hi fellow asian here (thai and filipino if u want me to be exact) look at this face here, u see this? “cool” or “hot” huh? this is called ahegao, it’s pretty popular so if u don’t kno, u clearly live under a rock.

now you may have seen people like belle delphuckery or others w a big platform on anime, lewd, or nsfw twt make this face- if u do this and you’re not asian, no don’t

tw//: rape

why? because of its history of oppression against japanese women and young children. what oppression? their rapes and the depiction of them “enjoying” it and now this is affecting all asian femmes because of the stereotypes it promotes about asians in general.

what stereotypes? the ones westerners made but first, here’s a fellow japanese sw talking abt it + a accurate recording of the first hentai made with ahegao. https://twitter.com/MaeSoryu/status/1230008804764475393

common stereotypes against asian femmes are: “anime” girl, being any type of -dere, “gamer” girl, or being really submissive. it’s not fair to have such stereotypes held against us and it is most certainly not fair to have yt people take said stereotypes and constantly promotes-

and profits off of them. now if ur also a part of anitwt, hi um just because you watch anime, divulge in the culture, or can maybe speak the language doesn’t mean you have a say so in what affects us, period.

you can say “it’s just a face !!”, “it’s not that serious”, or “it’s just anime/manga/hentai” but you’re only adding to the stigmatism asians deal with.
i’m also certain that there are some asian people who don’t feel the same way that some of us do about this and that doesn’t-

mean that our feelings should be invalidated about it. to the yt sws on this app that decide to follow behind the steps of belle delphuckery and alike, especially the ones who were called out for it and still do it: you’re so shameful and blatantly racist. “how am i racist?!?!”

well you have a minority race telling you how there is something oppressing them and all they want for you to do is to stop contributing to the oppression and you are deciding to ignore that and continue on with said oppression, that is how it’s racist.

so please, If you see any sws who are not asian doing the face, calmly educate them on why they shouldn’t and if they ignore- report their content, ez
