P.S. Vancouver is a notoriously difficult place for online dating (and making friends in general). Google results will skew toward people complaining about that.

I wouldn’t be engaging with you if I felt no empathy for you. I’m honestly baffled by how different your experience is from literally every Asian man I’ve ever known — athletic, bookish, geeky/nerdy, meek, macho, etc... — doesn’t matter.

IIRC he first popped up on that article about Simu Liu having once posted on a Reddit channel for Asian MRAs, and Chan’s been here ever since, defending that channel’s weird thesis.

Yeah, I know. I’ve been seeing him comment here for months. He just happened to be out of the greys and with a few replies already, so I decided to chime in for once.

Uh, no. White supremacists also frame interracial couples as an existential threat, and a reduction of ‘their’ dating pool.

Yes.

LA-privileged specifically.

Oh shit! I guess I misremembered. The way he described it, I thought it was bad-old-days Saint-Henri.

I don’t think he speaks French.

Ahhh cool. It did feel rhetorical. Just wanted to add context by pointing out the changing norms thing. Didn’t even know it was borne out by studies! Just something I noticed among my friends.

Is it possible that Asian women, historically, haven’t been treated very well by Asian men?

Please don’t be white, please don’t be white.

The drama-free way to handle this:

This tracks. Baruchel’s from one of the roughest parts of Montréal, and Hill is a Hollywood legacy case.

I would submit that she’s the greatest living artist, period.

Sure. There’s also a spectrum between ‘head of state’ security and ‘celebrity’ security. I just didn’t think the gap was that wide.

Typical gibberish. Neo-Marxist blah blah blah. Post-modern blah blah blah.

It’s even more telling that they refuse to teach history from the perspective of the murderers.

Huh. She broke perimeter and was just kind of hovering behind Wembanyama, being ignored by everyone, until she reached out and security reacted.

Doesn’t sound like she identified herself, and in a split second, I doubt anyone recognized her.
