       I agree with what you said, but I was trying to get across the
       point that this poster was trying to get non-Eurocentric "Asian"
       men to forgive the Eurocentrism of "Asian" women.  Some of the
       commenters who push back against him are good:
       --- Quote ---
       > Dating AFs are fine, but date the ones that are actually proud
       of being Asians not LUs or bananarangs. Seriously, this is
       little the number 1 dating skill every Asian man in America
       needs to develop, which is the ability to filter out which Asian
       American woman is a LU and which one is a proud AF. Asian men
       need to avoid bananarang at all costs.
       >
       > Asian men should not limit themselves to AFs cause most of
       them don't give a fuck about you. There are plenty of non-Asian
       women who would date Asian guys, and more and more non-AF women
       are waking up from their own white men brainwashing that most
       Asian men are actually much better mates than white men.
       >
       --- End Quote ---
       It should be added that limiting oneself to "Asian" women is
       itself Eurocentrist, as the category "Asian" is a Western
       invention.

       That’s a fair criticism of the original poster, and I agree. If
       anything, “improving” yourself (getting an education, working
       out, improving your social skills and charisma, or whatever they
       consider improvement) won’t win over an already Eurocentric
       woman. It will just raise their standards. Now they’re probably
       secretly fantasizing about a muscular and educated white man,
       instead of white men in general. Hell, I wouldn’t even be
       surprised if the Eurocentrism runs so deep for some, that they
       would find a less “self-improved” white man more attractive than
       the hypothetical “self-improved” “Asian” man

       "less “self-improved” white man more attractive than the
       hypothetical “self-improved” “Asian” man"
       This is a well-known trope in the incelosphere:

       Unfortunately, the comic advocates AMWF.
       Also "self-improvement" itself is a western concept. (e.g.
       weight training to build muscle mass), since it associates
       gaining muscle mass with "improvement". A better definition of
       "improvement" would be low body fat (achievable through cardio
       exercises such as running/swimming), which would produce a
       physique similar to Arno Breker statues.

       Please do not use the based term "simp" without "".
       "Simp", which carries a negative connotation, makes it sound
       like devotion is a bad trait in itself, which is not the case.
       We should not be encouraging less devotion (ie. more cynicism)
       across the board (which is what calling people "simps" does); we
       should be encouraging more devotion but only for those who
       deserve it.

       You make a good point. Westerners, for example, will call
       non-Western males "simps" and "betas" for worshipping
       non-Western female celebrities. And of course, the False Left
       Westerners will conflate this attitude with benevolent
       sexism/"nice guy" incelism and call the attitude "sexist". But
       this doesn't make sense, because, unlike the incels, the "simps"
       don't go on shooting rampages after rejections. Ergo, "simps"
       are genuinely devoted to the person they are worshipping, and
       will respect the person's decision (however much heartbreak it
       causes them as a devotee). Incels/"nice guys"/benevolent sexists
       on the other hand, are only "devoted" to the woman insofar as
       she is able to provide sex.
       Is this a fair analysis?

       @90sRetroFan The current usage of the word is also rooted in
       sexism. Have you ever noticed how it’s really only men who look
       up to a woman in any sort of capacity, whether it be
       romantically or otherwise, being called “simps”? Women who
       romantically chase after a man are practically never called
       “simps”, nor are they called “simps” when they look up to a man
       for other non-romantic reasons such as character or talent. At
       the very least, there is no female equivalent to the word
       “simp”. The implication is that no woman is worth looking up to,
       and that they are all ultimately of low value and entirely
       replaceable. And that if you look up to or chase after a woman,
       you just haven’t seen how they “really are” yet. The MGTOW
       crowd, as well as non-MGTOW but nevertheless
       “redpill”-affiliated crowds even have a popular acronym called
       AWALT. It stands for “All Women Are Like That”. So this isn’t me
       being uncharitable or constructing a strawman. Many of them
       really are just that stereotypically sexist

       "Is this a fair analysis?"
       Yes. As I have noted elsewhere, celebrity-worship in Western
       countries generally lacks intensity. I believe this is related
       to the higher:

       in Western countries, and perhaps caused by lower average
       neoteny among "whites":

       Actually, I have seen False Leftists call MAGAs (both male and
       female) "simps" for Trump. But I agree that among rightists it
       is only used as you describe. In other words, as usual False
       Leftists appropriate rightist terminology poorly instead of
       rejecting it.

       "Yes"
       What about the distinction between incels and celebrity
       worshippers? I want to make sure it is clear-cut, because False
       Leftists are peddling racist tropes about "non-Whites" and
       "rape" due to their celebrity worship.

       "False Leftists call MAGAs (both male and female) "simps" for
       Trump"
       In the case of female MAGAs, there is almost certainly a sexual
       reason, as I would expect them to be attracted to Trump for his
       sexism.

       "Yes. As I have noted elsewhere, celebrity-worship in Western

       to the higher:"
       Growing up in (((school))) in the 2010s, the concept of
       "celebrity crush" was never really prevalent. People would lust
       after some celebrity but immediately lust after the next. It was
       only during my later years when I did schooling in a non-Western
       country did I see this concept among schoolchildren, where
       people would say things like "I want to marry x actor".
