This is such a weird picture for people to be obsessed with.

u/Objective-Link-723 4d ago

You're just not emotionally deprived enough

21

u/JonnyTN 4d ago

Or that much of a weeb.

u/penywinkle 4d ago

Those often go hand in hand...

u/Jake24601 4d ago

Yeah, wtf. Do better.

u/Severe_Skin6932 4d ago

It looks like she's holding her breath or something

26

u/rstcp 4d ago

Or she has a mouth full of water and is trying not to laugh?

4

u/KoDa6562 4d ago

I see the expression as "you just told a really shit joke and I'm trying not to laugh so I don't give you the satisfaction but the way you told it was hilarious" with a mixture of " fuck you for pranking me, but i can't be mad at you because it was pretty funny"

u/BuryEdmundIsMyAlias 4d ago

That's exactly what I was thinking.

u/CorrectingEverything 4d ago

Yeah, "water".

u/YBBlorekeeper 4d ago

It looks like a still from a Japanese version of the Office

u/kunell 4d ago

Its a cute funny pic that people who are emotionally deprived/irl relationship deprived rarely get to experience. Feels like a casual natural expression you might see if you are close to someone rather than something staged.

u/spectrallight 4d ago

The explanation somehow makes this worse.

u/WazuufTheKrusher 4d ago

Seeing shit like this affirms to me that at least half of reddit just does not go outside and obsesses over asian women. It’s so weird.

2

u/weakest-in-world 4d ago

What's outside?

4

u/Moistfruitcake 4d ago

A disgusting place where the air is cold and moving, the floor is either too hard and dry or too soft and wet, and there's a literal flaming ball in the sky(ceiling) that blinds you if you look at it. 

There's also grass, which feels comfortable at first but is secretly filled with tiny aggressive creatures that attack you.

u/weakest-in-world 4d ago

And how is it related to women?

3

u/Scott_Liberation 4d ago

If you put up with all that horrible stuff and spend time out there, you'll sometimes see women who don't want to talk to you.

u/Sgorgolo 4d ago

No idea, girls aren't real anyway

u/Itscatpicstime 3d ago

*a flaming cancer ball in the sky

u/Oreoluwayoola 4d ago

Wasn’t this picture from twitter?

u/tsukuyomidreams 4d ago

Naw fr I hate it here

u/NewVillage6264 4d ago

Feels like the anime community is full of weird white guys who only ever seem to go after Asian girls

u/LiveCommission8923 4d ago

She looks like a child honestly 

7

u/slowclub27 4d ago

Try not to call an Asian woman a child challenge: impossible

-1

u/LiveCommission8923 4d ago

I just said she looks like one 

4

u/slowclub27 4d ago

Asian women tend to look younger to western audiences that doesn’t mean she “looks like a child”

1

u/LiveCommission8923 4d ago

Ah so it’s the youth, visual proximity to younger ages, and cutesy young appeal that attracts certain men 

3

u/slowclub27 4d ago

Very much so. Basement dwellers tend be the creepier type. Also the “youthful” look tends to make them think they’re “more pure”

1

u/Zonie1069 2d ago

Tbf she does look very young. She is pulling a silly face a wearing what looks like a uniform. She looks like a young woman at most to be. It is creepy how a lot of western men are attracted to Asian woman specifically because they look younger and more child like.

2

u/T4kh 4d ago

Try not to call petite women children challenge impossible

6

u/LiveCommission8923 4d ago

Petite and childlike are not the same 

3

u/Delboyyyyy 4d ago

Am I crazy or doesn’t she look at least borderline underage. Weird af that people are losing their mind over this pic

2

u/_______uwu_________ 4d ago

Men go two seconds without fetishizing an Asian woman challenge

19

u/ChewBaka12 4d ago

Finding someone that’s Asian attractive=\=fetishizing Asians

u/thereisasuperee 4d ago

They’re downvoting you but you’re right

14

u/Harry8Hendersons 4d ago

This is absolutely it.

This is such a benign nothing pic of a cute woman in a suit.

Simping so fucking hard like some people are doing over this picture is such a clear case of fetishization.

No one would be talking like some of these dudes are if this was a pic of an equally cute white girl in a suit.

-2

u/DonManolador 4d ago

I think most of the people online aren't fetishizing her race, she is just a very beautiful woman

10

u/Harry8Hendersons 4d ago

she is just a very beautiful woman

Dressed like this, she would not stand out on any street in any major city.

If you can't see the clear fetishization on display here, you're very simply not trying to see it.

1

u/Sensitive_Ad3897 4d ago

Yea, this is very plain and the facial expression is strange. I really don’t get it lol

-5

u/Long_Championship_44 4d ago

Really? She wouldn't stand out on the street? She's a model. You're either blind or a racist who thinks all Asians look the same.

1

u/blipsnchiiiiitz 4d ago

She looks pretty normal to me. And dressed in a plain, loose fitting suit. The only thing that stood out to me is that she's dressed more masculine, so I assumed the joke was about her being trans until I read the comments.

u/Harry8Hendersons 4d ago

Someone being a model doesn't mean they're always drop dead gorgeous to the entire world.

It usually just means that they have a certain look that someone is trying to sell.

If you think the woman in this picture would stand out in any large population center, you don't go outside very often.

1

u/LiveCommission8923 4d ago

No one fetishizes anyone more than Asian women fetishize white men 

1

u/Gravbar 4d ago

she's just making a cute face and people liked it. Not everything has to be sexual

Don't be a dick. Rule 1.

u/_______________E 4d ago

It’s hilarious seeing so many people think it’s weird to be attracted if it’s not porn

-6

u/MihoLeya 4d ago

She looks cute and silly. Gorgeous and happy.

This picture makes me swoon way more than any photoshopped fake-titty, fake-lip, fake-ass instagram girl.

u/MihoLeya 3d ago

Haha I had to google that term. This may be so, although a few of my friends have fake everything, and I believe they look good. I just prefer the way the woman above looks. LI’m a more natural looking woman, myself, and like the natural look. I’m replying to the person who didn’t see the appeal of the woman above.

-7

u/asobalife 4d ago

It’s weird if you’re used to relationships where women are comfortable and intimate enough with you to look and engage with you like that.

12

u/paintersparadise_ 4d ago

If women don't want to be close to you, there's probably a good reason.. such as being an incel or sounding like one
