Let's not even get into acting normal. Trolling and antagonizing other users is par for the course on ATRL, but at least other people can balance that with a little break or with some fun stanning. 

 

I don't think I've seen a single positive stanning post from you where you're just praising a song/idol/group without shoehorning BLACKPINK or BLINK into it. You can be a hater, whatever. It's ten times less annoying to witness if you didn't pretend to be a victim. If they're making you so miserable, log off lol

In this scenario I came here to discuss Chaeyoung/JYP and was randomly shaded by blinks for getting along with another user Blinks are obsessed with hating before somebody asked what the deal with Blinks is, what’s not clicking. It’s miserable behavior and I’m not logging off when some of you decide to make it into a cesspool. 
 

Again if you have a problem with somebody who regularly calls out toxic behavior, maybe come down on the toxic behaving people and not the one who likes a different kpop group than you.
 

You’re welcome to go through my profile and find any of my posts about my favs on their comeback days. I can’t make those posts either without certain blinks interjecting either though OR without the rest of you calling my favs awful and/or problematic so I guess the issue isn’t me after all. When black pink releases I just don’t give much of my opinion. It’s not hard :rip:

Krystal is actually perfect :psyduck:

This tea. Her and her sister never lose :clap3:

 

OT: Jessica's business is going from strength to strength these days. She truly got the last laugh!

 

 

also controversial take but JYP should boot Bae :coffee2: they need Sullyoon, Haewon and Lily for vocals and Kyujin and Jiwoo for dance and „rap” while Bae is just kinda „there” and she gives me off-vibe 

 

their formations would be prettier too

How much did her brand made in 22?

The wait has been ridiculous, but at least we have somewhat of a confirmation that it's coming in "early May", so teasers have to start in the next 2-3 weeks if that's true.

 

Kind of annoying that they're pushing ahead with another NCT unit before aespa's comeback though. SM has really been doing the girls wrong. :shakeno:

lets go back to success stanning, enough with the dramatics please

 

I just realized, BP sold 5m albums from 5 releases and Jennie with 140k, Rosé with 750k, Lalisa with 850k, Jisoo with 1m

BLACKPINK's overall sales now is 8m albums sold :WAP: 

 

 

watch a certain sheep get trigged by this and cause another 15 pages of nonsense :toofunny3:

No one’s doing it like the Queens’s of Kpop

and when Jennie, Lisa and Rosé next solos sell 1 million too. Ugh the power

The figures aren't really reported, but she did some kind of investor presentation in China last year and it was revealed the brand was making $100,000s per hour on its online launch day there, plus a huge expansion plan to open physical stores across China was announced, so the business seems to be doing great at the moment.

  • Selective outrage for issues that they no longer care about when it's BP - Weaponizing serious issues that harm people to further stan agendas
    • See Mel dragging NewJeans daily for most of a year for being underage and daring to release music that suggests a dating life but then choosing to be left out of a discussion of Stink's underage sister group having company cameras in the shower.
    • See the Blinks in this thread a few pages back bringing up wendy making a face and doing an accent but leaving out their favs being infinitely more guilty of enforcing racist social structures through cheap cultural appropriation and using even more AAVE than Wendy ever has but with a straight face.
    • There's literally countless examples of this. Things like human rights aren't there for winning arguments. 

 

  • The most delusional kpop base of all time
    • Truly believe they aren't just the biggest gen 3 gg, not just the #1 ww kpop group, but the biggest Girl Group alive despite there being no quantitative data to support any of those
    • Pretending their members are talented or in more creative control than the average idol then try to give out lashings based off that false assumption
    • For a short period, they even had beef with BTS army because they legitimately thought their own favs were more popular

 

  • Specifically on ATRL though:
    • They've stalked people onto other websites
    • Coordinated mass reports of posts to try and get people banned
    • One time one of them had post notifications turned on for me and would quote me in every single thread I posted in for a few days because I pointed out that YG constantly uses false dating rumors to prop up Jennie's career.
    • A few of them have abused duplicate accounts to get around posting restrictions but because this thread is less moderated until it goes into ZTP territory or severe personal attacks nothing gets done about it.
    • A more recent example of how pathologically obsessed with non-fans they are is the user who subbed me twice in the past few hours and then quoted you about me

 

  • They're "musicians" that have no musical talent.
    • Rose is the exception(underrated vocals I fear)

 

  • Misogyny permeates every aspect of the group's careers
    • Pick me girl image
    • Solo activities being picked off of who's the prettiest instead of who has the most talent(This is a complete 180 from literally every other YG group, GD is one ugly ass idol and is allowed to be the face of the whole company, for example).
    • YG announcing the group's main intent being to be pretty(because that's all that organization values about women in general) before they were even close to debuting or even had a lineup picked out.
    • Their media presence revolves exclusively around wearing nice clothes and who they're dating(I might get chased into non-kpop threads again for bringing that back up but it's true and still repulsive :snowman:)
    • The whole idea of their girl crush image became nauseating to me once YG was outed as a thinly veiled sex trafficking/prostitution ring.

 

  • There's also an enormous gap in media literacy for a lot of them(not being able to recognize paid promotions, gloating about music reviews from non-music publications, gloating about brand deals that are often local to Asia or even just Korea as a sign of global relevancy, 

 

In general most fans of any pop artist stan for the musical output, but Black Stink has next to no music to speak of and zero potential to improve or grow musically while they're chained to Teddy, so the vast majority decided to stan because they saw enormous stream numbers(that were accomplished through SEA bot farms). This makes Black Pink have a concentration of the worst, most mentally unstable type of stan, which would be the ones who live vicariously through their favs success. For that type of fan, an attack on their fav is an attack on their own self worth, and by extension, any comment that disagrees with their fake #1 GG reality is a personal attack on them because success is all they have to cling to. This also feeds back into the first point because they are compulsively drawn to attack fans of any artist they see as a threat at every possible opportunity for any reason they can think of. Every base for a big name act has those people but Blinks seem to have a much higher proportion.

 

For these reasons, hypocrisy, misogyny, lack of musical or industry understanding, massive gaps in reasoning, and confidently jumping to outlandish conclusions are all markers of Blink logic™.

 

Hope the 900 page essay clears things up. My best friend is a Blink and I liked most of their early music so outside of the stan world where you can't discuss any girl group without being bombarded by hateful morons I really don't care. Sorry to take up an entire page but I wanted to be thorough. :gayorkcat2:

Spilled :clap3:

is this good??? I don't really know anything about fashion :rip:
