packaging fraud!”
“Do it over.”
“This is more anthropomorphisation than an actual portrait…”
“You have to draw the line somewhere – some things should not be made moe!”
“What a swindle!”
“You lot owe Taiwan an apology!”
“I think it looks more Taiwanese than moe…”
“Well, it’s all Photoshop anyway, isn’t it?:”
“What she really looks like:”
“She’s really not that bad for her age.”

As usual, the live-action version of the anime sucks.
and the 3D going 2D is always a win
2D>3D.
ALWAYS.
My 3D candidate can't be this cute!
Replace her.
Especially if the 3d looks like a trap, and not even overly convincing one...
She's damn hot for her age.
Mhmm Cougar
I was going to say she crazy, and crazy moe, but that was Annette Lu, plain old crazy. Chien is said to be one most capable of cleaning up the mess left by her party's previous reign.
So competency moe.
Pedobear said MILF? Wonder if had a daughter and what age?
i don't think her daughter must be your intended age by now, Pedo
But the daughter of her daughter may...
What do you call it when you have a 3some with the mom and daughter?
it would be called a "threesome with the mum and daughter."
agreed she looks pretty hot. i don't see what they are complaining about.
Many japanese women look hotter at that age !
@Pirate King ye, everything is better in japan isnt it weeaboo?
At 44? Hell no.
At 44 ? Hell yes. Thing only goes bad at the age of 60. As long it is below 60. They are still considerably hot. LOL
weeaboo much?
Most Young Japanese men can't handle older woman.
I've seen 45+ year olds who look like they're in their mid 20's in variety shows where they show off women who bathe their face in pig cartilage for facial rejuvenation and doing extreme amounts of exercise (for their age) and toning.
It's miraculous what some women can do. That said, this politician does look pretty good for her age. Some older women just seem content to just quickly get lazy and go straight into granny-dom.
Ara Ara.
Not too bad really, but 2D>>>>3D for sure this time.
I prefer the moe version
“What she really looks like:”
Me:"Looks at old lady in middle of the pic"
Can't unsee that behemoth...
Edit: The dude in green shirt's expression says it all...
yum. NTR doujin in 3...2...
I'd vote for her.
I'd vote for her over Ishihara.
If anything, moe is the wrong direction for her. She needs to brand herself as an age appropriate Hitozuma MILF character.
i love it how they made her nose smaller on the 2d ;]
She's actually rather pretty.
...
In her 2D form.
If she is pro otaku, she'd have my vote.
“You have to draw the line somewhere – some things should not be made moe!”
I kinda agree.....some people just takes things to far
It works...sort-of.
Pic 06 - I THOUGHT SHE WAS THE WOMAN IN THE MIDDLE x)
I think I'd want to vote for her.
It's sold candy, toys, & other stuff, now moe's gonna sell politicians too. Political ads will now become political anime. When's this lady's magical girl political ad due out?
The girl in the middle looks mighty cute.
She looks absolutely gorgeous 3D. Literally dunno what these guys are talking about.
The 3d photo that she would used are photoshopped anyway so why not just make something that would make an impact.
Proof that 2D is better right there .
2D definitely wins this time.
That's it!Shes got my vote! (if I were from Taiwan)
Yes, 2D better because it's 2D :)
She's not too bad for 44 years old.
I have seen a lot of women in their thirties who looks older than this.
Because of the cut image I will vote for her .
And I was thinking voting if a rail station should be build or not was different. Now that... politics are getting more and more ridiculous.
She's a politician.....who cares what she looks like. She could look like horse on steroids as long as she did what she gets elected for. But honestly....what politician does what they are elected for.
lol the bold guy in pic 9 is like "yeah".
Check out the baldy on pic 8. Looks boss.
The one on the left?
You mean mafia boss, right?
:-)
