The Idols of K-Pop

Korean girl gets pissed after reading my article on Return of Kings.  I don’t mind people disagreeing with me or even thinking ill of me, but I don’t get how they think calling me names is going to improve anything.

In any case, I responded and my responses seem to have ended the discussion.  What’s really funny is that what I wrote about Korea made many readers decide that it’s not where they want to go for casual sex.  I fail to see how writings that discourage guys from pursuing casual sex with Korean girls would rile up a Korean woman.

And I really don’t understand why people decide that because they have some emotional reaction to something that someone else says or does that that other person must be the embodiment of evil. 

One time, I called up a girl I was dating and asked her if she had ever dated a celebrity before.  She flew off the handle and started cursing at me over the phone and telling me what an asshole I was to ask such a rude question.  Not surprisingly, I never called her again.

A few months later I ran into her and we went for food an drinks.  At some point she breaks down sobbing on my shoulder telling me how sorry she was for yelling at me that time and how (of course) it had nothing to do with me and that she acted like that because of something that she was going through at the time…my shirt, which she kindly washed, never recovered from the runny makeup she left that day.

Oh and also, he is an Asian fetishizing little shit who blogs about quality topics like How To Get Laid In South Korea, How To Touch Asian Women and 5 Reasons I Love Japanese Girls and You Should Too.

Please make this asshole suffer in whichever way possible.

Hey dude, racial fetishization is racism, it is not a compliment nor is it “culture" like you claim which makes no sense because Korean culture is not made up solely of Korean girls you “pick up". You are selectively reducing Korean culture to something that is convenient for you and that is not respecting “culture." You are doing the complete opposite.

I don’t think you’re realizing that having an Asian fetish is suggesting that all of us are the same, that we share some common denominator (cute, docile, exotic, whatever reason it may be) which completely disregards our culture so please stop with your culture excuse.

Instead of attacking on the assumption that someone is calling you out on personal experiences, how about you approach the real issue at hand at face value and stop denying your racist acts and know that this isn’t about you being a racist or “I don’t scream racism". It’s about you doing racist things. "It’s got nothing to do with you as a person and everything to do with the meaning of your action in the context of sociocultural history. [moniquill]" 

Asian women don’t owe you anything. Asian women aren’t sex objects. Asian women aren’t here for you to tally up how often you can get laid

We are human beings so fuck all your assumptions about us. 

“At most, if people who support yellow fever are called out, they erect a wall around it, calling it a personal issue that others have no right to comment on. Yellow fever reduces Asian women to just their race or nationality, attributing all attractive aspects about them to their race. Asian women are stereotyped to be submissive, exotic, and shy yet sexual objects to be dominated. Thus, the connection between the stereotype and the fantasies of sexual violence is apparent once you explore the implications of these ideas. [raf]”

And also, enough with your tone policing. Oppressed have every right to be angry and does not de-legitimize their argument. You, as a person of color, should know that.

“The bus takes off but then stops to pick up one more passenger, and Hak-chan runs up. This time, he gets on and walks straight to the back of the bus, with purpose. Why is that so swoony?

He sits down next to her! Squee.

She can’t stop crying, and he doesn’t know what else to do, so he just silently puts one earbud on… and then puts the other in her ear. Omg. He touched her without freezing up.

Sechskies’ “To You, the One I Love” starts to play (posted up above) and he just sits there next to her while she cries, without a word. It’s my favorite thing, in a show full of favorite things.

He digs out the tickets to Next and asks if she wants to go with him, and she admits she doesn’t like them. Ha. He promptly rips up the tickets and tells her to meet him in front of the mall tomorrow.

Hak-chan: “We’ll go do whatever you want to do. Not basketball. Not Next. What YOU like to do.” How could any girl on this planet not fall in love with you??
