Sorry, being fetishized is most definitely creepy.
But it's mostly born of ignorance. Isn't that something that should evoke pity instead of disgust?
Like Orientalism in general.

scholars would say its our duty to be disgusted by it, others would just say gyuri is hot and leave it at that. i dont typically pity a guy who knows whta he likes, but the world is full of beautiful , interesting women so ultimately hes just doin himself dirty. if he was in KR he might fetishize US girls which is very common with my friends in mexico. enjoying ur posts pvsnp | ||

I'm not denying that weebs and foreign k-pop fans might have an unhealthy obsession with another culture/race, just that science justifies it for certain cases. Just as people can be born gay, others can be born pre-programmed to seek an abnormal drive to seek genetic diversity in mates. | ||

im sure its reasonable to be disgusted by the fetishization of foreign cultures scholars would say its our duty to be disgusted by it, others would just say gyuri is hot and leave it at that. i dont typically pity a guy who knows whta he likes, but the world is full of beautiful , interesting women so ultimately hes just doin himself dirty. if he was in KR he might fetishize US girls which is very common with my friends in mexico. Olli does not approve, so I won't continue. enjoying ur posts pvsnp Thanks! | ||

These were the sickest matches I have seen in a while and they deserve to be discussed! I recall Arty saying he had never seen the build Classic started out on against Dark, so even though Dark scouted it he still lost. Can anyone talk about how that strategy worked and was different? Like what Dark was expecting when he scouted? | ||

Like what Dark was expecting when he scouted? the early robotics classic used is really just uncommon. and his push was extremely delayed (Newkirk city) compared to the typical builds that use robotics. they usually do not have a third base so early, and they usually dont wait for like 4-5 immortals to push i think when dark scouted his units/production he thought "fuck hes about to immortal push me, because i scouted this build hes doing, and thats what people typically do when you discover they have been chronoing immortals all early game instead of upgrading and buying splash/air units" what clasic was thinking, "dark is going to get overlord speed and see this push and over prepare while i take my third. he will assume i am going to push immediately, because when this is scouted it can be countered by spire or x strategy. i will just wait for archon tech and go kill him, becuase he knows that i know that there is an expiration date on this strategy, and because i know that that he knows that i know that there is an expiration date on this strategy, i will make an educated bet and predict that he will make units and not a spire, fearing the immediate push and as a result, ultimately die to just "more" of the same stuff ive been making all game" thats as best i can describe it, and spire might not be the best choice. but if dark played that game again, he would have tried to counter it much differently me thinks ro32 and ro16 have had an immense amount of metagaming in them, really weird builds from all the races tbh | ||

I dont think leenock can make it. SKy toss is way to strong in late game. and if toss start playing defensiv with hightempler i dont see how zerg can win. The only way zerg can win vs toss is all in and i dont like it. If Leenock was in group A or B, he would be totally dead. But his group is not that hard, he definitely can make it out. | ||

The guy consistently shows solid play, but keeps getting bopped out by his team mates like Dark and Soo. With proleague being no more and SKT disbanded, he won't get any more chances to play. | ||

Also he won GSL and SSL which are dreams of many people, included Dark and Soo. Obviously you dont have to feel sorry for him. | ||

(P)Classic, who had convincingly beaten (Z)Dark 2-0, gave him a better run for his money, almost breaking him on Cactus Valley with a powerful 2/2 timing attack that was only barely held. | ||
