Florida man stumps neighbors by covering home in aluminum foil

TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. - Polish artist and Tarpon Springs resident Piotr Janowski recently covered his home, including the concrete driveway and the surrounding palm trees, in sheets of aluminum foil.

I’m so angry right now - there is this girl on instagram and she’s stealing ics, drawings and manips from a lot of Fannibals I’ve met here on tumblr and she just won’t stop. She simply cuts off the signature.

So far she stole from @flyingrottenhannistag , @adaptedevolvedbecame.tumblr.com/ , @lazywerewolf.tumblr.com, @spielzeugkaiser.tumblr.com/, @the-walking-fannibal.tumblr.com, and myself… just to name a few.

A bunch of them came to our Koreatown today in full cosplay - girls were wearing “lolita” style dresses, traditional Japanese clothing, etc. That’s not bad on it’s own, but when you go into a place with a ton of Koreans dressed in Japanese street fashion when there is a ton of anti-Japanese sentiment in Korean (even Korean diaspora) communities because of Japanese imperialism, people are not going to be happy.

And I get that most people don’t know this, and I’m not going to blame them for their ignorance. But then they started walking around and speaking butchered Japanese to random Korean people and acted like we were some sort of fucking zoo animals. At one point someone called a little Korean girl “kawaii” and said “ahaha I’m her senpai!!” when the little girl waved.

Then they went into the Korean coffee shop, said loudly, “LOOK AT ALL THE JAPANESE SNACKS!” (even though… there aren’t any Japanese people… within a 15 mile radius…) and pestered the poor workers with their butchered Japanese/English and complained when they said they didn’t speak Japanese.

It’s just. Why the fuck would you do that?? Why would you go somewhere with a lot of non-Japanese Asians, do racist shit like lumping all of us with Japanese people and exotifying us as if we’re some sort of interesting exhibit in a museum of “magic fuckery”, and make US feel awkward and wrong in a place MEANT FOR US?

You’re not exempt from this.

If you’re going to call yourself a weeaboo, you don’t get to reblog this post with a pitiful excuse and a “but I’m not racist so it’s okay to use it!!”/”it’s for irony!!” The term weeaboo is associated with cultural appropriation, racism, exotification, fetishization, orientalism, yellowface, infantilization, dehumanization and a shit ton more. You don’t get to use it and then claim you’re not “one of THOSE people” because even if you aren’t directly harming us you’re still normalizing a word that racists use. You’re associating yourself with these racists and that can make people think this kind of behavior is acceptable.
