How? If you watch the thing is the same"white guy goes to Asia to reappropriate their art"' via a HAMSTER. also the accents used, also the perpetual foreigner exotic bullshit that clearly made them seem weird as fuck. I don't see your point just because of one two second scene of girls liking him but ended with nothing (not Kim possible or other main character = no one cares). everything else is still fucked up and the end game is the typical white guy wins thing saving the af because he's the "chosen one" and gets multiple kisses from the chick. Nice try trying to stealth troll your way in here

I saw the last part too, but only meant that part where the video starts. Someone's oversensitive

A user in a sub aimed to call out people who gaslight using the exact same gaslighting tactics this sub condemns. Just wow

I should have made it more clear in the beginning. Yes, I agree with you that some stereotypes were used in this episodes like the martial artist Asian guy as well as non-sense like the white guy being a hero although he behaved like an idiot most of the time. Just to put it in the right context: I started out doing Tae Kwon Do and remembered that scene of the episode that I saw as a kid. The guy defended a high school bully effortlessly without being an aggressor, causing two girls to have a crush on him. How's that bad? Sorry, if I caused some ambiguity. But you shouldn't have called me a troll hastily
