still mad sometimes when i think about asian american cliques who tell me i’m “not that asian” or “not asian enough”. when did you get to decide who’s “asian” enough? what does that even mean?
some have cited the fact that i don’t exclusively date asian. and SO WHAT? how is that a criteria? if it’s about culture, half of y’all don’t even speak an asian language, definitely can’t read, don’t know the history or culture. how are you judging?
i think y’all saying i’m “not that asian” is your registering offense that i’m not a meek asian woman who conforms to your ideas of who i should be - a traditional wife who will be subservient & fawn over your male superiority. well, sorry not sorry.
this anti-asian woman toxicity i’ve seen has been in mostly tech spaces where i spend my time, i can’t speak to other spaces. but my guess is it’s not unique to tech — so many asian men who are specifically misogynistic towards asian women

icymi tl;dr i did an ama on reddit last week and it turned into a complete cesspit of toxicity with 4k+ comments from the troll brigade demonstrating perfectly why i'm working on @blockpartyapp_ and also why silicon valley culture is so fucked blockparty.substack.com/p/ask-me-anyth… 1/
[thread content warning: violence, trauma, harassment]

obviously the great irony is that i got harassed by these thousands of reddit trolls because i am working on anti-harassment software with @blockpartyapp_. it was horrific and traumatizing blockparty.substack.com/p/ask-me-anyth… 2/
some people have accused me of planning this all as a publicity stunt, bc duh "what did you expect." you know what, i SHOULD have known better, esp since @ekp got harassed out of reddit 5+ years ago trying to clean it up, but i was naively optimistic
