Yeah... fuck off with that?

I am Chinese with a lot of Chinese family. This is not some unique and elevated humor that westerners do not understand. It is the same self deprecating humor that is increasingly prevalent in all cultures (that have been exposed to similar media...) combined with the equivalent of "ha ha, wouldn't it be funny if we kissed .ha ha ha . What a joke. ha ha. But what if we did? Ha ha ha".

Same with the truly disgusting misogynistic shit that asshole has said. It is a "joke" in the same way it was "just a joke" when people were testing the water on being magats.

The only thing that is "cultural" about this is the tendency for East Asians (but especially Chinese) to assume that everyone else is fucking stupid and that they just have to say it is a joke to ignore all consequences. And... that has been regularly demonstrated to be true so I guess the joke is on us?


Do I think he was tearing his shirt in agony and screaming in pain? No (although apparently Alannah Pearce and the people in her section saw him crying when he lost...). But there is very much the fundamental truth of "I deserved to win so this must be bullshit if I didn't and I wasted my time by coming to an awards ceremony that doesn't understand how amazing I am".

Which... DOES have a lot of ties to East Asian culture (the idea that you are either best or worst) coupled with the fucked up number that the one child policy did on people.
