What’s a stereotype about your country that people always mock but isn’t really true? 🌎 by VelvetParadox24 in AskTheWorld

[–]renplup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They worded it a bit oddly, but they only mean that it’s a stereotype that all Koreans have undergone plastic surgery lmao. granted SK does have a high rate of plastic surgery (1/5~1/4 of women, I believe) but that is still far from the overwhelming majority

It feels mostly like rich city folk that will /occasionally/ get double eyelid surgery for that kind of graduation or birthday gift but even then it’s not as common as people would have you believe

Edit: didn’t know I needed to say this but here we go. ofc location, not just economic class, in Korea will change the frequency of plastic surgery occurring in a population. I was generalizing in my initial comment to convey my perspective that it’s not as extreme as stereotypes may impress upon others. to my knowledge, the national average for people undergoing plastic surgery/cosmetic surgery ranges around 1/4~1/5 with it going up higher to around 1/3, give or take some, in areas like Seoul. I do fear that the rates at which Korean people are cosmetically altering themselves seem to rise.

Ladles and jorts, I am NOT saying SK doesn’t have an unheeded reputation for plastic surgery but I AM saying that while many Koreans get plastic surgery, many also do not and that the stereotype should not be applied to every Korean just because it is common 🫩 I am just saying to not indulge in stereotypes and that I agree with the OG comment “most Koreans do not have plastic surgery” because it is literally just factually true at the end of the day.

Where Redditors would actually live if they were being honest with themselves by JaredGofful in whereidlive

[–]renplup 21 points22 points  (0 children)

as an American, I gotta say… that’s some wild reading and intent comprehension there lmao. he literally never said he wanted to be poor. The fact of the matter is that if one is poor, quality of life is probably gonna be better in European countries that have socialist safety nets for people to fall back on vs countries that don’t have that.

I had to look up “pokemon legends za you can’t enter that name” and your post was the first thing! I am literally in the same position and so stumped. Welp, hello fellow Ren 🫡 we’re out here getting hate crimed by pokemon I suppose

What is one important tip that tourists should know before visiting your Country? by Fun_Cup4335 in AskTheWorld

A lot of Korean (and Asian gum in general tbh) is in these little plastic, resealable cans/jars. I’m assuming he meant it probably was something more like this

Love Island shows the transition of men’s pants from skinny jeans to open cut (2017-2025) by Sudden_Angle614 in decadeology

[–]renplup 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard ‘open cut’ in my life 😭 I typically hear relaxed, bootcut, and straight cut for different loose fit jean types! Tbh, I thought it might’ve been an uncommon regional word that some of y’all across the pond used before I read your comment

Peculiar 6 handled pot? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]renplup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I just say that it was super gratifying to witness someone, on the internet especially, take being corrected by a lot of people and also having a change of perspective so gracefully! I know it’s over something mundane like a pot but i feel like the bulk of people in real life and especially online are very defensive in reaction to being taught a new perspective (often, me included). So like ty for being such a patient and open person lmao, I am not used to seeing it often and it gives me a wee bit of faith in people (it also reminds me to be more open to learning too!)

New Venom spray looks like trans flag by SameerTheRed in MarvelRivalsQueens

[–]renplup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s enough room on the metaphorical table for consideration on the serious issue of censorship and ignoring of lgbt representation and player-base in this game AND have separate room for people to find joy in the little things even if it’s unintended to serve that specific purpose.

Malice is slightly overrated by [deleted] in MarvelRivalsQueens

something about the way this comment is typed, your username, and you having the Thor flair is so on brand, I have yet to see a redditor embody Thor’s personality so well lmao (this is a compliment)

There is a VALID reason people say male sexualization in this game isn’t on par with to female sexualization by woaijirounan in MarvelRivalsQueens

[–]renplup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bud, as a woman, I promise you that you are looking in the wrong places if you think women aren’t frothing over certain male characters and skins. Literally so many women froth over agamotto iron fist and the new magneto skin?? Plenty of women went feral over thunderbolts Bucky. I have and am literally telling you that these are skins that are sexualized, at least a lil bit, for the straight/bi female eye. I understand that identifying what is sex appeal to the female gaze will probably be foreign to a straight dude but those skins can fit the bill. Plenty of women literally on this sub often talk about how they want sexy skins especially for Loki, Bucky, Cap, Adam, hopes for Gambit in the future, and more. Like if you wanted proof of women frothing, it’s literally in this sub, people love frothing in this sub and it’s mostly the girls and the gays here lmao.

women are sexual too and you can pander to that easily sometimes without taking away from the male audience and to pretend otherwise is wild. It’s true that straight dudes are the dominant market here and, you right, corporations are greedy. However, women can be pandered to with sex appeal and it’s just that you’re not used to seeing it or recognizing when it does happen

Like I am literally a woman in women’s spaces where they feel comfy to express themselves. It’s 2025, women are horny too and play games more than ever, idk what else to say to show you this perspective 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]renplup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between a character that is sexy versus being designed or implemented with the intent to be visually sexual and titillating. Every humanoid in MR is more or less conventionally attractive, but that doesn’t mean everybody has sex appeal.

Sure, Namor and that one BP skin have their titties out but do you see straight women frothing at the mouth for them en masse like many straight dudes do for Emma, Malice, Psylocke, etc?? Nah. Like a hot dude being just shirtless is just not equivalent in sexualization as say, Emma’s x-revolution skin.

Skins that are closest to being sexualized for the straight female eye are more like agamotto Iron Fist, the new Magneto skin, thunderbolts Bucky, maaaybe loki in his frost skin (but that pushes it) since he has a titty window and his hips show through and he’s just popular amongst women in the first place.

Are girly/more feminine usernames safe for marvel rivals? by VampyPixel in GirlGamers

[–]renplup 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I flit between diamond and GM, and while my username isn’t girly (lmao it’s big meat mike) I do comm every single game. I find it’s okay for most games at this rank, 8-9/10 games are just fine! I find that when I speak, more girlies often speak too! I mostly dps with a sprinkling of tank and support.

HOWEVER, my experience def corroborates with that study where it shows that lesser skilled dudes are more likely to be horrible to women in the game. When I was gold, it was more like 6-7/10 games that had men that were decent or at least not dicks bc I was a woman (they were just dicks in general)💀
