Asian ERA |OT| We don't AGE
- Thread starter Pet
- Start date
Yes, that MisoHawni thread seemed to be getting out of hand when I took a peek in there.
In regards to the discussion about purity tests among Asian activists, I think it's not anybody's place to tell anybody who they can or cannot date. Finding somebody you are compatible with is hard enough, screw anybody trying to guilt people into dating (or not dating) somebody based on some arbitrary line somebody has drawn in the sand. Anybody who thinks otherwise isn't really being real, they just want more dates.
Agreeee I think the Asian-American man's gotta sometimes put themselves in the reverse shoes. If every other plethora of flavor wants your sausage you know damn well it's a high probability you'd be in a pasta or jambalaya. Yet you can still be president of the Asian business club right? ;) Btw the best way to emasculate the Asian man is just being a badass all on your own, and that does not come with complaining about other people's dating choices.
Wow I didn't realise how shitty people were to asians here jesus christ
I can't wait until I see my first "Chinese culture discourages creativity" argument here
Of course not gonna stop em from slobbering all over Asian girls

I knew things were going to go down the bidet. Not for me. Good on y'all who remained in there though.
I caved in..... I bought some Cub Food's Sushi and I enjoyed every bit of it. No shame in shitty sushi, lol.

I bet it's gonna be instant noodles and you're gonna have some dude be like "This is the best ramen I've tasted ever"
This reminded me of Andrew Zimmern and how he always exaggerates his reactions to foods he's had from every place he's been to.
Yeah, despite the size of the casual racism defense force, I do think that some users had their eyes opened a bit. It's a shame the thread is locked.

Worst part was no punishment or warnings either.
Asians continue to be the door mat on personal issues.
Yeah the only person that was warned was the person making fun of the racist.
lol, not sure if *this* is sarcasm or not. Nah, your post was fine.
Not one person was even warned for casual racism in there though, at least from what I saw. What's the point. Basically "this thread is getting out of hand, shutting it down before somebody reveals their full blown racism in here" rather than warning people their casual racism is not okay and could be subject to a future ban.
So next time something similar pops up, same thing will happen again.
Meh, thread was going to turn into a shitfest anyway.
It's a bad name, we'll run into this, it is what it is.
I assume warnings are for malicious intent, not oblivious idiocy. Which, you know, is basically a crime for us Asians but it's not fair to try and measure white people on that standard... just look at US schools ;) lol. (omigod I'm so racist against white people halp!)
I am realllyyy tired of the whole making fun of Asian accent thing though. How do people NOT realize it's racist yet.

your sarcastic post flew over some of our fellow forum posters' heads :(
Goddamn that restaurant thread. No surprises there.
Late to the party, but this phenomenon isn't uncommon in that particular field and it hasn't changed in the 30 years that I've been involved in it tangentially. In my experience, this was became more common in the 80's. I sure as hell see more Asian makes with non-Asian women in general now, but it's still weird when it's the other way around. I don't know if you've seen The Joy Luck Club movie, but there are only 2 redeeming Asian guys in that movie...one doesn't even have any lines. You can see a lot of stereotypes of how Asian men are in that movie repeated by Asian/Asian American women that swear off Asian guys.

Not sure if you saw my post about clean slates, but a lot of people that felt stiffled in the old forum feel free to spout nonsense here. No warnings in that thread either.

Sarcasm is my default mode. Sometimes it bites me in the ass cause I don't bother putting the /s. I'm guessing someone reported me.
sometimes it derails thingies
i love sarcastic humour ngl but it does sometimes derail thingies cuz others arent in on the context of who's who saying what
there will be other topics, im sure, where we can fight the good fight again. casual racism is still racism and a lot of people still needs to be educated on how hurtful it can be.

My hot take is the next casual racism is another locked thread.
You need to set a precedent here.
I know the forum is still new and finding it's identity, but that thread was a shit show. I don't see how the next thread will be any different.
Heya Asia Era.
Never posted much in Asian thread of the old forums, and will try to participate as much as possible in the new Asian thread.
Currently in HK right now and the FOOOOOD is great. The vegetables are so good compared to what we have in AU.
Choi Sum, Gai Lan and snow pea sprouts are soo good here.
Anyways nice to meet you all.

That thread is an awful precedent. So many people failing to comprehend that mocking someone's accent to make a shitty sex joke is racism. 0 warnings. Not for racism. Not for drive-by's. Not for derailing.
On the bright side, I did enjoy this poster's lack of self-awareness, even if he doesn't.

did you report any particular problematic posts?
usually at least a warning or a mod presence would be sent out if there's pings on the report console. like how i was mod-signaled to hermit's sarcasm since seems that people genuinely thought he was being a racist against other asians (like the reporters were good people looking out for us, asians, and ended up reporting hermit instead)
No, I forgot there was a report button on this forum. I'll do it next time, though.
Haha is that why?
And yeah I assume most reports will be people looking out.
But TBH I personally find it really hard to want to report anything unless it's explicitly malicious and the poster knows as such.
Ignorance doesn't warrant a warning to me, it warrants correcting. Even if they chose to ignore that, then it's just them being stupid.
Can we report people for being stupid :>
I'm just going to call it concern trolling and let the mods decide.
Yep. I will fully admit, if I didn't check your post history, I wouldn't have known the right context.
The Jackie Chan one was just as hilarious with that one poster going on a rant about China being a police state and how Chinese people need to have their mind freed like they're jacked into the Matrix or something.
Yes, the Chinese government has done some fucked up things...no they are not a democracy. Not having freedom of speech does suck but at the same time, pulling such a large population out of poverty is impressive on its own. The way I see it, here in the US ...those in power use freedom of speech and the fear of losing it in order to distract the majority of the population from the huge growing wealth disparity. Whereas in China, the government has improved its citizens' standards of living greatly but at the great expense of personal liberties.

Thanks for letting us know and hearing us out. Means a lot to have a mod speak up about how things are done here.
Mmmm... I think it can be done differently without suppressing people's rights, so I won't give them that much credit. But yeah, I can't help but see America as a failing democracy right now.
Lol speaking of China...
Thanks wandering for clarifying.
Like seriously you'd think that people would realize we can see right through all this pretending to give a shit about the issue. It's like watching a bunch of Republicans pretending to give a shit about the woman when being anti-choice. "Fuck abortion it causes women to be stressed and upset. We hate abortions, go free, easily accessible mental health clinics!"
Bitch pleaseeeeeeee.
Why are there so many idiots in the OT section?
Admittedly, I haven't visited that area since my own (very, very bad) experiences from a few days ago, but it sounds like a complete cesspit over there.

So, finally left "the other site" and posting in here to re-sub. ABC (Aussie-born Chinese) represent!
Good to see you guys again!
