This past week, I published an article addressing the cultural insensitivities of Queer Eye Japan. Lots of learnings and also four key lessons to share with you. In this episode, we cover:
  • Feedback from the show
  • Following Western advice all of my life as a queer Asian man
  • Why Western ideologies don’t work for Asians
  • Embracing the edits
  • Doubting myself before publishing the article
  • Why all of our intersections and identities matter
  • Why it’s important to focus on the good
Resources: My Culture is Not Your Toy: A Gay Japanese Man’s Perspective on Queer Eye Japan Netflix’s ‘Queer Eye: We’re in Japan!’ highlights a big problem with mainstream LGBTQ advocacy You can follow me at: Instagram (instagram.com/stevenwakabayashi) Weekly Newsletter (mindfulmoments.substack.com) Facebook (facebook.com/stevenwakabayashi) Twitter (twitter.com/wakuu) YouTube (youtube.com/stevenwakabayashi) So much love for you and I’ll talk to you later. Bye! ♥️
