don't use God's Name in vain, Exodus 20:7 forbids it. Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Racism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

i think the negative development of the world in general might actually have had some impact on the specific phenomenon, since in times of vulnerability, despair, insecurity or grief, people often turn to their cultures to seek comfort and belonging (good example is the revival of ukrainian traditions by younger ukrainians after russia attacked ukraine). People that don't have a specific culture to turn to or even just have a feeling of cultural disconnect might therefore experience the desire to belong to another culture so they could seek reassurance there. I'm not sure if this is right, i just think it might be a good explanation for the change you have observed and it is something i have personally struggled with, so i kind of see how a person might go to such drastic lengths, even though i most definitely don't agree with it

It is so weird to see culture vultures move on from Black culture to East Asian cultures.. I am sure it is not the same exact people but more of the general encouragement to be a culture vulture in our messed up society. Black culture was still stigmatized and demonized even when it was being appropriated, but it is even worse again now that it is "out of fashion." Will the same thing happen to East Asian cultures in the next decade? Edit: Black culture and East Asian cultures have been appropriated in the U.S. for way longer than just the last decade or so of social media. I am referring to what is the most common "trend" on social media for culture vultures to latch onto. This kind of behavior has always existed and will continue to exist unless we have a positive shift away from it. But unfortunately culture vulture behavior is getting pushed by social media and even the media and that is why you can see a shift between the main target of culture vultures going from Black culture to East Asian cultures. Appropriation of Black culture is still happening regardless.

Plus people are still adopting black culture as a costume and misusing slang. So there isn’t any “moving on.”

For context, I believe subliminals have like positive affirmations that are really quiet underneath the music, as your subconscious brain is theorized to pick up on them even if your conscious brain does not. That being said, there is no scientific evidence for their efficacy, so take it with a grain of salt. If you want to watch subliminals, watch things that you can actually change, like ones about exam results and self confidence, not your physical features. At least then they may function like positive affirmation videos.

Subliminals are just another way of manifesting, it’s repeated affirmations lowered to where you can’t really hear it but to where you can hear whispers. The affirmations will most likely be positive based on what that person is trying to manifest. Not everyone uses music though, some people use HZ frequencies, or no music/frequencies at all. People probably used silent subs before KZbin became a thing. You’re right about the subconscious mind picking up the affirmations even when the conscious mind doesn’t. *There’s actually lots of scientific proof, I can give you some articles if you want me to.* There is also lots of proof on Reddit though, I’ve seen people drastically change their looks and I’m also one of those people (but I didn’t drastically change my face, just lost weight, cleared up acne more, and my nose became slimmer but that’s not the only thing I used subliminals for I’ve also used it to make myself more confidence) If you can manifest anything like exam grades & self confidence.. you can obviously change your appearance too. Your subconscious mind listens to anything. Many people just get into subliminals thinking they can get anything they want without doing their actual research on it and they pay for subliminals too but they don’t know they can also create subliminals themselves. Anyone in this comment section being disrespectful about this really need to be mindful because these are apart of people’s practices and cultures, people are so ignorant and close-minded fr. 💀

These race weebs would be shook if they actually came here and saw what Japanese ppl actually look like.

I wanted to look more mature a find a unique style. When I moved abroad and I was surrounded by a lot of different ethnicities I suddenly realized how cool my own ethnicity is. I still studied Japanese and spent an amazing year in Japan, but it became more of an interest in sociology than aestetics. I discovered many dark sides of Japanese culture and honestly I would not want to be Japanese, especially not a Japanese woman. I fully embraced my culture and I am proud of some of my Eastern features such as thin lips and nose. I cringe when I remember my "Japanese phase" and I really think young people shouldn´t be allowed to get any surgeries or treatments to alter their appearance permanently for this reason. Most of them will really grow out of it.

so for the subliminals, there’s supposed to be quiet affirmations (i am japanese, i have monolids, etc.) that are so quiet that only your subconscious can hear it an process it. i’ve never heard of any scientific proof that those videos actually work to *change your dna* but people still believe they can fully change your physical features

[@skyepleasehealwearedying]

yeah there’s no scientific proof but people seem 2 believe because of fake results and just how aesthetic they look personally I think listening to subs can make you feel better and feel more confident in your looks or whatever you are trying to change but no they can’t really physically change you… but people will argue to death about this without realising they are being used as cash mules it’s kinda sad because when I was younger I really believed about it with my whole heart and gaslighted myself into thinking I had results I even sent them to people and makers and they would post them and everyone would be like “woah look at her results!” now I look at those photos and I’m like how did people think they were different 🤨 I mean you can find real solutions to wtv you are trying to change about yourself and stop wasting your time but do it if you feel good it is your life girlie x😚

As a Syrian female this actually broke my heart like how can someone just want to change their ethnicity to a different ethnicity just because they like it or think it’s cool but don’t want to experience the stereotypes and racism that the Native people of those countries have experienced. It’s so wrong and awful. Nobody should be ashamed of being a specific ethnicity or race.

As a young, white teenage girl, I can't imagine acting like some of these people. Of course, I can see the appeal of looking like someone I find attractive or pretty, going to the lengths some of these people do is just so incredibly weird. There's such a difference in appreciating something and then... whatever this is. I wish these people could realize how wrong this all is and some of the hypocrisy behind it all. Idk, it's just all so weird. Can't even remember what I wanted to say anymore lol. loved the video though!! didn't realize this was such a big thing... doesn't help how it gives bad rep to other communities who may have ties who mean nothing but good :/

[@cocoooo222]

As a young, white teenager myself, i could not agree more. You can envy a certain country of ppl for their cultures and qualities, but going to these lengths is crazy. Race/ethnicity is alot deeper than the colour of your skin or your facial features, but it also ties to your background, where you come from, and everything like that. The fact these ppl are delulu enough to believe they change the entirety of that just by listening to a random edited song on youtube is crazy to me. I believe in being able to manifest certain desires, but it’s just insane that ppl think you can change who/where you come from just like that. It’s actually very sad, as these types of people are obviously in the depths of insecurity and self hatred that they would wanna change what they look like.

[@HyperpopDiamond]

You know people grew up getting bullied for being Asian and now people these days WANT to be Asian and are changing their races and ethnicity’s. I just hope these kids learn to accept themselves and learn who they are is perfect but I know it’s hard but just trying to change yourself just remember is perfect.

TLDR; I was rcta and here's my story So I'm a white boy who just turned 14 and always has been white and always will be, I know this now. At the time about a few months ago I started looking into the subliminal community, it started out with mostly harmless stuff like "be smart" and "have good looks" When looking for manifestation info I noticed all the models and girls were Asian, I just kind of thought "wow I wish I could be as pretty" And if you have existed anywhere NEAR the subliminal community you KNOW how EA centric it is, not that that's a bad thing it just made me obsessed with Korean beauty standards. That's when I found a look Asian subliminal. My first thought was "Wow that's really weird" and I moved on, but after more and more insecurity and mental health shit I listened to it, I wanted to be pretty. All the comments said "Tim Asian but I don't mind" and other things like that. It was an echo chamber of youtube comments. I had always felt Asian girls were prettier. And I just wanted to feel pretty. But I fell deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole of mostly "be Chinese" sublimianls. My reasoning was just that I thought I could have a community, a family, and several people that we all had in common. I existed in such an echo chamber that I never heard anything negative because it hadn't exploded yet, but then it did. I stopped listing to sublimianls and forgot about the whole thing. I recently got access to tiktok for the first time and noticed how much RCTA was being talked about. It made me sad. I didn't realize how many people had fallen down this rabbit hole of shit. And here's the truth. they are all teenage girls in an echo chamber thinking it's ok. the beauty standards on the internet are currently leaning more toward Asian which I think is great, but also that means this is a side effect of that. I am now trying to unravel the damage it did and trying to love myself for how I was born and connecting with my culture ( even though I'm a saltine soldier ) and I hope every rcta kid can too. If you see one of these kids, don't tell them to kill themselves, just tell them it's ignorant and they should love themselves for who they are. And I hope this can provide some insight for the people watching. I'm sorry to the Asian community for fetishizing you guys and turning your culture into an inconsequential matter of looks. I hope this can provide some perspective. Love yall pookies

[@AKIRA-we4hd]

LOL don't worry, I think people don't know the loophole. And that is you don't have to be East Asian to date someone East Asian, and there could be East Asian that wanna bang White guys because they are their ideal type. Anyway, race is not important. And people only really reject a partner if the other person is in poverty or on drugs.

"you're asian. you're asian. you're asian. you're asian." really got me man. you know, i think the benefit we had as people who were kids before right now is that when we _were_ the age one typically explores their own experience in this way, tiktok didn't exist. we had our cringe "i wish i was literally ariana grande" moments in relative private. (i wanted green eyes. my hair was fine. it was the eyes that were the problem, i decided.) but hey, it's easy for us all to talk about them like they're not in the room. i'm really interested to see what they'll all have to say about this when they're older.
