still thinking about the claim that sometimes people want in porn what they wouldn’t want in real life as an excuse for writing literal racist fetishization into a fanfiction as if widespread consumption of racist pornography being linked to women of color ending up in extremely dangerous situations isn’t a well documented phenomenon

Happened the other night but we had a minor racism incident where a teen slammed into my brother on purpose, blamed him for knocking into them, and shrieked at him to eff off to China. He was uninjured but I heard it happen quickly, a few metres behind me. For this to happen in peak summer tourist crowds, in central Edinburgh..apparently this kind of attack has worsened a lot since Brexit, though I hear London is cosmopolitan enough that it is generally much less frequent there. But it's pretty brazen of these racists. And ofc..they get the home country wrong, assuming we all come from there.

#these pricks will look at a Thai or Filipino etc family and assume shit. us Malaysians are no exception #I don't even speak any Chinese dialects fluently even though yes the fam and I are ethnically Chinese #I can barely survive with a bit of Mandarin vocab but that's it #loz says stuff #sinophobia tw #racism tw #anti asian hate

oh my fucking god. i'm going to talk about this a little bit because i'm fucking livid. i am not a person of color so I don't want to speak over anyone, and i'm not an expert on this topic, but... this is way too fucking far, even for radqueers.

[Image ID: A screenshot of a coining post by tumblr user @/centipedekiyoko. It reads:

“Transgeisha: A transid term where you wish to be a geisha.”

Then, there is a flag. It has 13 horizontal stripes, of varying sizes but in a symmetrical pattern. From top to bottom, the colors are black, medium purple, purple, blue, red, white, golden, white, red, blue, purple, medium purple, and black. End ID.]

this is truly appalling. first, let’s just start with the fact that the geisha are not an aesthetic. they are a deeply important part of Japanese culture, and they have been for nearly 8 centuries, and that's AFTER they were inspired by aspects of Chinese culture. i bet this person would not be able to tell you what geisha even means in Mandarin (aka the language geisha is in, it literally translates to art person, usually interpreted as artisan), or that geishas were originally men, or that they are HIGHLY trained in MANY aspects of Japanese culture. the geisha that this person is imagining- the makeup and hair and attire? that’s just the surface of what the geisha are.

girls usually start their training to become a geisha around the age of 14-15. they live in separate housing and undergo rigorous training for YEARS. they become experts and masters in Japanese culture and arts. and they don't do it so that white strangers can fetishize them and shit. there is absolutely importance to the typical geisha appearance and style- but it's impossible to fully appreciate the depth of even that, if you're not from that culture, so you can't just fucking say "oh im transgeisha now" because you like the aesthetic. if you don't have the experience of that culture, you can't just "become" one of the most honored traditions from said culture. when geishas don their traditional attire and makeup, it's their culture. when we do it, it's called yellowface.

so let’s talk about the term “yellowface”. it refers to when white people use orientalist stereotypes and caricatures to dress up as, impersonate, and/or act as Asian people/characters. and for over a century, white people have been doing exactly that with the geisha- trying to dress as geishas, without knowing any of the cultural significance of them, or bothering to find out how to even accurately "portray" the geisha. American film has LONG endorsed this kind of stereotyping, and it has led to an EXTREMELY orientalist, racist, anti-Asian Hollywood and media culture in America. Asian creators in that industry have long spoken about this term and the issues it describes.

but yellowface is exactly the sentiment this "identity" reeks of. a persona of Japanese culture, not anything more. Japanese people are not our aesthetic. if you can't even recognize the basic humanity of the people whose culture you're taking, then why the fuck are you even making terms like this in the first place?

again, i'm not trying to be preachy about this. i would greatly welcome perspectives from actual Japanese people about this, I just saw this earlier and it hasn't left my mind since because it's so horrible. please block and report this person.

According to declassified military documents it’s likely that unknown thousands of Vietnamese civilians were killed in Vietnam. Torture was common, even of people who were likely farmers and innocents. It’s very likely that soldiers murdered civilians and lied about them being enemies to boost their body counts; it’s likely that the higher ups were aware of this (discrepancies in body count vs confiscated weapons is INSANE, lots of suspicious stuff, some veterans spoke out & were covered up/discredited).

Okay the more I think about it, why was there not an immediate apology after Martin Brundle called Zhou a colonialist ethnic slur on live television

Why was there just seconds of uncomfortable silence??? Hello??

#f1 #Barcelona gp 2023 #spanish gp 2023 #martin brundle #zhou guanyu #tw racism #as a Chinese f1 fan it was immensely uncomfortable #my friends all turned awkwardly and looked at me in the silence #I waited for an apology on tv that never came #the more I think about it the angrier I am #why was there even a pause on broadcast. did they have to evaluate if anti-Asian racism was bad enough to merit an immediate apology? #I’m speechless

[eoieopda]

damn, people are so sad at times. bullying, throwing hate for no reason to people who have been nothing but nice to everyone, and putting them under a fire while bring anonymous themselves 99% of the time.

tumblr used to be such a comfort but that comfort is being replaced by anxiety, slowly. and i am sorry you had to go through part of that.

i’ve definitely gotten some p gross anonymous hobgoblins in my inbox, but i’m more concerned about the deteriorating vibes on this site from a general standpoint (primarily as an observer.) i do appreciate the concern, though! 💕

i shall engage in discourse under the cut because no one has solicited my take here. then, i will step off my soapbox and resume my usual thottin’ and boppin’ because being here with my silly little moots, feeding my silly little delusions is supposed 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 be 👏🏻 healing 👏🏻

cw: general reference to anonymous allegation of anti-asian/anti-korean racism in a fanfic (truly not discussed in any detail whatsoever because that’s not actually even the point here); discussion of anon hate & “cancel culture.”

protect your peace, y’all!

disclaimer: the bulk of the anon messages i’ve seen this week focus on allegations of anti-asian racism, specifically a scene in a fanfic where a bts member experiences racism & xenophobia in america. this anon crusade was the straw that broke the camel’s back (it’s me, i’m the camel) but it is absolutely not the only example of the problem here. as a reminder, things i am: a korean immigrant who lives in america. things i am not: a mouthpiece for 1) POC as a collective, non-white whole; 2) asians; 3) koreans; 4) korean immigrants; 5) korean immigrants in america; 6) immigrants, anywhere. literally *any* thought you see on this blog is me speaking my individual mind on my own, individual behalf.

i’ll start off by saying that i don’t have an issue with people going to creators and saying, “you did this thing, and i think it was harmful for xyz reason.” i don’t have an issue with people doing that anonymously, either. this kind of interaction isn’t inherently toxic.

for example, in january (i think?) i discovered jackson wang, thought he was a babe, and dug his music. i wrote a drabble that featured him. shortly thereafter, i got an anon message that (essentially) asked why i would post a drabble about him because he was problematic.

the short version of that answer is that i didn’t know anything about what the anon was referring to. however, because this person brought the issue to my attention, discourse ensued and i did learn about it. ultimately, i came to agree with the original anon that he was not a person i wanted featured on my blog/in my content. the lesson was learned; the drabble was deleted; and things were resolved (in that i got no additional anon messages about this, etc.)

unfortunately, that situation appears to be a statistical anomaly. now, there are hate blogs focused on bts content creators (which is exactly as stupid as it sounds.) i won’t say the name of the blog because i think it’s like a “bloody mary” situation and i do not wish to summon that buffoonery and goonery into my space, now or ever.

i would just….. really, really like a mission statement to explain what the hell the purpose of these blogs and anonymous crusades is supposed to be.

it’s clearly not to meaningfully address conflict and promote changed behavior because the anonymous bombardment continues even after targeted users begin taking accountability & remedial measures. and if that’s supposed to be the goal, i can’t wrap my brain around why no one on those blogs is permitting that process to occur.

so, if no space/time is given for anything constructive to happen, the only purpose i can identify for these blogs is to ceaselessly criticize people whether or not it’s constructive — regardless of the target’s response — until the person they’ve set their sights on feels so beaten down that they ultimately leave the platform.

i’m serious — what does that solve? who does that help?

definitely not the marginalized groups these anons are purporting to advocate for because, from where i’m sitting, this kind of anon swarming just muddies the message and exacerbates the problem.

no one is going to want to try harder or know better if this is what they’re met with, even when they try to respond in good faith. no one in the relevant, marginalized group benefits, either, because someone that could evolve as an ally just got fucking clobbered.

*if you’re in that marginalized group and you disagree with the anons, you’re an “apologist,” “ass-eater,” etc. so, it seems that not all of our voices matter? what was that about speaking over POC (specifically, in this instance, asians)? 🤔

like, do these anons actually want people to learn/change, or do they want a public execution? those things are mutually exclusive.

since the latter is what their ham-fisted tactics result in, i think that was always the goal. and i hate that. i don’t think that makes anything better — for anyone.

anyways. feel free to be unhappy with the fact that liam has a new gf in the movie and definitely feel free to make criticisms about how the tw writers roped in a no name asian actress to be kira’s thinly veiled replacement since they refused to pay arden right and think all asians are #interchangeable despite profiting greatly off our cultures but just remember being racist towards an actress or character (who you havent even seen on screen yet) under the guise of being supposedly anti racist makes you a weird pathetic freak loser and it doesn’t count as helpful commentary. 💓

#like its kinda almost hilarious that theyre being so obv ab liam and hikari being the new scira #and its also funny that no one even asked for it #but whats not funny is the wave of vaguely racist takes and remarks ik are ab to come her way #just bc shes In The Way of a white mlm ship #i think ive seen this film before and i didnt like the ending . #head in my hands this movie feels like one giant setup #on one hand i respect that girl chasing a check esp bc shes a no namer and tw is a relevant franchise #but also we know how shitty the cast and crew were to the last asian lead so its like. okay #but she doesnt deserve to be subject to the insanity of tw shippers that dont get their way #idk. thiam r my babies esp liam but the anti asian racism surrounding this movie is driving me up a wall #kira was my cousin i still cant believe they did her so dirty #also cant believe theyre using japanese culture as a major plotpoint again when they act like That towards arden but i digress #anyways #i have a headache. at least derek was confirmed to be a good dad and his face card has held up #and his hairline. unlike some peoples. #personal

[annarubys]

the argument that portrayal isn’t necessarily endorsement means nothing to me actually. literally everyone with a shred of media literacy knows that, and i think poc who watch spn and recognize when something’s fucked up WAY more easily than any white fan definitely have it. portrayal isn’t always endorsement but that doesn’t mean it’s your place to do the portraying. you still have biases and at the end of the day you can be the world’s greatest ally and still write something that hurts people. if you write about an experience you don’t have and then someone who lives through that experience every day says that it’s harmful they have the right to express that and you don’t get to invalidate them.

#also i’m (not) sorry but ‘you’re probably not old enough to be reading smut anyway’ is SO condescending what the hell #like i genuinely did not even catch that part of the fic and i should have but the response has left such a bad taste in my mouth #how is there discourse on this website every damn day about how queer women writing mlm is problematic #but when it comes to asian and/or latin fetishization it’s crickets or outright defense. #anyway i don’t have many followers here but i did want to make my position on this clear #to hopefully give any poc followers some peace of mind #please do not hesitate to tell me if i’ve made any missteps with this if anyone’s reading in the first place #and if you feel comfortable doing so ofc #a.txt #racism tw #anti asian racism tw

Republicans so high off their Roe v. Wade win that there's deadass people trying to reinstate forms of segregation style discrimination in places like texas against chinese people. Motherfucking fascists so bold they tryna be a step away from "No Negroes" signs via blatantly illegal legislation, just waiting for the federal government to do something and seeing how much bullshit they can get away with in a short span of time.

believe me when i say i really support poc as the protagonists in television! but chop socky chooks is one of the exceptions! BECAUSE THE SHOW PROMOTES RACIAL STEREOTYPES!!! TWO OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS, CHICK P (THE WOMAN) AND CHUCKIE CHAN (THE GLASSES GUY) ARE WALKING CHINESE STEREOTYPES, WHEREAS K.O. JOE (THE BIG GUY WITH AN AFRO) IS LITERALLY A BLACK STEREOTYPE!!! THIS RACISM IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! I SUPPOSE 2008 WAS A DIFFERENT TIME!!! BUT NOW WE HAVE BECOME MORE EDUCATED AND WOKE AS A SOCIETY!!! THE ONLY GOOD THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THE SHOW IS THAT IT DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO A YEAR, AND I HOPE TV CHANNELS ARE NO LONGER AIRING THIS RACIST SHOW!!!

Looked up title IX and clicked on a conservative website's result out of curiosity. This is the overview of "issues" on their site. I get that it's not surprising but it's still disturbing to see the unapologetic racism with listing "Asia" as a key issue for this organization. The only country they talked about was China and it was about their batshit, Covid-centered conspiracy theories.
