Hey folks, there's a convo about Beef that I hope you're keeping up with. We can't ignore this just for Asian American representation sake. This is not the type of representation I want and you shouldn't either. There is nothing funny about rape jokes.

Here's the video that was pulled off of twitter by Choe's own company #BEEFNetflix :
Choe laughs stating that he was a successful rapist. He uses MRAsian language about the general under sexualization of Asian men and basically says what every person who educates abt rape warns: rape is not about sex, but about power. He got a power trip from it.
I really can't tell you how many of my Asian friends online have been attacked by MRAsians when we call them out. Folx get doxxed, harassed and threatened. We must root this out of our community. We don't need toxic masculinity or anti-blackness to ensure representation.
I said jokes b/c Choe stated that he was saying this for "shock value." But I finally found the vid & I don't think what he was saying was a joke. He was way to descriptive for him to pull it out of the air. The fact that the other men in the room keep him going is disturbing.
As a final post to this thread, representation is just not worth promoting or profiting off a self alleged rapist. I want representation, but not at the cost of BIPOC women being abused, gas-lit, and silenced. That's my BEEF.
