The paradox of "face". Not being embarrassed (or losing face) is paramount in East Asian society. However, instead of behaving in a way that ensures you are not embarrassed (i.e build the dorms properly in the 1st place) , people still do stupid shit (cut corners during construction) but get upset when it's pointed out.
ITS CALLED SHAME AND EMBARRASSMENT, YOU FUCKING DUMBASS ITS NOT SOME ORIENTAL MYSTICISM THAT ONLY FUCKING EXISTS IN CHINA
Same energy as high school teachers explaining that romantic love is a western invention and does not exist in east Asia with the sole exception of Japan.
In communist east asia (Japan is not asian*, it's part of the International Community), the government will issue you a spouse with which you need to create 2.3 offsprings within 5 years or your social credit score will be erased. relationships are treated like industrial production quotas. in the democratic west, we have the freedom to fall in love and marry whoever we want. relationships are romantic. this is the basic fundamental difference between the west and the east.
The way face actually works is you build it by doing attacks and not getting hit back, and when your meter fills you glow and you can do a running tackle on anybody -- even the big guys that normally grab you -- and do a ground-and-pound finisher. At high enough levels you even regenerate health.
also if you get a nice foot massage or wear a cool outfit your meter fills up faster. in china I see dudes maxing out their face meter pretty much daily, it's pretty sweet
I absolutely loath the levels of exoticism built up around east asian countries. oH nO tHeY tReAt InSiDe AnD oUtSiDe Of ThE hOuSeHoLd DiFfErEnT. YEAH SO DO WE :agony-limitless:

Ah ha those Asians sure are inscrutable
people talk about how east asians can't ever lose face then talk about the importance of your personal brand without even blinking
