u can actually tell if a writer had actually bother to research a country’s customs, etc if they’re writing a poc (in this case, east asian) character who lived there, sometimes it gets way off that i just close the tab and open weibo or pixiv to read sth from there instead
asian stereotypes implemented in medias kinda tell me : “yea i have no idea how yall are actually like, but hey, ppl speak the same things abt u guys very often so here u go bc surely they are not wrong :D”
it’s rly not that mind jarring to accept that there are more than hundreds of countries, like whats not clicking
THE ELITIST GETO :@&/&/@/,, i’ve seen at least 5 college/ modern au fics abt him being snobby and looking down on ppl....when that geto and gojou interaction with utahime is more than enough clue to his core personality that still remain even tho he gone rogue
sth i noticed abt the western part of a fandoms : it’s this impulsive behaviour to spoke on subjects (abt other countries) they know nothing abt and treat it as facts 😐 and i’ve seen a lot of hit posts reeking with saviour mentalities like yea...gtfo
and there are a lot ppl who cant accept other cultures bc they viewed it as “morally” wrong but when those ppl who are actually familiar with their OWN culture had tried to explain patiently that its not that way, they still scream abt how wrong it is ,, bitch if u dont stfu
unrelated but,, ngl i’m kinda,,, iffy whenever i saw anyone who is non-asian but represents themselves with an asian persona, some of us grew up with our names butchered on purpose and that we should take it as a joke whenever it happened, but u being able to take a random kr/ jp names, put it on ur dn is saying sth
but as a way of consolation, whenever westerners start being stupid on the tl,, i go over to my local fandom and use a keyword to see if they’re clowning yall (99% they’re calling yall an idiot) - 🐱
elitist geto makes me upset bc kindness is geto's defining trait. yeah he's cocky and I'm sure he was obnoxious at some point together with gojo but like...underneath that youthful swagger geto is such a kind person that it drove him to the point where he believed genocide was a viable plan to end the suffering of sorcerers. Like that's geto. Not this snobby pretentious dick 😭
Speaking of names....people were making fun geto's name for sounding and looking like "ghetto" ....once again....the racism.....
Also you're so right with the names!!! There's a disturbing number of people that aren't jpn/korean taking on jpn / korean names ....like my korean name literally got made fun of by kids and now those same kids are using korean names as an aesthetic for their online persona???? Or even worse RENAMING THEMSELVES??? It's racist. Point blank. They don't even know how much care and time go into selecting Japanese names. It's so ignorant and tone deaf it makes me want to tear out my hair.
