Is Aegyoknits korean?

There's a knit patternmaker who I see is gaining a lot of popularity recently- Aegyoknits, whos patterns are titled after Korean words and their entire brand is very Korea (aegyo!) BUT to my knowledge they aren't Korean? Any information about why their brand is Korean is very vague.

They seem to be a Finnish woman in Finland and if that's true that is super appropriative and exploitative. I would love to be wrong, and if anyone else knows more about it let me know but this is a super egregious thing that I see nobody mention despite aegyoknits becoming popular.

Screenshots of their site and social media under the cut:

also that reposted image of a Korean person who made their green sweater is the ONLY Korean person on their instagram. The person in the grey argyle sweater is the creator of Aegyoknits.

Dragon age is back, I love going in the tags it's awful. Emmrich is enslaving Manfred, wanting to fuck spite makes you a pedo, Taash is child coded, Killing Harding is racist and more to come I'm sure

Being a Wicked fan whose favourite characters are Boq and Nessarose is so hard because for a fandom for media so focused around the idea of complex morality, a lot of Wicked fans seem to have no understanding of complex morality and as a result so many of them fail to grasp the idea that "Boq did not deserve anything that Nessa did to him in act 2 and it is in no way his fault" and "Nessarose was not inherently and irredeemably evil from the start" are both true statements. So basically I'm trying not to participate in Wicked discourse at least until Wicked Part 2 comes out and I see more of their relationship in the movie.

Uh, context?

someone said people calling themselves bi lesbians are the reason lesbians get sexually harassed by straight men in bars and it was so painfully cruelly stupid and victim blaming that i saw red. and then i was like you know what fuck y'all, I'm not staying in this tar pit, because twitter had already been making me miserable for a while

can y'all stop showing me people gossiping about me behind my back. it's rude that they're doing it in public, but it's their business what they think of me & I don't want to see that either.

we're in such a strange era where men will just casually wax poetic for several paragraphs in mainstream media outlets about how john and paul were in love with each other but no one dares to explore the real questions (were they having gay sex? when were they having gay sex? what kind of gay sex were they having?) mate you're a journalist, do your job

really interesting phenomenon of people getting. mad? that dream is listening to their favorite artists anyways this is my favorite part

[francy-sketches]

no I dont think thats true

if i had to guess fundy is crossed off probably due to the “racism” drama of 2021/2022, which people never rlly seemed to get over despite it being unfathomably stupid <- being a fundy fan is a curse that never full leaves

SEE THE THING IS i also considered a bunch of stuff that fundy got in trouble over but i cannot fathom him being crossed out but not like. schlatt or michael or even h if that’s the case. the tweet’s tone very much has a “people that have been canceled SINCE then” because there is something very specific about crossing off connor but not schlatt

in your 30s and still running a phan twitter account is crazy... i hope dan and phil come to their senses soon

the amount of tme trans people who are very obviously deeply envious of trans women because they [very regressively] view them as like. "someone whose queerness™ [and specifically queer masculinity, effeminacy, 'faggotry'] is taken seriously ie. as a threat and an inescapable facet of their being" is so prevalent on here. many many tme trans folk on this site functionally pretend to be trans women up to (and sometimes including) just blatantly lying about their cagab, coopting language and aesthetics, identifying as characters that are very obvious transmisogynistic caricatures, etc. like its very obvious that a lot of the deeply transmisogynistic genderfuck dykefags on here with these hard red text on black background MCR horror gore aesthetic blogs truly just envy the fact that trans women face a specific kind of violence that (in the eyes of these people) validates their desire to be seen as Threatening and Tough and Legit and Masculine instead of like. an introverted brunette with short hair whose family misgenders them. they want to be able to wear eyeliner and look like gerard way and be he/him'd so they turn to trans women as this fetishistic "goal" because their perception of trans women is "someone who wears eyeliner but still gets he/him'd." this is of course aligned with the way so many of them make broad sweeping generalizations about how its impossible for GNC trans men to pass (untrue) and of course doubles back around to barefaced transmisogyny 100% of the time because the accepted normalized view of trans women in these spaces becomes "threatening scary failed man whose femininity is undermined by their scary threatening genderfuck masculinity." it is so incredibly prevalent and you will not be able to unsee it once you notice it.

there’s always some sort of discourse floating around about this topic but despite that I do thoroughly enjoy that the aftg fandom can be divided into their niche sub-fandoms, there are people who almost entirely stick to writing about, talking about and drawing the Ravens or the perfect court, those that lean towards the Trojans and make their content surrounding that, and even within the foxes there are those that focus on the upperclassmen, the upcoming freshmen, or the pre-canon seniors; I really think that it makes for a well rounded fandom experience where even the most niche topics and characters are explored and analysed in such depth and everyone eventually finds their own calling within the fandom

Idk if it's me or it is really the fact that there's so little of Warhammer40k content on tumblr. Like in comparison with most of the other fandoms I have been with, wh40k does feel as pretty barren desert...

Even so, few people who create content for wh40k fandom here on tumblr are damn dedicated and I absolutely love all the new stuff floating in daily.

Separatism of any kind is shameful and will kill you.
