I think it's especially ironic considering she herself thinks she can pull off the the youthful dainty fairy hanfu look. Like, look at yourself before you criticise other people for their looks.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, agreed.

[(Anonymous)]

Ouch, but good point. I'd never dream of criticizing her for how she chooses to dress or the likelihood that she dyes her hair, but while she's not an out and out hater, she's not shy about referring to actors' bodies in terms of weight, etc. It definitely reflects the industry over there that insists upon women AND men being very slender in order to look good in layered period clothing but it makes me uncomfortable.

Is that him? Because Hello, that is a HANDSOME man.

[(Anonymous)]

That's him! And he's very good looking, IMO. Doesn't look his age, that's for sure.

[(Anonymous)]

there is no way that man in that picture is my age, shut up

(heavily photoshopped and also had A LOT of work done, I will accept)

[(Anonymous)]

Right? I'm sure there's some skin-smoothing done in post production for those shows, but even IRL he's very youthful looking and always has been. Some people have very young faces, and that combined with good bone structure goes a long way. I'm envious, to be honest!

I think her criticism has some weight in terms of the actor being too old for some roles and then he uses PS/Botox to remain looking young. It's part of society at large valuing youth and placing pressure/expectation on actors/famous people to look young for as long as possible.

Keeping the same actors playing lead roles can screw over younger actors wanting to get hired.

Not to say it's all fair and legit with all her criticisms.

Seems like she doesn't think harder on her criticisms and how they can be contradictory.

[(Anonymous)]

I view the whole possible plastic surgery/Botox in order to keep looking young thing as a personal decision. I don't like what it says about the TV/movie industry, but I think the lion's share of the blame lies with the industry. Snarking at the actors seems unkind, and low hanging fruit.

"Keeping the same actors playing lead roles can screw over younger actors wanting to get hired."

LOL. I mean, sure, but there's no shortage of cdramas featuring younger actors, and I'd be extremely surprised to hear that older actors stealing roles from younger actors in this context was a problem. I don't even think he was too old for Sword and Brocade, the show in question. At the time, he was 46 years old, which is hardly ancient in the first place. His character is a famous general with a significant military history, and multiple wives/concubines along with children. This is not necessarily a role for a 25 year old man. I think AvenueX is being a little catty about the age thing.

[(Anonymous)]

There's something bitterly ironic about someone so far from the Asian beauty ideal pushing the same restricting ideals on others.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a shitty attitude, but not all that ironic as long as she's not claiming she's attractive enough to be cast in a drama herself.

[(Anonymous)]

And yet she's so critical of younger actors, even if they aren't the evil unworthy traffic/idol stars. She praises older actors unceasingly without a nod to the fact that they've learned what they know over many years. Then again, maybe you have to annoy people enough for them write a secret snd get some promotion that way.

Late reply, but I stopped watching her videos couple of years ago when she protested Patreon banning Sargon of Akkad, a well-known alt right figure. Also, even if she thinks she's smarter than the average viewer, I think she's still poisoned by the weibo hivemind.
