Do you think K-pop sets a bad image for Asian men?

[Anonymous]

I know Asian men are the most "undesirable" race of men. They're stereotyped as feminine, weak, and uncool. These guys are Asian men and they fit the feminine stereotype perfectly.

K-pop is just Korean version of boy bands it does not represent everything about Asian men. Do boy bands represent everything about Caucasian men?

There many examples of masculine Asian characters but they are not well exhibited in Western pop culture. They tend to feature more in Asian movies and dramas kind of like Samurai types or Warrior types.

I’d post a picture but I don’t have enough XP right now.

What? You need enough XP to post a picture? That's dumb. I've been on this site for too long, I don't remember such a dumb rule.

Yeah maybe Takeshi Kaneshiro and Andy Lau from "House of Flying Daggers"

Some people will argue that they do, but with the increase of K-Pop in the West, it's kind of a good thing.

[Asker]

I'd argue with that because like I said, there's a stereotype that Asian men are feminine or can't be manly. These are feminine Asian men, so they're just spreading that stereotype. It hurts their own people.

Asian men's popularity is increasing though especially amongst Black women.

[Asker]

But they're still seen as feminine. That's not a good thing. Most girls don't want feminine men.

[NerdInDenial]

but they're popular and people comment on how good looking they are.

[Asker]

And who said their popularity is increasing "among black women"? 😂😂

Based on my experience and noticing the reactions to KPOP music videos

[jennifer_bloom]

I don’t even view them as good looking even though I like graceful looking guys. Their appearance is too common and lacks creativity and their facial characteristics are either non-existent or exaggerated - I like natural looking people with unique but subdued facial features.

I don't think anyone lets K-Pop bands set their image of Asian men, any more than the WWE or WWF set the image of white men.

I think you've answered your own question.
