Korean news: “witnesses report that he yelled he was going to murder all the Asians”
American news: “we don’t know if this is a hate crime but the cops said he had a bad day”
🙃
I just saw someone say Zuko can't be a colonizer because he's not white and I'm sorry but Japanese imperialism exists and Imperial Japan has colonized/invaded many countries including but not limited to: Korea, China, Ryukyu, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, etc
Yoon Yeo-Jung said in a Korean interview after the Oscars that Plan B didn't give Minari enough funds to work with so she had to use her own money to upgrade her flights back and forth between America and Korea.
Weebs being inadvertently radicalized into becoming right-wing Japanese nationalists happens far too often on this site. We get it, you like anime. Doesn't mean you have to become a war crime apologist, though.
On March 1st, 1919 - Koreans rallied for a free Korea.
On this March 1st, I’m asking you to rally for a free Palestine. Liberation around the world stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine. 강부터 바다까지 팔레스타인은 자유로우리!
March 1st marks the 100th year anniversary of the 3.1 Movement in Korea. 100 years ago, Koreans took to the streets to protest against the forced occupation of Korea by Japan. In remembrance of all those who fought for Korean Independence, #대한독립만세!

I've been seeing this happen a lot recently on my TL so I just wanted to say that if you are non-Asian and drawing Asian characters with literal yellow skin and slits for eyes, you should take a moment to consider why you choose to depict us that way.
So it's ridiculous that this is being framed in Western media as "omg Yoon Yeo-Jung fangirls Brad Pitt how relatable!!!"
The fact that an American reporter literally asked her how Brad Pitt smells and she answered "I'm not a dog"... I love her.
She specifically asked "where were you during filming?" to Brad Pitt during her acceptance speech because he was a producer on Minari and Plan B is his company. She was being cheeky & she said asked him to better fund his future films when she walked off the stage.
As an artist on social media, I have only TWO moods when it comes to seeing other people's cool art... either unwavering admiration of my fellow artists or crippling anxiety
Non-Koreans and non-Chinese fans making fun of Korean & Chinese generational trauma over a comic is truly the Worst. “It happened decades ago!” Yeah, Becky - there are people still alive today who went through WWII.
Can't believe the Academy Awards got to host the internationally recognized cast of South Korean film Parasite... what an honor for such a small local show to be graced by Bong Joon Ho's presence
So Cal Koreans - the sweet old lady at Seoul Hanbok in Garden Grove is thinking about closing her store due to COVID. She’s going to be marking everything up to 50% off starting on Nov 1st - so please go give her some love.

Now that
#TokyoOlympics
is underway, let's talk about Olympic medalists Sohn Kee-chung (손기정) and Nam Sung-yong (남승룡) - who were forced to compete under the Japanese flag during the 1936 Olympics.

Being a feminist and a decent human being capable of empathy for women or supporting a k-pop idol who helped perpetrate sexual violence against Korean women. Choose one. You cannot be both.
LRT - Please, I'm begging kids to take internet safety seriously. You don't need to list information about yourself online!! I know internet culture is different today and people are open books on social media but you don't have to do that. Protect yourselves, stay safe!
It's disappointing when big name creators who should know better conflate Asian cultures together. Hiring a Japanese director under the umbrella of "Asian" to tell a story about a mixed Korean child whose mother is a Korean War refugee is... to put it lightly shortsighted.
I promise to cut down on talking about this but a Japanese fan told a Chinese fan "stop reading Japanese manga if you don't like Japan" and the Chinese fan replied "stop using kanji if you don't like China" and I'm SCREAMING!!! THE CLAPBACK!!!
my brother told me "we gucci" and i was like "what if i don't wanna be gucci? what if i want to be prada?" and he responded immediately without missing a beat "be prada yourself" like be proud of yourself and im shook
he's too strong now
During WWII, the Imperial Japanese government forced hundreds of thousands of women into sexual slavery. This International Women's Day, I want everyone to remember all the "comfort women" and their continued fight. (A thread)

The way French artists have [checks notes] started a literal hashtag in support of the white woman profiting off of images of Asian girls being brutalized instead of listening to the many Asian artists who have spoken up about this is par for the course!!
Frankly, I don't have strong opinions about Brad Pitt and Plan B so you can stop @-ing me in their defense because I don't care - I just wanted to point out that the American media framing her reaction as "fangirling" is wrong given her Korean interviews.

also like... CANONICALLY IN ATLA... the Fire Nation is absolutely a colonial power that invaded other countries like you don't even need to look at historical comparisons
You know all those stories about how people who like yellow are extra about really liking yellow??? Well, turns out they’re all true and I’m one of them 😌
Here's my Very Korean
#spidersona
!! I love hanbok too much not to incorporate it into the design. (Her shoes are based on kkotshin~) Please go watch
#SpiderVerse
if you haven't yet and then tell me about your spidersona!
More proof photos from the manufacturer! These knights will be arriving on Monday. I can't wait to take better photos once they get here~
You can preorder them here if you'd like:
Please stop calling McCree's new skin racist... it's literally the military uniform (구군복) worn by magistrates (사또). The hat is an actual part of the outfit and is in no way racist???
I'm begging white creatives to stop building their entire art brand off of Japanese names/aesthetics and then acting surprised when it comes to bite them in the ass. You can just make cute things without naming your brand a random Japanese word!!
"Who cares if people want to name their babies after BTS? It's not harming anyone!!" Okaaaaay, but can we recognize that non-Koreans giving kids Korean names IS uncomfortable and fetishistic? Especially when said name is completely removed from its cultural context?
Don’t you love it when you get threatening messages because a customer didn’t realize they’d have to pay customs fees and now they’re blaming you for it???
If you order internationally, please understand that artists have no control over your country’s customs and taxes!

korean twitter being collectively horny for the uruguay coach, tweeting that they want to make him cry (in a perverted way) and then being attacked by uruguay fans bc the horniness was lost in translation and it was taken literally
lmao world cup
OMG
@JustinMcElroy
just stopped by my table and insisted on giving me money for my TAZ poster and when I tried to not accept it he just walked away yelling “I’m supporting artists!!!”
Thank you so much for stopping by 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Please - if you are at a convention, do NOT move things around on an artist's display because of your "ships". It might seem funny to move characters around, but artists have to get up and fix their displays multiple times throughout the weekend when attendees do this.
Liking anime doesn't mean you have to bend of backwards to justify Japanese imperialism but some of you just won't take off your rising sun flag tinted glasses 🙃
As cons are coming back - please consider continuing to wear masks regardless of if you’re vaccinated or not! It’ll make artists and vendors feel more safe attending shows so we can pay our rent!
If you're wondering why so many artists are freaking out about con cancellations, here's a quick explanation. This year, I had 15 confirmed conventions. 5 just cancelled in the span of a week or so. That means I'm out 1/3 of my 2020 income!
Happy New Year!! 🎉 I'm giving away a norigae to start off 2020! Just like/retweet and leave a comment and tell me "Happy New Year" in your language (any language)~
I'll pick a winner on 1/7. Good luck and may 2020 bring you lots of joy! 새해 복 많이 받으세요!
This is why you shouldn’t repost art!!! My friend’s drawing was reposted and the repost got more likes and the official Good Omens account replied to it thinking the reposter was the original artist.
Please be kind to artists and RETWEET instead of reposting!
Remember when I said I was buying a gat? This is very far removed from the casual hanbok I normally wear but for everyone who prefers more a more masculine style, you can still totally achieve that with casual hanbok!
If you’re Japanese/of Japanese-descent and you make an entire thread calling a Korean artist “nasty” in defense of the Rising Sun flag, I’m just gonna assume you’re not a good person who doesn’t actually care about your country’s war crimes.
“Be thankful that K-pop fans commodify and fetishize Korean culture” is the wildest take someone has @‘d me today. Thanks, Twitter! Please go back to “not giving a shit” about Korea, I beg you.
This specific flag was drawn over a Japanese flag with ink by Korean freedom fighters during the Japanese occupation of Korea and it was found at Jingwansa temple in 2009 with a bunch of resistance newspapers wrapped inside it - and I think that's metal as fuck.
Are you a diaspora Korean who is worried about what other Koreans might think of you as you try to reconnect with your language and culture? (Especially after reading last night's debacle?)
Well, here is a thread of encouragements from Koreans in Korea:
Can we not shame creators who are making the incredibly difficult choice to still table at ECCC? For some artists, cancelling this show might literally mean they may be unable to pay rent and bills. Stop characterizing basic survival as "greed".
A Korean-American adoptee criticized Omaha mayor's decision to impose a curfew in response to the protests and the mayor responded by saying that Hangul is random symbols for Facebook trolls 🤡
box: cute mint green casing and bright white backlight for all your whimsical needs!
actual product: pitch black casing and immediate red kill aura when you turn the light on... for m u r d e r
this is the one time i truly feel misled by the packaging
8/14 is "Comfort Women" Remembrance Day. On August 14th, 1991 - Kim Hak Soon halmoni first gave a public testimony about her experiences as a survivor of sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese military. Today, we remember her and countless other survivors.
During WWII, the Imperial Japanese government forced hundreds of thousands of women into sexual slavery. This International Women's Day, I want everyone to remember all the "comfort women" and their continued fight. (A thread)

Don't use the Korean candlelight protests to tear down Black protests in America. We're not here so you can use your model minority politics to demonize Black people. Look at Gwangju. Look at Jeju.
artists: Here are some neat tutorials! Support your local print shops! Here are the specific markers I use! Join group orders!
some people: If you don’t tell me the name of the exact factory & a step by step formatting guide, you are personally stunting my art career, gatekeeper
