every time i see white people on here who interact/are fans of asian media (in particular east asian media), then decide to treat people of color in these spaces as their [1] Get Out Of Racism Card because i follow this blogger or [2] think that said blogger is the authority on all issues??? and [3] proceeds to act not only bizarrely but inappropriately in regards to various east asian cultures as if said white person actually would know MORE than an asian blogger in regards to their own heritage is well.........i must laugh.

#it's so abhorrent. #i was very briefly in the mdzs fandom — i would even hesitate to say that in that i only liked talking about the show with my mutuals #but the things that i have seen as a result from that tag alone and likewise #other danmei/cdrama things that crop up on my dash because my mutuals are horrified by it well. #so fucking sick to death of you white people waltzing in thinking you know jackshit about asian cultures #the way you people treat and infantilize asian men and asian characters #the way that every so often posts like this pop up in these circles and yet all of you people ignore the words and comments of ACTUAL #fans of color and instead prop up white voices. it's sickening. #the way you use chinese culture to then prop up your own disgusting views regarding p*dophilia and i*cest and saying things like 'well this #is normal in the chinese fandom/in china' when VARIOUS chinese bloggers have said it's not and that you're just utilizing #progressive language in saying 'well if you criticize this work for being pedophilic/incestual/depicting X or Y positively then you're #racist against asian people' like. oh my god. do you hear yourself? #oh. this isn't about anything in particular i just. i don't know. #thought about how much im glad im no longer as active in cdrama spaces #because i don't have to deal with fetishists and racists. #but also im kind of sad because i remember being SO overjoyed by how much i adored the untamed and how even though i'm korean and not #chinese it was something that resonated with me to an extent....
