AVERAGE WHITE MAN x ASIAN WOMAN COLONISER LOVE STORY:
Male lead is either some chopped ass unc or prime dolph Lundgren
always a naval🏳️🌈/colonial officer
the asian woman is either a poor hooker or daughter of a nobleman.
"Well, she was just 13, I was thirty-one,"
asian woman's father is trapping her in their ultra conservative life style, when all she wants to do is run away with the exotic white man and see what america/Britain is like
White man is trapped in a boring life and a boring marriage, so he uses the asian woman as an escape from life very hedonistically
The asian woman is willing to throw absolutely everything away just for him, but white man won't do the same since by the end of the film, he simply returns to his boring life while she ends up dead/exiled/vague ending/baby mama/forever mourning her fling
White man narrates in 1st POV about this fling, in a nostalgic tone
anime waifu cringe
"White man's burden"
If she's a poor hooker, white man tries to save her from "sinning" while trying his best to fight off his own lust
asian woman rebels against society and her family
White man "rebels" by entering a relationship with a "less than" and cheating on his boring wife despite his comrades advising against it
asian woman was suppose to be in an arranged marriage with an Asian guy of high noble status
Story can't decide if it's chinese or Japanese or Vietnamese
Settled in the 1700s-1960s
Comment about how robust and tall and manly the white man is, like a stallion idk
Comment about how exotic, smol uwu and passive the asian woman is like a "lotus flower"
Comment about how primative asia is and how the west is so technologically advanced #orietalism
