I think I would want some really stupid real life thing/pun name, or maybe like a whole sentence even. Like for example, "The cardinal directions are north, south east, and west" or "Sorry" or "Maya Paula Jeese" or "Milk Toast". Maybe even "Yorkshire Terrier" or "Jim(othy) Member". Many options to explore! Anyway, what named would you all consider if you were to have a drag persona?

European most likely. This was the lead actress on the Disney channel show "Good Luck Charlie," (a good but forgettable show that isn't really worth the effort revisiting in 2023) and was one of the protagonists in the movie "Lemonade Mouth" (which is imo a decent movie). She released a couple of singles and then dipped out of the spotlight. I believe she went and got a psychology PhD which is dope. Anyway, the joke is that she ditched her music and acting career.

Why can't people stop being pedants and just answer in the spirit of OP's question ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Anyway, I'd pick bubble tea I think. There's a lot of variety and mileage I can get.

I download all my music from youtube and put it into a single folder on my phone, which I listen to with VLC media player

I always felt these memes were a bit racially motivated. Lemme explain (sorry for submitting a thesis on a fuckin meme):

Many societies (not all) in this internet age exhibit patriarchal sexism, and the manifestation is different based on culture but it generally leads to the sexualisation of and entitlement to women's (and fem's) bodies.

South Asia has hundreds of cultures but most of them are of this form. As a result, sometimes a brown guy will sexually harass a woman online! It's terrible but unfortunately expected.

However, these cultures aren't the only ones in which (some) men are pigs! In fact, it happens in Western countries too, and even in other highly populated regions with unmitigated internet access, English language education, and patriarchy (e.g. most Asian countries meet all four requirements, people in China have VPNs, Brazil, etc.)

So, assuming women are probably facing sexual harassment from all angles, why South Asian men? Yes it's the most populous of the named regions with unrestricted access, but why so many jokes when Western sexism is taken more seriously?

I think these memes serve 3 functions:

  1. Paint South Asian men as inferior and emasculating them (and almost infantilizing them as well). "Oh look, they're harassing a Western woman? No chance in hell that'll work." Leading me to

  2. Stereotype South Asian men as uniquely sex pests (as opposed to unremarkable sex pests)

  3. Make fun of the intelligence of ESL speakers. All the memes rarely focus on the sexual harassment and largely focus on a misspelling or grammar mistake.

I think I've made my case pretty well, it's OK if you disagree, but then the question is: is this a real problem and if so what do we do about this?

I don't want to be the fun police so keep doing the memes, but maybe we also try and have a separate place where we take all forms of sexual harassment more seriously, and make fun of the audacity and grossness of all sexual harassment (even from women and other genders, which I didn't even touch on)!

Tl:dr; meme is low key racist, you can still do it if you wanna but I do suggest that we make fun of other sexual harassers as well* (*preferably in a funny way).

Sorry for the essay once again ik I'm a buzzkill

Here's my tentative bucket list:

  • twunk era
  • learn some sick narsty gymastics
  • become a cinephile
  • try to gain a cursory knowledge of every academic discipline via pirating textbooks
  • do drag (drag specifically bc it's such a multi-faceted art)
  • date someone long term
  • volunteer regularly to try and make the world a better place

It's smaller so while the general communities feel more niche and welcoming, the smaller communities I was a part of are just non-existent.

I'm trying to take a "if you build it, they will come" attitude, but I'm not a very creative person so I tend to just repost stuff friends send me on insta.

I'm a gay guy so I'll answer this from that perspective: moreso men? I'm attracted to guys along with the occasional non-binary person or very butch lesbian (i.e. my attraction to them felt identical to how I'm attracted to men). Sometimes I'm attracted to a masc guy, sometimes it's a fem guy. Sometimes it's neither. I've been into every body type except bears (though including cubs).

Basically: if my social perception of you is that of a man despite your own gender identity, then I might be attracted to you. I apologize if my horniness assumes your gender
