Like the fat guy looks around the corner and BOIOIOING spring sound then the girl he's looking at notices him looking and PEEP POO PEEP POO cuckoo clock noise on cut to his fat startled face. Thai TV sucks now but I keep betting that sometime in the future there's going to be some amazing Thai shows about Thai history. You just can't make them now because of lese majeste laws.

Khorne posted:I don't know how common it is but multiple asian girls gave me poo poo for having light brown eyes. Dark brown eyes = real person (asian), blue eyes = american stereotype, light brown eyes = satan himself aka me. I mean I guess they are kind of hazel which is probably why. Maybe it was just a small sample of women that I had talked to for a while online before meeting and they made assumptions about my eye color that weren't true in real life. What about green eyes?!?!

People still freak out in the US whenever someone tries to portray Reagan as out of his mind and he doesn't hold nearly the place in American culture as Elvis does in Thailand. Though seemingly contradictory, censorship laws are often a boon in art because it forces creators to come at stories and themes from angles they wouldn't approach if they could be direct. Subtext is always more interesting than being literal.

Art is either censored by appearance or by meaning, rarely both, and depending (generally) upon if the censoring body is authoritarian or not. I don't read much art history but Dave Hickey's book The Invisible Dragon is mostly about this and it's really good.

Maybe lese majeste was the wrong thing to pick on. Some other legal and societal stuff could change and unlock some really good material--like for instance I'm convinced there's a great Thai cop show just waiting to be born, but portraying cops as imperfect human beings would step on some toes, right? And sometimes those toes aren't royal by blood but they're connected in by marriage or patronage and we're back to lese majeste.

This is a few pages late but fei cheng wu rao kind of owns because everyone is extra weird and dumb on purpose, because most don't actually want to go on dates. Getting a date and finding a match means you leave the show, whereas if you stay on as a big weirdo you stay on TV for longer and can build up some personal reality star brand. They do eventually switch people out but sometimes you get people on for a while. They get non-Chinese on more and more now which makes it even cringier. A while ago there was some white Canadian dude in a leather suit that came on and was ultra creepy because he was infatuated with one of the girls that had been on the show for a while and tracked down all sorts of really private information and was asking about personal poo poo like her family on this national television show. The whole audience was shocked when she turned him down after he so dutifully stalked her online, and it was all over the internet here for a few days. fake edit: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/james-alofs i found a Canadian news story about it!

I hadn't seen a non-Chinese person in my neighborhood for a good year and a half after moving here and it was genuinely shocking when I started seeing them occasionally, like bigfoot sightings. At this point my building has one other white guy and a black guy, and there's a guy from Cameroon who lives a couple kilometers away who I run into occasionally. A couple weeks ago I saw four white people at once and I stared like a farmer. I have no idea what they were doing around here. I would go weeks without ever hearing a word of English or seeing a non-Chinese person outside of work and now I see at least one almost weekly. My Real China Experience

JaucheCharly posted:Why do you feel threatened? It might be easier to list the reasons why the expat wouldn't feel threatened. I guess I'll take a stab at explaining. Theories run the gamut from expats being inherent failures (why couldn't they find work at home) to the Chinese "Celestial" are made differently; the Chinese anatomy reacts differently and defies "Western" medicine in explanation and only dried, and ground Rhino horn can transfer the sexual libido-consciousness which been “located” in the frontoinsular cortex and the hypothalamus (Only in Chinese, the barbaric foreigner has no such libido issues, a sign of their lack of civility) and a hundred dynamic cores in between.

Asian tv is pretty cringy everywhere, in Japan my waifu always asked why I "ruined" a show by asking if its typical for japanese people to walk around with wireless mics. I think perhaps I am kind of spoiled by the BBC. I also Just realised : I must be a double failure, as I am an ExExPat.
