CW: Child Abuse, sexual assault
There's an absolutely heartbreaking video that's an on the street interview with a little girl post collapse of the USSR. She can't be older than 10 and she says that she's selling her body for food. The interviewer looks shocked, and asks if any other children are doing that and she just says "everyone. Everyone is doing it."
I can't find that video now, and it's probably for the best.
And those women were largely forced into it in the first place because the Soviets guaranteed employment and spent enormous resources on research, academia, and the arts which fizzled and disappeared after the collapse. The stereotype of a Russian mail order bride actually having a PhD exists because it was happened a lot.
Partner finally got me to watch 90 day fiance and this post reminds me of one of the women who came from Russia.
The show tries to make her look like the bad person for wanting money but she was clearly promised a ton of expensive things and when the guy doesn't live up to his promises she gets mad. Everything im the show paints this as her being a gold digger or whatever but she is just a confident smart woman who knows what she wants and doesn't just accept less.
Fuck everyone who thinks exploiting a woman's economic situation for sex is somehow good or okay to do
anfisa sucks for a lot of reasons but that is not one of them. she knew it was a transactional relationship and the dude she was with was surprised for some reason
Honestly I loved the line after he asked her if she would stay wth him if he was broke "if I was ugly and fat would you be with me?"
Critical support for life
Idk it seems pretty fucked up to give even critical support to someone who's a domestic abuser. Just reverse the genders and think of a guy breaking phones, screaming at the top of his lungs, and slapping his girlfriend whenever she said something he didn't like - it's instantly obvious that those things are not okay in the context of any relationship unless the American was seriously abusive to her off camera.
Yeah, she has a point about the relationship being transactional and the American being into her for her looks, but often domestic abusers are very good at using a kernel of truth to justify their abuse.

I don't disagree with you, but you can't just reverse genders here. The power balance between a wealthy man and a woman who came from poverty are vastly different.
It wouldn't be acceptable if a wealthy American woman imported a man from somewhere poorer and he acted like that either, which is what I was getting at.
Ah well fair enough I was just fucking around but you're right
exactly. as a fan of that shitshow i will suggest you and your partner do yourselves a favor and skip anything related to angela or ed in the future
what? Is he talking about world war 2? That's the only war with that death toll. Mail order brides were a post-soviet phenomenon for impoverished and desperate women along with sex traffickers. The war was 50 years ago from then, there wasn't a significant population imbalance then. This scumbag redditor deserves to be locked in a sewer
Just saw an ad the other day for "Date Ukrainian girls!"
:stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:
Redditors keep jabbering about how the site has moved left and gotten 'cleaner' since the early days, but threads like this and many others show that no, it really kinda hasn't
I'm also disgusted that this 'mail order brides good let me order waifu' crap mentality exists on sites outside of :reddit-logo: , seen it in comment threads elsewhere
:so-true: "But I want comfort womz! Just LIEK LE WHOLESOME JAPAN! MY LIFE IS LIKE A BLIDEO GAEM!"
Mfs always want their life to be like a video game right up until they start hearing combat music :fash-bash:
Predditors talk about other human beings without sounding like one of these guys challenge (ontologically impossible)
Tell me reddit, why did you want genocide on the Muslims again back in the mid 2010s?
Because you sound like how you think all Muslims are like.
Once again for those in the back: fascists project out rape fantasies and child exploitation because they secretly want that shit and want everyone else to be on their level.
Even back in February motherfuckers were posting iffy shit about wanting to abuse Russian women or take advantage of Ukrainian refugees. Shit, there was even that one LatAm politician (wanna say brazil) talking about how great the Ukrainian women were because they were so desperate or whatever.
Natoids / westoids love sexual predation, they just can't get enough.
I really wish I could kill someone over the internet
