Last night's #XmenTAS watch brings us plenty of killer gifs, starting with a supercut of Rogue kicking ass, because we deserve it. 👊💥 @xmentas
everyone's faces when they hear X-Men '97 is gonna be a thing
but you still gotta sit through relatives' hot takes over the holidays
me popping in when someone asks about that incredibly niche thing I do
relentlessly sending memes to the crew all day like
furiously waiting for X-men '97 to drop

True to form, @sachihirayama shows us she does not actually value accuracy in her attacks against "foreign" scholars, she is simply trying to foment as much anger as possible, even if it means lying to her thousands of followers. This is why there is no meaning in debating them. Image
Rather than accurately translate, she would rather see words related to discrimination in the content, ignore the actual meaning, & accuse the writer of being racist. Ethan posted a historical cartoon, EXPLAINING how it was racist, & they attacked him.
She relies on followers being willing to accept what she says at face value. She either knows they will maliciously agree with whatever she says, or she that they are too ignorant to interpret it themselves. Perhaps they are too scared to call her out for her misinterpretations.

For those who are interested in what else you can read on the topic of historical denialism, comfort women history, and all the harassment visited upon digitally-engaged scholars since early 2021, here's a list of links, starting with yesterday's article: criticalasianstudies.org/commentary/202…
The article I've just published with @CriticAsianStds grew out of a first draft for a shorter introduction for those first coming to these issues (a broader audience), which I was invited to publish with @TokyoReview: tokyoreview.net/2021/05/ramsey…
Shortly after Ramseyer's original publication became A Thing that had clear, recognizably global implications, @JeannieSGersen wrote a fabulous piece about it for the @NewYorker: newyorker.com/culture/annals…

I made myself a regular schedule (work in the mornings at a coffee shop, then a trip to the gym, then errands) so I felt I could disconnect. I also organized regular happy hours with other overseas researchers because being outside our usual communities can be very isolating!
I also made regular study dates with friends--traveling around to find new coffeeshops, working together on tasks I knew were achievable, while also getting socializing/commiseration in.
I also had to learn to be more cognizant that I was the person who knew my experience best. It became exhausting to hear "You must be having an AMAZING time on abroad!!" when stress & loneliness was a struggle. It can hurt to have others' expectations contradict your experience.

"Won't you have an online debate?" "Debate me" culture is a tactic often seen in media punditry & extremist online communities. A Catch-22. If the target accepts the demand, they acknowledge the premise of the argument as valid. If they refuse, they are called cowardly or wrong.
Oftentimes these demands for debate are made knowing that that target is aware it is a logical trap--it is a tactic not intended for actual debate to take place, because the challenger knows they won't accept. The goal is to try to make yourself look good and your enemy look bad.
I will say it again, for the zillionth time, you don't owe anyone your time and energy who is a bad faith actor and who is not willing to meet you on premise of academic integrity, truth, and mutual respect.
