The problem with saying "Asians are fetishized" is that EVERY race is fetishized. Every body feature is fetishized. Small tits? Fetishized. Big tits? Fetishized. Black? Fetishized. White? Fetishized. Asian? Fetishized. Wear glasses? Fetishized.
No matter who you are, there's SOMEOME fetishizing you.
It's almost what is being fetishized is not the problem everyone has a preference. It's the objectification that's the problem and not seeing another person as a whole human with agency.
Where's the line, like initial attraction is kind of - by definition always limited in it's understanding of "the other".... Whether that's a woman finding a fatherly figure attractive, or a gay guy finding a bear attractive, or someone finding an Irish accent hot...
They're all empty slates we project onto, it's only later that we learn about the human beyond those characteristics. Then we find out they're kind of a horrible person, and that's the end of that.
One of these days I'll open one of these threads and not see the tech obsessed weeaboo mens rights activists trying to justify treating women as sex objects.
Not today sadly.
I was like "surely it's not that bad", figuring on a couple/three nOt AlL mEN commenters.
Alas no, a whole thread of "everyone fetishizes someone" bs.
No, you slap dicks, it's possible to "have a type" without objectifying people. Do you even know what objectifying is? Can you understand the difference between attraction and viewing another human as an object that only exists for your gratification?
I think part of it is just life inexperience, combined with parents being afraid of having honest conversations with their kids about sexuality, attraction, and respect. I know I had a LOT of growing to do as a young man. I greatly appreciate the friends I had that called me out on my bullshit. I'm also glad my shyness kept me from outright chode behavior as a youth. I could've been very harmful in different circumstances. Not intentionally, but harmful nonetheless
I am heartened that so many in this thread are calling out the foolishness. I just hope the boys listen
Remember, if anyone is ever attracted to you, they must be fetishising you!
The more your relationships are about appearance, the less you can know about yourself and them since you are certain to not chase a partner to be a trophy among other effects
It's not about being a "trophy". I just want to be with someone that I'm physically attracted to, and who is physically attracted to me. I don't think that's unreasonable. Obviously we need to have compatible personalities/interests beyond that but it is a big factor.
You choose how big. Once you are mature or old, you realise how little it means
You don't choose that. It's different for everybody.
That's like saying people choose whether or not to be gay or bi versus being straight.
If you aren't attractive or attracted to someone the couple will not be happy. That's what you're deciding for others. Condemning some to be alone forever.
If you don't want to, you don't need to focus on that. You can also adjust how much. Personally I get energy from being attracted and attractive, but I don't control what others choose.
I don't even know what point you're trying to make. Not everybody is going to be attractive to every other person.
My gf and I are both attracted to each other, but there's many people (millions, even) who would find neither of us attractive. Those people aren't obligated to potentially date us just because it might make us sad that they're not attracted to us.
In these days it's often hard for Americans to understand. Forcing, or saying others cannot or should not do x, is completely unnecessary when it's something they do in private. I know you have trouble with the arguments and that's because there is no existing valid argument for why you should not choose yourself how much appearance means to you. you. Not others. What is your preference may not be others, and it's possible (believe it or not) to allow others to be off doing their preference. You don't have to kill kids or anything in schools before you act, you can already right now choose, but only for you! Mind you! Only for you, and not for another. You may not choose how much another wants that or force others to want to have your marriage, or exit theirs. It can be confusing but it is possible to do this without slaughtering children and deporting workers that don't have your skincolor. You can do it
wat
What is your preference may not be others
Friend, you have been the one arguing against this notion. This is why you're being so nonsensical.
Further, bringing nationality into it is weird, and your condescension is uncalled for. If you can't even stick to a coherent message, let alone attempting to do so without being rude, then you're not worth interacting with.
Nope, I said my pref, your line of argument is yours and everyone. Why are you backtracking that now? Impossible to argue with something like that. I can keep to a message and that is that you said everyone have to do as you like. I pointed out that it is a choice. It continues like this. And nowadays I am so worried about fucking Americans because you are half of you sycophant fanatics that are on the verge of starting to kill people. You can very easily be one of the emotionally wounded berserkers that are marching along in lockstep with the mass psychosis around your senile god emperor. It's scary. I think you understand anyway and are just too ego to take responsibility for anything, just like your leader. Sorry. It's fucking scary. You seem to joke but when the killings begin it will not be fun over there either
The author of this comic is missing the fact that everything and everyone is fetishized. Rule34, anyone? Everyone has a think they're really into. If you live Asians then you shouldn't be scolded for it, nor feel bad. I like latinas, my wife is Latina, and fuck yeah are we each others fetish and happy about it!
I feel this author is one of those "I'm angry at everything and everyone, and it's everyone's fault except mine" types.
Everyone is free to have their kinks. They are not free to objectify people over them.
I hate long-winded, not funny comics.
Yeah... Empathy is hard.
