chat: the middle child has it the hardest pekora: "what had the middle brother ever to deal with?" chat: a sibling that brings a knife to a fist fight pekora: okay wait now.
Pekora's mom is too nice. Going to remake a meal just because they prefer the prawn straight instead of curly. My mom would just tell me to eat it lmao. It's literally the same thing. It's crazy how someone so talkative can love someone that doesn't talk at all. I would think they would get bored, but maybe they love the fact that they're a good listener.
Maybe the brother does not eat it because they want Pekora to eat it. I mean it seems like the men in Pekora household is the quiet caring person though, although they seems to be shy enough to express it.
She has a house of her own, and honestly I feel she's a lot happier there. It might be a coincidence, but she really seems to have opened up emotionally to people since moving out.
I totally understand. Me and my sister are the same way. We don't go out of our way to talk to each other or see each other except at get togethers for holidays or birthdays. At least she's a good talker and story teller so our family doesn't just sit in awkward silence.
Not sure if outlier but am oldest and grew up in a younger sibling bias home. Felt like each new sibling was a shiny brand new toy. Although technically got more attention, a lot of it was scolding and lectures about setting the example.
As a middle child, I can confirm all the bias is true because all my siblings got computers, the newest phones, desks, and ability to get something they want edit: forgot I was the one who had to cook for myself because my mom did not like making extras for me
Our family has 3 brothers (among them me) and 1 sister (second-to-last in age). Our mother outright had said many times that she originally always just wanted a daughter... and continued showing it throughout many years by always prioritizing our sister and her comfort/happiness in basically everything at the cost of any sorts of logic or justice. This has not stopped even now, despite her (maybe exactly because of that?) growing up to be the absolute black sheep out of us siblings.
Do not falter, stay strong in your convictions and ideals. Honor and dignity will give you a stoic personality. If you fail, you will become like my father and his 2 brothers, fawning over that spoiled whre little sister parasite that leeches money and happiness from everyone around her. This situation taught me gender equality towards women and I do not fear society ostracizing me for drop kicking a femoid Karen if she deserves it. I'd rather be a sigma long wolf with no extended family than a cucked-by-his-sister brother that is my father and uncles. Thanks Grandma, rest in piss.
My parents spoiled my older brothers and didn't as much with me. I even hear this began before I was born. My parents would go out to eat a lot while pregnant with the other two but not myself. They actually told me this directly😂😂😂😂 As a result I was born slightly underweight. This continued even through up to my teenage years where I would witness my brothers get everything before me haha which led to me ending up getting a job first before they did at 17, and I paid for my own first cell phone, bought more awesome foods and moved out properly at 18 while my siblings stayed behind to keep being spoiled. I got the short end in the past, but I sure showed them later on 😊
I don't know about Southeast Asia, but in East Asia, due to the influence of China's Confucian philosophy, there is still a strong tradition that the eldest son takes over the family and takes care of his parents, so the idea is that eldest sons and sons are valued. there is. This culture remains because women become brides and marry into other families.
Its Asia in general is very Male orientated In 2019 Japan had the Scandal with its medical schools choosing less qualified male candidates over more qualified female ones and the fact that being a woman in Japan will just automatically be a bad thing for your career has Japanese companies are way less likely to promote a woman over a man. No matter how hard you work. And then there is the famous line from a major Mangaka that basically said Women cant make good manga because they have no passion
Can relate. I'm not *that* close to any of my siblings except the youngest because of the huge age gap (17 years). And I'm the eldest. We don't hate each other at all. We're just not the kind that jokes around each other, playing around and stuffs. All of us doing our own thing. Kinda jealous looking at other siblings that are really close, but at the same time cringes when imagining doing it with my sibling. Because we're just not it.
It's weird isn't it? My younger brother and I are the same way. He's off living his life and I'm living mine we'll message each other about some video game or a song like once every 3 months and that's about it. When he comes over to visit my mom like once every 6 months then I'll see him for like 20 minutes and I'll talk to him a little bit and it's friendly but then when he goes back home we don't really feel this desire or need to stay connected. You would think that after living together for 20 years growing up together and stuff we would but oh well. Humans are just like that. I especially related to the part where you said you are jealous of close siblings hanging out and doing stuff together but thinking about you and your siblings trying to do that just makes you cringe. Man do I understand that feeling.
Old asian families does this male bias a lot, i was one as well being a male i was favored and spoiled heavily by my father, my mother while its still treat both me and my sister fairly still has this kind of mindset that only the male carried the family while the female will be soon married off to other family, and now it was my sister who grew up successfull and become rich while me kinda went a wrong way with my life and thankfully despite me not treating her well and often hit her when we're getting a fight, she's not treating me bad and even took me under her so i can live at least a decent life and not ended up homeless, so yeah i feel sorry for pekora and very happy that she found her success now and perhaps and hopefully her males family could change their ancient and messed up male bias mindset.
i dont know how to feel about this one cuz I cooked my own food from fifth grader and before that I just leech off my grandma next door for a hot water for my instant noodle. I grew up eating fried egg and instant noodles also eating them alone. Now that I have siblings I dont know how to interact with them tbh. (Just a family rant downthere.) They always wanted a daughter so they spoiled the third sibling alot. It's kinda sad. They even celebrated her birthday. Man, you didn't know how I feel that day. Taking a family photo whilst I tried my best not to cry is hard. I remember I was tasked to give some to grandma next door. It leads me to sleptover at grandma place, tbh I just don't want them to see me cry because I get embarrassed very easily. The next morning my grandma put a candle next to the cake that I gave her. Whilst saying happy birthday. It was so funny because it was the candle that she usually use when there's a power outage.
I understand a male bias in an Asian family but never heard of going far to a point where males eat first and females eat the left overs lol. That's a bit yabai.
That's really disgusting in a way :( My mother was like that back in the day and I felt very bad for her. But I had fresh food with my little borther, so I always made sure to leave enough for her. Luckily thats not the case anymore.
@@CloviisSaurus To be fair, "asian" usually means "east asian". Most westerners explicitly say "south asian" when speaking of anything except Japan and Korea.
pekoras family reminds me off my own. my mother is a complete extrovert and so is her family, like my grandma and my aunts will always converse and talk and so on, they'll also have like three conversations at the same time and they'll seamlessly interrupt one to continue the other it's a bizarre thing to witness. meanwhile my dad, my brother (to a lesser extent) and me, can barely keep up with that energy, when this is going on, like my bro and i can handle it when we're severely drunk, but my dad quit drinking decades ago so he'll just leave the room and nobody questions it.
sounds more like an older sibling bias to me, i know cause ever since our eldest left i assumed command over these peasants and have been guilty of abusing priority from time to time
Traditional asian families are like that. Born in one and upto now I'm older (I'm old to be most people's aunt in here), I'm still not appreciated though all the time they pushed things to me and when I can't help them, they get angry. It's taxing mentally, really especially when you're own father tells you that he accidentally made your mother pregnant and they tried to abort me but it was unsuccessful. Maybe it's the reason that gave me some problems growing up too. I am envy with happy families too and always hope for them to be happy cause I know how much it sucks to live in an unhappy life.
"when you're own father tells you that he accidentally made your mother pregnant and they tried to abort me but it was unsuccessful" That just seems like straight up manipulation, tbh. A way of pushing the idea that you're nothing to them unless you make yourself worthwhile, perhaps. Well, either that or just straight-up trying to inflict mental suffering for the sake of it
Pekora's dad sounds like a big man with a serious face all the time and a big manly voice. But he doesn't know how to handle Pekora, so he needs Pekomama to be in the middle.
Japanese culture is still full of superstition. That kinda goes for most of Asia. It's fascinating to see them being simultaneously futuristic and old-fashioned.
@@AirLancer talking paperwork when the next biggest economy in the world (Germany) is also full of bureaucratic old-school processes. If it's not broke then don't change it as traditions are big in those countries. Also paired with the fact that it's older males and females in the government which is avert to change.
I'm guessing she had a lot of struggle with that and that might have played a role in her social anxiety but also in her being kind and outgoing in some ways
The male eating first is kinda weird sure, but the room thing is completely normal and not about gender at all. Its just an older sibling thing. What, you want to give the younger sibling a room and let the older sibling share a room with the parent? That is weird.
@@grilledflatbread4692 well your family's way of doing things is what counts as a gender bias then. Which is fine I'm not one to judge. But the smallest sibling sharing a room with the parents until they grow up a bit is a completely normal way of doing things regardless of the gender of the sibling.
@@grilledflatbread4692Not usually how it works on asian families... Even more. A kid. Older siblings always get more and pass down the line when it comes to this kinda stuff. Although in turn, younger siblings gets more favors. Which all in turn will make a bias POV from both sides.
I don’t got real parents by blood but my grandfather talks with me a whole lot! & always teasing my little sister! So it’s sad to see pekora’s father not talk with her as much… But can’t be helped not every family is close obviously 😅
It's always been weird seeing others treat their siblings like close relationships. I have six siblings, and my relationships with them are neutral at best. At BEST. Most of that has to do with my mother, but that's a whole other thing.
True! Can’t argue with that i guess… Wonder why tho? Has somebody watched way to much incest anime???? Jk! But it’s gives off a weird feeling! Being close or hugging siblings 🤣
My mom and dad talk a lot but it's either about politics or science and I'm annoyed of hearing it so much. I can understand male bias our family is very traditional in the sense that only me and mom cook, clean and etc. Me and my siblings talk little but I'd say we're close enough
It's a weird situation for me. I have two older half-siblings, from my father's previous marriage, who grew up with us. Then myself and a younger sister. I don't really have a relationship with the older two at all, neutral as Pekora put it. I was still young when they left the nest. But my younger sister and I are quite close. We're hardly even a year apart, so that helps things, I think, giving us more in common.
Oh man, that's really some personal stuffs she's sharing. Make me wish I could understand Japanese so I can hear more stories like this. In my family, we dont have male bias but I relate to this story a lot. I myself dont like to talk, my father is also like that. So the relationship between me and my sister is pretty similar to what Pekora described here. Nothing's wrong with it. But Pekora got treated kinda very unfairly as a child. I wonder if those trauma shaped her personalities like we see today. Anyway, wish her all the best.
Even tho she sounds distant to her brothers. She did say that her brothers had a lot of influence to her while growing up and most of the games she played anime/manga and the internet were all introduce to her via her brothers. So it was thanks to her bros that we got Pekora as the way she is today. So I salute to the fellow cultured men that is the Usada bros.🫡
The cultural difference here- and likely traditional difference among even families in that region from what I can gather -is a bit staggering. Typical family bonding and unity is very VERY different in the West and sometimes it's hard not to tilt your head in confusion when you hear stories like this. I don't always get along with my siblings, far from it at times, but we're undeniably close, I shared a room with my younger sibling for decades. We shared interests, hobbies and taught each other stuff. Eating together as a family was a very big when we were all younger and only kinda tapered off after my father passed away. My father was not only the rock of my family (though not necessarily the best provider which was a big part of my mother's role) but he was also the life and culture of the family, always sharing new things, passing on wisdom, joking (tastefully) and being there as an emotional support. It's really strange even here when I see family dynamics that leave people so distant from their relatives.
Even from my point of view as a Japanese, Pekora's way of thinking and family are still strange. I think it is because she is an eccentric that she is able to continue to lead the way in this kind of industry.
It depends of the eldest child's gender, I'm the son of the middle and I have a big brother and a little sister so I have to inherit all my brother's old clothes and stuff. And always be bypassed because my mom loves him the most and my dad loves her the most, I'm aware of it and makes me feel kinda neutral almost always
I find the room thing funny because when my sister was born I was kicked out of my room and made to share one with my older brother while she was only one with a room to herself. I also somewhat relate about the not talking with your siblings since me and my sister rarely talk due to her always having an attitude or being in a bad mood to anyone who isn't one of her friends, and my brother is essentially a hermit and almost impossible to get a response from for everyone in the family and we frequently go months without hearing anything from him even if we try to reach out, even his friends don't really talk to him anymore for a similar reason since it seems he makes no effort to reach out to anyone if not prodded constantly to do so.
Not sure about anyone being spoiled or neglected more than others or not in my family, but I'm the third oldest in a family of 7, with two older brothers, and four younger siblings. :p
I can understand better now why she didn't pay or want to pay anything even while still living at home with her parents when she first started. With an old fashioned family structure like that, I wouldn't really feel like paying back anything at all either.
Um you are wrong Pekora wanted to give Pekomama money but Pekomama declined her offer…so it is got nothing to it , her relationship with her family is Neutral like in this clip stay.
the youngest sibling having to eat the leftovers and getting the older sibling worn clothes is pretty universal. i basically was malnurished my whole life ( at each medical checkup from 6 to 17, i was told that i was underweight ) and when i was in middle school and high school, i wore baggy clothes and other awful 90s thing because those were stuff that i got from my older sibling.
It sounds like it was more intense than that though. The men in the house got to eat first, and the women in the house ate second. That’s not just “give the younger sibling the older siblings stuff as hand me downs”, that’s just blatant male bias. Also if you were actually malnourished because your family insisted on feeding you leftovers, that sounds like genuine abuse. Especially if it kept happening after the first time you were found to be malnourished.
@@tropicturtle9021It sounds a bit of a mix but yeah... If what she says is true. It's def quite much. Although we don't have all the info anyway cause that kind of thing happens also in our house but more based on who needs to go first.
@@tropicturtle9021 I imagine it's more based on who needs to leave the table first, if table space is an issue or schedules. If there is a large age gap between Pekora and her siblings, then the older brothers prob have jobs or stuff like studying for university you have to consider.
Her way of seing relationships has always been kinda depressing in my opinion, but if she is happy in her own world that's nobody business and specially not ours I guess. Welp her male family members might be the reason of some of her ways of seing life, what she was telling there is disturbing and very sad, I understand it better now.
It makes you be thankful for having a family that interacts and shows equality. I’m super thankful I have a great relationship with my parents and brother. It makes me feel bad for what Pekora went through; but the sad thing is she isn’t the only one going through that same experience. 😢😢
Ok I'm not Japanese so I don't know much about the culture but men and women eating separately and especially leftovers is definitely weird I can slightly relate to her experience with her older brothers, but for me it was more both of my older brothers annoying me a lot when I was young cause I was easy to pick on, later on our relationship turned rather neutral and indifferent I did always get their clothes handed down to me too, but I was lucky that my build was much thinner so most of it was too big for me, and my mother couldn't stand me wearing oversized clothes so she bought me some I did feel more privileged than my brothers though, they were always the one doing manual tasks around the house and I was always told not to do anything because I'm weak, clumsy and I work slowly (for them it must have looked like I was doing it on purpose in order to avoid effort). I never volunteered to help though so it is my fault, I'm sure doing my part of the work would have made them leave me alone for the most part. In the end sibling dynamics are pretty complex, it's always a power struggle where the older sibling tries to constantly show their physical and moral superiority over the younger, and if they don't manage to it kinda hurts their own ego. That's probably why some more extroverted and energetic younger siblings always act annoying towards the older ones, but for the shy and quiet younger siblings it can be a struggle in their earlier years
Man, i love kid seen i was very little and still, If Pekora was my little sister and she was the youngest, i swear ill give all i have to her like i did to my lil brother but even more. My house was kinda small and me and my 2 brothers was sleep together till 2 turn 17 and we share almost everything. We all wishes to have a little sister to protect her but it wasn't happen
That eating thing is kinda f’ed up, why can’t they just eat at the same time? I would never ever do that shit to my mom and my sister (especially considering the mom most likely made the food as well). I can understand the room and clothes thing tho if space and money is tight, which it is a lot of times with a lot of children.
I felt that, my dad would refuse to talk to us unless it was scolding us screaming and then barging out of the room or the house to not deal with the hardest part which is actually parenting and then if we hear concerns from him would be indirectly from him telling my mom "you have to tell them this and that!" honestly, it was so tiring growing up... Specially for my mother
Pekora reaction is like those modern girl who reborn in those Eastern Asia history drama tv show/novels lol. Males bias was a big thing in the past (some old tradition families still had it), people could just go watch/read those things if you want to know lol.
It's still a thing, because of the tradition of old folks being cared for by their son's family, while the daughters would take care of their husband's parents
Male bias in a family is def asking the daughter to have daddy issues in the future. My sister remembers with full resentment on how our dad treated her poorly, now that she's successful and he's old its really coming back to bite him. Treat all your kids(male/female) well and fair if you want to have the best of worlds!
Interesting.. so her household is the old traditional one. It is same with my father's household. Maybe my father's even worse because female can't eat on same tables with male.
Sounds like the age gaps between the siblings is quite big. And you can't just modify a house to add a room. 😂😂😂 Heck even at 25 I don't even have my own room yet. 😂
Some ppl are less fortunate with the family gatcha, due to different reasons they are less emotionally attached to their family members, so they don’t communicate much, leading to more detachment, and the vicious cycle goes on. Or some just doesn’t know how to communicate.
I mean, she says that her father and brother would eat first, and her mom and her would only get leftovers. Like if you were treated like a non person in your own house, would you still like your family?
@@TOjJeto i dont think thats how pekora's mean when she say it, not like "leftover" literally, maybe more like that curled shrimp that her brother doesnt want to eat is the one that pekora will eat
@@sigadop3492 Hard to say, a few people have pointed out that it was the norm in Japan and Korea some decades ago. I've never seen this in action in any JP media I've consumed, so I was really surprised it was even a thing.
I'll never understand families whose siblings aren't close. We've had issues from time to time(who doesn't) but as an older brother, to say that I wouldn't go as far as to give up my life for the younger... Maybe I'm just too loyal. Too caring. They're my weak spot.
Sometimes people within families just don't connect because they're not compatible (e.g. if one of the siblings just always wants to keep to themselves and others aren't particularly pushy), if the parents happen to (intentionally or not) create barriers between children and creating grounds for early conflict, etc. Seems like the best outcomes are also with same ages or medium gaps of a few years, where the siblings are either always in the same position, or one of them is more mature and self-aware than the other, leading to them managing their own relationship to an extent
Old asian families are like that. My mom grew up in chinese family and it's exactly the same. They tend to favor boys because girls will eventually married out and use other family's surnames. Kinda insane ngl, it's like they try to min/max in real life😂
More like a hierarchy bias at least from whaf im getting from her. Made it obvious by the passing out down the line thing... A pretty common theme even in my country ph.
@drejade7119 at first, i thought the same thing too. "maybe it's a hierarchy thing?" but then pekora said "the male eating first, the leftovers will be given to pekora and mommy" and my reaction was like ✋🏻 hol' up this is just straight-up male bias 💀 k-dramas, webtoon, and books based irl often show this
@@Kana-er4tr That's more on Korean. Japan is more of a family eating together type. But yeah, if what she says is actually how it is then its really fucked up. But in Asian society, it happens usually if the first eater is working. They need to rush more. But then its weird cause pekomama could easily adjust the food... We don't really have much info to get the cull context given also that its known that Pekora acts exactly like the younger one by being able to request more from her brothers which is quite known.
Talkative outgoing mother Stoic and silent father and brothers Cute daughter everyone at school (work) wants to befriend, but she's too introverted Pekora is literally Komi
Noisy mommy, noise daughter. I got some cousins who don't really get along with each other - when they grew up there was a lot of rivalry. I guess it's "neutral" like how Pekora describes it now. It's like a detachment of feelings, it feels sad. I get along very well with my sibling. Wow, they still do the males eat first in today's Japan? Very conservative family then. This does make sense with Pekora - in real life she is supposedly very polite and demure, this Pekora alter ego is where she can let go of her true feelings and frustrations.
Quit it with the internet psychoanalysis. You don’t really know Pekora. She’s not your friend and has no idea you exist. It’s just creepy and unhealthy.
@@AdamantLightLPThe guy said absolutely ONE thing that COULD be taken as psychoanalytical, and even that isn’t because SHE said HERSELF. Stop being needlessly callous to fellow fans dude. Relax.
@@NousagiCaptain He kinda did though. Not as bad as some other examples, but still. I can just as easily tell you; Stop obsessing over her dude. Relax. It ain't that serious, no need to defend your fellow fanboys.
@@schnek8927 “He kinda did.” You didn’t read my comment. I never said he didn’t do anything. Don’t do that dude. I said there was one thing that was psychoanalytical. So I acknowledged it. Then I made the point that, if you are repeating info that the streamer. Herself. Pekora. Has said that exact reasoning. Then it’s not really psychoanalytical. Your so quick to argue with me, about a point I never made. “He kinda did.” Don’t skim, read dude.
Maybe you never heard the term, but you've never met a family in which the men are treated like the "kings" of the house? Growing up in the late 90s / early 2000s in Latin America it was still relatively common, and it used to be even more common in the past.
Male bias unfortunately exists in many Asian countries, but not necessarily in all Asian families. This is mainly because in the past it's the son who carries the family name and gives it to their children, and grandsons then pass it on to theirs and so forth to "keep the family name alive". It was so bad that when China adopted their one child policy some families were abandoning their daughters or aborting them during pregnancy so they could have sons. If you don't believe it you can simply look up "China one child policy and abandoned infant girls", some really messed up stuff. There's even a severely extreme case of radical misogynists vs. radical misandrists in South Korea in recent years, which makes the whole situation in the west seem tame by comparison. In Pekora's situation I'd say it's probably due to her father being from a much older generation and being very reserved?
@@imLumineux That's a lot of bias you've got there... First of, "male bias" is not a bias at all. If the men are the providers of the family then them being kept well-fed is more important. Men are more capable both mentally and physically, so them being the providers is natural. (do i really need to explain this...?) Also, even more importantly, the abandoned girls issue is a result of *female privilege.* Don't believe me? Just think for a second... Chinese men have expectations, both cultural and LEGAL, to provide for their family. Women do not have these responsibilities, so when you implement a ban on more than one child the parents (especially in a greedy/selfish culture like china) will want to ensure they get a male child who will be forced to support them. Just another example of female privilege biting women in the arse. - "There's even a severely extreme case of radical misogynists vs. radical misandrists" Haha! No. Misandrists, yes. Misogynists, no.
As an armchair psychologist, I can confirm based on Pekora's filial analysis that she has ninjinpsychotropia; as a result of exposure to lunar cycles and Marine, Pekora isn't getting enough vitamin E. the only cure is spending more time with Kiara
Not everything has to be called sexism or any kind of -ism. Not every cultural aspect of other countries needs to be "corrected" by American culture to be "right".
yeah. japan culture. man carry everything. i understand because i'm asian too. did pekora said her dad and bro is horrible person or get abusive by her dad?
@@megatama30 Cuz exaggeration is fun for people. Don't just believe speculations. If the male members were being abusive, it doesn't explain the fact that they're the quiet ones while the female members were chatty. The thing with families like this is that the members' perspectives are fractured, and we only got Pekora's.
must be rough, i hope she visits her mom or lets her visit her, it sounds like she has to put up with untaltakive men and was made to put her daughter up to it too. being latin american to me north american people already have very distant relationship with their families, so japanese people weird me out even more
- " it sounds like she has to put up with untaltakive men and was made to put her daughter up to it too." Oh no... The horror... Truly first world problems, holy hell.
@@schnek8927 domestic abuse can cause mental health problems on kids growing up around it or mark their personality negatively. i think your misogyny made you read that more dramatically than i implied though, is not about the women of the house being oppressed by the men is just a toxic relationship and cohabitation
