What's with east Asia and their fundamental misunderstanding of what feminism is? In this article, they think that making fun of penis sizes is feminism.
As a genshin player, I've read multiple posts from Chinese and Korean players on reddit, back when I was still on there, where they refer to the weirdest things as feminism. Sometimes they are against the thing. Sometimes they are for it. But it just doesn't have anything to do with feminism but they keep calling it feminist.
I mean, it happens in the west too. Just look at that whole gamergate debacle.
I feel like it's just way more mainstream over there. Looked into it more after writing the comment you're replying to, and, from how news sites and forums are describing the situation, anti-feminism seems to be to Korean elections what transphobia is to American ones.
That’s fair, it’s certainly a very mainstream view.
