um president biden we need sanctions against china immediately can we send some warning shots i just saw someone on bilibili say under a video of zendaya that “americans are just being politically correct when they say shes out of tom holland’s league cos OBVIOUSLY we all know tom holland is better looking than her" and that was the Popular opinion... the white = better notion is so ingrained that it even applies to zendaya and her five foot nothing british orphan core boyfriend its BEYOND sick. i really thought there would be more conflicting voices bc we all have eyes but racism is literally so powerful

#all the comments like hmm theres just Something i can't get about her beauty shes just not for me no i wont examine this any further #chinese ppl will say i guess its just us/european beauty standards about women with darker skin (which is not even true)#and turn around and complain that beauty standards in east asia is too restricted to borderline pedophillic pale skinny and young #and thats the more feminist take bc theres a lot of ppl who are still defending the pale skinny young standard #i often hesitate to say china is really behind on certain things but for this theyre Definitely behind #not like legislation wise idk how that is but the average opinion accepted in society about women and beauty gives me culture shock #and how comfortable they are to comment on peoples weight even though they know how sensitive that could be for people #which is why when idols are getting lashings on twt about saying something about their members weight im like #yeah its wrong and they shouldnt do it but this wouldnt even register as something thats societally unacceptable #to them . i think it reinforces it more as cultural difference when the outrage is only coming from western sources #which is not to say people shouldnt say anything about it but i think for it to mean anything it has to be coming from their culture first #and idk if thats ever gonna happen from the current view of the landscape #sidney talks shit
