@TaeAdri19409@eyeslikecapuli This exactly. They wouldn’t find me attractive down there because I have no curves, which is fine. I’m not gonna write think pieces accusing Brazilians of being obsessed with BBLs, giving backhanded compliments, or try and lecture them about their beauty standards.
The constant need to comment and play activist for a foreign culture on the other side of the globe just because you consume their pop culture is narcassistic and culturally imperialist.
Some of the most rational takes in this tiring argument so far come from Latin American Indigenous activist accounts. Racism on both sides have been awful, but their analysis on the disproportionate energy from Kpop fans regarding another country’s cultural aesthetics is sharp.
The latinas that have been fighting with Koreans for days are pathetic. There, I said it. And I highly suspect the reason why they’re all fighting so hard and refusing to let go is bc they know they (average latinas) don’t fit East Asian beauty standards & are insecure about that
You can think tone up creams or sun avoidance or filters are weird or whatever, but if it’s not harmful like mercury cream (which is literally banned in Korea) at the end of the day it’s not meant for you to find attractive.
@ililill1l1 Western k-pop fans can barely treat Koreans like regular people. They think they have a grasp on deep, societal issues in South Korea just from consuming TikTok reels and K-dramas, and are unable to see their own cultural imperialism, xenophobia, and misogyny towards Korean women
Y’all are obsessed with Koreans and don’t even realize how racist you are to them just because you like consuming their pop culture. Y’all are vile, genuinely
great example of someone giving excuses to their own xenophobia by acting as if original post was a complient with no malicious intent when the original post was mocking and generalizing koreans by saying they are ‘obsessed’ with being ‘white like a ghost.’
@carbonaratt@epichan77 lol purposefully obtuse. It wasn’t just a compliment, if they’d complimented tan skin without being backhanded about it, nobody would’ve cared. It was backhanded and you know it.
Sounds like men giving unwanted opinions about women’s style choices and makeup. It’s their cultural beauty standards, you don’t have to like it, but leave Asians alone. They’re not trying to force or export it to LATAM. We don’t need your backhanded, condescending “compliments”.
Eu percebi que a visão brasileira a cerca do padrão de beleza coreano é na vdd racista pq estamos analisando a cultura deles do ponto de vista da nossa.
Eles não se veem como brancos e nem querem ser brancos no sentido caucasiano da coisa, nem mesmo sofreram com a colonização +
@TOWERL0VERS@Ban_0302 Y’all started this shit, I promise you Koreans do not care and they certainly aren’t going to give backhanded “compliments” about what skin tone is a “real NATURAL colour” of Brazilians or whatever. Keep doubling down, but you guys started this shit.
It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
“How did we go from paper straws to data centres?”
no one listened to the environmentalists who said unchecked corporate pollution was the bigger issue.
Every app now is insanely sized. Why is my Wingstop app half a GB. How does that even happen!! These ppl should be beaten in the streets until it gets under 50mb again
@Mankosmash@hollowearthterf These “girlboss” type women are not going to circumvent their priorities to have children in their 20s and 30s when you guys try and push this anti-natalist propaganda. Instead of having children in their 40s, they just have them never. It’s counterintuitive.
