Asian parents are definitely the worst, and I think they are 20% responsible for the ricemans situation, with the other 80% being genetics (one could argue genetics come from the parents who chose to reproduce and pass on that genetic code, knowing there was 50% chance it would be a boy).
The false, irrelevant expectations they put in the kids break their spirit, and rule out any creativity or alphaness the kids may have.
And when the kid gets to his teens and looks around and sees the alphas and normies getting value reciprocated by society, and starts to question it, the parents just say don't worry son, they're different, and feed him all that blue pill shit that study hard and I will get a used up noodle to marry you who's fucked 50 white chads and normies before that.
They realise the kid will rope if he sees reality, so they just make sure he stays in his own riceman world, so he only has to compete with other ricemen, hence he will never feel what it's like to truly fail or lose .
Also because in their culture any innovative, competitive, or creative thinking has been bred out, they literally parent by the numbers. Oh so it seems my riceman son is not killing it because he only studies and so needs to be well rounded, 'hey son you're going to go learn to play this fucking flute and learn to paint, then all the kids will like you and girls will see you as high value'.
The funniest part as a result of this is many ricemen don't see the real world until they're in mid to late twenties, if that, and by that time they're often so brainwashed they don't even realise it!
