Bitesize Chinese 一口中文

Ep.168 台灣人喜歡評論外貌這件事 💁‍♀️👀 Why Taiwanese Love Commenting on Appearance


Listen Later

Why do we all—sometimes casually, sometimes critically—comment on how others look? In this episode, Mindy and Joeru delve into the cultural habits and social pressures that make appearance such a hot topic in Taiwan, and share their thoughts on how to keep the conversation positive and inclusive.

In this episode, we cover:
– 什麼是「外貌」? Defining appearance: facial features, body shape, style, and the power of first impressions
– 評論外貌的日常場景: From elders’ blunt remarks and online trolls to self-criticism and nickname culture
– 背後原因分析: Family habits, rigid beauty standards, and the influence of Asian group-thinking
– 我們的看法: When and how to talk about looks respectfully, promoting body positivity and diverse aesthetics
