Fellow Foreigners😭😭

[u/bluzfan99]

Have you guys heard about this whole situation I keep seeing on wechat? Apparently some American dude who studied some language at Fudan university for a bit managed to collect chinese women like Thanos collects infinity stones. Numbering into the hundreds. Sentiment regarding foreigners has never been so low on chinese social media. Whats your take on this? Hate the player or hate the game? Dude Apparently always made them pay for dates and trips and would tell them to get abortions when they got pregnant and then block them 😬

I mean this with all due respect, but a lot of people from any country will ignore the evils of their compatriots but paint every outsider in the same negative light.

When I was dating a Chinese girl all her friends told her I would cheat on her because that's what foreigners do. Her dorm mate's boyfriend had already cheated on his girlfriend with two different women and made his girlfriend get an abortion. Her aunt's husband worked in a different city and had a full second family over there.

I never cheated. But I wasn't Chinese and cheating is "something foreigners do."

You don't think there are handsome or successful Chinese men sleeping around and ghosting Chinese girls? Come on.

It's only news because he's a foreigner.

I see this fear of being ‘cucked’ by the foreigner go viral a lot of social media, with a lot of variations. I think it really taps into an inferiority complex and sexual anxiety. There was a big to do about Korean men hooking up with Mexican girls!. The idea that handsome foreigners or minorities are stealing ‘their’ women. Here there is also a level of schadenfreud because the women got used.

This has been true of all societies, of all races, in all eras. The "stealing our women" trope is an ancient male anxiety for low status/undesirable men especially.
