it's even worse when they provide selfies or other details about their appearance like SON we don't want yo chopped gooner ahh💔💔
so you might've heard about the wasian meetup recently, i think there was one in NYC and one in SF? i've seen lots of monoracials and other biracials mad about it, mostly because they feel they are being excluded (other half asians like blasians and hispasians, or non-asian biracials like mixed white-african american).
i've also seen people talk about the meetup excluding wasians who have half asian heritage from west or south asia, some even claim it's from a place of racism regarding their darker skin tones. i have yet to see proof of this actually happening, but at the same time i also have a theory on why this could be happening: when people talk about asia, most only think of east asia and maybe even southeast asia, like japan, korea, china, thailand, philippines, malaysia, indonesia... most people don't even recognize west and south asians as their definition of "asian" even if that's what they actually are, asian.
i can sympathize with feeling excluded, although i believe it was stated on the meetup that everyone was welcome even if the meetup was organized mainly for wasians (white+asians)? i also wonder why we weren't just able to ignore the meetup if we didn't like it, they weren't hurting anyone, and we could organize another meetup for all half-asians or all biracials instead.
i've also seen lots of dangerous assumptions going like "they're parading their whiteness" "that reminded me of a kkk meeting" "it's their white side that organized it" and that we're somehow "proud" of our whiteness and privilege.
to me it just isn't that deep, and the criticism feels overblown compared to what the actual "problem" is (the meetup and wasians). personally, when i first saw something online about the meetup i thought "oh cool, that would be fun to go to as a wasian myself". i'm half european, so maybe i don't understand the discourse because i don't live in america.
*insert image of random women's smut book* "b-b-b-but you guys read minotaur p*rn! you literally want to have s*x with animals!!!!!" bro i've literally never met a single woman who reads stuff like that...
and don't get me started on when they bring up dark romance books like haunting adelaide (yk, the ones who glorify SA), majority of women don't even read those books and hate on the ones that do lol.
these moids literally think that smut books are damaging, when porn literally causes violence. moids think it's okay to choke, slap, hit women because they saw it in porn. women have died from it. but god forbid 1 in 1000000 women has a weird fetish and the craziest thing she will ever do is buy a dragon dildo.
even for a very feminist country like sweden, the subreddit is full of (most likely single and middle aged) men making posts complaining about either women or immigrants lol.
when i opened reddit i saw a post from that subreddit complaining about a male strip club being opened in our country (female strip clubs are illegal here), saying it was a double standard and wrong. it was like a magic mike show i think? and while any type of strip club is questionable to me and i'd never go to one, a freaking magic mike show isn't nearly as bad as any female strip club out there
first of all yes i do look young, maybe because i'm asian and i don't use heavy makeup or wear revealing outfits to try and look more mature. on this particular day i didn't wear very revealing clothes either (jeans and a jacket) so i guess i wasn't showing off my "womanly figure" either.
anyway i was hanging out and drinking with my friend at an event and she saw some people she knew (a stacy and her boyfriend) so she went over to greet them while i waited at our spot. from afar i hear them smalltalk a little and my friend is like "yeah i'm here with my friend (points to me)". and this stacy loudly gasps and is like "BUT SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S TEN" and hearing this i was obviously offended since i'm a grown ass woman.. soon after my friend comes back to me and i ask her if that stacy really said that and she said yes.
look i've been told i'm young before, been told i look 15, even 13... BUT 10 YEARS OLD? nah i'm roping
god forbid a girl doesn't want back pain, wants her body to look more proportionate, and doesn't want moids objectifying her just for existing
