  1. and none of them were geisha and no I won't take your word on anything

  2. no your claim is full of shit because you made an unfounded claim that geisha are prostitutes then you tried to defend this by claiming accounts from a 1000 years ago (long before geisha existed) stated this. Just give it up already, son. You were wrong and you are still wrong. Geisha were and are first and foremost entertainers unlike oiran. Today they certainly are not prostitutes as you erroneously claim nor do the Japanese see them as such.

  3. you mean 19th century europeans and americans who hardly understood what they were talking about? Yes, we can safely ignore those accounts which I doubt you have read anyway

  4. If you dress like a MExican migrant worker with signs "will work for food" that's pretty offensive especially if you're part some rich elite uni frat but if you dress as Pancho Villa I don't see the problem. There's a difference between being mean-spirited at others misfortune and just having a good time. As for Geisha, Japanese dress like geisha all the time as part of cosplay or tourism. Geisha aren't a race

  5. no they are not. You are making shit up you got from that shitty book

  6. no, they aren't you moron. Quit spreading the lie. However geisha costumes are not offensive

  7. Just for the record, hot chicks can dress up however they like

  8. why should they? It's a good idiot catch and pretty much lets one know that such commentary can be easily dismissed or ridiculed

  9. then you have no source

  10. you fucking idiot, did you even watch the show? It wasn't TYT saying what costumes were offensive but what the Uni of Colorado suggested were offensive. They agreed and disagreed with the list if you actually paid attention. And good for you on your unsub - your kind of idiocy doesn't belong here anyway if you can't bother to pay attention.

  11. lol I suppose the irony of your statement in regards to your "argument" is lost on you

  12. You speak Japanese? Well, good for you! You don't understand anything apparently about the culture.

  13. predecessors? It's not the same thing. We're talking about a job not a race of people. The problem is you are regurgitating half understood information by european and american onlookers imposing their own moral code on another society. You made a statement that geisha are prostitutes which they are not now and in the past were not specifically either

  14. fyi memoirs of a geisha is not a credible source for your misinformation

  15. thanks for proving my point, kid. You had nothing and you still have nothing. Back to my original argument - stop spreading the misinformation and the stereotype. As for sexy geisha costume no one has problem with that in Japan. It's not about the perception of geisha as prostitutes that the Uni of CO is concerned about but about people making racist caricatures of Japanese and Asians.

  16. Oh, dear me, the anti-TYT folks are showing their faux-outrage because they are too fucking stupid to actually pay attention to the video. TYT is not the one saying those costumes are the list are offensive. They are reporting and commenting on a memo sent out by the University of Colorado Boulder. You can even read that (if you can read that is) in the description section. Basically many of you schmucks saw the title and reacted before you even watched the video hearing only what you wanted
