everyone loves asian people until they’re human beings

[cactusbunni]

i feel like elaborating on this. people can only ever really imagine asians (and honestly most poc but since i’m asian this is what i feel comfortable with) as objects - specifically objects of desire. you’re an anime character, or a yaoi bishounen, or a kpop idol, or a label on some food, or a porn category, or, or, or. no matter what, you are something to be consumed. this also coincides really neatly with the perception of asia as a monolith - an asian (be they thai or tibetan or korean) is only that: asian. little thought is paid to culture or nationality or ethnicity (because surprise! asian countries have several ethnicities within their borders!). and again asians are interchangeable. you’ve heard the joke that all asians look alike, right? seen how people compare every asian person they see to their bias?

everyone fucking loves asians until it’s time to think about them as individuals, as separate groups, as actual people. the instant we go from fantasy to reality we lose out glitz and people turn their heads and look away. this gets to the point where even realistic portrayals of asian people are warped back into that little box for the purpose of selling to mass market - see peni parker! it... idk it sucks 💖 please examine the way you think about asians and asia

[datfearlessfangirl]

hi op! i hope you don’t mind me adding on, but this also factors into how little south asians are even considered in media. we don’t fit the neat little stereotype for what asian should be or look like. we can’t be anime characters or k-pop idols, so we don’t matter.

I can’t believe staff deleted all of their initial @/postplus blog posts and just pretended that the survey and the encouragement-of-illegal-fanfic-monetization backlash never happened. As if they don’t know how their own site works?? As if those now-deleted posts aren’t still floating around in 100,000 different reblog chains and even more mocking screenshots?? As if we, the gremlin userbase of this hellsite would ever forget how they initially approached the whole mess???

My favorite thing about disability culture is that you’re never supposed to feel abandoned. It feels like that a lot with non-disabled people. My first week of college, I was led to an orientation, and it was on the second floor. And I asked an advisor where the elevator was. He said he didn’t know, shrugged, and turned away. I looked at him, and I realized, this person does not care about me. And I looked at all the other students walking up the stairs, and I thought, these people do not care about me. 

I’m watching Crip Camp right now, and I’m crying, because those disabled people occupied the 4th floor to get rights for me, and they worked together to figure out how to get necessities to each other. They took care of each other. Disabled people don’t have the flaw of pretending we’re independent. No one is independent, disabled or nondisabled. Freedom isn’t created by independence, it’s created by interdependence.
