“There were insults I’d never heard before, they were disgusting and inhumane,” said Darim, which is not her real name. One read: “You’ve just sabotaged your job.”
What’s with east Asia and their fundamental misunderstanding of what feminism is? In this article, they think that making fun of penis sizes is feminism.
As a genshin player, I’ve read multiple posts from Chinese and Korean players on reddit, back when I was still on there, where they refer to the weirdest things as feminism. Sometimes they are against the thing. Sometimes they are for it. But it just doesn’t have anything to do with feminism but they keep calling it feminist.
I mean, it happens in the west too. Just look at that whole gamergate debacle.
I feel like it’s just way more mainstream over there. Looked into it more after writing the comment you’re replying to, and, from how news sites and forums are describing the situation, anti-feminism seems to be to Korean elections what transphobia is to American ones.
to be fair feminism has had very little to do with feminism for quite awhile so it’s easy to project pretty much anything onto it.
edit: of course in Korea it still has something to fight, so I would assume it’s actually what it says on the tin still.
If you think feminism is accomplished and has nothing left to fight for in the USA and Europe then you are not very observant.
