Article is 2 years old, but it’s a happy article and I wanted to post it anyways.
EDIT: For anyone curious, here’s a link to her Douyin page: https://www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjABAAAAC-deOgCmNN2bIugq3od6LBI-Ws7Pn8EuLwWBjZg-ghg It says she has 11.151 million followers and 170 million likes, which is awesome.
She is undeniably cute. Hot male celebrities get talked about the same way except it’s terms like rugged, handsome, chiseled, broody, easy smile, and whatever else is used to describe a himbo.
Still find it weird, don’t get me wrong. Like that’s a thing that I just kinda prefer not to be said outside of contexts where the goal of that person is to look cute or in personal/non-weird conversations. Just was wondering if it’s chasing, the weird horny shit, maybe misogyny, or a combo.
I think thats how they talk about cpop and kpop idols, in like press stuff. its weird but not as weird as we probably think?
Ahhh I just realized that I was also confused about something. I thought she is an athlete actually, but she’s just an internet celebrity. Less weird then already. Still skeptical but much less
I don’t enjoy people talking that way but, as a popular public figure whose appearance is part of her brand, is this not the case?
See my response below/above. Was for some reason under the impression she was an athlete.
Fair enough. It would be creepy if she was an athlete.
If we’re gonna be honest she’s definitely making content to try and appeal to the audience by looking cute and people are watching because she’s cute (you can verify if you can make it past the captcha haha)
They just transparently put out an honest assessment of an uncomfortable truth
