Brazil and the Philippines are often seen as the “black sheep” of their continents. Like most of Latin America, the Philippines was colonized by Spain for centuries, which is a unique experience for them to have within Asia. This makes the Philippines not only “different” within Asia, but have more similarities with Latino culture than most Asian countries.

Brazil on the other hand is by far the most Asian country in Latin America, as there are millions of Brazilians today of Asian descent due to a large migration from Japan and China in the early 20th century. Asian culture is quite embedded into Brazilian culture, and Brazil is actually home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan.

The Philippines is the most Latino Asian country. Brazil is the most Asian Latino country.

Brazil is also rather isolated from the rest of Latin America due to us being the only Portuguese speaking country, while the vast majority of other Latinos speak Spanish. From what I’ve gathered, Filipinos also feel isolated within Asia.

Also, Brazil and the Philippines both have extremely vibrant, albeit chaotic gay culture. Gay people in Brazil dominate dodgeball, while Filipino gays dominate volleyball. Gay fandom culture in Brazil and the Philippines are both absolutely feral. Both countries seem to produce endless amounts of funny gay people.

Let me introduce you to her.

Ghosty was made out of my love for Yo-kai Watch and other takes on general japanese mythology (ohi Okami), and her concept is generally done as a deliberate defiance of how Ghosts are generally used as either "edgy" or "scary" fodder.

Youkai aren't necessarely evil (don't get me wrong, a lot of them are very dangerous), but some are even downright doofy or even helpful spirits! Ghosty was made as a cute take on the Yuki-onna concept instead of merely just trying to make a stock default bedsheet ghost or a grim reaper disguised as a ghost.

I'm honestly surprised she got as popular as she did. Thanks to the efforts of the MaGMML3 devs she now haunts the halls of the contest, if you meet her she may spook ya, but she'll geninuely cheer you on in the challenges ahead at the festival!
