The Weird History of Asian Sex Stereotypes
MTV's Decoded drops some six-minute truth about western perceptions of Asian sexuality.
Why are Asian women considered "sexy" and "desirable"? While are Asian men considered... well, not. It's a pervasive, seemingly age-old perception that has plagued Asian men and women in various ways, from media representation to shitty bar encounters to ridiculously unproductive internet commentary.
Seriously (not seriously), we've been discussing and debating this topic in internet forums since at least 1957.
In this video for MTV's Decoded, Franchesca Ramsey drops some six-minute truth about these destructive and persistent western perceptions of Asian sexuality. She attempts to get at the origins of these ideas, breaking down some historical and sociological background for folks getting to the conversation a little late.
Naturally, this explanation required the presence of a buff and gratuitously shirtless Asian dude.

Mia Matsumiya received your messages, creep. Now she's posting all of them.
Self-described "perv magnet" has archived over 1,000 messages from "creeps, weirdos and fetishists."
According to her Twitter profile, musician Mia Matsumiya is a self-described "4-foot-9-inch violinist, medical guinea pig and professional unscrewer." She is also a "perv magnet" -- and has the evidence to prove it.
Over the past ten years, Mia has received and archived over a thousand messages from creeps, weirdos and fetishists. And now, she's decided to share them all, via an Instagram account simply titled "perv_magnet." So if you're one of the guys who's sent her weird shit in the last decade... watch out.
Some of the messages are bizarre. Others are incomprehensible. Too many are just straight up disturbing. Mia's responses are hilarious. Here are some of perv_magnet's greatest hits:

Asian woman strikes back in new "White Fetish" video
In episode two, they go back to his apartment. And things get really awkward.
Last time we checked in with Joy Regullano, she was turning the tables on the whole "you're-so-exotic" thing with her funny video "White Fetish." Well, she's back! The White Fetish saga continues. In episode two, she goes back to his apartment and discovers the reality of dating a white guy, then tries some "sexy" role play...

Asian woman turns the tables with "White Fetish"
"Your ancient traditions are so majestic."
For every woman who has had to deal with stupid Asian fetish shit... This funny YouTube sketch, written by and starring Joy Regullano, does a big switcheroo on the whole "you're-so-exotic" thing with one really awkward bar interaction and a girl who has a serious White Fetish. Tell me if this sounds sort of familiar.

Fund This: "Carnal Orient"
A short "music video" exploring the nightmarish undertones of Asian fetish
Photo: Erica Hsu
Check this. Were you pissed off by that godawful "Asian Girlz" video that circulated last year? These ladies were, and they decided to do something about it. "Carnal Orient" is a short music video project that seeks to explore and protest the objectification of Asian women as sexual objects for the male gaze. Basically, it's a big middle finger to bullshit like "Asian Girlz" and the longstanding history of sexist, racist media just like it.
Directed by Mila Zuo and Mira Lew, and produced by Camille Mana, with an original score by Angela Seo the band Xiu Xiu, the project is described "a David Lynch/Twin Peaks-inspired psychological inquiry into the nightmarish undertones of Asian fetish." Whoa. They're raising funds for the project through Kickstarter.
