Wait. Stop.

This woman did "research" that shows that western women are doing sex tourism to Korea and she's likening their disappointment in the pickings to abuse faced by Korean women? I mean sure she admits that the second is worse, but that still leaves you with the implicit acceptance of sex tourism and the narrative that not getting a k-drama enough foreigner is sexism against western women, and I'm not here for that.

Yeah it is pretty weird. Not a fan of that part of the article.

I want to take it as the need (unconscious or otherwise) to keep the Western Eurasian settlers interested by making it relevant to themselves. Maybe a prosocial approach towards fostering solidarity if I am being very charitable.

I didn't get the same reading from it that you did. The original research seemed to be "Why are these women doing sex tourism? ah netflix", then in this article, was used to point out the misogynist reaction that korean men had after being told these sex tourists with womanly characteristics were incredibly disappointed by them.

The combo of the two seems to be approaching this issue from the Korean perspective, and pointing out the fragility of the men because her research stirred up the shit pot(with her in it, so she had a personal connection).

I will admit the CNN article has a thick acceptance of sex tourism, but the linked author did not write that article, it just used her observations.
