My whole problem with the whole Jae thing, aside from the whole obvious reason why the thing he said was horrible, are the people using the excuse that they’ve been friends for so long to defend him. Even as friends you are very much capable of hurting the other person. Being friends with someone still means you can harass, hurt, and bully your friends. Your friends are still people with emotions and feelings and their own thoughts. Jamie expressed her hurt on Twitter and the fact that his defenders are ignoring that for the sake of “well they’re friends so it’s fine” is really stupid. He’s a 29 year old man. He’s a grown man. Stop treating him like a child. Also another thing people saying he doesn’t know what it means and should be educated… why? Again he’s 29, fluent in English, is from Cali ( thot is a pretty common word there and on the internet ) and a grown man. So what education is there to be had? What do you gain from defending and “educating” a man who is probably way older than you? I don’t see anything so stop. Jae messed up. Stop defending him.

Let’s be honest and frank. Kpop fans, please stop weaponizing racist issues to fuel your stupid fanwars. Because what I’m seeing is that you don’t actually care about important issues. What I’m seeing is, ‘let me use this issue to one-up you and make it appear like my fav has a better image’. I’m tired of people going, “Well so and so did this too so clearly my fav is better”. Because at this point, let’s be honest, 99% of the Kpop industry has done something problematic. These issues aren’t weapons and toys you can use to boost your fav on a higher pedestal. These issues affect real people, and you using them for a stupid fanwar is disrespectful and callous.

Also can people outside of a community stop accepting apologies when it’s not meant for them. IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE COMMUNITY IT WAS MEANT FOR THEN YOU DO NOT GET A SAY IN IT. And honestly, can we move beyond apologies. I’m not saying apologies aren’t great because when they apologize it means they saw the issue. But some of you are way too content with stopping there, forgiving, and forgetting it ever happened. Then you get surprised or hurt when they do it again. Like seriously, I rather never get an apology as long as they grow and educate themselves and actually show they regret what they did and what to fix what they did. Do I want the issue to be acknowledged? Yes, I do. But at the same time, these apologies that crop up almost every week are losing meaning. Most of them are a copy and paste format with no further action shown beyond words written on a page. Like how am I supposed to know if they actually cared and were hurt or if they’re just saying it to quell anger? It’s so easy for people to say ‘sorry’ especially through a computer screen, but it’s not actually easy to show that you are trying to mend your mistake.

I left for a while ( I was planning on revamping but didn’t happen ) because I was honestly just tired and stressed but I’m back briefly just to ask...

What is wrong with fandoms and people these days? You should not be losing your fucking morals over kpop. The amount of racism ( especially towards Black kpop fans which is fucking stupid when Back kpop fans are the literal backbone of the community and kpop is influenced by Black culture ), homophobia, misogynism, and transphobia I’ve been seeing a lot lately is truly fucking disgusting ( and I’ve been a kpop fan for over a decade so you would think I wouldn’t be so angry but here we are ). You are losing your fucking morals over people who would not bat an eye for your well-being, who do not know you exist, who do not interact with you one-on-one. But the way so many of you protect them as if you really personally know them is outrageous. When will some of you ( note how I said some so don’t come for my head ) realize that this is not a fantasy, when will some of you stop doing mental gymnastics just so you can ignore your faves’ wrongdoings? I get that you love your faves and I’m sure they appreciate you in some form, but to blatantly go out of your way to hurt people, bully them, and just be outright disgusting to other fans is not it. You’re going to end up ruining your faves’ career.

Also it’s just funny how the same people doing these despicable acts are the first to tell other fans in other fandoms to hold their faves accountable but then turn a blind eye when it comes to their faves. This is kpop. It is meant to be an escape, not a competition. It is meant to be fun but some of you all are turning it into this cesspool of hate and toxicity. It is tiring. Do fucking better and stop losing your morals and being hateful as hell. Go touch some grass.

my own rant and my own experience as a southeast asian women. if you are racist, misogynistic, or try to tell me i’m being sensitive over what’s been happening to asians do not interact with me. i do not speak for the entire asian community. but i have my own thoughts and experiences i want to talk about them.

i have been out of tune with things lately because i’ve just been super tired and i didn’t really take in account how hard the past few days were actually hitting me. and honestly i was just tired of people trying to tell me how to feel. i’ve had a lot of things to say but no way of really saying them because i’m awkward and can never properly translate my thoughts as written things. and just the bad memories i have from messed up encounters with creepers came back so i couldn’t handle. 

i just want to say that you should not be only caring about asian lives now just because you like kpop / kdramas / c dramas / thai bls / animes. do not only care about the asians you have found desirable, attractive, educated. do not think asia is only three countries in the east. do not deny asian people who do not fit your limited idea of what asians look or act like their asian identity ( there are more points on the compass than just the east - asia is literally the largest continent ). do not think our countries are la la land simply because “aesthetics” and then get mad at asians and other people who live there when they tell you that our countries have issues we definitely need and should address ( i’m tired of people acting like asia is a perfect bubble where bad things only happen once in a while ) and we don’t know anything ( you stereotype us as being smart but then act like we’re dumb or are babies living in a perfect fantasy world ). do not think we are breeding grounds for you to make cute mixed babies. and do not think saying things like you have “yellow fever” or saying equally creepy things is a compliment when it’s not. 

there is nothing wrong with consuming asian media but if you simply reduce us to only surface level things and then get mad at US for telling YOU certain things that should not be happening because somehow you think you know more than the actual asian person then stop. there is nothing wrong with finding us cute, sexy, attractive, beautiful, smart, or whatever other admiration you have but there is something wrong when you forget that we’re humans and force a whole imagined narrative onto us and then get mad at us when we don’t fit it. there is something wrong when you write us off as one-dimensional characters. there is nothing wrong with asian people who are sexual or sexy or confident but there is something wrong when ( especially when they’re women ) you have written or see her off as simply a seductress, some forbidden or foreign fruit that somehow becomes submissive and servile when she’s with her partner ( especially a man ) and she suddenly has no autonomy, no control of herself; or putting blame on us for your horniness when we have done literally nothing but breathe. there is nothing wrong with asian people who are sweet, innocent, and naïve but there is something wrong when they again have no autonomy, when you write them off always being coddled, always needing a savior ( especially by a white man ), and treating 30-40 year olds like children and thinking they know nothing just because they have cute characteristics or you think they’re cute. there is nothing wrong with the asian person who is smart but there is something wrong when you think every asian person is smart and then make cruel, microaggressive jokes when we fail in the thing you think asians are supposed to be smart in and constantly say things that are not for you too say if you’re non-asian; or deny creative asians the opportunity to be artists because you don’t think asians can be creative. there is nothing wrong with rich asians but there is something wrong when you ignore that wealth gaps exist and that many asians live in poverty, and that we all do not live glamorous lifestyles. 

as a writer, i do not expect nor want non-asian people writing asian experiences into their asian characters because you will not know or understand my experiences as an southeast asian women ( this is literally just a general thing, if you’re not part of a community you don’t have to try so hard to write experiences ). we just want you to write us as more than one personality trait that you got from a drama. i don’t expect you to know every nuance of every single asian culture but i want you to know that there are differences in each culture, and that we take pride in each one, and that we are not the same. asians have shared experiences but it doesn’t mean we are all the same. WE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME. i don’t want to read cultures being mixed together because well “all asians are essentially the same anyways” and then seeing people take a korean person and having them play a japanese person ( the fact that so many people forget lana condor is not korean, and that she’s vietnamese bothers me so much ) because again we are not a monolith. our languages are different. our hierarchies and the way we talk to each other are different. the way we see and face things are different ( southeast asians face things much differently than east asians and south asians face things much differently than west asians; asians in their homeland face things differently from asian-americans ). we may share traditions and holidays but we have many different ones from each other because WE ARE DIVERSE AND NOT A MONOLITH. i don’t expect you to know every asian countries’ history ( hell i’m still learning because there’s a lot to learn ) but when an asian person tells you something about their history or how that history has carried over the years and the consequences from that history, and you choose to ignore that because it doesn’t fit your fantastical view of what asia is then stop. 

you should be caring about our lives simply because we are human. that is it. not because we’re just entertaining but because we’re just humans. we are just humans.

okay i’m done. i’ll be gone from this blog again.

If you’re going to call out idols for problematic behavior, then you better have that same energy all the time. I’m very sick and tired of fans excusing their own idols’ problematic behaviors but calling out other idols they’re not fans of for the same fucking thing. Y’all will list all the problems theyve done but turn around to a group who has done the same shit and just be like oh their company did it, oh they didn’t know, oh they’re babies (also stop infantilizing idols especially when they’re like 21+), oh blah blah whatever excuse you can make to downplay it. THE HYPOCRISY. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO GIRL GROUPS. Fans will be so quick to cancel girl groups but will downplay/hide the things their boy idols do. And I’m saying this as a person who likes boy groups. I’ve been observing this behavior for years and the misogyny is so rampant. Stop being hypocritical. If you’re gonna call something out, call it out. But you better be doing it for everyone.

[everythingkpopuniverse]

Hiiii so I’m back with a quick thing that I just wanted to talk about:

Listen I understand if you’re disappointed and upset with your idols and faves and you choose not to stan after a controversy blows up. You don’t have to accept their apologies (and you should definitely not be the one accepting it if you’re not part of the group/community/individual it was for because it’s not about you). Totally understandable and I have done the same. But here’s the fucking thing that absolutely grinds my gear. Whenever something comes out, yall really like to act as if you’ve known this idol has always been this way. “There’s just something about them that never sat right with me.” “Oh my gosh I totally knew it.” “Wow, I always had my suspicions.” “And people thought they were so good. I always knew otherwise.” Like please shut the fuck up. You do not know your idols and the way some of you go back and dig up like three second clips to prove how you’ve always known is so irritating. NO ONE KNOWS THEIR IDOLS. STOP ACTING LIKE YOURE SOME VIP MEMBER WHO KNEW EVERYTHING. YOU KNOW NOTHING. This goes for anything too. The way your faves act and think and believe and whatever else is not up to you. You do not know anything until that information is voluntarily given to you. So please stop acting high and mighty and acting you “knew” all along.

Hey reminder that you’re not a fake fan for not streaming. You’re not a fake fan for not buying albums or merch. You’re not a fake fan if you’ve never gone to a concert. You’re not a fake fan if you don’t pay attention to every single release, every single music video, every live, and every activity your fav has. You’re not a fake fan if you don’t like every single release your fav puts out. You’re not a fake fan if you call out your idol and educate them on things that are problematic. Your love and support and care for your idols is the most important. People have different circumstances and have different priorities. Your fav is also just human. Kpop is not a lifestyle so please don’t ever think you’re a fake fan. If you love them then that’s all good. I’ve been a kpop fan for 14 years and I only have one album and like three posters but I still love my groups and I do my best to watch stuff. But I also know I have things to do and things to prioritize. I’ve been hated on for not having albums and merch and not liking songs. I don’t want anyone feeling as if they’re less of a fan than others because of certain things. So please remember you’re a great fan.

[everythingkpopuniverse]

Honestly I wish kpop fans would stop jumping to conclusions and do some researching, proper digging, and communicating with a variety of people before making theories and ideas that can be - sometimes actually are - harmful to their idols, fans, and others. You don’t have to dig like it’s a research paper but maybe just look into different sources first. It could be a step to ending toxicity in this fandom. But maybe I’m too idealistic.
