stop fetishizing asian people..
stop fetishizing asian people..
i have noticed ever since anime and k-pop started getting viewed and followed by western audiences. and i noticed a problem that started to come up
people in ( MOSTLY) the west have to see japanese/koreans and other people in east asia as their ‘anime waifu’ or some hot k-pop boy and some shit to stan. normal people who share the same race as singers or even fictional characters like from manga/anime +
have to deal with this..
damn it can even be someone who is chinese being called korean or japanese. SOME people really don’t give a duck about the difference in race and language marking it even worse. +
in addition just because someone is japanese doesn’t mean they like anime or manga! +
don’t go calling every east asian you see you ‘senpai’ and shit. it freakin creepy and saying you are only into asian people or think they’re the prettiest and other races suck- +
japanese girls/women aren’t anime girls
japanese boys/men aren’t anime boys
korean boys/men aren’t k-pop stars
korean girls/women aren’t k-pop stars
japanese boys/men aren’t anime boys
korean boys/men aren’t k-pop stars
korean girls/women aren’t k-pop stars
AND CHINESE GIRLS/BOYS/WOMEN/MEN ARENT THE SAME AS JAPANESE AND KOREAN PEOPLE
leave these people alone who share the same trait/race as a singer or character you love. it’s dehumanizing and you look like a fool. even if you might be excited to have the closest thing you can get to senpai but you just look like a fucking ass
i have seen people be uncomfortable because some creep racially harassing them +
just because you know a little animeu languageu doesn’t mean you get to act like a creep and they owe you a relationship or some kind of fucking fan service. don’t fucking stereotype and expect your husbando to know martial arts and be a yaoi sin boi +
what’s even worse there was this story on the news that a japanese girl tried to stab a man because she loved him. her followers and fans shot up because they loved they anime yandere waifu. girls wanted to fucking be that. cosplaters and artists loved her +
listen i understand that you find a certain feature in people attractive it’s totally understandable . what isn’t okay is projecting your ideals onto normal people who are minding their own business and assuming you know everything about them and sexualizing them for that reason
thanks for reading this thread. someone on ig posted this a few days ago and i believe i should share it here so that more people will know about this problem
pls retweet this so more people can see this post!!
