In Your Name Engraved Herein, confession becomes both a ritual and like a cage. A-han seeks forgiveness for something that needs no pardon which is love. His prayers echo the pain of anyone who’s been told their heart is a sin.

The film shows how faith and desire collide. A-han’s Catholic guilt mirrors the way institutions teach us to hide who we are. Religion gives comfort, but can also imprison the soul.

My view: instead of asking if esports “deserves” respect, we should expand what sport means in the 21st century. Human performance now includes both physical and cognitive excellence.

This pattern continues in modern whitewashed adaptations (Ghost in the Shell), where Asian stories are retold with white leads, prioritizing visibility over cultural authenticity. Representation matters. 🥋🌏

In Japan, traditional gender norms still hold strong: men are expected to be the primary earners and women the primary caregivers.
Men who reject marriage or dating are often seen as shirking these societal duties, so media and public discourse portray them as “part of the problem.”

Double-eyelid surgery is often interpreted as a desire to look “Western.” However, in many Asian contexts, it is tied to local beauty preferences for larger, more expressive eyes, not necessarily Caucasian imitation. #notaboutcaucasian
