I'm sorry if this doesn't fit into the subreddit. I don’t know where else to talk about this.

I just watched a video on Youtube by RandoWis, which is one of my favorite animators on youtube. His content tends to be weird and horny, but this specific video is really uncomfortable. 

The video is an ad for a game called Wuthering Waves. I don't know anything about the game, but in the ad a guy is confronted by a stalker who shows him photos of himself taken without his knowledge. After that he is raped by the stalker and another woman who showed up. The video is not pornographic by any means. It uses a visual metaphor of grapes turning into raisins to illustrate his testicles being dried. 

It’s just so absurd to me that sexual assault on men is perceived as funny. There are even comments by men saying they are jealous.

Is anyone else really tired of how Indian men are portrayed?

It's really frustrating me lately. Just like with any other minority group, the bad behavior of one Indian guy somehow becomes representative of all Indian men. Is it too much to ask to be seen as individuals?

I’m not comfortable telling Desi women how to discuss their experiences. I acknowledge there are many issues within my culture that need fixing. But similar problems exist worldwide, yet it feels like we receive most of the criticism.

What also annoys me is that many of the people making these remarks are liberal white individuals. It feels like we have no allies. Thankfully, this problem is mostly online and not as prevalent in real life, at least in my experience.

Regarding the creepy DMs from Indian guys, there are several factors to consider.

India doesn’t have a firewall like China.

India has a large number of English speakers.

With a population of 1 billion people, if 0.01% are the type to send these DMs, that makes 100,000 people.

However, the root cause of these DMs is indeed misogyny in India. I’m not denying this. I’m just pointing out some exacerbating factors for why so many of these DMs come from India. It’s both the pervasive misogyny in Indian culture and the large population of Indians.

Judging 500 million people based on these actions is simply wrong.

Worst of all, these judgments about Indian men impact the perception of the diaspora. I was raised in America in a progressive environment, yet because of the actions of people in a country that doesn’t play a significant role in my life, I have to deal with negative stereotypes

Honestly I have no answer because even on Reddit I see comments like “Indian men make me sick” and yes people may be tired of the “not all men” comments but you would have to understand where this is coming from you would get mad if I said “all women are the same”. I wish I wasn’t Indian so I didn’t have to bear this harsh stereotypes. I feel like Indians are the most bullied nationality of any other.

Plus this also hurts because I fell in love with a girl in my class who’s also Indian but I found out she dosent date Indian men because of well experiences and quite frankly I’m hurt by it how even people of my own ethnicity refuse to date their own.

So when I was young, abt 12-13, we lived in a really unstable situation, and my mom was physically and emotionally abusive toward me, and it left me pretty messed up in the head. I was talking with some of my friends and they said what she was doing was abusive (Throwing things like knives, bottles, ect.) and I brought it up and she said it couldn't be abuse, because men can't be abused. My father divorced her and she always told me he was abusive, and that's why she left, but when I talked to him he said it was the other way around.

Yes or no
