'i'm really into eastern spirituality :)'

you can just go to pornhub dot com and navigate to the 'asian' category if you want to jack off to fetishistic imaginings of the oriental other. no need to get nasty about it —esvrld

'eastern spirituality' is lowkey goated when misinterpreting a bunch of stuff that was never meant to be studied in isolation or apart from a community able to interpret it & embed it in practice while vesting your vague secular western beliefs about how 'everything is just kind of made of particles and/or energy' and 'happiness, is the goal of life' in an aura of the exotic is the vibe

While the Blockchain Asexual Foundation does not condone of “jacking it” or any other form of sexual activity, we do support a harm reduction based approach to horniness. We take no official stance on metaphysical matters, though it is my personal conviction that everything is made of the blockchain. —The Blockchain Asexual

@esvrld as a white Jewish american who's seriously exploring Buddhism it's extremely frustrating to see how memed and commercialized the religion is in this country. a lot of westerners (especially online) don't really see Buddhism as a religion, they see it as a product to shoehorn into secular therapy, purified of its "superstitious" Asian trappings. if you bring up parts of the religion besides well-known stuff like meditation people think you're weird, taking it too seriously, or they just don't believe you
