gigantopithecus Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 5 minutes ago, Witnessed ET said: I agrih with you sis, it’s frustrating to see him catch strays for no reason just because people “feel” like he gives them some “vibes” that’s exactly what I mean, Mingyu shows his natural darker skin tone most of the times compared to most male idols who have a white cast on their faces 99% of the time If these "vibes" were at least coming from videos where you can actually pick up on someone being two-faced or strange, it would at least make a little more sense. But most people have never seen him outside of his nth generic photoshoot about how hot he is. Any "vibes" you can pick up from a staged photoshoot is just your own assumptions of someone's physical looks Can't believe my attempt to use Mingyu to market Dino's solo turned into this. I might actually boycott Mingyu again because why has one post for Dino turned into me writing essays about Mingyu's controversies and kpop fans' look biases.

Mel. Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Speaking of TREASURE. After the hip-hop unit’s new song “G.O.A.T” on their recent album went viral in Korea during Soccer/Football. Hyunsuk, Haruto and Yoshi were personally invited to perform during the halftime @ the last game of the season. They’ll perform in front of 400k people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpop fans aren't very upfront about it but the illusion of perfect people is why a lot of them are here, especially the straight/bi/pan/whoever-else-likes-men girls. Masculine traits basically just mean the more common traits in men. A lot of them associate common traits in men with real life men, so men who don't have too many masculine traits feel safer/different. Add in the rampant colorism of kpop and a lot of kpop fans will be quicker to make assumptions and associate dirtiness with an idol who is traditionally masculine and tan. It's the same reason why Timothee Chalamet has so many female fans and these fans were convinced he was innocent/soft/harmless for a long time because like all these kpop idols: Skinny, check Pale, check Not traditionally masculine, check Hairless, check Short, check You can even argue his CMBYN movie equates a little to ship fanservice in kpop in helping further separate him from your average straight man Kpop boys are all about selling the image that they're better than other men. Men who don't fit this checklist that many kpop fans think makes an innocent and safe man, are more likely to perceived as a threat or assumed the worst of. Look at how Jungkook got backlash by a lot of his fans just by releasing some songs about consensual s*x because it broke the illusion he had as the sweet innocent kpop boy who has never touched a woman (unrealistic) Most of Mingyu's hate has to be based on his appearance because nobody watches svt videos outside of the fans. People's opinions of him are entirely based off of his photoshoots, which what will be giving "bad vibes" there besides his physical appearance? It's not like you can pick up on something shady he did in a still, posed photo. A lot of people don't even know about his controversies while saying things like this, and for those who do, they're very mild controversies in comparison to a lot of male idols. Yet somehow he gets dragged and branded an incel conservative and male idols are able to move on fine from actually expressing their conservative and offensive views. If he was at least more popular, I'd understand the forced hate since people get more pressed when someone's successful but hes not even that popular. At most you'll see his modelling photos circulate in stan communities but hes able to generate more controversy with an ambiguous red heart or be accused of looking "dirty" than most idols who are way more popular As for Juyeon, I'm not familiar with him. Has he ever had something be twisted into a controversy like Mingyu? If he has, fair. If he hasn't, I would like to see how quick people want jump on him for a vague post. Maybe it's because I wasn't paying attention before but it seems like Mingyu was also left alone until recently. People just seem a lot more eager to jump on him and brand him for something while letting male idols who fit the "harmless" bill get away with much worse. I'd also argue the fact that the majority of people only knowing Mingyu for and associating him with sexualized photoshoots plays a part as to why he's so easy to associate with depravity for people, but I've done enough essays and conspiracies for today This isn't just targeted towards female fans btw, you can find male fans display similar behavior too. I just think more girls are into kpop because of the men feeling harmless/different and have had female friends tell me this themselves. Any ladies here, feel free to tell me I'm wrong though. And agree on how badly female idols are affected by colorism. Think about how some fans think Mimi being tan is disruptive to the groups image and that she "stands out" too much. Once again, the colorism in kpop associating being tan as something bad and in OMG's case, people aren't saying the even quieter part. They think her tan somehow ruins their innocent image because they associate tans negatively. I recall seeing multiple female idols associated with promiscuity because of their tan skin didnt you say you were done with essays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
