The Asian one makes no sense.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the final one is the symbol for "five" and it takes 5 strokes to draw. it'd be like drawing a 5 one segment at a time in an eight segment number display as the tally marks.

You are wrong. This is the character for "correct". "Five" is similar. Both have five strokes.

五 = five

正 = correct, positive

I still don’t like it. It’s not a logical placement of strokes. No I don’t care that the Kanji ultimately means ‘5’.

I don’t like it. It’s aesthetically displeasing with no logic.

It’s only aesthetically displeasing to you because you come from a western background. For someone used to say mandarin it is quite aesthetically pleasing. The final bottom stroke “closes” the set in a satisfying way that is consistent Chinese character stroke order.

Some things are culturally relative. Aesthetics is one of those things.

I understand that, But they’re still wrong.

The world is a wonderful and diverse place. Looking at your comment history I see some slurs that, to me at least, hint that you are a younger person.

My main advice to have empathy, be accepting and realize that many people live their own lives most of which are very different than yours.

People can learn, change, and live unique and meaningful lives. :)

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
