I took these pictures, in the former Siam capital, this past summer. If you really think there is only reason to go to that part of the world is hookers I don't know what to tell you other than that says a fuckload more about you vs what it says about the people you are mocking. Oh and for the fucking record I am not divorced, not 50+, and very much married. People who post crap like this insult some of the most fascinating parts of the world with unique cultures built up over so many thousands of years.

    Bro struck a nerve and he clearly wasn't talking about you. If you're not a divorced guy over 50 you're not in the meme.

    and he clearly wasn’t talking about you. I

    Oh I see. I am one of the "well-behaved good ones", right? Hey how about we don't stereotype people and how about I call out bigotry regardless if it involves me personally? Do I have your fucking permission to do that?

    Are you ok bro? You just seem like a really angry person. This can't be healthy to live this worked up over a simple meme.

    Don't pretend you give a shit about me as a distraction from not being able to support your cough... argument...cough.

    One thing I can't stand even more than a bigot is a liar.

    You're insufferable. Lol. Not sure what argument you think I'm making. All I said is you don't seem to be the subject of the meme and you seem like an angry person.

    Lol

    And I pointed out that I can get angry when other people treat people like shit even if I am unharmed. It's called empathy maybe learn about it.

    You really do need to look at why you are so angry about all this though, that's not healthy. I just want a better community for everyone, best of luck.

    If you want a better community why aren't you calling out the objectification of South East Asians? This meme is heavily implying that there is literally only one reason why a single older male would want to go there.

    Sorry not sorry I called out bigotry today. Guess I should have sat here while it happened. Would that make you happy? People not speaking up.

    Anyway I am done you people want to reduce tens of millions of people to sex toys for the crime of being poor go right ahead.

    Shit dude. You got triggered. These are sex tourism destinations, that doesn't mean they are only sex tourism destinations.

    Wherever this anger is coming from has nothing to do with these meme.

    Seek therapy.

    Unfortunately, I suspect you won't because you feel your anger is justified. Your feel we're mocking you and don't empathize, likely because this is too often the case in your day to day life.

    I was with my family (mom, cousins, etc etc) in Thailand this summer too and we didn't see anything weird either, and the country, food and temples were amazing, and everything was very safe. (it was very nice to see my mom and aunt/uncles, on their 60s, visit such exotic place, they had a wonderful time)

    But don't get triggered, people that do memes like these are mostly teenagers that think that "old people" should just stay home. These people probably never went on vacation outside their country anyway, I always found out that people that have travelled abroad tend to be more open minded and do less generalisations.

    The only tragedy here is if someone is not aware of the rat kids on the internet, and memes/ideas like this prevent them to travel and see there is world out there, and is not as painted in the internet, everything is way more normal.

    So, if someone of any age reads this, I can't talk for Philippines since I haven't been there, but Thailand is amazing and not at all as painted here. Careful with the sun though, sunburns could be quite brutal.

    I noticed the girls in the foreground of your one photo, but it’s because their clothes are awesome.

    It is a tourist thing there. You rent clothing of the style of the 13th century royalty as you walk around in the 13th century ruins. Yes me and my family did it because it was fun.

    Utterly fascinating part of the world. From the food and clothing to art to the temples to just the natural beauty. Every time I go I wish I had more time to spend there just so I can visit one more site see one more traditional dance eat one more amazing meal.
