  • Nutrition tho…

    The focus on weight, specifically, is a mistake. Health is far more than just weight. Eating junk food is bad, full stop, and will cause issues for health no matter your portions. This is the problem.

    Diabetes, risk of cancer, addiction, malnutrition, even mental health problems, all are risk factors on a diet of processed food, even so-called “healthy” diets.

    Yeah, the complicated nature is that Chinese people weren’t offended, and white people were.

    Yes, it was a kimono. A qinao is a type of kimono. As it says in the article.

    I’m not lying, and I haven’t made any claims other than that this incident was a false alarm. Don’t confuse me for the other user.

    For the record, my view is that cultural appropriation is a real and serious issue, but some people are quick to jump the gun with such accusations, out of a misplaced (and potentially racist) paternalistic need to “defend” marginalised people, as if they themselves can’t call people out, especially when said people are saying such a thing isn’t even offensive, just like the OP.

    See? That’s the complicated part. I can actually describe it. You didn’t even try. Just waved at the word as if it made your point for you.

    No, you can’t, and don’t try and gaslight me about it.

    You’re either being serious or you’re not. You can’t change your intent based on the response.

    And FYI, critical thinking is exactly what enables me to see through this, taking me from “maybe this guy’s just clueless” to “nah just a troll”.
