Now, it seems to me that an analogous portrayal of Shampoo is possible, using
comedy stereotypes of Chinese/Asians attempting to speak English, e.g.,
mixing up R's and L's, referring to everyone as "honorable," saying "Ah so"
all the time.  The question then arises, would use of these stereotypes in fan
fiction be offensive?  Probably.  But why doesn't the "baby-talk" imposed on
Shampoo by Viz and fanfic authors offend?

Because it isn't a generic stereotype.  Although I am waiting
for the Ranma/Marvel fusion.  Shampoo SMASH puny girl!
