I was just wondering if there were any Chinese on the forum or other Asians to give their two cents... or if it was all white people whining about cultural appropriation and insensitivity (as always) lol

Am I like the only non-Asian here who hasn't seen the use of chopsticks outside of a Japanese restaurant? My best friend is from Hong Kong and have eaten with her family and its always been with forks. I was told the chopsticks come out for special occasions. My bestie taught me how to eat my ramen soup with a fork even lol! Her mom was like "chopsticks? we ain't got time for that!" Anyways...

I'm really excited to have new food options in the game, thank you guru team! Idc how my sims eat it, but in my opinion, most of them don't have the finesse to handle multiple forms of utensils anyway.

I am not Asian but I do know people (also non-Asian, oddly enough) that use chopsticks outside of restaurants. I mainly use chopsticks for sushi, at home or in a restaurant; I don't use my hands because that will get messy fast lol, and I don't want to use a fork because sometimes that just makes the sushi fall apart... also resulting in a mess! Chopsticks are the perfect utensil in-between ;)

That said, I am not by any means good at using chopsticks, for sushi or anything else really. I have not yet earned the Chopstick Savvy trait IRL lol.

And just to bring it back on topic - the animation of eating the dumplings is soo minor. While they don't fumble with chopsticks, they do pick them up real cute and shove 'em in their mouths and chomp about for a bit, they look like hamsters. It's cute lol. I don't think it's about the animation's "accuracy," but that this is a new, ethnic food that is available for everyone! Which is fantastic!
