there's always a fair point to be made about people becoming fans of something from a country or culture they don't belong to and then being entitled and not understanding different little cultural contexts and it's always good to think about that and keep that in mind when you're in that position and yeah! You should try to learn and listen when you're the fish out of water! but it will never stop being bizarre to me when i see people just totally towing the line on bizarre shitty ideals because supposedly that's just whats normal in X place, okay? like yes I do enjoy a lot of Asian dramas, no I don't think it's okay to act like an actor having a drug problem or even just. yk. smoking weed for fun is a disgusting and heinous person? I don't think they should have their careers wrecked? Yes, a lot of countries have deeply entrenched colourism but that doesn't mean I'll shrug off a pop star saying dark skin is ugly or wrong because I fuckin well care about all the people who have dark skin hearing that bullshit? like yeah cultural ideals exist but sometimes they're WRONG. and BAD.
#also it frequently feels kinda racist or xenophobic to like.... pretend that every person in X place goes along with those ideals#like acting as if everyones a monolith is stupid to begin with#you can pretend people all tow the line and go along with bullshit but that doesnt make it true <3#idk man its just weird to see#like i always think about the video game fans i saw acting like one of the actors who was wiped from a game#bc he maybe recreationally used cocaine tho it was never even proven AND TURNED OUT TO BE A FRAME JOB?? TO OUT HIM?#guy got his whole life wrecked and then i see fans from the fuckin USA and UK be like#well yk thats just how it goes. they dont like drugs there all smarmily#Well I think it shouldnt go like that??? i think thats wrong??#literally any place on earth this could happen and i'd be against it <3#like maybe youre also just a shitty person and are pretending to support a different culture but really you just also agree#with dog shit behaviour lol
