No but atp anyone claiming WayV doesn’t get disadvantaged for being all foreigners in a company notoriously bad at treating foreigners fairly is outright wrong…..Like yes of course nuance and other context-specific considerations exist but I see folks bending over backward saying actually so and so’s lower skill level, behaviour, lack of bankability, bad luck, etc. is actually the golden bullet sole explanation if not justification for any lesser treatment they receive individually or in comparison to the Korean units—as if going back and saying that any identified unfairness is deserved because of minority individuals’ personal faults rather than systemic factors isn’t, like, the textbook move for dismissing discrimination 😭😭😭😭
(ofc this being based on fun pop music means it’s inherently not a huge deal in the grand scheme, and ofc wayv is as flawed as this all is, but when there’s a repeated, long-documented, pervasive pattern of flaws being treated, weighted, and digested v differently between foreign and non-foreign personalities by both management & pockets of fandom…..maybe there’s some broader prejudices at play that transcend fan-specific topics like personally preferred members or impressions of subfandoms’ etiquette. and maybe just maybe, these prejudices underlie a lot of the more individualized value judgments and claims being made selectively idk)
#fsc speaks#wayv#sorry I’m venting here hfhdgsfs clearly this is the only topic I open text posts for these days#it’s just damn there are people drenched in sinophobic biases but will say that they’re being objective & take that to the grave#ncity has the weirdest issue w sinophobia tbh#also this is referring to w6yv and their treatment#yes Aug 2021 changed a lot but using that as blanket explanation/justification for how the others have since been treated is…questionable#discrimination is just always gunna be there underlying everything so it’s unproductive to ‘um actually—‘ it tbh#the others will be screwed over as well but just not for this reason
