One Direction Masterpost: Asian Fetish Edition.

When One Direction finally comes to your East Asian country to tour (not mine, we’re still suffering from the legacy of Maoism & the Cold War) and you’re like, OMG!!!! FINALLY!!!!!

And then they go on Japanese TV shows and you’re like OK, that’s cool, the internet will get some good gifs out of this.

But then they pose for pictures with a geisha and you’re like, weird, does this image represent an orientalist mindset in which Asian women are presented as submissive objects of pleasure for white men to reinforce the dominance of Western culture over Eastern culture?

And then they dress up in Asian outfits and you’re like uhhhh please never do that again.

Except they do do that again, on 1D Day.

On 1D Day, they also eat “weird food” like fucking BUBBLE TEA (I’M SORRY, IS THERE NOT BUBBLE TEA AVAILABLE IN LONDON OR ANY OF THE OTHER COSMOPOLITAN PLACES IN THE WORLD WHICH YOU VISIT ON A DAILY BASIS??) and make faces while doing so.

But just when you’re about to die from the effects of yellow fever Harry Styles tweetstagrams about his habit of “eating sushi” IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

And ultimately what you’re thinking is: GODDAMMIT WHY AM I NOT THE ASIAN IN THAT PICTURE.
