This is an (old) parody of an even older (allegedly sincere) meme comparing women in video games. The "ugly western" women were like Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, the ladies from the Last of Us 2, and I think new Lara Croft from the reboot series. The "beautiful and correct" eastern women were all anime characters with huge tits, obviously.

The joke here is of course that all the "western" men are stereotypically masculine and all the "eastern" men are bishonen anime characters and femboys.

I say it was "allegedly sincere" because how could you even tell if something like that is parody or a truly held chud belief?

Ah, I see. Thanks for that explanation.
