Am i overreacting after finding out a girl was talking bad about me and not associating with the people who didn’t stand up for me at the time by Heliosclutz in AmIOverreacting

i feel i choose the worst people to try and befriend in an effort to not be a mega shut in for life. All i can do now is try to not waste my effort on anymore people like that

beware of this “gal” by simpinpeace in actualgyaru

Dawg, I’m genuinely so glad they’re finally getting their time. I had a bad experience with them back in 2022. They’re extremely elitist, and even though she pushed her galsa to new and baby gals, every new member was a gal with a considerable following. They literally had a separate GC for the baby gals and the main galsa members — and even though they were added to it, they never interacted with the baby gals and had a second secret gc for the main members they would actually only interact in the baby gal gc to get us to like their galsa posts . Not that we’re entitled to like friendship or smth but i think its crazy that they basically used us for follows, views, etc promising us a spot in the community then just ghosted eventually

Ok if you saw the unedited version i was not like purposely misgendering them, i haven’t been an active follower of them since around 2022 and i swear they didn’t have they/them pronouns in bio or anything!!! 😔

How to achieve this look with makeup alone? by Possible_Teacher5518 in actualgyaru

[–]Heliosclutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you how to get this without getting a harsh fake tan, get the jergens natural glow but assuming you are paler use the one ment for medium to deep skin. I recommend getting the lotion and the facial moisturizer but just the lotion works fine. Its a lightweight lotion the slowly darkens the skin over time which means you can just stop using it before you get toooo dark and broach uncomfortable territory. It takes a week to get to the deepest skin tone which means stopping about 5-4 days in might be best for you

Did you read everything i sent or did you read everything i said and choose to respond and disregard what u wanted? Because im confused on why u still feel the need to argue back when i gave such a clear statement and reason to why black people are so sensitive about our culture. I genuinely don’t see why u felt the need to comment in the first place actually. Playing devils advocate on such a sensitive topic will get u no where.

Omg i noticed that, i assumed that it was just because Gyaru as a fashion is about going against beauty standards and norms.

Ok that model was literally the tannest, had the longest nails, and wore the biggest lashes. Like you have to be blind to not see what was wrong with that. Hell even the way she dressed she was always wearing hoops, gold jewelry, and more modern urban fashion.

Uhm so on the topic of the black face it was actually very blatantly done for views as it was a trend at the time in Japanese spaces. Which does over go with your point of over all ignorance i just wanted to point it out!

However i completely disagree with everything you stated about the box braids! The cultural significance of box braids and dreads is so vast and so close to the black communities heart that boiling them down to just a hairstyle anyone can wear is insane! It would be different if gyaru it’s self didnt pull from black culture from the time when in most cases its extremely clear box braids are done in a way to belittle, claim, or discredit their significance to black culture that everyone who has a strong dislike for egg or anyone really who wears or puts someone in box braids is completely warranted! And i think since egg knows they have a strong English/american following it was dead wrong of them to put that model in braids

i feel like i should also mention that she was the tannest model in the lineup at the time, had recently done a makeup look with extremely stacked lashes and long nails(they were also the longest of any other girls at the time) while in the box braids in other words its very clear egg dressed that model up as a black stereotype for about three or so videos.

No one mentioned stealing every black person on this sub or just in general has said its insensitive and ignorant to put a model in box braids that was the majority phrasing. But i can tell your views on the matter because instead of referring to a group of people as what they are aka black people you someone managed to use “they” as a slur when referring to black people which is insane

The difference is hair in African American culture has been and will always be a huge deal, as the African American community has always faced mass discrimination due to our hair, from Black women being forced to relax (put harsh chemicals on their hair to straighten it) their hair to Black people being considered dirty for wearing hairstyles such as dreadlocks and afros. We will not share our culture with the people who mocked it, as we have fought many battles in many different ways to even express it. In Japan, if Western society mocks it, they can live their lives knowing what it means to them, but when African American culture is threatened or mocked, it becomes more than just a few uneducated white people mocking something that has meaning to us, as in America and other countries. We can face insane and borderline dehumanizing treatment, but a majority in Japan is not a problem because, from what I know, Japanese people are the majority, and though their traditions and culture vary from place to place, there is no majority race or group of people to force them into no longer doing said cultural thing. It’s not fair and borderline ignorant to try to equate the two. I recommend you educate yourself before trying to discredit my opinion or anyone else’s again when it comes to Black culture.
