Yes it is fucking weird that whatever you call a soft masc, feminine, dainty/delicate, androgynous, performative man and someone who “is not butch enough”—are just people who are emulating East Asian culture, trends and aesthetics. Or they’re East Asian people themselves.
It is fucking weird that you insult people who have yellow fever, not by calling out yellow fever but by further denigrating and infantilising Asian people and talking about their genitals. Or when you respond to an Asian person discussing a new love interest by saying “they probably have Yellow fever”.
It is fucking weird that you’re discussing how “Asian people are everyone’s preferences” without addressing Asian fetishism and Orientalism and how it has contributed to sexual violence, sexual slavery, shootings, the internalised stigmas contributing to underreporting and the belief that Asian people ask for it and are receptive to sexual attention.
It is fucking weird that you look at an Asian person’s body and names and start picking out which traits you want. And arguing it can’t be harmful or dehumanising because either it is just the beauty industry or it is gender affirming care [cis and trans people do engage in gender affirming care]. When these traits have been the same ones picked out by attackers as sexy to them and deserving for their taking, that they make an Asian person “good enough to be raped”.
It is fucking weird to be telling me that your whiteness is scary and ugly and masculine, and that’s why you want to adopt Asian features incl. posting clearly sexualised Asian fems in modified traditional attire as your “ideal type”.
Yes it’s weird when you see an Asian fem with curves and say that it’s probably fake, while at the same time idealising her body. When you tell an Asian femme, “white mascs / men will like you” because she is small, hairless, or flat-chested.
And no it is not progressive to go “you’re not my type” when you meet an Asian femme. No it is not fucking progressive to tell me you’d be willing to watch porn to re-assess your sexual attraction to an Asian person. Or that you have a preference for Asian people, or that you haven’t “tried Asian” before.
Yeah it is absolutely disgusting when you pinpoint the way an Asian person incorporates their Asian heritage and reclamations into their style, and you say “I want that”, as if it is a costume and accessory to take and discard whenever you want.
Yes it is completely out of line to say that an Asian person has denounced their culture when they reject your help and/or your advances, when they’re being assertive, argumentative, passionate, emotional or even, emotionally distant. When you’re extra punishing towards an Asian person for displaying these but give every other race a pass.
Yes it is weird when you say “you’re so attractive, you must be Japanese or Korean” to any Asian person, and when they tell you they’re SEAsian or Chinese, you look fucking shocked.
Some of you are fucking disgusting towards Asian people. You take and take and take from our culture and features, you hyperfeminise and sexualise us. As if Asian culture hasn’t been sufficiently exploited and when it’s brought up, you dismiss it as your right as a queer, feminist and progressive person.
And no IDGAF that you’re a leftist, why do yall keep talking about communism, kpop, nail salons and immigrant rights whenever you see me? 🤨

Anger awakens. Anger is real. Anger is something they made forbidden for all of us to reach in different ways, even the “angry” ones. Too angry and fearsome to honor your own anger. Too delicate to honor your own anger. Too much of the adult to honor your own anger. Too much like a child to honor your own anger. But It’s Yours. It’s yours, it’s yours.

Hi Virago & Mollis community!
@bellboutique and I have begun a project on Google docs intended as a communal living document on the Virago & Mollis experiences.
PS: I’m not a part of this community, but I’m happy to do my part to help platform this and build it up as much as possible 🥰
For now, it aims at addressing hot & contentious topics and answering FAQs, especially to amplify Virago & Mollis voices on important matters and how they might wish to shape this document and grow their community. The purpose of this project may expand as participants see fit.
Please DM me with your email if you’d like to be added to the document as an editor [Virago and Mollis persons only !]
I would prefer if you DMed from an account where I can easily verify that you’re not a spam or a troll account, which means at least having some Virago or Mollis content discussed on your page.
You may also post any questions or suggestions to me 😉 Cheers !
How much resentment I hold towards my parents’ decisions made in consideration of Christianity, to take away the opportunity for my family and I to learn more about my cultures, its lore, stories and legends. And how they engaged in Christofascism through this against persons who lacked the power to defend themselves against it as children.
“These practices are just meaningless things your aunties and uncles believe in” and “we are Christians so we can’t believe in this kind of non-Christian stuff”.
Framing my culture and its indigenous spiritual ties as backwards and dangerous. Using “we” as though I too, followed what they deemed permissible. While they framed it as inherently morally good to oppose these indigenous practices.
I hold so much resentment for how Christianity as a Eurocolonial tool (ie Christofascism) and its congregation amplified these attitudes in Sinodiasporas under Christian-backed societies (typically eurocolonial or post-eurocolonial).
And how walking through a Eurocolonial society, and never having been to nor lived in a country that isn’t stained and corrupted by it, means this fearmongering and moralising against my culture and its practices—is embedded everywhere.
BIPOC Inclusion & Whiteness as the Face of Queerness
It’s interesting that white people will say that they support BIPOC queers. They shout from the rooftops that they include BIPOC queers. They talk about Eurocolonial beauty standards and diversifying that.
But really, they only do these things where it is convenient. Their support is conditional on white-centeredness, Anglospheric values and concepts of virtue. What they mean is “We include you as long as you depend on Whiteness as the face of queer culture, its champions and its historical authority”.
They see themselves as the flagbearers of queerness, as those who champion the queering and diversification in gender and sexual politics.
But the moment BIPOC challenge that dominance, challenge that white-centered, Anglospheric narrative—
The moment we challenge white progressiveness with multicultural progressiveness—
The moment we center the autonomy and championing of BIPOC and the non-colonialist if not anti-colonialist roots in queer consciousness—
The moment we involve queerness with class and class with RACE, argue for multi-oppression models—
We become “killjoys” bringing in “oppression olympics”, “erasing/changing history”. We become “belligerent”. Too difficult.
And it is palpable. The discomfort they feel. They’re slowly turning backs. Them blocking their ears. Their fatigue. Their inability to accept that many BIPOC must and have historically approached queerness, genderdiversity and sexuality in a very different way.
My baby cousins and their family are moving to [insert white dominant country] from SEA this year, and my parents have forbidden me from talking with them because I’m just going to “scare them and crush their hopes with all your politics and racism talks” 👹 Well they’ve gotta know. I’d rather they learn it from me [slowly & sensitively] than be thrown into the deep end like I was.
used to get sufficiently plastered just so i could numb myself to the horror that the person fucking me did so thinking they were having sex with a Chinese cis woman
