Found one of many flaws in that master plan.

Maybe it's cause I'm a woman and I just don't think like these guys do, but how do they think that talking to women will be any easier in a country you're unfamiliar with, in a language you're unfamiliar with, and immersed in a culture you're unfamiliar with? Seriously I'd be less worried about talking to some stranger in a coffee shop.
Also why South America? Normally don't weirdos pine over "obedient and domesticated" Asian women?

They think that Latino women haven't been corrupted by feminism yet and will be subservient and obedient and not entitled bitches LIKE JENNIFER WHO WON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME WHILE WHIRLING ON THE COCK CAROUSEL.

Also they don't go to Asia because they want a cheap alternative.

I can answer you. It'll be easier talking to these women because these women are even less-people than the (probably) white women they are scared to talk to in the US. They think these women will be super impressed that a white man has deigned to say "Hola" that they will be friendly. They think these women haven't been corrupted by western feminism. These exotic and beautiful creatures can be approached because they are just that: exotic creatures. Not people.

So, to answer your question, they are racist as well as misogynist.

In French Polynesia we were told that yes, there would be some ladies who would be super interested in the dumb white American guys on our trip. You could see their drat heads grow as our group hit the mainland Tahiti and yes, there were many many exotically dressed ladies flirting with them. Our guide had to take pains to point out that they weren't ladies. They were men dressed as ladies, and in fact because it was a Tuesday afternoon, most of the women were in fact in school or running the local businesses. The ones in the grass skirts and the coconut tops were very very good at looking like exotic creatures.




I couldn't get a screenshot, but on a Pokemon Go Facebook group, a mom posted, asking about what park in her area would be best for a birthday party for her autistic kid, who loves Pogo. Many people offered ideas (and some volunteered to keep the lures set and bring their own kids so the kid had a good sized party) and a few volunteered to help run some hunts with the remaining map apps. The mom was very happy and posted that her son was high fuctioning but this would be great, and had plans to bring several of his autistic classmates too. Cue some fucktard chiming in and saying that HE was an adult autistic and he felt the entire thing was inappropriate, and she was going about a party all wrong, and it wasn't "just" autistic kids who needed help and who would appreciate a party and the entire thing went off the rails as this dude tried to make a 8 year old's park party about himself. Because he is autistic too, you see. And people didn't offer to make him some big party because he's autistic so why should this bitch get help?

The entire thing was deleted but seriously, what kind of rear end in a top hat do you have to be to demand people make a birthday party for you at age 40 because they plan to help some single mom and her kid?

Possibly. Not to excuse him, but the second guide was also careful to point out that the ladies were in fact men, because he had had some bad experiences in the past with the idiot tourists doing very stupid poo poo when they found out the truth after a few beers.

The idea of the 'exotic native beauty' in coconut shells and a grass skirt had become local legend. Most people, save in the super tourist areas, wore loving jeans and normal shirts. But they had to play a part in the other area of town because no tourist would buy the idea of a native Polynesian wearing Nike. I don't blame the tour guides for being curt and possibly bigots when they were trying to avoid stupid Americans from attacking people and trying to keep the tourism boards happy.

I had to stop listening to the F Plus after the Feeder episode and one where they talked about some kind of Diaper fetishist that a big part of the whole thing is pooping in your diaper in some crowded, public place and making everyone smell it.

If anyone of you remember Portal of Evil because you're old internet farts like me, the podcast I Don't Even Own a Television had its founder on to do an book called Sass Girls X. It is a book by a man who is obsessed with Hentai and video games, and it sound amazing AUG.

There are whole other concepts of gender out there, and not all of them translate nicely into English. Thailand in particular is extremely fluid with gender presentation and pronouns. Take a look at Fa'afafine (Samoa's third gender) for a useful start.

What? People from other countries behaving normally and not conforming to decades old demeaning stereotypes? I refuse to believe it!

And on the transphobic stuff: On first reading I thought you meant that the "exotic beauties" were men in skirts trying to scam/rob drunk tourists, as opposed to just being normal transwomen having a bit of fun with some tourists.

This is something we talk about in my tourism studies in school, that people assume non-Western countries are still these ancient exotic places and then get shocked when everyone is basically just like them. A friend of mine recently went to China to try and get that classic shot of the elderly fisherman with the cormorants, and when he arrived, found that all those shots are paid actors/models posing for tourist photos.
