English subtitles should just give up gendered pronouns for #ChineseDramas. The “ta” is essentially “they/them.” That’d fix so many translation issues where gender remains unknown, or cross dressing when the English speaking audience is confused that the characters know true genders when they don’t.
RIGHT?! So annoying!
DID YOU KNOW THAT IN #BRIDGERTON SEASON 4, THEIR WEDDING SCENE IS IN THE POST CREDITS?! It’s not Marvel, so I obviously didn’t forward past the credits, and missed the closure! #Netflix is PMO, because they auto skipped credits to recommend other stuff to watch in the first place!
This on top of the fact that the piece I shared for critique was heavily about racialized bullying of a young Chinese girl. And he read it. His feedback was useless.
I am trying to figure out how to deal with this right now. The teacher emailed back already. I’m just still……..not okay.
—we’re legible and most definitely written in English. I took the time to email the teacher about this to make it clear that I was uncomfortable and that I had been hurt, especially by the Google Translate comment near the end. #Racism #PerpetualForeigner #AntiAsian #Sinophobia #MicroAggression
—written, I said, “I don’t have a lot to say, so these comments probably aren’t helpful” as I slid the stapled sheets back toward him, and he quipped, “Don’t worry, like you said earlier, I’ll just put it through Google translate if I don’t understand it.” Meanwhile my remarks scrawled on his work—
—facilitator tried to move the conversation away, and use examples from Parks and Rec about stereotyping where people are from, which didn’t land with me as I’ve never watched that show. But when I handed back the man’s printed pages back to him with very little in terms of feedback that I had—
—was saying at this point. I related that I’d been friends with someone for 6 years and they’d asked me for help which I agreed to readily, but was presented with a block of Chinese text, so I said something about recommending Google Translate over myself. It was all very annoying and othering. The—
—him that it was literally a “how are you” greeting, and not the one where you’re asking if they’ve eaten yet, explain that I have a rather standard American education, so I can’t read his shirt (Apparently it’s supposed to say “Dave” but it says Big Something? I dunno, I wasn’t integrating what he—
—bright red chop (stamp) with Chinese characters on it, proceeded to tell em that he has asked me if I’d eaten yet as the Chinese greeting. I explained that I have never been taught how to speak Mandarin, and Mandarin wasn’t my home language. Then I translated what he had tried to say, corrected—
There’s a man who is going to turn 68 on Thursday in my writing class, and he’s going through a divorce and has repeatedly stated that he feels like he has a great American novel in him. This man showed up last night and said NEE HOW MAH to me, unzipped his hoodies and showed me his t-shirt with a—

I lost the battle. I gave in and started watching #PursuitOfJade, and it’s SO GOOD, GUYS. Their chemistry is good, the story is on point, and #ZhangLinghe ‘s face card is INSANE (as always). I just keep looking at him and being happy. He’s literally a work of art. #Cdrama

This crooked jawline A-hole said nobody cares about ballet & opera. Meanwhile his mom, his sister & his grandmother are or were ballet dancers. How quickly he denied them personhood with such a quick, throw-away comment. “NO ONE cares about ballet.” The women who literally created you care. NO ONE?!
I finished #Cdrama #HowDareYou finally & YES that ending was super abrupt. Now I’m watching #GenerationToGeneration, while I avoid #PursuitOfJade until way more episodes are out. G2G is a delicious enemies to lovers, so I’m having a good time w/it. On the #Kdrama side, #OurUniverse is good so far!
I mean you’re right (we both know what we’re seeing), but there’s a lot of folks who don’t consider this a conservative come-out. Because we’re on a bad timeline. I’d like to not be on the bad timeline
These are the dog whistles. The full public reveals are usually more obnoxious. Regrettably.
—same-acting, mog-faced, lily white, POS, condescending it-boy, chosen one of the mediocre supremacist masses. Hope his teeth turn upside down and start attacking his own mandibles. I hope he gets suplexed by a ballerina and thrown out a window. Just wait for his conservative reveal, coming soon UGH
Oh, right, because even though #KpopDemonHunters was a Canadian/US Korean diaspora collaboration almost fully in ENGLISH, mind you, it’s still East Asian enough to be perpetually foreign. Gotta have PRIDE when “Western” shit starts winning again, ammirite?! I never liked that asymmetrical rat faced—
We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.
And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.
I write a character telling another character "The world isn’t going to punish you for wanting.” and then I, god-writer, punish them. I'm evil.

ICE abducted a US citizen when she came home from a trip to Turkey. Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi was born in Evanston, Illinois, and is being held in an ICE detention center.
ICE told her family they don’t know where she is. Her iPhone pings from within the ICE building. Protests are outside.
