#cultural fetishism

[kouhaiofcolor]

The whole world be watching white women absolutely disrespect the integrity & purpose of food making the most nauseatingly inedible shit on TikTok — & antiblack black men who feel empowered by misogynoir still demand attention to vouch for them being their preferences & more desirable for their willingness to “cook” for them. 🫤 I do not understand.

every time I see non Asians go by Asian names online I get whiplash bc I'm like o shit another one of me!! then I find out they are a white weeb from Arkansas going by Haru that can't name more than 3 countries in Asia

#ppl used to make fun of me for my ethnic name so now i go by a western one.... #but now i guess ethnic names are cool again as long as ur not that ethnicity? we have come full circle #huge difference between cultural appreciation and surface level fetishization btw #this is specifically talking about those that dont actually respect asian culture & use it as an aesthetic or accessory

ok ok, listen. I am gonna be straight with you. I am not a Patholic nerd and I really like the game. it has one of the most extraordinary stories/lore, plus its gloomy aesthetic is just my shit. but as a local Khalkh Mongolian, I very much dislike the herb bride designs. they have no inspiration from the cultures they are supposed to vaguely resemble, like literally nothing. i am a visual type of person and love it, ADORE it when shit is pretty to look at, it's in my blood. instead they opted for looking like straight-up savage unevolved cartoon cavewomen with skimpy outfits and foliage in their hair for good measure.

they look so out of place here, which you could argue its intentional but cmonnn???

here’s my take on how they could have looked like or at least what kind of things the devs missed out on:

—and their hair should have been braided in many different styles? all three of the major inspirations for the kin doesn’t like loose hair, if we are speaking traditionally. i really like these thin braids:

yeah, i get Orkhon economy is in shambles so no jewelry and colorful clothes but at least cover their boobage?? idk just slap on thin deel + belt and then just rough it up? make decorations out of wood?? and beads out of bones without just dangling them?? just because shit is desperate doesn't mean we gotta lose our dignity too?

edit: This post’s main point is not about restricting the nudity or the creative liberty i am only saying they should have approached this aspect from a different perspective with a native eyes on the IPL development team. It may have came off that way because i used the word boobage huh?

#everything doesn’t have to be accurate but keep your shit AUTHENTIC #do not ‘umm actually’ me unless you are a local or studied altaic cultures #deepening my lore perspective is ok too. but do not be a snob w/ me #dancing so hard that your clothes fall off is kinda bullshit excuse but ok fine. it's an interesting idea. initially #yeah herb brides get empathtic moments but we do agree this is a fetishization of poc women to a degree right? like a sexualized caricature #one of them straight up die for a open your heart joke lol wtf #and if you are gonna sexualize something at least DO IT RIGHT #there’s much so cool shit you coulda done here but nooOO savage east-asians are apparently the hip thing to do ugh #but handling of the colonialization aspect is horrible #you google traditional clothes on our culture almost every single one of those women and they will have a hairdo and a deel+belt #p.s. we don't worship bulls #or an evil entity #our religion is tengri or buddhism. some of us are monotheist too #random trivia: the pronoun “I/me” is not written “be”. it's “BI” #random trivia: unmarried woman/girl is called a sewger #pathologic #pathologic 2 #мор утопия #мор утопия 2 #herb brides #flintstones looking ass #god i am so gay for all these women above (except the herb bride hell nah) #makes the 4 hours i spent on this so worth it #if I had a nickel every time if slav games i liked had an anti-asian undertones #I’d have two which is not a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice #mongol #tibet #buryat #mongolia #buryatia

don't get me started on the (culturally-)christian fetishization of jews and palestinians and brown people that's been happening from the “jesus was an x!!!” crowd. you should not care about jews just because jesus was a jew. (not to mention how night and day DIFFERENT judaism is now vs then). you should not care about palestinians just because jesus lived in a place that was later called palestine (not to mention the complete difference in terms of national identity broadly and palestinian national vs administrative identity specifically. read my post here for more x). you should not care about brown people just because jesus was probably not pasty ass white (not to mention the complete differences in racial identity and how this is literally millennia before the full identity of “brown” or “black” ever formed in any way we would recognize today)

what if instead of trying to cover up your guilt for the systemic horrors your religion committed and continues to committed by trying to add all these identity politics labels onto your Main Guy™ you just cared about people for the sake of them being people

I don’t think goyim realize that it’s not uncommon for Jewish people to be forcibly assimilated into other cultures. It’s not uncommon for antisemitic goyim to date or marry Jews, even though they hate them for being Jewish. It’s not uncommon for antisemitic goyim to abuse their Jewish family members. It’s not uncommon for antisemitic goyim to marry into Jewish families, cut Jewish children off from their culture, and teach them to hate themselves. Keep that in mind when you’re talking about how safe your country is for Jews and when you’re justifying your own antisemitism. Because right now I fear for any Jewish person who ends up dating or is unfortunate enough to have to be in proximity to some of you goyim who are cheering at Jewish death, labeling all Jews as untrustworthy, and mocking Jews for being afraid of rising antisemitism.

#and that’s not even going into how some goyim fetishize Jews #here’s a tip #instead of using what’s going on with I/P as an excuse to be antisemitic #try making your country safer for Jews and make the Jews around you feel safe #instead of making yourself a danger to Jews and their culture #I promise you that will do more to help Palestine than screaming gas the Jews will #tw antisemitism #antisemitism #jumblr #jewish #tw abuse

I'm taking the phrase "cultural appropriation" away until these chronically online losers learn what it actually means.

#using a couple words that originated in aave isnt cultural appropriation #white people with dreads is #buying clothes/jewelry/art from a person in a culture and wearing it is not cultural appropriation #fetishizing japanese culture from just watching anime is

Okay I’ve noticed that in the tumblr gothic lit fandom discussions about racism (be it in-text or fandom racism) never go too far because if it’s a white person pointing something out (usually something blatant everyone can see) they’re accused of white saviorism and speaking over the people of color who are really affected by that racism- but if those people of color do it and call the racism out, they’re ignored. the only people of color that are listened to are the ones that say “it’s not that bad”, “I’m fine with it”, “I don’t mind it” as if they’re a monolith and other POC aren’t uncomfortable with the fandom’s behavior. and, listen, I don’t know if I -as a white person- am 100% right in this assessment, but it kind of… smells of tokenism?

#doc talks #gothic fiction #gothic literature #I think this is true of all fandoms tho but in this one it is more insidious #because it’s always like #’hey maybe don’t be like these old timey authors we read and fetishize Asian cultures?’ #‘well you’re white so what do you know. anyway this Asian weapon is definitely used for sex things by my white fave’

Non blacks dni.

Like,,,,I hate to have to say this like this but. This just a thought. Idk where this perpetuation around dsbw being insecure w their complexions ever came from cus. When I tell yall I see & hear such blatant, more outwardly obvious insecurities way more often among dsbm than I ever do among dsbw, chile. Alotta these niggas lowkey be way too insecure to romantically pursue dsbw if they're dark skinned themselves & that shit is beyond weird.

And there definitely seems to be a correlation between how it seem like, the darker the nigga, the more colorist or self hating the reflection of his self worth & cultural value is in his dating patterns. Cus they exclusively lay up w, simp for & pedestalize non black women so aggressively (whom oddly enough can never retain their own non black cultural identity once they have the attention of black men — which to me off rip should be the most obvious & telltale sign of fetishism rather than personal attraction but).

Everybody (& i mean every, damn, body non black lol) got they hand out pouring all this energy into projecting that they have a relevance, understanding or proximity to blackness nowadays in this tsunami of an appropriative ass social "wave" — & these delusionally vindictive ass niggas leave the door propped wide ass open for em to walk thru, loiter, falsely claim our creativity & wash us out. And then spend the better part of the serial interracial relationships they be in cockily, relentlessly shitting on black women anywhere from like 60-100% of the time anyway. Even when we ain't studding them. Makes all the sense.

Mad props & appreciation for black men out here unafraid to be unpopularly centered — cus on God the average nigga don't even realize he the average nigga fr. Ion even see dsbw fiend for attention from white men or nbmoc the way these dudes be out here consciously & pridefully investing in white supremacy, antiblackness & colorism behind these culture vulture beckies & nbwoc. If you different, thank you. If you expending effort to genuinely esteem & uplift dsbw as a dsbm w/o needing something to gain in return, thank you. 🖤 if you out here safeguarding & gatekeeping blackness & diasporic black culture w purpose as a black man, thank you.

Shit wild out here. Literally all you gotta do is sit back & observe. Everybody on a bandwagon fr. Playing roles fr.

Men's femininity is very different from the femininity that is a requirement of women's subordinate status, because women do not choose femininity but have it thrust upon them. Femininity is not a form of sexual fantasy for women but the hard and often resented work required of those who occupy subordinate social status.

Like I gotta tell you the fact that humans experience sexual feelings might just not be the biggest problem in the world. I don't think some pubescent kid getting weird feelings about boobs is like personally oppressing women. Obv we need to teach people not to force their sexual wants and needs on others. But like. That's the same w not forcing things on others in general and teaching respect and self-regulation.

Sex work is work and deserves the same respect and regulation as any other work. You claim the porn industry is inherently misogynistic and that actors themselves are misogynists but have you ever considered that judging a woman's value by her sexual exclusivity and modesty is the most wildly misogynistic shit? Have you ever considered, dear fake feminists, that YOU are the misogynists whose "activism" only applies to the women YOU think deserve equality and freedom and rights. If your feminism doesn't have room for sex workers or trans women or women of color it is not feminism; it's just misogyny. You don't want equality, you want a matriarchy where only Acceptable Cis White Modest Christian Women are on top. So basically the exact model of the patriarchy but with Specific women instead.

#feminism #terfs and swerfs dni #anti swerf #sex work is work #respect sex workers of all genders #modesty is not value #purity culture #what kind of politics you gotta have that the thing youre most outspoken about is how sex is evil #the audacity to assume how peoples kinks and fetishes work also #if i wanna fuck robots r u gonna tell me thats some weird misogyny metaphor too? get outta here #misoginy #women are not required to be 'modest and pure' to deserve respect #right to work #yall just invented patriarchy part 2 and think thats feminist
