#im tagging this fuck it. i spent too much time writting it to not tag it

because come on. you cannot lie that a lot of white girls only like yuzuru cause he falls right into the category of very pretty east asian man who white teenage girls fawn over. it absolutely ist fetishization. i can tell this because 1. i've been in the fs community for YEARS. i can notice this stuff and 2. most of the white girls who started liking yuzuru a week ago are kpop stans. also 3. ive liked kpop since 2013 and have been part of the community on and off ever since. and yuzuru falls right into the category of a guy who could very well pass for a kpop member.

cause that's the thing, white people won't care for asians they can't fetishize. yuzuru is dainty and has a small build, he is light skinned, button nose, perfectly straight hair, all the things weird 15 year old koreaboos think is The standard for asian men.

this is not to discredit yuzuru as a skater: i think he is one of the most brilliant skaters of ALL TIME, the guy is genuinely a genius. and i don't think all his popularity comes only from his looks! ofc lots of ppl appreciate him for his skill! but you cannot deny that part of yuzurus fanbase, most especially younger ones, are only there for his looks.

if yuzuru had still the same athletic skill, same personality, same everything, but was darker skinned, had a wider nose, wasn't as slim, didn't have perfectly straight hair (all things nathan chen does have), he wouldn't be as popular among 15 year old twitter stans.

and again, this is NOT and NEVER WAS a critique on yuzuru. he is AMAZING, as a skater and as an individual. this is a critique on how these ppl will only care for asian people when they are attractive to them. if you can't fetishize them, they won't care for them at best, and despise them at worst.

it is absolutely disgusting. they wont remember about yuzuru's (or nathan's, or anyone in that fucking olympics for the matter) name next week, and they'll only do so when 2026 comes again, if they ever do. because they don't care for the sport, they barely understand how it works (and that's not to discredit newbies, it is a hard sport to get your head around, but these people have barely an ounce of interest in having further knowledge on this shit), they're only here so they can add another asian man to their stan list.

this isn't even only an issue with asian men as a lot of kpop stans also despise a girl from the kpop group kep1er for being "ugly", when her crime was not fitting with the expectation of how an asian woman should look. (i'm not even saying this because i like her or kep1er, on the contrary, i actively dislike the group but not because i think they're ugly or some shit like this).

either way. this is all to say most yuzuru stans on twitter are all white teenaged girls who are either weeaboos or koreaboos and that influences how they see any asian men they deem attractive. and that we should listen more to people who actually give a shit abt yuzuru for his skill instead of ppl who r only here for his looks.
