Of course. No one can claim they never did.
The problem with all of this, is that its really shallow, stupid male posturing. The people who run his school seem very nice. I see them and other people from school at community events wearing their goofy t-shirts and karate pants board breaking and all that business. And that's all good, the people going there, that's their happy place for martial arts. If they wanted something different, they would go somewhere else. It's not like they live in a bubble and don't know what other martial arts are.
r/aznidentity definitely has it's issues when it comes to misogyny but it's literally the only Asian space where these "uncomfortable" discussions can take place. Otherwise any discussion relating to the very real issues of internalized racism and white worshiping within the Asian diaspora gets completely shut down in spaces like r/asianamerican.
It's no secret that I lurk r/ai, but I can't ever remember seeing a thread like that and lots of troll threads get deleted all the time. Most of the threads are about how shitty whites are to Asians.
However, I think it's important to that we make the distinction when talking about Asians being "racist" when it comes to this subject because that "racism" is really how anger directed at white supremacy manifests. Calling them "racist" implies that they hold equivalent power and privilege as whites, which we all know is false.
Now r/am? I can totally see how people view it as Asian incels/red pill.
I made a mistake by linking to /ai without fully understanding the subbreddit. To be honest I don't go there at all. I remembered seeing some criticism against serpentza in the comments of one of his youtube videos a while back so when a video of his popped up here i did a quick search and found that link which I later edited my post to include it. I should have been more careful. Some people on era now thinks i'm a terrible person.
For what it's worth, I don't think people who browse, read, and agree with a lot of the issues /ai mentions are terrible people.
I do think that there's a widespread attitude of misogyny that shouldn't be ignored. The subreddit isn't a bad subreddit per se; it's not like they try to dox people or whatever. But, it's definitely not exempt from the general sexism that pervades many online spaces.
IDK I just went to r/AI and scrolled through, and one of the first threads I saw was about some star of CRA dating a white person and how that makes her a terrible person/fake/worse. I think I can do without that in my life, thank you very much. I don't think people who view that sort of content are terrible people, but I do think that if you consume that as a constant part of your (media) diet then it can lead to you being somewhat of an angry and resentful person. Not everybody, but on average I think that happens.
The good thing is that we have the genes and biology to be strongest and fastest, (asides from certain Africans). It's why we dominate the Olympics despite having less effective population than Europe and not employing Africans for our track and field events. (By effective, I mean people who were wellfed growing up, which is not most of Asia.)

The bad thing is that our societies deincentivize the realization of these qualities; and we lack the dietary logistics to pump our people as full of protein as in Europe or America.
Thailand is a lost cause IMO. Only Northern China can save the racial ego of Asia. They're the complete and comprehensive counter to, (and overcoming of), the European Aryan ideal.
I think it's when you started talking 'bout your pee fetish.Sigh... another online dating fail from me. I thought we had something special there. Can someone tell me where I went wrong from the texts?
The entire thread is "Asian women that marry white men need to stfu." That's going to be a nope from me.
& the next hottest thread, which is even a "positive" thread, about the lack of Asian male representation in Glamour's sexy 100 list, isn't immune from weird "biotroofs" stuff.
I mean come on wtf.
This is some weird fucking machismo cave man shit. "strongest and fastest?" Who the fuck cares my god. At that point you might as well compare penis sizes as some sort of inherent azn pryde characteristic.

No, I get it. AI skews heavily towards the Asian male perspective although I've seen a few female posters contribute as well. Obviously I don't agree with everything they say cause they do say some crazy shit lol. But at the same time I do feel as an Asian male that they have some good content on there especially when it comes to using legitimate sociological case studies to discuss our place in western society. Stuff like that is interesting to me. I just simply don't see this type of deep discussion on r/asianamerican because everyone walks on eggshells due to the fear of getting banned. Now tbf that's probably cause they don't want it turning sour but it leaves for a very shallow discussion. But again, I don't blame you for being turned off of r/AI because they do say some crazy shit towards women 100%. It's just easier for me to ignore the misogyny and sexism to get to the good stuff because I'm a dude, however messed up that may sound.I think there is a place for it, but I disagree completely that it gets shut down in spaces like /r/asianamerican for no reason.
/r/aznidentity is loaded with misogyny and racism, and many of the posts reek of this. It's no wonder that those kinds of posts are shut down immediately in /r/asianamerican. Perhaps if people were able to have uncomfortable discussions without the racism and sexism, then thoes posts would be welcome in aa. IIRC, aznidentity was started by the same group of people of asianmasculinity, a pro-trump pro-red pill for asians place, and it certainly reeks of that.
I don't think it's okay to be so awful. There's no justification for it.
I lost all my appetite for /r/aznidentity when a thread was made where the poster (who was obviously a dude), said that he would "understand" (and sympathize) with Asian men that decided to pick up a gun and start shooting Asian women and white men that were dating each other, on account of seeing so many WMAF relationships.
And you know what? He didn't even get fucking called out for that shit. Completely unacceptable. When you say shit like that and don't even try to correct your own, then you're fucking gone to me.
I get there are problems with /r/asianamerican being very quick to delete/censor/ban (kind of like Reset), so this isn't excusing them. However, I have to say at the very least, I've never seen anything like that.
& btw, I have tried to be an active member of /r/aznidentity, but they WILL shadowban you if you start fighting against the sexism, misogyny, etc. It's 99% a circlejerk for how much they hate Asian women.
I mean come on wtf.

Yeah, nah that sounds like a garbage fire.IIRC, aznidentity was started by the same group of people of asianmasculinity, a pro-trump pro-red pill for asians place, and it certainly reeks of that.

What era thread?Thanks for clearing it up in your posts, I didn't know about the mysogyny stuff either. I don't know if people believe me but anyway, the reaction from that era thread was a bit much for me to take in. I'll be getting off era.
Her texts are really hard to read lol, I only read the first screenshot. :|Sigh... another online dating fail from me. I thought we had something special there. Can someone tell me where I went wrong from the texts?
EDIT: You're just making shit up about yourself and then demanding to see her tits. Or at least it reads that way?
I'm.... not sure if that's indeed her if you're just fucking around...
Hey man, weren't you generally complaining about this dating stuff? I thought you were being earnest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
.Hey man, weren't you generally complaining about this dating stuff? I thought you were being earnest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That is literally one step removed from what the 'fine folk' on /pol spend their time discussing in serious detail. It's good for a laugh though, because I can't imagine that somebody typed this out in seriousness.
Speaking of genes, I recently did 23 and me as an early Christmas present. It was pretty fun for me, since I'm super mixed to see what came out, so my sister and I had a fun time comparing our DNA with each other and our family. Highly recommended if you're interested.
I've always wanted to do one of those DNA test thingies but it seems too expensive from Australia... Hopefully the prices for them continue to go down.
I only want to do them to see relatives turn on each other and get petty about which side "tainted" the bloodline.
I'll be honest, African DNA will be better received than Japanese DNA.
I told my mom and she didn't mind, but there's no way in hell I'll tell my dad. He **hates** "the Japanese."
Why do our parents have to be so racist. Where is my panAsian identity. :<
I'm pretty sure there's more to it than racism when it comes to Asians hating Japanese. I mean, it is racism, but you know exactly where that hate comes from for better or worse.
