Text of the page (random words):
re complete opposites of each other you re just using that to justify the bad thing so we re gonna have a witch hunt for people who know what words mean now if people try to do the whataboutism game with this i m going to i know there are exceptions that s not what this post is about pls 3 7 55 checkyourasianbias reblogged checkyourasianbias follow error swastikas aren t racist the hakenkreuz is mybrainthinks saying swastikas aren t racist the hakenkreuz is is like saying not all child predators are pedophiles some are hebephiles or ephebophiles the average person does not know the difference knowing the difference raises questions about the person who does not sure why asians white trans are being called out though checkyourasianbias the reason they don t know the difference is because they re ignorant at best and actively malicious at worst do you think that millions of people if not more who know what a swastika is wouldn t be able to call this out why do you assume that people who can differentiate between the two are more familiar with the infamous symbol with negative connotations is it so hard for you to believe people being aware of the symbol with positive connotations also i don t really get the context behind what the last sentence is referring to mybrainthinks are you seriously putting down the majority of people because they won t use your chosen term for a nazi symbol most people don t know the word hakenkreuz at best they know a swastika going one direction is bad going the other way is good it s sus knowing something like that reminds me of when someone was trying to defend child predators by asking people to not call them pedophiles but by those other weird terms as for context for my last sentence see the text above the graphic your user name checkyourasianbias it s not a chosen term bud did you know people are capable of doing remarkable things like learning new words especially from cultures you re unfamiliar with if a sacred eastern symbol is adopted by nazis to spread hate and violence shaming the symbol and spreading ignorance in the process people have a right to call it out especially when this reflects badly on them when other people changed the meaning of their symbol for nefarious purposes clearly you re not worth engaging in conversation with i vote for nominating you to the block list mybrainthinks the nazis are the ones who took the symbol twisted it be mad at them you can try to be mad at people who call that symbol a swastika but you ll end up being mad at most of the world how do you expect to educate people you so obviously despise checkyourasianbias this isn t so much a response to you but more like a general response because people should understand this you ll end up being mad at most of the world well yes i m so glad you get it 3 it is quite frustrating when much of the world is dismissive of you and tries to make it seem like it s not just a big deal because they d rather remain ignorant until it affects them maybe if you had more compassion for the people negatively impacted by nazis maybe you would be just as upset instead of trying to spin the blame on the wrong people do you not despise them hm why would that be the case i wonder poc don t have an obligation to like racist people either by the way my goal at least is to educate those willing to listen if you re not open minded you haven t even crossed the first step lol patience can only go a long way and as much as i credit where i am to those kind souls who were willing to be patient there s a whole idiom about leading horses to water but not being able to make them drink it mod mira d1 yapper 191 6 229 10 115 checkyourasianbias reblogged checkyourasianbias follow error swastikas aren t racist the

are you clearly older than you if you haven t been around long enough to have heard of a swastika before lol oh also i assume the poster means it s because white queer people on the internet tend to have a lot of white fragility and think they are incapable of being racist when they are also oppressed 191 6 229 10 115 checkyourasianbias reblogged checkyourasianbias follow permission to be mean a little bit checkyourasianbias i do urge you all to read the pinned post for general overview information when i free up a little bit i want to go back to one of my lesson plans regarding the treatment of asians in interracial relationships but it still has quite a few links an faq and even our cyab playlist to check out this goes for many things but i think some of you should have more patience and fully comprehend some of the posts responses on here before quickly responding or asking a question that could be answered by reading the full thing i m working on being more concise but i just have so much to say lol and this requires a lot of nuance that i do my best to deliver i don t want to come across as elitist i understand people have different experiences with reading and how they were taught but i think letting go of instant gratification and just have patience for the learning process it would help a lot use context clues and sometimes if we are not online just by reading the comments and observing how we phrase things you will get an answer to your question i distinctly remember one time someone sent in an ask and was like i felt really uncomfortable by the response that said exact opposite of my point but i could be misunderstanding like yes you totally missed the point on that one it s really frustrating because i spent a lot of time on that ask and others only for someone and likely more people who didn t send in an ask to say the exact opposite of what i said even when i was careful by using phrases like often not always this does not always mean this but it is very discouraging when answering asks with more detail because if i don t end up adding a bunch of distracting disclaimers then someone will be like you forgot to mention this no that s not always true again i want to work on this but it s a two way street you know sometimes people send in very well meaning asks that are along the lines of hey can you tell me how not to make an asian character racist or orientalist what is everything i should avoid thanks if it was something we could list out in quick bullet points in a single post why would we have a whole blog dedicated to this it s a really overwhelming question and it s like well where do we even start that s why mod teto is often urging for more specific questions so we can give you a more tangible answer because there s nuance in many of these situations lol if you can search it up on the internet and get a very clear cut answer then maybe it s not really a question you have to ask us yes you can have shy asian characters yes you can have smart asian characters but do you tend to make your asian characters remain in a certain niche why is that is there a wall or discomfort that stops you from making asian characters take up space in other fields like athletics a lot of what we try to do here is examine biases and that also requires patience you don t have to apologize or be upset with yourself if you have done or said these things already now you know it s not worth it to sit with the frustration for too long i wanted to put this out here to let you all know for future interactions with us and other blogs with similar goals mod mira d1 yapper 8 11 101 checkyourasianbias permission to be mean a little bit mod mira d1 yapper 8 11 101 checkyourasianbias reblogged checkyourasianbias follow error swastikas aren

because i know it s easy to get confused between the themes but it s been happening more recently for some reason this blog and this is orientalism are different so we ask you to consider whether or not your ask is fit for the appropriate blog so your submission is in the right place and answered more efficiently one is a this is blog that is more focused on confession type submissions and another is a more of a general education blog that is meant to be more in depth they both work in tandem and mod teto is highly involved with both submissions will of course overlap and we don t necessarily mind the posts being interchangeable but i think people are mixing them up and it would just be nice for them to be posted where they are meant to be nm this hasn t happened ever so maybe there s a bunch of new people idk for any future asks that seem to be meant for the other blog i m probably just going to tag the blog for one of the mods there to answer mod mira d1 yapper checkyourasianbias 5 1 56 checkyourasianbias anonymous asked what do you think of the character taffy from the movie lisa frankenstein she s more of a secondary character but she s the main character s stepsister and kind of subverts your expectations of her being a stereotypical popular mean cheerleader which i find fun i haven t noticed any nasty tropes regarding her she s canonly sexually active but it s treated in a decently normal way for a teenage character and is bubbly without really being like childish if that makes sense she s genuinely super likable but also her character definitely wasn t written with her asian identity in mind with the main indication of her being asian being the actress being filipina taffy s mom is white but as the actress is biracial i just read that as her dad was filipino and there s no reason given why the dad isn t in the picture either way i haven t watched the movie but as a rule of thumb for writers if your asian characters can be swapped out with white characters with no changes you re not writing enough representation asian identity into your stories in this case it sounds like this character fails this test asia asian asian

time people asked where i was from and i said china you could literally see the like interest leave their eyes oh i m not a cool asian japanese or now korean though this was before korean culture became so popular i m from the evil country do you get me i really do anon i truly do and i m so sorry that people think and feel that way the biases usually come out and don t stay hidden forever i know a lot of japanese people have negative experiences from non asians perceptions them but i ve also found similar experiences in how chinese people are dehumanized or not as romanticized usually in comparison to koreans being pure or youthful or innocent i found this really good video i didn t save because it was before this blog was even made but it mentioned a form of cultural appropriation within east asian groups the guest creator used douyin makeup as an example of in race cultural appropriation as a form of protection by imitating popular korean makeup styles because of how chinese people are mocked for their diet cuisine or their government or their presence in mainstream pop culture i don t know much about douyin makeup but that was the example she used this happens a lot btw usually one ethnicity is praised often because they fit eurocentric beauty standards more and other ethnicities are put down keep reading mod mira gets asks asia asian asian culture asian rights asian
