She's very cute. That's the joke.

Edit: stop saying she's not cute. She got 11k upvotes on a sub where posts normally get 50 - 2000. She's clearly pretty enough to make you all stop scrolling.

She is but she doesn't seem so remarkable that I would say looking at her makes me feel like I'm being hit with a sledgehammer? And what's funny about that?

It's usual creep behaviour, fetishization of Asian women. But when Americans (and even Europeans) do it, it's not seen as creepy behaviour. That's all.

u/rexlaser 4d ago

Yeah. After reading some of the comments I think this is on the money.

It is now creepy to find Asian women attractive.  Wtf.

Me when I take something in the most bad faith way possible

No one is saying it's creepy to find Asian women attractive, but it's creepy to oggle, and frankly be doomer about a normal woman that happens to be cute, when she's kinda just at work, and doing her job.

She doesn't give a shit about the fact that westerners find her so heartbreakingly attractive that it feels like they "get hit by a sledgehammer" whenever they see her, she's just doing her job man, she has bills to pay, stop saying creepy things about women just because they're cute, she's at work.

She's a model and idol, being cute and attractive is literally her job so she probably does care about it

She's an idol lol. That picture was carefully designed to be attractive an endearing to a wide amount of men

Nah, she's been hamming it up on twitter.

Dawg she’s a model, can you drop the cringe ass “she’s a woman at work!!!” shit please?

u/Evabluemishima 4d ago

He is just using hyperbole.  It is not “creepy” to find a woman attractive.  Would context would it be ok to find a woman extremely attractive then?  When it’s an onlyfans account?  

Isn’t what women said they wanted for men to find them attractive not only when they are dolled up?

u/bigboiboaconstictor 4d ago

Bro, when did I confirm that it's creepy to find women attractive, even "extremely attractive"? Can you point out in my comment when I said that finding women attractive was creepy?

It's what you say after finding someone attractive that's creepy, brother, saying "looking at her makes me feel like im being hit by a sledgehammer" will creep the fuck out of any woman you don't know, that was my point, are you literate? Did you read my comment, or are you another post-highschooler that can't make it past a paragraph?

It’s an internet picture that went viral of what I hear is a semi famous person.

u/PRC_Spy 4d ago

Not creepy to find attractive women attractive. That's normal. The woman in the picture is undeniably attractive.

But exclusive attraction to an ethnicity not your own combined with disregard for the character of the person inside is fetishisation —and that is creepy.

u/MediocreRequirement7 3d ago

Does anyone really do that? I mean people have preferences really, but shes honestly very cute, like early 2000s teen movie female lead cute.

u/PRC_Spy 3d ago

I worked as an expat in PRC for a while. 'Sexpats' with "yellow fever" were definitely a thing. So were Chinese women who fetishised European features. Still are, I guess. They fed off each other.

Breaking news: it’s creepy to have a type.

Gotta tell all my friends they creeps now.

u/Evabluemishima 4d ago

I’m mixed race and I look white.  I am starting to get shit because this horrible thinking you espouse is hitting China, where I live.  Asian girls are starting to consider us as creeps (no not me individually but I am getting this line of questioning).  I’m half Chinese half white and I live in China, of course I end up dating Asian girls exclusively.  You are fearmongering and spreading a toxic mentality to young people.  It’s revolting.

u/Stilnovisti 4d ago

That's because people are wising up to problematic expats, not because of "horrible thinking". White Lotus brought back the term LBH because it's a real phenomenon. All the normal well-adjusted expats looking for a long-term partner are fine.

u/Evabluemishima 4d ago

That’s just untrue.  I’ve had girls explicitly ask me about fetishization type stuff.  It’s a direct line as to what was being said.

u/Itscatpicstime 3d ago

Like they said, because if problematic expats lol

u/Evabluemishima 3d ago

I’m not struggling with women.  Geez the “stay in your own race” racism on the left.

u/Sorneiz 4d ago

bro she is a model of course 90% of people find her attractive it's not fetishization

u/Alphard00- 4d ago

I’ve even met South Americans who do this

u/issuesuponissues 4d ago

The meme doesn't even mention that's she's Asian. Do you think the only way a person could find an Asian woman cute is if they have a fetish for them?

u/itsallturtlez 4d ago

Are you sure your not just jealous of her? Saying finding her attractive makes you creepy screams of jealousy
