objective of pairing white guys with Asian females in market where abnormally high WMAF pairings already exist draws massive online criticism<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">There\u2019s a metaphor I like to use often, about a scenario where a hungry lion leaps into a herd of gazelle, but they\u2019re so blinded by hunger that they can\u2019t seem to focus on a single target, run around frenzied, and eventually all the gazelle get away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">That\u2019s how I feel when I read this article, and I can\u2019t help but wonder if the state of news these days aren\u2019t really so much reports of actual topics as much as they\u2019re reporting on the <em>reception<\/em> of actual topics.\u00a0 Like I kind of get it, if I saw an article that was all like \u2018there is a new dating app in SF that specializes in hooking white dudes up with Asian <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">gold diggers<\/span> women\u2019 I\u2019d just be kind of like lol <em>eww fuckin white guys<\/em>, but give me an article with the hook of \u2018internet tears into new dating app in SF that specializes in hooking white dudes up with Asian women\u2019 and now I\u2019m kind of like <em>rage?\u00a0 What kind of rage?<\/em>\u00a0 And then I\u2019m clicking the article and here we are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">But yeah, there\u2019s so much to digest with a story like this that I can\u2019t seem to focus and figure out where to start writing about first, because there\u2019s just so many damn angles to approach this from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Like how San Francisco is already a place where because there are so many nerdy white dude tech millionaire\/billionaires in the area, there\u2019s already a noticeably disproportionate amount of Asian women who land there pretending they\u2019re not digging for gold, and the pairing of WMAFs organically happens, solely based on just fuckin\u2019 nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Or how SF is such a smarmy arrogant place so reliant on tech, that they need to make apps and dating services and sites in order for people to function in daily life.\u00a0 Like, white guys wanting Asian women in a city like SF should be as accessible as walking out the door and breathing fresh air, but these dorks needing apps to curate and do some of the lifting for them seems to be about as the most SF thing in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Or just how gross white guys are, that they continue to fetishize Asian women as much as ever, to the point where fucking apps and services are developed in order for them to expedite their searches, instead of them waiting until they\u2019re in their 50s and relocating to Thailand or the Philippines like legions of white guys before them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Oh, and Asian women aren\u2019t without criticism either, they\u2019re not helping break the stereotype of Asian gold diggers who are looking for rich white wimps\/simps\/nerds to seduce and claim for their assets, and then entrap them either.\u00a0 They\u2019re as palpable to the problem as the white guys they\u2019re seeking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">But like I said, so many angles, so difficult to approach.\u00a0 San Francisco seems like such a weird place, and I frankly still have to say it\u2019s up there on my top cities in America that I wasn\u2019t impressed with and didn\u2019t care much for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Maybe they should focus on making an app to help rehabilitate the image of their shitty town, that focuses on identifying savvy PR people to try and take on such a lofty task.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KRON4: SF-based dating site
