@thejapantimes đŸ€” As a man, and also somewhat a fan of #Japan's #sumo, I've to say that this commentary didn't shock, but neither did it convince. More crucially, it seems to me that, when the custodians of this #subculture can't find an inherently convincing argument for sumo to continue its increasingly awkward #misogynistic practices, they defer to linguistic gymnastics by a foreigner instead. It's unbelievable and quite sad.đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž

Similar to the #jdrama #SumoDoSumoDont, in the #kdrama #LikeFlowersInSand, we see strong bodies that are different from the slender, six-pack folks we usually see. The lead is strong and solid, with thick legs and a soft-but-strong torso. Much different from the usual very-slender, six-pack male leads we see.

I like it. đŸ‘đŸ»

I really enjoyed the cute #jdrama #SumoDoSumoDont (on Disney+). It was about a university trying to revive its Sumo club, and included different bodies and abilities, and even touched on how women are treated in the sport.

The #kdrama #LikeFlowersInSand on Netflix feels similar, about a small-town hero in their ssireum (Korean sumo?) club.

The hero is kinda dumb, but persistent, which reminds me of #WhenTheCamelliaBlooms. Plus, a murder mystery.

@hamlin81 yes, jdramas are also a thing (and a hashtag). I have not heard of Cupids Kitchen before... the #jdrama series I've watched and liked were #AliceInBorderland and #SumoDoSumoDont.

My favorite cephalopod is probably a squid, like the architeuthis, although vampire squid are pretty cool, too. And the way octopuses are so intelligent and can change their colors is fascinating!

@EllenInEdmonton @bougiewonderland the #jdrama #SumoDoSumoDont is on D+ and is really quite cute.

The #kdrama shows on D+ in the US include #SnowDrop and #Soundtrack1 (Soundtrack #1). If you aren't in the US, there are more, like #Connect and #Revenant.

The #cdrama I enjoyed on D+ was #DelicaciesDestiny that had GORGEOUS food spreads and scenes of actual food preparation.
