Come out as gay, only option left
Anon comes out as gay.
Parents actually accept him, and the whole marriage thing is off.
Parents now want anon to marry a guy he never met.
Anon can’t get a break.
I’m pretty sure I remember reading that identical plot of relationshipadvice on the site-that-shall-not-be-named. 90% chance it was fake but the ending was a nice read with the guy realizing he’s bi, and actually hits it off with one of the guys his mom picks.
This is such a fucked situation I hope it’s not real
Sadly this is pretty common
Look up honour killings if you seriously think it could be fake.
Not directly relevant but whenever I consume Indian media, I’m struck by how utterly foreign it feels. I watch a Chinese show? I see where it comes from. Mexican? Through line found. French? I understand the satire. Indian social norms and cultural development seem either so idiosyncratic or novel that they sincerely take me out. They, as a people and a nation, befuddle me in such a unique way. This isn’t a critique, just someone looking from the outside with curiosity and confusion.
Chinese media: everything is perfect in an uncanny valley sort of way
Mexican media: drugs, Jesus, boobs, or cartels
French media: like a student film with a budget
Indian media: this guy just punched a car so hard it turned into a transformer, then he turned into a transformer, then they fought and now everyone’s dancing
Sauce? I’d like to know more about these transformers. Thanks!
I swear to god I was just making shit up. I actually described a real movie?! That’s hilarious!
rrr is very good. i recommend it too
Bollywood
Mexican media: drugs, Jesus, boobs, or cartels
Also cooking shows and kitchen stuff.
You’re seeing India as a whole, but you gotta split it into pieces. It’s a melting pot of ethnicities that exist disharmoniously. Unlike China where the Han Chinese pretty much wiped out most of their extended family over the course of centuries by way of brutal warfare and discrimination, India managed to retain some familial morality where everyone lives together while hating each other.
It’s a similar, yet different path of evolution.China - There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
India - Bloody bitch bastard bloody
USA - Murika, fuck yeah!And yes, I am talking out of my ass.
Imagine placing your worth on being with another person. Too much cultural pressure for shit that came about in medieval/ancient times shouldn’t be ruining people of today’s lives.
Then again we still have holy wars so maybe same shit different era 🤷♂️
Shitty if true, but if this isn’t would not doubt situations like this occur.
T t t t talk to her about it :P gotta put in the work to build a relationship with someone. Don’t assume she’s ignorant just because she’s ignoring it.
Indians are passive. They don’t make change; they wait for it to be made for them.
Congrats! You’ve earned my “least intellectual comment of the day” award! You can pick it up if you go attend a world history class, any of them would probably make you realize how stupid your comment was
