another "Charlie Kirk crushes" video

This one ends with the leftie getting vulgar and stomping off:

The student ends up saying to Kirk, "Fuck you—and your face is small." This triggered a memory of a class years ago when I was a teacher at Sookmyung Women's University, and one of my students said she wished she had "a small face." What the term "small face" means differs between Koreans and Americans. In the States, a small face refers to having all your facial features concentrated in a tighter area—eyes, nose, mouth. In Korea, a "small face" is one in which not a lot of flesh appears around your facial features, so it's actually the opposite: a "small" Korean face has a sleek jawline and nicely proportioned eye spacing such that the eyes don't appear to be "bordered" by flesh.

Frankly, I don't see too many Americans calling the girl on the right "big-faced," which sounds ugly, so the standard of the "big face" is probably purely a Korean thing. Even further, I don't see Koreans using the term "big-faced" at all (do they?): they merely wish for a small face, with "big face" being an implied contrast about which we will never, ever speak.

It is always hilarious to see the woke crowd confronted with facts and their own hypocrisy.

I don't know about big faces, but that Korean gal is a cutie.

Is that guy on the left an actual person or is that Photoshop? Because I'm going to see that face in my nightmares now.

Charles,

That's a Photoshopped image I found and plopped into my composite image. You are talking about my homemade composite image at the bottom, right, and not the video thumbnail at the top?

John,

She's apparently somebody famous.
