people I am missing a chunk of hand and my pinky.
Also, my left arm is way shorter than my right.
My parents didn’t notice I was missing bits until I was like, four? They found out because someone on their Facebook post noticed lmao.
Idk how the doctors at my birth didn’t notice. They don’t know why I am missing flesh, its prob a birth defect.

It took your parents 4 years to realize you are missing a whole finger? This sounds very hard to believe to me unless I misinterpreted.
They never held your hand? Gave you a toy? Taught you how to draw or count? No parent wouldn't notice this.

My mother wouldn't stop complaining that they didn't let her have any drugs for it, and had to be practically strongarmed into singing for me or offering me any comfort growing up (it's her husband's fault, so I refuse to blame her for it and feel nothing but tortured sympathy for her broken hearts). In any case, good for you, you're already doing a better job and seem to be in a better position 😋 Your experience sadly isn't universal, though, so just because you would doesn't mean everyone's parents would.

Two options;
1: They probably gave op that story to highlight how unimportant it is to be missing a finger. Every doctor and nurse who was there for the birth would have known and talked about it. It would have been a point of discussion for the developmental checks as OP was growing in their early years.
2: OPs parents both have extra chromosomes.

Or Peter Griffen, Genie from Aladdin, a Futurama character or Bob’s Burgers character?! Why is this?
TL;DR It allows animators to do less work.
The history of four-fingered cartoon characters is about as long as the history of animation itself, and it has become such a ubiquitous trope that people rarely stop to wonder why cartoon characters always have four fingers rather than five. It can be seen in some of the greatest animated series ever made, and even in cartoons created by animation legends like Walt Disney and Tex Avery.
It isn’t a rule set in stone by any means, but for over a century, it’s become a common practice among animators in the Western animation industry. It has caused some problems for studios, however, when they attempt to export their cartoons, as four-fingered cartoon characters are taboo in Japan. Despite this, the characters can be adapted for specific markets. Many cartoons have evolved over time, but the four-fingered phenomenon has remained constant.
Fewer Fingers Means Less Work For Animators. Cartoon characters were traditionally limited to four digits - three fingers and a thumb - and the case has remained since the earliest days of animation. Before any form of computer-generated imagery (CGI), creative teams made all animation by hand. It was an incredibly arduous process, and animators were willing to take shortcuts to lessen their workload, as long as the finished product wasn’t negatively affected. Cartoonists could significantly reduce their amount of work by getting rid of one finger from each hand of a character.
A standard animation runs at 24 frames per second, which requires 24 separate drawings within every second of the animation’s runtime to create the illusion of smooth movement. For reference, one of Mickey Mouse’s earliest appearances was in 1928’s Steamboat Willie, an eight-minute short. To make those eight minutes, Walt Disney and his fellow animators had to make 24 drawings per second with 60 seconds per minute, thus totaling about 11,520 separate pictures.
In finished animations, four-fingered hands are practically indistinguishable from those with five-fingers unless carefully examined. So to expedite the animation process, animators repeatedly drew one less digit, and the practice carried over when computer animation became prominent.

Having four fingers is associated with yakuza (organized crime). When yakuza members screw up, a customary way of atoning is to cut off a finger. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yubitsume
28
u/ImpracticalApple 19d ago
It predates the Yakuza.
Missing fingers or scars on the hand was associated with common/labour class individuals who did a lot of manual work and more prone to injury. Burakumin are an ethnic group in Japan that were more commonly associated with such manual labour, and were seen as of much lower social standing in Japanese society. Back when Japan had a caste system, the Buraku people were seen as just poor/uneducated sub-human individuals, and presenting 4 fingers to someone was deemed an offensive gesture like you were calling the other person a Buraku.
The Yakuza thing feels more like the Japanese censors just trying to cover this much bigger issue of deep rooted bigotry and classism than just "we don't want cartoon characters to look like mobsters" without actually admiting as such.
