all this time i've been covering my ears going LALALALALA pretending that ~virtual idols~ don't exist and this is what you do to me? and hongjoong and yunho? please never fucking do that again it's an insult to them and real life actual human idols in general

#not to mention that like... with the introduction of virtual idols who aren't REAL and don't have feelings... idols you can't hurt and whose #rights you don't have to respect... i don't know how korean kpop fans will react and i dearly hope the vr idol thing will flop hard but who #fucking knows with a/e/s/p/a being wildly popular #in recent years with the appearance of those apps that have you pay money to 'subscribe' to idols' posts or for a chance of them seeing and #replying to your message... as though the relationship between fans and idols wasn't already transactional as fuck. as if some fans #weren't already treating idols as vending machines for fanservice #NOW you're adding glorified 3d models who could technically do everything and work all day. i would love to be able to confidently say #it's not going to affect real idols' working conditions but i'm not that optimistic #not to mention that like... it's such an obvious cash grab/save move that i'm nauseous #japanese idol franchises at least have them be actual characters who interact with each other and have backstories. they exist WITHIN their #story. when i saw that fucking girls something thing he/ejin participated in i was so embarrassed because its like. oh shes from a planet #of mice and she dreams of building a second moon out of cheese. this kinda level shit. it's pathetic #and poor hongjoong and yunho have to fucking. michael jordan in space jam this shit when they just signed up to sing and dance #honest to god i hate it so much. i want to say make this shit FLOP but everyone said the same thing about n/f/ts and yet korea lived it for #like a year. headdesk as they used to say #shrimp thoughts #also they're just ugly.
