This is not a zine for our racist Asian parents. We didn’t design Cocoon with the intent of converting internet neo-nazis into socially conscious feminists, nor for the purpose of turning people who unironically call people “sjw’s” into the people they used to call “sjw’s.” This is no feminist evangelism; we’re not attempting to call sinners to repent of their casual racism at the altar of anti-oppression. Ultimately, this zine is not for them — this zine is for us.
It’s for all my friends who never believed they were pretty enough because of their Asian features, or who were crushed because they failed to conform to the white boy expectations of their innocent passivity. It’s for my peers who are afraid their parents are going to be deported,
