I would feel mortified if all of a sudden all my sims could use chopsticks perfectly while I, a Chinese who was born and raised in China, never mastered the art of chopsticks?
Seriously tho never seen any non-Asian able to use chopsticks so I guess animation for spork is more realistic?
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.
Asian here, and we keep loads of chopsticks in a small cupboard in the kitchen, but rarely ever take them out unless it's useful for more specific dishes (i.e. potsticker dumplings which I prefer chopsticks to eat with). Most of the food we eat at home isn't even Asian though, and most of the Asian food is eaten with forks because it's honestly just more convenient. C'est la vie.
>personal opinion:
One thing though that should be mandatory to eat sushi with is chopsticks however ;)
