When mainly white people on platforms such as Reddit and TikTok appropriate the aesthetics of East Asian culture (particularly Japan and Korea) often sexualising it.
They tend to get defensive, play the victim card or claim to be culturally 'appreciating' rather than 'appropriating' when called out by actual East Asians or EA Wasians.
An academic would understand this as Orientalism, a geographer would understand this as an 'outsider, media perspective of place', but an EA baiter just thinks they are ~unique~. EA baiters also frequently seem to combine Korea, Japan and China into 'Asia' forgetting about South-East Asia, South Asia and the Middle East.
Non-EA who actually try to learn about and appreciate the complexity of EA countries, traditions, history, culture, future etc. are wonderful people.

Get the EA Baiting mug.The act in a First Person Shooter (FPS) video game where a player lures others into a kill zone with the bait of a desirable item. Also by luring players into a kill zone rigged by mines by intentionally giving their position away to the enemy. Claymores and C-4 traps are sometimes referred to as cream pies (claymore) and cupcakes (C-4).
I was playing Black ops when I started Master Baiting. I dropped my care package in the courtyard while I took cover to kill those that tried to take it. I rigged the doorway with claymores then started shooting out the window so others would try to rush and taste my cream pie. I started unloading out the window when they came to see me master bait and took a cream pie in the face. Delicious.
