Yellow Fever--liking someone because they are Asian

the term yellow fever dislodges the human aspect of attraction and substituting it for racial expectations. Within the north american continent, the "stereotype" of Asian women living in Asia (and in a way, Asian women living in north America) is one of sbservience to the masculine norm. Yellow fever being a term used to define someone who likes the preconcieved notion of what an "Asian" and in Huk's case an "Asian woman" suggests a preference to the stereotype and not to the individual. Hence, it is seeing Asian women as subservient and being turned on by that subservience.

It's no different from saying "I don't like blonde white girls because they're dumb" or "I like black women because they have a big butt"

it's not that huk is not allowed to like girls who are Asian, it's about the reason why he is attracted or unattracted to those girls.

I'm glad Bomber won. MVP never really impressed me so seeing him lose isn't that much of a surprise.
But yeah being a Korean gamer is very imba. If you're a non-korean gamer you have to balance your game playing with earning money and your real life. If you're Korean you just sit around playing games all day eating 2 cent ramyun and becoming gosu.

bomber did impress me since he showed solid play vs MVP. MVP never showed creativity or anything special to distinguish himself as a master Terran. He's just a very good terran.

Just by watching the VODS, Moletrap gets more and more annoying. -.-


unfortunately the duo moletrap and doa is getting more and more annoying.

I feel a bit sorry for doa for trying to make jokes hoping moletrap to jump on the bandwagon but he doesn't get response back at all.

how many times haven't doa said "haven't you seen...." "haven't you heard of..." etc.

individually they are good casters, together they just don't have the chemistry going on and it gets boring quite fast.

Tastosis on the the hand is 50% the reason I subscribe to GSL. It's like tuning into a good late night talk show with a funny talk show host and have the best starcraft 2 games at the same time.

EDIT: WoW, what a lousy draw for Huk.

I like Doa/Moletrap, they are both very good casters. I remember watching a lot of games Moletrap casted from Broodwar, it was great.

If you go back and watch one of the first Doatrap games, you will probably notice how they have improved since then. Much less interruptions, lots of interesting tidbits from Moletrap, etc.

Tastosis has know each other for more than five years, so that Doatrap aren't working as well together isn't too surprising. If GomTV give Doatrap a season or two more, I believe they will prove to be a good choice for the future.

Those final games looked better than most of the previous GSL Code S finals.

Obviously Bomber will have a bright future and should do rather well in his up and down matches.

+ Show Spoiler +
Kind of sad IMMVP wasn't able to secure a Code A victory because he would have the trifecta of GSL championships!


Also I like the casters. I think they are starting to come out of their shell a bit. I kind of laugh at Moletrap when he goes "WOOOOOOOOAAAH" constantly, and their rants about food is typically pretty funny. It's not nearly as good as when Tasteless tells us stories of how he obtains his ladder points though!

Hey I just watched Bomber vs. MVP... WTF MVP ? What did you do man?!

I think it all came down to game 2 tbh. MVP's macro was totally awful. Not to take anything from Bomber's deserved victory, but wow... Very disappointing play overall by MVP. Even his defense against pushes involving SCVs was subpar.

Just FYI, after these games, MVP's TvT dropped to 25-7, or 78.13%, while Bomber's also dropped, to 20-9, or 68.97%.

is it possible for the star ratings for each match to be averaged out to 1 rating per match?

Yeah, really. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to just average them and give a result. This would be so much better than the Yes/No/If you have time system.

Amazing how so many people got the 4-2 score right on poll!

What sense does it make to vote after sets have started really :o

Anyhow, I preferred the words over stars on game ratings.

yea its just slang. It means they like the look of people of that race. I'd say it's not offensive considering is a personal preference that isn't really ruled by reason - the heart wants what the heart wants. Now if you were saying you only want asian people to work for you, or as platonic friends, or only people you'd trust to do a job, that may be a bit odd. But if you are attracted to a type of people over others, there's not much you can really do about it. So what, HuK's hormones are racist? Well, we better go fix that right?

Also lorkac, as for racism being racism, I would probably agree in most cases. I don't like affirmative action, that sort of thing. But it's not necessarily racism to be attracted to members of a certain race in many cases - HuK just may like small boobs, petite woman, straight black hair, certain facial features, et cetera. Now when people only will date members of their own race because 'other races are nasty' that may be a bit racist and we do see a lot of that (especially with asians, although I'm sure other races do it too). So I'd say racism can exist in sexual preference, but often times it's either a cultural prejudice (which isn't better) or particular physical features, maybe even personality features, that exist but are not exclusive to members of a certain race. Like I like big boobs, white skin, and big eyes on a girl - it doesn't mean I hate asians and blacks, they just usually lack the features I'm attracted to. I have been with asian and black women (not as often) when they have such features, but for the most part I find such features on white women.

I'm a bit confused about the rankings - like who is the 1% who saw the game and thought to themselves '5 stars' when everyone else said bad game? Like why would you say 5 stars? Is it trolling or something? whatever...

I wish with trying this new poll out, you also put the old poll to compare. So like for example, we could see that 58% 5 star rating is equal to a poll of Yes/No/If you have time of 90% Yes.... for example. 58% 5 star is actually pretty awesome for a ranking (thats like over 85% 4 star+, obviously a good game?) but just might help people warm up to this idea.

I think he just used the word without realizing it would offend people, dudes.

He just means he thinks Korean chicks are hot.

Thats your opinion not common. I never had a white girl do anything but smile when I ask 'where da white women at?" Its called preference and flirting. I'm not that picky tho I like Yellow womez too.

Agreed.

I don't know if you're trolling on purpose, but if you're not, go learn some basic Starcraft history before making such opinions.

Yellow has never won a gold... in a starleague, which is the only individual tourney of importance for Korean SC1 progamers.

Sort of like how MKP has never won a starleague (GSL) in SC2 while MVP has won twice....


In that case, it's simply a matter of miscommunication rather than not knowing his history. He said he has won at least "a" gold - he did not claim Yellow won a OSL or starleague.
So may be you should be more careful and respectful before you attack someone.

Edit:

It's a Korean for Dummies kind of book... he's learning Korean. Ignorance is a sad thing.


Ah really? Haha, nice
