Emotional Damage: Asian Parent Punishments 3

The part where steven thinks about all the tasks he was asked to do but forget the important one, it is so relatable.

This is what they need to teach us in school. The discipline of Emotional Damage must last throughout adulthood!

Steven neglected to mention one thing on the Example lesson: the ridiculous nature of your examples if you do them right might be so strong that your failure might raise an objection despite knowing it's a trap. This allows you to spring an "are you talking back to me?!" trap discussed in previous episodes of Failure Management or even use The Slipper to apply double or even triple the amount of E MO TIO NAL DA MAGE Essentially, it's a luring technique to set up a series of blows, rather than a standalone move if you use it properly.

Omg, yes! Cold water! I remember being a kid in the middle of summer and asking for a glass of cold water from my grandma. She asked me if I wanted to get pneumonia and die. Ah, good times.

I was about to eat some food but then my parents told me they knew a kid who ate food who got attacked by a cat and now lives with a family of geese. Thanks, Steven.

Bro that panic of trying to get the chore done as fast as possible before you get in trouble is portrayed beautifully

As a white boy with Asian parents I have dozens of emotion damage and this is very true, they had to walk up and down the hill, swim on land walk on water to go to school at my age

I had a Vietnamese friend growing up and I swear to God this is what it was like at his house. And when I visited my friend, it didn't matter if I was white, I got the same treatment as if I was part of the family. I still talk to my old friend to this day and he's got his own kids to torment now.

I like that Steven’s dad doesn’t even bother referring to your child as a child and skips straight to failure

As an Asian teenager with Asian parents, I'm telling you guys, these are pretty dang accurate lol

I still remember the call from my dad as soon as I walked in from school like he knew exactly when we walked in the house. Would pick up the phone and get "the house better ve clean and laundry better be done by time I'm home" he didn't have to threaten anything because you knew if it wasn't done there would be hell to pay. Shit even my friends were scared of my dad , guy can look at you and send chills down your spine. He's softer now but it took over 30 years to break him even a little.

this might seem a joke, but I have seen this IRL, and it is scary how accurate this is...

As a man that doesn't have Asian parents, I can confirm that this is real.

As an IRL psychologist, I cannot tell you how many times EMOTIONAL DAMAGE pops into my head during sessions!

As a person who has a Asian parents, I can confirm this is 100% percent real.

I can watch the same skit over and over. Always laughing!! You truly deserve your own show!!

When I was in high school, I became friends with a transfer student from HK.. Can confirm, this training is channeling his grandfather's spirit! That man's Failure Management (Emotional Damage) skills were on point... he was so skilled, even unassociated people 5 blocks away started to learn the piano! I still have flashbacks of the over the top stories. Like this one time I went to go get my friend so we could hang out with our friends, and his grandfather told this story of how he had to hunt white tigers, in the winter at night, while carrying multiple buckets of water for his small village from a river 15km away... and as a reward, he was allowed to stop at the local hardware store to work for money to buy the monthly sacks of rice for the family (which also had to be carried with everything else) To this day, I still feel like I'm not doing nearly enough for my family/friends whenever I want to go do something unproductive... lol

Big congratulations to Steven's dad for being promoted from professional Asian Dad... to Professional Asian.

Bonus emotional damage: Whenever your failure has a problem or is suffering from an illness or injury, follow these steps - provide no help - compare their situation to something much worse you or some other old relative went through - give them pointless advice (bonus: if the problem is some physical ailment or sickness, blame it on his attitude or emotional state) - related to the above, repeat the pointless advice, each time a bit louder - when your failure complains, show yourself offended - repeat these words: "I was trying to help, why do you have to be so unreasonable?" The unfairness will combine with his suffering and frustration to deliver maximum emotional damage

An incdent that is similar to this is one time I was about to go outside and touch some grass at night when my Asian parents told me that they knew that my deceased cousin touched grass and became one with them. I told them "like that ever happened", and they showed me the death certificate said "Mr. Allan Timmy died to grass poisoning". Thanks, Steven
