at least in my country, crossdressing, transgender, and femboy culture is still pretty weak, thank god. meanwhile if you check wplace in taiwan, mainland china, hong kong, southeast asia, etc., that stuff is everywhere.

That's great. What explain those things being weaker in South Korea than in the countries you mentioned?
>>222438295i dunno. unlike other countries, i think mandatory conscription plays a huge role here — unlike thailand’s lottery system, over 90% of men get drafted after a physical exam.
>>222438291like general kim jong-un, once a guy has been with a lot of women, he often starts getting curious about trans women too — i wonder if that’s actually true.
Unlike other East Asians, I find that Koreans tend to remain blue-collar in occupation and cultural presentation, across generations, long after they immigrated. My own guess was that Korean society is far more rigid in class terms, which might explain a degree of conservatism in its mainstream culture and why Korea struggles with both the problems of modernity (economic rat-race) and tradition (gender dynamics).On the other hand, K-Pop seems androgynous but maybe there is a degree of acceptable male "femininity" in even traditional Korean (and wider East Asian) culture(s). I always found the Confucian gentleman ideal (junzi) to be much more reserved as compared to the warrior-aristocrat ideal that Occidental and Near Eastern societies celebrate.
>>222438405yeah, i kinda agree. compared to china and japan, our country really does seem to have had almost none of that culture for centuries. it stands in contrast to places like india, china, russia, central asia, and even central america, where femboy culture is already coming in pretty radically despite their gdp per capita.
>>222438405you're seeing what you want to. the reserved and introverted noble king exists in both places, as does the loud and extroverted so-called "warrior-aristocrat".which btw, is a label that still applies to the confucian ideal. you should really study the virtues closer if you think otherwise.
