Some of y’all need to stop implementing Western ideals and social norms onto foreign shows that you watch. I have been following two Kdrama’s in the past couple of weeks, and some of discourse around them are very… American. And not only that… it’s very Twitter-y American. I think some of you guys need to realize a lot of these things that you want to happen, or the situations that y’all have problems with, are simply not part of mainstream discourse or discussion in other foreign cultures. They’re just not. People don’t see these “toxic” things as immoral or inappropriate. In fact, In most cases these things are widely accepted and agreed upon. So the fact that y’all come up and say “this is an unhealthy relationship” or “this is toxic”… etc.. the reality is that these things aren’t toxic or unhealthy in the other end of the world. Particularly Eastern countries in which things are mostly traditional and conservative. You saying these things can also be very offensive to ethnic people living there. You’re outright bashing their culture. So I feel like when your watching foreign media, some of y’all need to be aware of what that entails. Cause some of you are clearly not aware and are imposing Western norms and ideals on people and cultures who don’t have them. It’s not right… You just can’t whitewash other cultures and force western values on them. Some things are just simply different, and that needs to be respected. If you feel uncomfortable, well maybe consuming foreign media is not for you. It’s in the name: Foreign. Meaning different cultures have different value systems and it needs to be respected, regardless of whether you like it or not. You can’t change the customs or beliefs of other cultures because YOU, feel uncomfortable. It’s not your place. It’s just…something to think about.
