Hi guys, it's been a while!
This semester has been a bit busy for me, but I'm almost finished. Once that happens, I have some plans I'd like to put into action.
During my 2nd semester, I'll be very free. Which means I'll probably be posting much more than before. But also! I've been cooking up a script for a YouTube video about what jirai-kei really is.
For the sake of both girly and jirai communities, I want to make it clear on what the difference between these terms are. Only so many people use Tumblr, and I still see influencers on Instagram and Tiktok misusing jirai-kei as a term, still labelling it as a fashion style rather than its actual definition. If I were to spread this message on a larger platform, then hopefully more people could learn about this situation.
I've been doing lots of research on this topic, and I plan to even add some other points on East Asian fetishization/glorification, since that has heavily influenced the popularity of the landmine fad in Western countries.
What do you guys think? Let me know!
