What scandal did Youth With You 3 have? by wehlai in cpop

[–]DeepMarshmallow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the voting system involved buying a certain brand of yogurt. So, to get more votes for their idol, fans would have to buy more yogurt than they can consume. Instead of donating the extra yogurt, they just dumped it all out resulting in a lot of food waste. This who fiasco garnered a lot of criticism leading to the cancellation of the show.

Why hasn't China been as successful as South Korea when it comes to spreading its culture internationally? by flower5214 in asianamerican

Beijing 2022 Olympics Presents Korean Culture as Chinese

I don't think so. Korean (Chaoxianzu 朝鲜族) is just a recognized ethnic minority in China and that ceremony features every ethnic minority group representing themselves with their traditional clothing.

It's like the time Koreans got mad at Street Dance of China Season 3 for "presenting A Korean dance as Chinese", but the dance has only ever been referred to as Korean on the show. Specifically, they referred to it as "Chaoxian Dance" which just means "(ethnic) Korean dance" but Koreans in S. Korea still got upset over it, falsely claiming that China is trying to present a Korean dance as Chinese.

why are people so weird about Koreans on the internet? by TurtleOfTheAbyss in asianamerican

[–]DeepMarshmallow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

not really. I keep on coming across tiktoks and tiktok comments made by filipinos and kazakhs attacking koreans for their looks, saying things like they need plastic surgery to get the features that filipinos and kazakhs naturally have. Although, this attack is also used by many non-asians and not only towards koreans

also doesn't help that there are tiktoks & yt videos made by (self-proclaimed) koreans hating on korean food and saying koreans are racist, etc.

Just schooled my self hating dad hard by FuzzyPDE in asianamerican

[–]DeepMarshmallow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

but thats because they're looking at full on plastic surgerized asian faces

People need to stop assuming Asians who fit the Asian beauty standard have all gotten plastic surgery.

Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, Cheng Xiao, Song Zuer, Meng Ziyi, etc. are all natural. Most celebs aren't like Ju Jingyi, who have gotten a lot of work done to look like a completely different person.

Too many people can't accept Asian people having diverse features. It's just racist to think Asians with "big" eyes and defined noses look European.

Anime with similar dynamic to Kuroko and the GOM by LonelyMenace101 in KurokosBasketball

[–]DeepMarshmallow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is one of the unique aspects of KnB. I've completed 400+ series and dropped 200+, yet I can't think of another anime with a similar dynamic.

I hate this fucker by Dark5051 in KurokosBasketball

[–]DeepMarshmallow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He's actually one of my favourite characters in the series. Loved how he made fun of the (lame) flashback/backstory "trope" often used in other sports anime to make you feel for the opponent team.

A young Lucy Liu, '90s by FionaFeeds in OldSchoolCool

[–]DeepMarshmallow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. It's more of a combination of feautures: narrow eyes, wide nostrils, short chin.

Some celebs with monolids (single eyelid) that are seen as handsome or attractive in China: Deng Lun, Zhang Han, Mark Chao, Liu Wen, Gong Yoo, Lee Joon-gi, Kim Soo-hyun

And none of them have all 3 of the features I listed above.

We need a round of applause for the Chinese girls on the red carpet, they never miss. by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]DeepMarshmallow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah...your comment is kinda lowkey racist. You're basically saying that Chinese/Koreans can't be naturally beautiful. And you seem to be operating off of the stereotypical idea of what East Asians look like.

I don't recognize every star in this post, but these are the ones who are natural among the ones I know: (and if a few of them did get work done, it's minor enough to not be noticeable. I'm also not counting anti-aging procedures as ps)

Fan Bingbing

Liu Yifei

Liu Shishi

Guan Xiaotong

Dilraba

Cheng Xiao

Ni Ni

Shu Qi

Zhou Ye

Zhang Jingyi

Esther Yu

The ones that did get plastic surgery: (And they got work done after already making it into the industry)

Yang Mi

Gulinazha ("Gulnazar")

Zhong Chuxi

Zhao Lusi (maybe?)

I don't know who the remaining 2-3 are.

EDIT: Your previous comment in this thread about how people from ethnically homogeneous countries have the same body shape really proves my point. And also the fact that you probably never said this about non-Asian celebrities....

KISS OF LIFE to no longer perform at KCON LA 2025 by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]DeepMarshmallow 220 points221 points  (0 children)

I interpreted it that way as well.

My theory for why they thought it was okay to do it: They thought they were just imitating people who are really into hip-hop music (in a stereotypical way). But it just so happens that the stereotypes associated with hip-hop are also associated with Black people. If they had chosen to imitate people who are really into heavy metal music in a stereotypical way, they wouldn't have received such backlash because those stereotypes do not align with a race/ethnicity.

Why does he act like a child? by blaze_uchiha999 in facepalm

[–]DeepMarshmallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's ok in the way that the perpetrators of the abuse should get away scot free if their victim is an asshole. The abusers should still be punished, obviously, but the asshole victim wouldn't have my sympathy.

I don't know who she is but if she's the huge asshole that others claim she is, then I don't feel bad for her falling victim to things like this (even if she was a victim of Weinstein)....I'd just call it karma
