for being a japanese website, picrew sure has a lot of character creators that seem to have no idea what actual asian ppls eyes look like??? there'll be 100% non-anime style picrews that switch their style entirely for the asian eye types to look like smth straight out of naruto or w/e. come the fuck on.

sharing the word aiyo may just be a coincidence between india and china but me personally i think they should kiss

[tertiaryapocalypse]

regarding the post i reblogged on queering the map it's genuinely so meaningful to me that there's at least a small handful of stories in china. even if half of them are from visitors or people who moved out.. chinese queer people exist and are here and are loved. chinese lesbians fall in love at volleyball practice, chinese gay men hope to bring their husbands back to their family. chinese bisexuals have their first realizations, chinese queers have their first kiss. in the country that i come from but am so distances from by political tension and language and upbringing, queer people live. queer people are happy.

Pretty sure the music is either a reference of/an actual track from "A Bite of China", a food documentary series on the diverse multi-faceted food culture of China. It was super popular back in 2010s and was basically considered a cultural staple for introducing people to Chinese cuisine! I grew up watching it, the motif 30 seconds in is so iconic I'd recognize it anywhere, it basically trained a Pavlovian response out of me to start salivating now XD

You can watch the first and second season of the dubbed version of the show on Youtube! Super fun watch :]

I need your help with a hypothesis!

For context: My linguistics professor and I got into a discussion after a test she did with us, and I was of the opinion that the reason for the results was different from the one she offered, so she encouraged me to test my theory.

What I need

All you need to do is draw a coffee cup (with a handle, not the disposable stuff) and then answer three questions.

I don't need to see the coffee cup. You can draw it wherever you like; on a piece of paper, digitally, in the sand, on a foggy window. Anything works. It does not have to be good. A doodle is fine.

You have to draw the coffee cup before you see the questions. This is very important. If you decide to help me with this, please doodle the coffee cup before you keep reading.

Assuming you have drawn the coffee cup, I now need you to answer these three questions:

On which side did you draw the handle?

Are you right-handed or left-handed?

Do you primarily write using the Latin alphabet or a different one? (please specify which)

More context

Most people will draw the handle on the right side. My professor says it's because most people are right-handed, so they draw the handle in the direction that would be comfortable for them to pick up.

I said drawing it on the right side just felt more comfortable to my hand and argued it's probably because we write a bunch of letters like that. B, b, D, P, p, R all look like a tiny "handle on the right side" and are all a straight line followed by a round one (so "cup first, handle second," like most people draw cups). The Latin alphabet doesn't have letters like that that face the other way, except maybe d, depending on how you write it, so it makes sense to me that people writing mostly Latin letters would go with the handle on the right side.

Which means that I need to know what Asians, Arabs and Greeks do and if the distribution of left and right sides of handles differs from the Latin alphabet group. Cyrillic seems to favor right, too, though it'd be interesting to see if there are differences.

If there are, my theory is right. Doubly so if there is a sizeable increase in a group whose alphabet has letters that benefit the left side choice.

So feel free to spread this to as many people as you like and put the answers in the comments or the tags of a reblog. The more answers I get, the better I can assess whose theory is better.

Thank you for your help!

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

Having fun with Link Click season 3

Maybe you think this needs a spoiler tag, but I'm sorry if you got into a series about time travel tragedies with a codependent same-sex friendship and DIDN'T expect the twist that all series like that have, that's on you.

So. My Chinese History prof just stopped in the middle of his lecture, stared at all of us, and just asks "Does anyone here listen to The Magnus Archives?" and proceeded to use TMA and Smirke's 14 *TO EXPLAIN NEO-CONFUCIANIST THOUGHT DURING THE SOUTHERN SONG.* When I tell you I jumped I'm?????????????????
