@vurokiii’s post has since gone viral with over 10 million views, and more than 3,000 responses.
Though a number of people agreed with her take, the majority of netizens were up in arms about her opinion, with some even calling her a “racist”. You can imagine which countries these netizens are from.
Her post was so polarising @vurokii had to make this disclaimer: “The post is NOT meant to be serious, it has NOTHING to do with harassment or assault. “Toxic” meant that said race would break your heart, not violate you. It is completely [light-hearted] and personal opinion based on my friends/travelling experiences.”
If you want to be internet famous, we suppose a sure-fire way would be to generalise entire nations based on your personal experiences, and make it public.
The post was later shared on TikTok by Singaporean netizen @Jacksonsim77.
He wanted to draw attention to why South Korean men were put under the ‘RUN AWAYYY’ category. He attached screenshots of incidents where South Korean men were involved in crimes against women, like violence and sexual assault.
Singaporean netizens, however, were more occupied by how local men were described as ‘husband material’.
Spoiler alert: Most Singaporeans disagreed with her.
“There must be some typa mistake here,” read the most popular response, while another read: “Hmm, doubt it.”
One netizen opined: “Singaporean guys aren’t husband material, it’s just the rest are scary.”
Another person simply wrote: “They haven’t met Aliff Aziz yet.”
Why Aliff Aziz? You can read about his cheating scandal here.
Here’s the thing. Don’t toxic people exist in all countries? This might have been a representation of @vurokii’s personal interaction with Asian men, but if the shoe doesn’t fit, just don’t wear it?
