@SimuLiu: Been seeing this gem floating around the Asian internet and just want to say that I have been personally attacked
Simu: “Are you proud of me?”
parents: “How was Tony Leung today??”
Made a whole ass American Thanksgiving dinner last week. Creamy mashed potatoes, two kinds of “stuffing,” a 14 pound Turkey cooked perfectly, cranberry sauce from scratch, brussel sprouts, green beans, etc…and two kinds of pie for dessert. Even had a cranberry mimosa thing for a cocktail.
Asian mom says “the pie crust on the pecan pie was too thick.”
The one time I can remember my dad saying “I’m proud of you,” wasn’t even when he said it to me. My sister had just made banana bread for the first time and he took a bite and said it to her. She choked up and laughed, “That’s all I had to do? What!?”
We had both graduated by then and had jobs already.
To be fair, his mother was from another dimension.
Tbf she said it just before she died so she probably didn’t say it at all before then lol
My dad died at 86 never told me he was proud of me. My mom always he was. I grew up in 70s and 80s where he hid you feelings deep. I also never made him banana bread either.
Is my dad secretly Asian?
After her death, he got the real Asian parent treatment. He became a super assassin at 14 and killed an otherworldly horror threatening multiple realms when he’s an adult. Suffering makes you a superhero. Tony Stark would know. He got the Asian parent upbringing even though Howard wasn’t Asian. Tony became the super genius, philanthropist, billionaire Iron Man.
Beep boop — this looks like a screenshot of a tweet! Let me grab a [link to the tweet](https://twitter.com/SimuLiu/status/1464497563382390785) for ya 🙂

The dragon would be more realistic if it was from the dad
My Dad has never said he’s proud of me and that’s why I tell my kids all the time that i’m proud of them.
She’s about to die, it makes sense
At least the Duolingo owl says it to me *(sobs)*
Dishonor on your cow!
I thought the most unrealistic part was when Katy said Jeff Gordon had the most NASCAR wins. Everybody knows it’s Richard Petty.
My wife accidentally set the audio to Japanese for the first several minutes of the movie and didn’t realize it. I don’t speak Japanese or Mandarin, but I can usually tell the languages apart. So in the early dialog I ask her “Hey wait, this is Japanese, isn’t that guy supposed to be Chinese?” And then it switches to Mandarin for a bit, and then it jumps to modern times and they’re all speaking badly lip-synched Japanese. That’s about the time we realized that we were using the wrong audio track, but it was a really weird first few minutes of the movie.
To everybody that feels identified with your parent(s) not having shown emotions or affection to you, despite your childhood having been fine otherwise: Look up “childhood emotional neglect” and read up. Ignore your own reaction to those words if they seem too “strong” for what you experienced, and just read about it. You might do some introspection and learn stuff about yourself, and possibly identify the source of f’d up parts of your personality that can then be improved.
It’s a “subtle” thing that a lot of people go through, but don’t know about, and reading might make you realize a lot of things.
Can confirm as true
With my traditional (from Hong Kong) parents that immigrated to the US, I can count the times, on one hand, the times that my parents said that they were proud of me. Once when I graduated from grad school. That’s it. Not for graduating undergrad, not for getting married and having kids, not for getting a house, not for getting my first job, paying off my car.
I’m Asian and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t tell my kids I love them and are proud of them. They are growing up happy and mentally healthy instead of having crippling depression like me for 35 years of my life.
Fuck my parents.
There is an asian internet?
You think that’s hard to believe, try the Ant-Man movies. Two dads, *getting along?*
My parents and grandparents tell me how proud they are of me. I’m very lucky! I just had a kid and I tell that little baby how proud of him I am every night. The stereotype is out there, and it’s true for many folks out there of Asian descent, but let’s be very careful about it because there’s a lot of us trying to change it.
Funny meme though! But IMO the most unrealistic part was the total lack of traffic in San Francisco.
Accidentally switched the audio to Korean dub when trying to watch the movie. I was scared shitless for a few minutes because I thought I forgot the entirety of Chinese.
Asian are genetically evolved unable to feel pride for their children. We only feel disappointment and contempt. It is physically impossible for us to love.
yep sounds like asian parents alright
All jokes aside, I came in not expecting much from this movie but I was genuinely blown away. It’s now my second favorite Phase 4 project after Loki, and Hawkeye seems to be catching up fast.
Chinese here, yup it’s weird
As a person with an Asian mom I can confirm
