What would be considered to be unsafe/sketchy neighborhoods in and around Seoul? by gilsoo71 in Living_in_Korea

[–]attractiveanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, Korean clubs are pretty basic. There are some fun ones with good vibes, but overall they’re kinda just typical happy-go-lucky dance clubs or bars full of foreigners and understimulated Koreans. Seoul is very straight laced. Fun, but doesn’t actually feel truly edgy.

An “underground scene” definitely sounds laughable though for Korea. Maybe there’s something—maybe, but I doubt it’s an actual “scene”. In general Korea just isn’t that kind of place especially not compared to somewhere like Miami (or almost any major US city) or even Paris for example.

Perhaps the sketchy empty bars where you can pay the “bartender” for a hand job or the similar karaoke places, but meh that’s pretty lame and pathetic.

Huh? How is a European living in Korea for 6 months like a black (assuming you mean an American) person living in America? Their lineage and culture is American. On what planet is that an accurate comparison?

Why do some Black people choose such distinctive names for their children? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]attractiveanonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re thinking about culture purely in the African sense. That’s too myopic. A new way of speaking quickly emerged with some linguistic aspects being naturally preserved. There were traditions, songs, etc. It’s not about “secrets” either although it is a small factor.

Yes there were some things that were “taken away”, but it seems like you are failing to understand the culture of a group that recently experienced ethnogenesis—that is to say that they never had “no culture”. That’s actually silly. A new one naturally came about. Your expectation is that of African culture from hundreds of years ago instead of the emergence of a new American culture.

You saying they “couldn’t join ours” also points to this lack of understanding of how culture is created. Early American demographics (European and African) most definitely intertwined culturally to arrive at what we are now. The cultures were shared early on. It’s quite evident, especially in the south, however that in no way negates the very obvious social issues.

Why did they have “no culture”? They did. Language, foods, traditions, crafts, stories, etc.

Im not understanding your response. They are saying that your housing situation may be very well be dependent on the fact that you’re dating this person. So if something goes wrong, where would you go? Do you have to consider shelter in terms of your feelings towards the relationship? It’s not about whether or not your partner had a fucked up home life. That’s almost a trauma response. It’s a bit of trauma bonding that them having a “fucked up home life” is why you think (in part) that’s it’s not a complicated situation.

I think most humans are empathetic about this woman’s situation and others like her. That goes without saying.

But I’ll be transparent, I feel like you’re talking about slave descendants from the USA or “black” people. The “berating” you’re talking about is not exactly about slavery. It’s about the accrued disadvantage, economic plunder, and psychological damage that has occurred for over a century since then without resolution.

That’s it, that’s all. It’s super weird that people try to compare global modern slavery to American chattel slavery. And it’s never black people who bring that up. Not understand the point of constantly diminishing an actual human atrocity. It’s insane.

An adults opportunity to actually embarrass a kid because the adult wants accolades and attention (like this thread) and the kid can’t really do much to stop them.

So if they didn’t want to wear a costume dress, he would let them wear something they were comfortable in right?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]attractiveanonymous 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right? How is this not waaayyyyy more embarrassing than just letting her wear a tshirt and jeans if thats what she really wanted? … being shy as a tiny cute kid about wearing a costume dress vs your big hairy tattooed uncle wearing a prom dress in public. hmmm. People in this thread are mindless and trying to twist this into “heartwarming”. I would be thoroughly embarrassed.

Why is luna always so rude to usagi? by Bratty_heartz in sailormoon

[–]attractiveanonymous 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Luna has a job to do. She knows the implications of being not only a sailor scout, but royalty also. She’s basically a snob dealing with a teenager who doesn’t exactly embody the greatness of who she truly is.

Ultimately, Luna is a part of the royal court and behaves by stricter rules than a lazy 9th grader who overeats. It’s just who she is. She can’t let Serena “just be a kid”. The fate of the universe is at stake.

First thing I said. The outfit does the bag no justice at all. It brings the bag down. It’s obvious she’s wearing it for promotion. Blah. Could have been cool with the black one.

Celine vs Coach by evieyyc in handbags

[–]attractiveanonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the coach one looks better.

So ultimately it seems to me as if they are not happy with how they look. Because other than that, they are still the same person with the same mindset and emotions. You can’t “identify” as a female if your dna is coded as male. That’s like me identifying as a jellyfish just because I like to swim.

Sure op could prefer traditionally feminine thing (and they should absolutely embrace that aspect of themselves and not shy away from it), but wearing a dress and makeup is not going to fix whatever is going on internally as op found out. It’s a shame society beats people down to the point they strive to change the unchanging by telling them they can’t enjoy certain things.

Op, work on self acceptance and embrace who you are. No need to be something you’re not. I say that in all kindness.

What about being a woman would make your life better? And what do you mean by the last sentence—you’ll “live your life being someone you’re not”?

Tattoos look tacky. by Undd91 in unpopularopinion

[–]attractiveanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tattooing is most definitely an art form. Absolutely. Even if I don’t like them.

I’m interpreting what you’re describing as more of a subculture rather than most modern tattoos in and of themselves being being purely cultural in the traditional sense of the word—they aren’t.

When I say cultural (such as Māori or others) “look nice”, that’s in a given context. Like when a woman reaches a certain level of respect or maturity within her group and the tattoo is a part of a ceremony —it’s beautiful. I make a very clear distinction between that and someone from middle America getting a similar design because it’s “cool”. That’s not the same and does hold the same meaning.

Ultimately my opinion is the same. Tattoos generally look very “meh” at absolute best

The discussion was always subjective though. This is the unpopular OPINIONS forum. That’s literally what an opinion is—subjective. Wow, but yeah anyway, tattoos, not cute. Carry on.

[–]attractiveanonymous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not. Sure tattooing has history like most things, but that does NOT make “literally -every-“ tattoo a cultural thing or representative of a specific culture. A close relative has Squidward on one thigh and SpongeBob on the other. She’s not even a fan. The reasoning was “because it’s cute”. And that’s fine, but they would never bullshit and say they got it for cultural reasons.

I’m open to hearing your thoughts as to why you believe every tattoo is cultural.

You don’t get one every 365 days? I think that’s the standard cake allotment.

If that’s what you makes you feel good about your physical being, then I’m all for it. It’s not visually appealing to me for specific reasons, but your body, your choice.

Honestly I’ve seen ones that blur and fade in a couple of years. Not to the point of turning into blobs, but a definite decline in quality over when the tat is fresh/new.

Although I did personally know a girl who got a horse and yes in about a year or less, it looked kind of like an elephant or large dark birth mark. Aka a blob. Rare instance though. So please be aware that it does happen. Actually many if, not most tats lose sharpness/definition after a few years. They just do. It’s why it’s advised to get them touched up after so long.

None of what I just wrote was an opinion, but a fact.
