I dont get why people get so defensive when I say I am not into guys who look feminine, like flowerboys?

Hi everyone... I'm going on a rant here for a bit.

i don't think flowerboys are good representation for AM and I don't understand why so many Asians rally behind this? What good is that going to do? As an Asian woman who only date Asian men, I like AM who look normal and masculine and not someone who look like white girls. I hate seeing AM masking or ruining their masculine features with this gross style, like putting on lots of makeup or having plastic surgery. White guys can do this because they don't look very manly to begin with so it is not a lot of effort for them. AM gotta go to the very extreme if they wanna look feminine. I hope this fad fades away soon.

They've have been duped into believing that femininity is inherent to Asian culture so we should embrace and celebrate it, despite plenty of evidence of the contrary.

Like I pointed out in the other thread the article defending this harmful trend even admitted that for the longest time it's always considered sissy and effeminate for AM to put on makeup. Looking at many of the Vietnamese heroes throughout the history of Vietnam and in Vietnamese folklores for example, the male heroes are always portray as strong, rugged, masculine. It's abundantly clear that effeminacy isn't inherently to our culture.

We need to stop letting the West claim masculinity as it is something that they own. It's an extremely foolish and self-defeating mentality that's giving our enemies even more ammo

Some Asian media even go further and make thing worse by constantly promoting this trend, not knowing or not caring how deterimental it's going to be in the long run for AM.

OMG...who are you?? You're officially my favorite chick on all of Asian reddit now, lol.

As someone who is kind of athletic, I can't picture myself with any guy that obsessed with looking pale and pretty. I just can't. Not only would it be kind of sad if I'm able to squat more weight than the guy, but as someone who runs and swims almost everyday, I think the fun would be absolutely ruined if I ask him to go swim with me at the beach and he's too deathly afraid of getting a tan or ruining his beautiful skin.

But even if I wasn't athletic or outdoorsy, I still can't picture being with a guy more feminine than me. I think dudes like Keni Styles or Daniel Dae Kim are, by far, more my speed, because they look like they're able to defend me if needed...instead of the other way around, lol.

You basically says what every woman wants lol. Only insecure guys would downvote this cuz they know they can't stack up

men must be able to protect and defend us.

Basic human instinct. It's insane that so many Asians can't grasp this basic fact and push this effeminate culture (as if we weren't emasculated enough by popular media and powerful societies).

The vast majority of women are not attracted to feminine men. The vast majority of men do not respect feminine men.

Asian men who argue for alternative masculinity are cop outs.

Nothing wrong with that lol. It's just these SJW uncle chans automatically think your talking down on Asian men as if we were born with a k-pop look.

the k-pop look is a recent trend starting after the war with Japan.

It was controlled and approved by the U.S. GOV and agents like Johnny Kitagawa who is a gay pedophile that was born in California. He took the Westtern broadway musical and pushed his westernized feminized Man ideal to Asia and drilled it in the populace with his gov't backing.

No one liked it at first. Most people in East Asia liked Rock and american JAzz music ect.

It's just boy bands on steroids with no other musical styles promoted.

US gov't loved it because the East Asian populace was filled with starved,hungry and angry man. It pacified them and feminized them. Leaving all the masculine duties to the good ole U.S. army. No harm no foul right???

Except girls don't like guys with makeup. Jesus I cannot for the life of me understand how can some AMs think that looking literally like a girl is attractive and that women are attracted to it. Honestly who needs Hollywood to castrate us when we are already doing the work for them. It's mindblogging beyond belief.
