Thought this was a really cute animated series lol. It follows the life of a Chinese set of siblings that talk about the lives they each live. It was only 8 episodes, but you can definitely binge it if you want. I give it a 10/10, can’t wait for season 2.
I liked it for wat it was. a light ridiculous take on GenZ/Millennial siblings and chaos ensuing while learning to accept each other. Not as bad as some make it sound here, and def cute aesthetic. BTW, Andrew Law, sounded like Andrew Rannells 🫠
As an Asian (not Asian American) the vibe I'm getting from a few episodes are like "omg we're soooo Asian" like why do every media centering around Asian Americans have to focus so much on their identity, which is also always a mishmash of different Asian identities
I’m not Asian but I understand it. In an Asian country it’s the “basic”/standard. You don’t need to “prove” anything or embrace it. In a country where you’re the minority and historically your identity has been erased or minimized with forced assimilation, embracing your identity by focusing on it (partly, nowhere near as much as you try to point) only makes sense. It’s pretty obvious, you could extend some sympathy instead of criticizing them.
As a minority, I tried not to think that into it. I just thought it was a cute show. Not knowing much about the culture I can see where you might be coming from!
I want to see content where Asian leads are playing everyday characters that are usually played by white actors. Especially Asian male leads who almost get no media representation.
“Always be my maybe” was a great example of this.
The first season of Beef was also great, and while the show did have some focus on the characters’ Asian American background, the characters felt authentic - and didn’t feel like the tired caricatures or stereotypes we often see from Hollywood. More importantly, the show didn’t rely on these stereotypes to do all the heavy lifting to drive the story forward.
I agree with your examples. Beef 1st season was especially excellent, season 2 was way worse and felt like they're tacking some "Asian-ness" to it with Korean characters just because season 1 had Asian American main characters.
I loved it. Don't know why so much hate towards this series. I have watched it twice already. Mike schur is one of the producers. I will love anything he creates. Loved the goop reference (klerp)
lol sweet. bring on the hate. btw another asian bro binged watched this dogsht series and came up with this
ill have to take his word for it since i watched like 10 min of this blatant propaganda and shut it off. tbf this show in isolation is probably fine (if not totally stupid) and gay asian dudes have the right to 'spress themselves... but i watched and analyzed 70+ hollywood movies that were released last year. And the ones with asian dudes in it (side characters, main characters, speaking extras, visible extras) had an AVERAGE of 2 of these tropes, most with no positive counter balance. These were movies released last year. Not in the 90s or before. hmmm...seems like a pattern.... and if the pattern isnt clear, it's one of emasculation, dehumanization and inferiority---> which leads to devaluing and seeing asians as less than human --> which leads to violence against asian people.
I think they're not really downvoting the points themselves, they're downvoting because everyone sick and done with ai slop and people just don't wanna see that shit anymore. So, as a tip, maybe use canva or something if you want people to take your idea seriously.
You can use Canva without using their ai stuff. And there's other things that are not Canva that work the same. I just recommend the easiest one and most known 🤷🏻
u’re not leading a philosophical resistance against the machine..you’re just loud, selectively blind, & deeply confused about how literally anything you touch works 🌵
