Many of you have requested for this episode, and now here it is. Before you press that play button however, on the off-chance you are reading this, we want to put out a clear disclaimer that all of us on TIGS, from Indah herself to the rest of the team, unequivocally stand with our queer brothers & sisters here in Indonesia as well as the rest of the world, in support and allyship to the broad LGBTQIA+ community. We at TIGS believe that two things can be true at once, that you can support a movement whilst still 1) having questions about certain elements of the movement, and 2) disagreeing with certain talking points that are commonly espoused by members of that movement, and that is what this discussion with Anil is intended to showcase. We want to show that we can have a proper, well-balanced, objective discussion about people's lives, and go about changing people's hearts and minds in a level-headed and compassionate manner, instead of the usual hot-headed polarized debate that's meant to farm cheap views & engagement. We hope you enjoy.

It's obvious that white privilege exists, but does it apply in every & all situations? Would you believe it if we told you it's not always that nice to be a white person in Asia? In this episode, Indah & Damian discuss the realities & nuances of white privilege in Asia, as well as a multitude of other phenomena related to the issue such as passport bros, "bule hunters," Asian women marrying white men to escape poverty, white entitlement encouraged by a society that still upholds white superiority, and more.

(This is a bilingual episode, mostly spoken in the Indonesian language. Apologies to any of our international/non-Indonesian-speaking audience members who will not be able to tune in.)

Disclaimers:

This episode is meant to represent an honest reckoning of  personal experiences from our own respective schools and schooling systems, and not meant to be a representation for any academic institution or system whatsoever. Additionally, please also note that both of the featured talents in this episode are part of the high school graduating class of 2016, and that a lot has changed not only in terms of respective institutional cultures and rules, but also legal legislation. 

Episode Description:

We're not here to talk about the vapid, shallow, obvious shit like tuition, school facilities, whether or not rich kids come to campus dripping in luxury designer brands head to toe and all that kind of stuff — We're diving in much deeper and much more intimate in this episode where Indah and Esther sit down to discuss about the cultural and political paradigms of Indonesian public schools vs. international schools. Are all local schools here in Indonesia religious/Islamic? How do students get treated as the religious/racial minority? What is 'Tawuran?' Do international schools conduct 'Upacara' every Monday morning? Are international curriculums such as IB, AP & IGCSE curriculums really that much better than the local curriculum? Do international school kids put down public school kids as being "inferior?" Do public school kids put down international school kids as being "spoiled, entitled fake Indonesians?" All of the skin-deep questions the people have been wanting to know the answers to, we've answered.

No Chinese-Indonesian b*tch on the internet is going to stop you from watching p*rn if that’s what you want to do, but I think what we need to work on and be more conscious of are: Where are we getting our p*rn (which sites, which production companies), what types of p*rn are we watching and thereby inadvertently demanding in the market, how much p*rn are we consuming, and for what reasons are we watching p*rn? P*rn addiction is SO prevalent, especially for men, it is one of the most pervasive addictions of our generation especially with us being in this modern digital age and given how easily accessible mainstream porn websites are, and what's worse is that watching porn is so normalized, especially for men. Ethics and social justice aside, it has such detrimental effects on your mental wellbeing. Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro; Men in my DMs asking me how much I cost 2:30 — P*rn addiction in men vs. women (Signs & Symptoms); My personal story and journey battling p*rn addiction since a young child & now not being able to get off to p*rn anymore after starting birth control 28:23  — "Can I still watch p*rn?"

This episode is sponsored by Lactacyd Fem, the #1 Feminine wash brand with 75 years of expertise in the Feminine Hygiene industry. P*rn is often many people’s first source of sexual education, as a result it creates unrealistic expectations of what 'intimacy' should look and feel like, despite it all being staged. In this episode, laugh and scream along with Indah and Peter as they debunk a lot of the misconceptions and inaccuracies found in the adult entertainment industry, as well as spill for y'all the REAL tea on things like sq*irting, c*mming, length vs. girth, how to REALLY tell when she's reached O-city, and how to ACTUALLY make him feel good when riding on top. What were some of Indah and Peter's own internalized misconceptions and unrealistic expectations as a result of their pornographic consumptions, and how the hell did a booty-call leave Indah with first-degree burns?

Also really sorry that there are no more-specific timestamps, it's because Indah and Peter kind of went all over the place, and a lot of different things all at the same time that it's pretty hard to divide & categorize.

There are groomers, and then there are people that exhibit romantic and sexual behaviors and tendencies of being a groomer, and unfortunately for all of us the line separating the two grow incrementally thinner and thinner by the day.

Time to sit down for some sisterly talks with Indah & Lunar. How did two young women that have both been raised by single moms grow up to perceive motherhood & marriage? Has modern feminism gone too far in promoting the #girlboss trope that it now has come to the extent of undermining and undervaluing mothers women that genuinely want to take care of the home and raise kids? In this episode we talk about the struggles of living up to the modern feminist expectation of being hyper-independent and defying patriarchal traditions, and is it offensive to call a woman a "housewife?" You're gonna want some snacks, pour some wine, and maybe grab some tissues for this one...
