🔥 response tbh, people gotta stop pretending criticism happens in a vacuum.
I just spotted that thread today after work and couldn't bite my tongue. Good thing I didn't catch it earlier, I woulda gotten warned for the idiocy throughout that thread. At least (it seemed) a lot of other posters called out Kitsune's bullshit.Nah man.... This place fuckin sucks....
Pretty funny how you can just spew bullshit about the Chinese language without speaking it and continue to generalise 1 billion people on here
Still somehow the best place for us though which really just goes to show how dogshit the discourse is on the internet now
What really pisses me off is they think they're helping. They don't think this fuck china, winnie-the-poo shit is going to be trumpeted by the state propaganda arm as being an attack on the concept of being Chinese? The CCP is probably fucking salivating at this sudden transferrence of anti Chinese-government shit into the mainstream western consciousness because the kernel of xenophobia at its core is easily transformable into a blown up parody version of itself. It's proof they hate us, they'll say. It's certainly fucking proof that nobody stops for two seconds to try and actually understand issues and jumps into the first most tempting narrative that comes along.
Not hard to be disillusioned with the absolute fucking idiocy being sprayed around from the mouths of white liberals who seem really intent on stoking the racial hatred of another yellow peril.
I think they're so enamored with the concepts of "punching up" or "punching down"--that racism is strictly linear.That's because they haven't all decided that yellow peril is bad yet. Most of them have no idea what racism is, or how it presents differently across minorities.
If you get banned for that thread, I will flip the fuck out and call the mods out on their anti Asian bias. We'll get banned together.
Hi my asian peeps. Thank you for bringing to attention what I've been feeling at ERA for a while.. especially with all the anti-chinese sentiments that is coming up more frequently due to the issues going on w/ China. I mostly lurk, and maybe have posted some food pics in this thread, but just wanted to come out of the shadows now in support of ya'll. I thought that maybe I'm being too sensitive and paranoid, but I see now that others are feeling the same.

Originally pulled from a girl gaming subreddit laughing at men that complain about pandering to women/sjw in videogames.
Yet oddly appropriate here.
Slight food intermission. I think Boba guys might be my favorite boba joint for the time being. Strawberry matcha latte w/ boba sounds like it wouldn't work but it so does..nice QQ boba...tart and sweet strawberry juice initially, creamy smooth texture and a slight matcha finish to reset the palette w/ every sip. If this is all wrong, then I don't want to be right.
All the boba I've tried around Cal has just been so disappointing. The actual boba is decent- qq and usually not too sweet.My wife likes them, too. Me, less so, as I find their selection of just plain ol' teas lacking.
Surprising, honestly. How was your trip :)The strawberry matcha latte is fine, but generally I find Boba Guys' stuff to be too watered down.
I just got back from a week in Taipei and a week in Tokyo though. It's crazy how much boba has taken off in Japan since last year. So many boba shops now.
So this is where some of the lovely faces (avatars?) I've seen in recent threads gather…
I usually don't get on the Etcetera side but it's been hard to not notice all these bs under the disguise of hypocritical slogans.
TrailerParkRanger Thank you for creating the thread.
And Pet Prax those are amazing posts you've made.
It was great. I took a lot of food pictures but I don't want to make people hungry here lol. Went to the Pokemon Go Safari Zone in New Taipei City. Taipei has a new Breeze building next to Taipei 101 which just feels expensive lol. Tokyo was basically all eating and visiting shrines. I think I walked close to 10 miles a day for the past 2 weeks.
I will say that boba in Japan is expensive. 500-700 yen easy. Basically the same price as the US. It's just sad that it's so much more expensive compared to Taiwan which is easily less than half the price.
Well it's the most expensive compared to other places in Asia. Even in Hong Kong boba prices aren't that much. Kind of makes it not worth it especially since even the lower chains like Chatime are that expensive and full of long lines. There's like a boba shop on almost every block now.
Yeah, the pickings here are slim.All the boba I've tried around Cal has just been so disappointing. The actual boba is decent- qq and usually not too sweet.
But, the milk tea component... :(. Half the time I don't even GET boba in my drinks. I want a decent milk tea!!!
I found one Ten Ren in Cupertino.Oh damn. I was hoping you were going to tell me I had just been trying awful places, and that you had a bunch of recommendations for me.
:(
Yeah the latest trendy stuff hitting Toronto border on dessert milkshakes rather than tea. Which is weird considering how a lot of us are lactose intolerantThe ones I actually like going to around the bay area are probably Asha Tea House, Tiger Tea, Yifang (not that this really counts), Search Tea, iTea, and a couple others just for a quick fix. I do think a lot of places focus too much on sweetness rather than actually being able to taste the tea though.

I checked to see who you were talking about, but turns I already had him on ignore from ages ago.I don't know why you guys keep engaging that loser in that thread. He's clearly only interested in having his own dumbass opinions validated

They better considering they're Chun Shui Tang's brand.
It's in uh... Cupertino or Sunnyvale I think.Where is TP Tea?
Bay Area is the only place where there are regular, one-hour queues for boba (and freaking everything).
