NAYRT If that’s the way you feel about it then yeah, I guess they are. It’s no secret that there’s a massive obsession for East Asian culture, especially among anime enthusiasts. Not ALL of them but… a lot. I’ve known many people who watch anime and I’d say a large number of them have decided that "Asian" is their new favorite way of life, to the point of learning Japanese and similar. And tbh, Wind flight aesthetics on FR takes big inspo from those cultures, so that right there should show you how prevalent it is… whether it should be considered fetishization or just flattery is subjective.
