OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe,

Not a buzzkill, but definitely a little narrow in view on this issue. You named ‘why’ South Asian men get the brunt end of these memes in that they have a high population of partial-english speaking men with unrestricted internet access and a culture that tends patriarchal but then immediately ask why they get the brunt end?

In what way is this painting all South Asian men in an infantilizing light and what lead you to read so deeply into this particular image that suggests there’s a dynamic of “ew, nasty foreign brown man could never get white western perfection”? That just seems like some insecurities put to page and not a genuine reading of the situation.

People absolutely make fun of other sexual harrassers, why the penchant to point out this one? Why do they need to be funny? Sexual harassment doesn’t have to be mocked with a positive intent, we SHOULD call out sex pests, and when people get mad about calling out sex pests we should call those people out too.

Your whole comment gave off a patronizing vibe. It sounds you you explain away the behavior exhibited from those shitty dudes by saying it’s their society and “sorry women, it happens from all angles though so why not take that frustration and be sure to distribute it evenly”. That kind of of attitude is so detrimental to the overall ending of the exact situation happening in the meme.

As a side note, purely anecdotal, MOST of the goofiest, silliest-ass cat calls I’ve ever seen have been from that part of the world. Not to say it won’t be said in Italian, German, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Czhechian, or whatever, but they seemingly have the good sense to say it in a language they can properly contextualize so they don’t become the next Show Me Your Bobs.
