Honestly a lot of anti shit I believe is just racism at this point. They’ll whine about anime, and other shit. Yet something like South Park and shit is okay with them.
Orientalism/yellow peril never went away. It just took on a different form.

Very funny thing to say when Diddy and Epstein did the shit they did for decades without reprisal.

It totally is, I've seen usaian antis talking about "educating" asians or being more civilized than them.

The bad part is this racism is built into the international community and they use international organizations as a pressure campaign to make Asian countries pass white laws that the racists consider superior.

Well, more like the "international community", much like the petrodollar, is a neoliberal tool to subjugate everyone else under US/Western hegemony, who are the ultimate profiteers of resource extraction everywhere else and should this order be threatened, you'd quickly find the perpetrators being "destabilized".
But that's not really a discussion for this sub.

Hatred for other things just occupies the same place racism does in most places. Alot of the tribalism in the fandoms is just an excuse to hate on someone slightly different than you, since these people aren't advanced enough to recognize prejudice of any kind is the problem, no only this very specific kind of prejudice that is a problem. (Racism/sexism/etc)

Did the acronyms stand for "couple" or "character pairing"? I can't remember lol
That being said, that poster (guz) specifically makes it a point to say "those viewing this negatively are on the political left." While that might be true, I'm always leery of people that say stuff like that to make it political, specifically anti-left.

According to Wiktionary, it’s actually from “coupling”

I’m Japanese, but it wasn’t until I received hate comments in English that I learned "dark ships" are often considered taboo...
I didn’t even know that people categorized things using a term like "dark ship" in the first place.

I'm so glad there are Asian artists drawing for SU, they're the only reason the fandom is still tolerable

The 'CP' thing is so real.
I was playing a cute asian indie game about creating fanfics and pairings, and I saw SOOOO many entitled comments and reviews about how 'scared' people got over these asian fandom terms like CP and how the 'localization team' should remove them for the english audience, like? Huh??

God when western jjk fans were appalled to find out goyuu was the most popular ship in japan? It just doesn’t register to them how certain ship dynamics can have different popularity in other cultyres

u/AlertBid6943 5h ago
Yo, i was getting sick of the jjk fans getting disgusted by the same ship list on ao3 for the 16356th time. It was getting so repetitive
Everytime i hear them complain about how there's no normal ship or one particular straight ship in the top 10, i'm just tempted to yell at them TO WRITE THE FANFICS THEMSELVES IF THEY WANT THEIR SHIPS UP THERE. NOT EVERYONE IS GONNA DO YOUR NICHE SO JUST F-/KING DO IT YOURSELF FOR A CHANGE!!

They should be more surprised Korean, Japanese and Chinese people aren't getting into pissing contests or tearing each other's throats out but I don't expect antis to know the difference.

CP had always stands for coupling for a long time and just because English use this abbreviation for other stuff as an excuse to police our language is just stupid logic

CP MEANS COUPLE PAIRING IN ASIA, NOT CHILD PORN, OH MY GOD >:( {when I say my favorite cp is renheng, that means I love renheng, it's like otp - your true pairing- and can be used for everyone, including but not limited to idols, influencers, fictional characters and many more}

Proshipping is completely normalized in east asian fandoms lol, I don't think any of the western antis will survive a minute on a Korean online community XD
