East Asia has always had cuteness engrained into their culture. We’ve seen it in K-pop, dramas, anime, idol interactions, and celebrities doing fan service for their audience. You might know it as aegyo, acting kawaii, or sajiao. Segway into our other topic: The term pick me is a label that’s been pretty popular on social media. It describes a person who behaves in a specific manner to make themselves more appealing to others. Last week an influencer started getting famous as a combination of all of these things and people started calling her the cringe Chinese pick-me girl. If you take a look at Asian beauty standards, she basically fits the majority of them in an eerie type of way. Thanks to her strong makeup and with the help of AI filters. We’ll analyze the content she’s been posting on TikTok and her sudden rise to fame seemingly overnight. The Rise of Chinese Pick Me Girls #edvasian

Its creepy to keep saying she turned 18 while pretending to be a literal child. True problems right here.

Yeah, she's attempting to live in the pedophiles' fantasies so the pedophiles can say, "Oh, you're still technically a minor and fresh and new." And when she says she never had a partner because of her age, she's trying to convince those who see her as a child that she has never been touched and is clean, if you know what I mean.

[@iwanttogrowtalleryes1044]

Thank you for clarifying this for everyone. Western and other medias are portraying her and a few other girls who act this way as “normal” and assuming this is Chinese standard, which is definitely not it. She gained her popularity in Chinese social media the same way on western media, where she is being mocked and satirical videos mimicking her are being made. Don’t let a few odd ones that gain attention lead you to believe that the rest of the population is like this. As a Chinese person myself who uses Douyin and all other major mainland medias, acts like these are taken as a joke and people who do act this way and pretend or try too hard to act ‘cool’, or ‘cute’ receive way more criticism than you would expect praise. Take this stuff as a joke and not so seriously.

As a Chinese person I just wanted to say that while acting cute is definitely a cultural thing, doing it to THIS level, where she straight up just sounds like a toddler, is NOT normal. It's weird as hell, and if any man (or anyone for that matter) falls for it, they're at best a f*cking weirdo and at worst they're a p*do / got some weird p*do fetish. The way she keeps repeating that she just turned 18 while acting like she's 4 is disturbing. Edit : My problem isn't whether or not it's satire. My problem is that some people (foreigners) believe it's actually real and assume this is just a "normal" thing in our culture and it contributes to the fetishisation and infantilisation of Chinese women. I just wanted to let people know that this isn't normal. Edit 2 : OMG THANKS FOR 19K- lol, jk, I'm not that kind of person. I just wanted to add that I'm starting to think that none of you knows what satire even is. Satire is a form of criticism over political or social issues, which is NOT what this girl is doing. At most what this girl is doing is trolling, but with her saying in that interview bit that she's doing it to "pander to an audience with a specific fetish", I don't think it's trolling either. It's just gross.

i think it’s important to note that while she is acting childish with her mannerisms and voice, she also has disproportionately large breasts. which we can assume is for the male fanbase - wanting a childlike persona/facial characteristics with a mature female body (curves, large breasts, etc.) really makes you question the morals/ethics of the men that are into this.

I’m just genuinely struggling to see how anyone who’s over 18 and attracted to this behavior is not considered predatory. It’s literally textbook infant behavior. I can’t not see this as p3d0filia even if it is a cultural thing. It’s still exploitation of children. Both boys and girls.

[@blizzaricity7521]

I agree. If you’re into childish behaviour you’re just a p*d*f*l*. It’s behaviour that is most common to underages. If you like that type of behaviour on adults then it is by no means a stretch to say you like it on kids, they say they don’t like on kids it is because it’s illegal. If the age of concern lowered tomorrow they’d jump at the possibility before you could blink.

[@luxurypetscz]

thank you for saying this. I feel like people dance around this being a "fetish" (actually just pedophilic) content by calling it "endearing" or cringe.. it's basically just porn for pedos. I'm willing to bet that most of her audience is split into two categories - haters who actually just give her views and literal pedophiles who get off on this. If her goal was to be cute in the non sexual way, there's no reason for the enhanced breasts and revealing clothes.. they would actually go against that goal.

Pick me’s in China are called “green tea bitch”?

[@carrie9716]

So correct me if I’m wrong but Chinese novels have led me to believe “Green tea bitch” is sort of slightly different from pick me girls in America because “green tea” girls are pretending to be innocent and pure and are often gold diggers who backstab other women for men. They’re also usually dressed cutesy and feminine. Pick me girls are more straightforward in their dislike for other girls and preferences for male friends. They usually just want male validation and aren’t aiming for long term relationships or money or anything. They are tomboyish too, and can make “not wearing makeup/ not being good at makeup ” a whole personality.

[@cornaveli]

[@archonjubael]

Whoa. Fascinating.

[@Octchild85]

Here’s my problem- by constantly saying “I just turned 18.” and really pushing the barely legal baby voice/mannerism, she is purposely playing into the fetishization of the infantilizing women. A lot of female beauty and societal standards are based on women mimicking little girls: shaving off all hair related to puberty, soft high childlike voices, no wrinkles or any sign of aging, etc… It’s deeply disturbing.

[@EinkleinerVogel]

She is trolling, and adult women have no wrinkles, this has nothing to do with looking like a child and being hairless is just about being clean. Plenty of people are hairless, like Asians and humans are attracted to other ”youthful“ humans, it is our nature, our brain understands it as more healthy and this is not about "infantility," most of us associate old age with sickness and etc, that is why most humans go after a mate that is youthful, we always associate youth with good health while old age with bad health, this goes both ways. By the way, I mean 15-25 and not a toddler, these beauty standards are not about mimicking a toddler. Soft voices can be easily explained, it simply sound pleasant to most human ears and there is nothing disturbing about any of these. You are viewing that in such way, so you may be the one with a disturbing mindset.

[@TheProxy066]

[@katherine90815]

Same, my mom expressed a similar sentiment. I feel like she was taught that using sajiao was a way in which women could get what they want. Meanwhile in America, we're taught to be confident and "take" what we want. At least that's my understanding of it all. Interesting cultural difference nevertheless.

[@MrsDaedalus_]

My mum and I are both Chinese immigrants living in Austria, and sajiao will bring us both into fight or flight mode. Many years ago, when we visited family in China, we both went to Chengdu for a couple of days and witnessed how a girl used sajiao on her boyfriend. It was very over the top, to the point where my mum and I both looked at her with shock. Like, what is this kindergarten? We have been in Austria for over 20 years and are not used to this kind of behaviour. It is very bizarre. I personally find it sad that girls in China use sajiao either to get validation from men or to get their way.

Kpop idols especially females were forced to do it by their companies, they themselves absolutely hate it because like every sane human, they find it creepy and embarrassing.

[@lethargic1394]

⁠@@Meher-un-NisaTanveerlet’s not spread lies to demonize other cultures please. A good majority of kpop fandoms are made up of teenagers, and they engage in aegyo AND they cheer for it whenever idols do it. They do it at fan meets and around each other too. Calling it a punishments nd saying they find it embarrassing is so fucking weird and reeks of xenophobia “Like every sane person” get off your fucking high horse. Aegyo isn’t about acting like a child or appealing to childlike sensibilities. It’s literally just acting adorable, the end. People and celebs in the west do it all the time, just because they don’t have a name for it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Stop making shit up or trying to make it what it isn’t just because YOU don’t understand it. Y’all always go to far calling stuff from other cultures pen*filic or inc*stuos just cus you don’t understand it or better put are too prejudiced to care to.
