Saw this not long ago and it makes me question if your average woman/gay man would
really prefer some fruity plastic Korean soyboy over gigachad Cavill. I recall a time when weeby white girls in the western fandom around all things Asian would lament the whole thing around Asian men being seen as undesirable, but something changed around the mid 2010s and now every second female zoomer with a Twitter account is getting all hot and bothered over these dudes.

It could be an age thing - the K-pop fanbase does skew younger, and it's been pointed out before that most teenage girls prefer feminine men because they see them as non threatening, and as they hit adulthood their tastes mature.
Agreed, as someone who used to go all in for the weeb shit but outgrew it, except there's some alright anime and manga out there (not that I'm very up to date on it). Back in the day there was this overwhelming attitude of "K-pop/anime/
insert Asian pop culture thing here is better than that American trash!" when they didn't realise that it's just the same shit in a different language. But the attitude does seem to have changed, even if East Asians for the most part don't give a damn about woke culture, you see zoomers praising Beyonce, Lizzo etc. as WOKE KWEENS while also simping for BTS or whatever other cookie-cutter K-pop group is being marketed to them.
