I think that some eyeliners that change your eye shape aren’t exactly problematic, the real problem is people pretending to be asian

[@melonaaddict2495]

yee like it doesn't matter if you do eyeliner to make your eyes more slanted, do whatever you like, but if you start calling it "asian eyeliner" or some shit like that, or start perpetuating stereotypes combined with doing mildly questionable makeup, that's...... q u e s t i o n a b l e to say the least

i’m hispanic so i’m not one to really speak on this but from videos by asian creators (ofc however obviously they’re not speaking for everyone so) that are talking about what’s fine & what’s not fine, i’ve learned it depends on how u change ur eye shape. someone could openly say they’re white but if they’re going crazy with waterlines and extending their eye dramatically it’s problematic nonetheless

I'm from the Northeast part of India - indo-burman ethnicity. We often get racist comments from Indian mainlanders 'cause we look "different" from them lol.

And we don't relate much to Indian culture, food and lifestyle or the stereotypes even though we're part of it.

I liked your video but then you had a go at South & West Asians for relating and also talking about their issues. But the title of your video isn't East Asian fishing - It's called Asian fishing so that comment felt strange. Obviously the cultures and experiences are different but there's nothing wrong with South and West asians calling themselves Asian as they are Asian. In the UK, Asian is actually mostly referred to South Asians

[@pandasnot1778]

Yes. It kind of alienated South and West Asians, saying that they should be proud they don’t deal with this when S & W Asians deal with colorism and racism and don’t even get regarded as Asian because they don’t look East Asian. On top of that, North East Indians look like the stereotypical East Asians, so this was harmful to them because they can very well feel disgusted at the Star Wars thing.

[@ArteV01]

It felt extremely weird when she brought up south Asians. I’m Indian and lots of Indians (especially North eastern Indians) have monolids and other similar feature to East Asians and they get bullied for their features. Yes Indians probably shouldn’t have been inserting themselves in the Star Wars video but when it comes to asianfishing there is a large population of Indians who relate to the struggles and are constantly excluded from the conversation :/

[@theskaterdude90]

there's a palpable tendency by some members of East Asian communities to just equate Asia to East Asia. They will often times generically use the term 'Asia' when referring only to their exact part of the world and just assume everyone knows what they mean. That's a form of exalting their own cultures over other Asian cultures

[@scintilla1_1]

that's the problem, there is no need for south and west Asians to insert themselves in any of these issues, cause they have no relation to them whatsoever. All races and groups of people face colorism and racism. In the video, she mentioned specifically east Asian for a reason like I don't understand why west and south Asians always have to play the victim card in all situations, like nobody asked, I'm being honest if there was a genuine thing to do with them, it would make sense, but otherwise it's just seeking for validation and attention.

[@sourpuss5951]

The opposite of what you mentioned exists as well. Monolids are NOT a feature exclusive to East Asians, as well are there being Asians that don't have monolids. It's even a somewhat common feature among the natives on the other side of the world in the Americas. There are both white and black people that just naturally have monolids without being mixed. I'm not trying to downplay all the real issues shown in the video, it's just there are still a lot of assumptions like this out there that are only fanning the flames.

[@ang4987]

@@sourpuss5951 To be fair its quite rare for white people to have epicanthal folds (and even rarer for them to have monolids). And natives descended from northeast Asia so in a way it still is kind of a northeast-east-southeast asian feature. Black people also have certain ethnic groups that have epicanthal folds but again its definitely more rare however much more common than white people. I also see a lot of people confuse hooded eyes with monolids and epicanthal folds to try to prove that they have natural "asian" features and it makes me cringe ngl. So basically my point is, saying asiatic eyes are not exclusive to east asians is correct however it makes it seem like its very common feauture for people who are not native or northeast-east-southeast asian. Spreading this message just seems to cause a lot of confusion everywhere (I have seen so many people with almond shaped eyes or hooded eyelids saying they have asiatic eyes when its so painfully obvious they don't as an excuse for making themselves appear more asian or "exotic (ugh i hate that word I'm sorry).

We get fetishized and sexualised because people view us as "exotic" and "sexy" like the "sexy arab belly dancer" stereotype, and we get our culture appropriated and fetishized even sexualised too, such as belly dancing and the costumes, our traditional clothing and henna, on top of all that we get told we're not "real asians".

Hi boo! I like your videos, that's why I kindly wanna point it out to you, that India is a massive country and shares border with China. Many of its residents share features what you call 'East Asian features', so painting a entire country with one of the most diverse population with one stroke, kinda adds to the already existing problem. They suffer from the same issues you are talking about, so just saying 'completely different people' is kinda tragic. If you get time, have a quick look at racial diversity among Asia- you might be surprised by how similar we are (racially and culturally)

It’s hard for people to take these things seriously when we have non-Asians accusing everyone under the sun of Asian fishing just because of their eyeliner or natural eye shape. I was on Tiktok yesterday and I remember watching a south east ASIAN man be accused of Asian-fishing lmao Plus another African girl on tiktok who has slanted, up-ward eyes is accused everyday for Asian-fishing. Reminder that not only East Asians have slanted eyes.. Lastly, “Asian-fishing” is actually called Yellowface, as it dates way back to when white European/American men would purposely portray themselves as East Asians for theatre. They would paint their faces, slant their eyes, and sometimes even give each other “buckteeth”. This still happens today with White actors/actresses taking the roles meant for Asians (ex: Cloud Atlas). I also recommend watching “Yellowface is a bad look, Hollywood” on KZbin by Vox. ❗️Edit❗️: I believe Asian fishing is when someone pretends to be asian by editing their facial features and lying to everyone that they’re asian. Like..fooling the public into thinking your asian and it’s hard to not believe them. Which is why I don’t believe that dark-skin black people can “asian-fish” just because they have slanted/small eyes lol they’re either half asian or not- but they can’t fake it. Also with plenty other races/ethnicities who are randomly accused of asian-fishing just for their natural facial features😒 So yes, after reading the replies I realized the differences between Asian fishing and yellow-face! I’m glad that people replied to this and let me know!! 😊

[@ThatGirlJD]

Yellowface is different, it's like Blackface in the sense it's sole purpose is to make Asians look bad like Blackface is used to make Black people look bad, using all the stereotypes they find to negative. Asian Fishing is like Black fishing, it's used to "pass" as anther race or look ambiguously mixed with that race by taking all the features and stereotypes that they think are attractive. Both have a negative effect on the community they target and try to appropriate. Soon they are going to start Blasian fishing, if the haven't already.

Her mother basically forced her to act all innocent and dress in the Loli style to make her look like a 'Doll' and started getting Internet fame when she was 15 years old. Venus mum would force her to send rude messages / take venus phone and threaten other creators who had the same theme/dress style as her. In 2015 when she was 19,she had a boyfriend called Manikai. That's when all of this information unravels, when she reveals that her mum kept trying to delete the couples images from venus Insta account and making up rumours about him. Many people realised that the majority of 'Venus' tweets/post captions were eerily a similar typing style to her mothers. Venus ended up running away from her mother. And then her mother turned all the hate towards Venus. Trying to bring her reputation down etc. Basically it all spiralled out of control and now Venus has an only fans account and is apparently looking to join the adult film industry, and has started taking drugs etc. Her mother is still obsessed with hating her, and even posts her onlyfans images on Instagram with hateful comments.

6:48 this kinda eyeliner is very common in India and other Arab countries for years . I don't think its related to East Asian fishing.

[@Luckyyyy2008]

I hope I don't offend anyone but north eastern indians look very similar to east Asians and various cultures are similar too, north eastern Indians often face discrimination, bullying and harassment towards them due to their appearance, it was wrong of you to lump all of india which is an extremely diverse country in a single term without properly learning about it.

Thank you!

One thing that’s always bothered me was that people will steal or copy parts of POC features or cultures for an aesthetic and then when those features are on an actual POC, they are told they are white passing or when a POC complains, that they are overreacting

yep, the "oriental brow lift" really pisses me off. so tired of agencies giving white models with this surgery jobs instead of giving it to poc models

Why is any of this an actual problem? Why would it be considered "stealing" when all some people like to do is look a certain way. They like the look so why is that so wrong? I don't see the problem regardless of whatever race is doing it. I mean, skin bleaching is dangerous in the sense that it can cause mercury poisoning, so if it's actually harmful, then sure, I understand.

I feel like you are talking about 3 white people and 2 poc in this story.

I'm not asian but i grew up in a heavily asian-populated city so most of my girl-friends at school were east asian. Submissive? Innocent? Child-like? Hm- mos of them were living riots. Loved them for that.

As a southeast asian guy i agree that im also asian. came to china to taiwan and landed to south east asia

I think there’s a distinct difference between wanting to cosplay and do your makeup like a cartoon character, and simply taking on the looks of a completely different race. I guess it comes down to the intent on whether it’s style/aesthetic or just plain trying to be something that you’re not. A lot of older goth makeup does the sleek looking cat eye with the pointed inner corners but they do it for style and not trying to be another race.

[@Anon00113]

They literally add Korean/Japanese to their bios, speak broken Japanese/Korean, and dress in traditional schoolgirl clothes, along with hashtag “KaWaiii” and “UlZzAnG” and they stand pigeon toed on purpose to copy how a lot of Asian people stand/walk, and change their personas to anime girls. It’s rampant and anyone who says it’s not is in denial. I see it all over Instagram too and it’s sad and it needs to be brought up and shamed, the same way it’s done when they try to black fish.

[@raccoon.pies.]

@@Anon00113 exactly and it’s so strange to see how people could take like an interest in j-fashion or anime or kpop and take it way too far. Personally I don’t think at lot of them understand the meaning of what they’re saying considering what they want is the kawaii/anime girl or kpop star aesthetic which is just a stereotype and nothing to do with actually being asian in the way they are claiming

[@randomwatcher965]

@@Anon00113 as a black minor this is terrifying, it makes me absolutely disgusted that white people are banking off of features of poc that used to be mocked, is now “kAwaIi” or “TrEndy” them pushing this stereotype is so harmful to the asian community. I hope this situation dies, but I keep seeing these new accounts of these white women still pushing the stereotype and “appearing” asian. I hate it so much, why just why

You can tell between an Asian fisher, and an actual Asian, USUALLY Asian fishers over exaggerate the eyes of an Asian.
