Fetishization is a form of dehumanization and dates back to the initial racist thoughts of our -white people- colonizing ancestors. #swresources #racism #fetishization

The internet, specially asocial networks; contains many casual comments regarding individuals being referred to as "eggs" or expressing admiration for 'feminized' men. These rants create a false sense of community, and also attract individuals who are more influenced by online trends than by a genuine understanding of their identity.
Raising concerns about this phenomenon can sometimes lead to misunderstandings.
Speaking out about how this is a problem gets you called a transphobe.

Am I attractive, or am I only exotic? Are they interested in me as a person or as a transgender woman? Do I feel safe? All trans women face these questions at some point.

Much of the difficulty people face when #dating with a #disability is overcoming these #stereotypes. Some non-disabled people known as “devotees” have a specific #DisabilityFetish in which they #hypersexualize and #objectify #PeopleWithDisabilities, which can be frustrating and minimizing.
As if that isn’t enough to worry about, many multiply #marginalized #DisabledPeople experience additional #fetishization and harmful behaviors from their potential dates.
Roots of #fetishization is traced to #colonizers treating #BIPOC as curiosities. #Black bodies were #eroticized by #Europeans & when they invaded different #African countries, fascination & fetishization of #AfricanWomen was frequent.
Fetishization of East /Southeast #AsianWomen is known as #YellowFever. Since 18th & 19th century, #imperialism & #orientalism grew. #WesternPowers became intrigued with the East & #Americans became obsessed with #Chinoiserie
#KoreanPop, or #Kpop, has been steadily increasing in popularity in the past couple of years. Events like KCON, multiple fan meets, and concerts all come together to bolster the musical movement. Though the success of K-pop has done wonders for #AsianRepresentation, improving #CulturalAwareness & overall giving this amazing #music genre the recognition it deserves, the movement brought along some drawbacks, most notably #fetishization of #KoreanMen.

A series exploring how the rise of #fetishization of #EastAsian #culture, specifically in terms of #appropriation & #stereotyping, across #MSM & within #WesternCivilizations has impacted the modern #AsianAmerican’s experiences.
When considering the audience, it’s no surprise that many within the #WhiteMajority of #NorthAmerica, lack the necessary #education when investing in the appropriation of #POC lifestyles.

[ #AntiAsian #violence is tremendously intertwined with the #fetishization of #AsianIdentity. Fetishization of #Asian people in the US shows itself in #misogynistic #stereotypes, the #ModelMinorityMyth, and at its worst, racially-driven violence. These phenomena, in turn, can cause #RacialTrauma and deeply affect #MentalHealth.
In this article, I would like to discuss how fetishization can drive Anti-Asian sentiments, hate, and violence.]

@messaroundmarx I agree that the widened understanding of #fetishization is very much relevant in this context!

#Bitcoin is a digital commodity that derives almost all its current "value" from #fetishization and #speculative #mania. It's also a slow, #inefficient, and #wasteful payment network. The payment network is mostly only useful for pseudo-anonymity, #crime, or for avoiding censorship.
The composition of a Bitcoin network's payment record (blockchain) is ultimately determined by those who continually direct the most (otherwise pointless) computing power toward a new block of transactions seeking legitimacy. This is called "proof-of-work-based payment-validation consensus". A large #cabal of computer processing aggregation can, in theory, dishonestly manipulate the payment history of Bitcoin. Bitcoin enthusiasts argue that greed itself prevents such a cabal from hijacking the entire ecosystem, due to fear of completely destroying the Bitcoin price. The enthusiasts have so far been correct about this.

📢 International Relations colleagues! 📢 Teaching IR theories this term? Want to spice up the curriculum? How about my article in International Studies Quarterly presenting an #anarcho-#pacifist reading of #IR (freely available via #openaccess): https://academic.oup.com/isq/article/66/4/sqac070/6748234? 😉😀
Short summary: Paper seeks to articulate overdue #anarchopacifist lens to #IR #theory. Explicitly #critical & #normative. Starts with brief #history of cross-pollination between #anarchism & #pacifism.
