I also posted this in /a/, but it might be better here. I don't have any pictures of it, but it's something I've been wondering about. I've been googling for hours, but the terms are kind of ambiguous so I'm not getting anywhere.

What does it mean when a character has crosses/plus signs for eyes? (A vertical and horizontal line. NOT an X)

I've seen it a lot in Ganbare Goemon games, and in other anime, usually on a background character dressed traditionally japanese, or playing a shamisen or something.

Is there some cultural significance? Is this an expression, or a bunch of coincidences?

Secret christian propaganda from Rome, this is another good example of such propaganda.

Why did you go to /a/?
/a/ has become total shit.

Where else would I ask?
Incidentally, /a/ has been more helpful and speculative on this question than /jp/.

/a/ is better than /jp/ for any kind of discussion that's not 3d. prove me wrong~!

OP it's a throwback to old school mango style.

Why do Western characters have circular or oval eyes? Is this indicative of their fascination with penises, which are round or oval when viewed head-on?
