I made a comment on the original article pointing out a cultural and historical reason for the generations of cyclical abuse. JK generalized this, which clearly makes a different argument for root cause of abuse.
Is filial piety a part of Western Culture? No, not even close. Honor thy mother and father is not even comparable to the level of filial piety. Poverty, lack of education, substance abuse - that is universal causes for abuse. However, filial piety is another cause and unique to Asian cultures.
Incredible to me how this is lost by so many here.

- seattle_spring 3y agoThe article isn’t about filial piety though? It’s about generational abuse, in this case likely caused by filial piety. It almost seems like you’re gatekeeping others who have experienced abuse, downplaying it as somehow lesser than that experienced by Asian children.
- dang 3y agoHonestly, I really think you misread JKCalhoun, and then responded to that rather than to what JKCalhoun actually said. This happens a lot online, of course - especially on topics about which people are justly sensitive. It's not your fault and it's not unique to you. We all do it. It's inevitable. What's not inevitable is attacking other people. That's not allowed here. Much better is to keep the possibility of misreadings and misunderstandings in one's attention, and use it as a device to help one remain neutral, or at least respectful, in responding to people.
