please stop unhiding my "people shouldn't harshly criticize albums while using terrible headphones" thread? i was misunderstood and realized how it could've sounded selfish if you're not getting what i was trying to say & i don't want anymore arguments over it, it's my own thread and i should have the right to hide it anytime i want. it's like getting unhidden for the third time? are y'all this thirsty for drama while i'm beyond tired of it? what's the point?

 

EDIT: the "hide" button got entirely removed too my god. how weird :rip:

we need the dark mode back plz my eyes are bleeding 

No shade but how did y'alls eyes survive this long when most sites didn't have dark mode until recently and many still don't? :suburban:

Not sure if its just me, but the ads on the mobile version are becoming impossible to close and the only way around them is to close the tab and reload the site. 

 

The ads themselves don't bother me, but when they start to impede the experience its annoying. 

Not just you, they have gotten more invasive for sure. Now there's one for me that takes up the entire page and it's difficult to scroll down to hit the close button (located at the bottom of the ad), so that's been sucking.

What happened to the hide feature?

That one user makes their 900th essay about having 2 different ATRL banners and now we don't have dark mode.

 

Same user has a meltdown about not being able to keep their thread hidden and now the hide button is gone.

 

 

Judging by the zero feedback I've received from any reported posts, I feel the need to to highlight once again that this user continues to promote violence and hateful rhetoric, which is only ever endorsed by those who resonate with his vitriolic, unstable, and ill-informed views:

Assuming the protestor that disrupted the Superbowl show with a GAZA/SUDAN sign was Arab when he was Black (thinking Black people shouldn't be part of any other movements against suppressed minorities)

They looked a damn fool trying to co opt someone elses moment and tribute to their culture. Kendrick's folks are 500 years strong in this. That "protestors" own people made a loud statement that supported the side who had them attacking black people in the hopes of priveledge and proxmity to whiteness. Take that energy to Trump and Republican centric events. They never do and instead threw rallies in support of the *****. Scary. 

Once again displaying violent rhetoric, such as "fight your own battle," which actively encourages hostility and division.

On 2/10/2025 at 12:08 PM, Dreajae said:

That he doesn't want his tribute to black American culture and influence co opted during his set. Yall better leave that man alone and protest Trump DIRECTLY instead of depending on Beyonce, Kamala and now Kendrick to ride for someone elses cause. This is after they voted for Trump in droves in Muslim dominated populations, and changed entire group names that rallied for Trump and directly against black people.

 

Fight your own battles.

Here he is blatantly calling the documented ethnic genocide a conspiracy:

On 1/26/2025 at 3:43 PM, Dreajae said:

 

Yall give Trump more credit for expediting the so-called genocide and ethnic cleansing at this point. 

Mocking Latino accents (which is still racist even if they voted Trump- does it make it right to mock how Black's For Trump talk? no because that's still an attack on Black people) funny he mentions how there's no Black Conservative groups when there's just as many as "[insert marginalized community here] For Trump"

On 2/10/2025 at 1:25 PM, Dreajae said:

Black folks didn't throw rallies, start a "Muslims for Trump" group, or sing in a Latino accent "I wheel boat, for Donall Trrrump".

Continuous smug behavior because Dreajae blames Donald Trumps win on Arabs and Latinos:

Well this is for the both parties are the same clique. Some fell for "wanting peace" and "getting a deal done". The deal was always they get to exterminate the remaining Palestinians without any of the previous mitigants  and bans on certain  weaponry. It hasn't even been 60 days BTW. 

For someone to feel this embolden to say these heinous things suggests that their behavior has gone unchecked.

arent you the one who runs around saying that all east asians do blackface and continues to repost differently phrased versions of that claim despite being called out several times?

You're the same dingbat that wants to lecture me on issues I'm already aware of because I happen to post Iggy Azalea content and I've repeatedly said that I am not going to go back and forth with you because I do not care to listen to what a KPOP fanatic has to tell me - a black person - what you just said is an exaggerated and annoying distortion of my refusal to entertain your foolishness, as I already know exactly who I'm dealing with. Maybe if you weren't a KPOP fan I'd maybe listen to you complain about what everyone else in the online internet sphere has had to say about Iggy Azalea. Everything you find offensive about Iggy Azalea also applies to the KPOP you enjoy. I do not care! stop pestering me around that forums to activate some dumb ass 2016 Twitter debate!

It's obvious that you're intentionally being dense and stirring up drama yet again instead of addressing a real concern I raised. Since you crave the spotlight, sit down on my big red chair as I drill a hole through that skull and insert a brain-eating amoeba *audience gasps in awe* as only for it to tragically perish upon realizing there's nothing to feed on.

Also, I don't want to be lectured on social justice / racism from people who enjoy the racists industry that is kpop and east Asian entertainment industry. Begone.

Still no receipts of these allegations of aespa going on tv and doing blackface and saying ooga booga ooga, which considering the severity of the accusations should be immediately ban-worthy btw. Racist garbage user trying to call out others, of course anybody with a brain would speak up :doc:

All those quotes when @SmittenCakeis telling the truth. Dragging him for 'stanning' iggy as a black man when your two ultimate favs have said the n word on national Korean television and the other one has refused every opportunity to perform with successful black artists…

You are attempting to conflate a critical global issue that impacts our future and the planet simply because I refused to entertain your lame debate. Not only attention-seeking, but also down right disturbing and ill. You've harbored this grudge and chose to wedge it into a serious matter I brought up solely as a means to vent. You had multiple KPOP groups in your signature, so I have no idea why you are singling it down to just ONE group. Your concerns do not come from a place of authenticity. If I apparently am okay with Iggy Azalea doing whatever problematic thing she did 12+ years ago you keep bringing up and wanting me to excuse, I can only assume you are very much okay with how your favorite KPOP groups and that industry acts as a whole.

 

But you don't? okay! cool! neither do I!

aespa nor any of its members have said any racial slurs on tv or anywhere else. I am not dragging that user for 'stanning' iggy as a black man, I'm dragging them for being openly racist.

 

You have been banned from the kpop thread for your obsession with me previously and this is at least your second confirmed duplicate ATRL account after being permanently banned here and on every other forum you have joined for your nasty habit of both lying and using serious issues as a weapon for your personal vendettas against every single fan of Girls' Generation.

I have a single kpop group in my signature and it's been that way for at least a year. Before that point(so almost a year before any of this), it also had Red Velvet, IU, Girls' Generation, and SHINee, whom to the best of my knowledge, have not done any of the things you have accused all asian entertainment of widely doing.  If it wasn't a grossly racist sweeping generalization then the aespa blackface receipts should be VERY easy to find and post, their album consistently do ~2m, they're huge celebrities. It would be a massive scandal if it ever happened.

Red Velvet's Wendy imitates Black women...again
Fan yells out "Don't be racist" to Red Velvet Wendy at fan meet in Chicago

 

It took me 2 seconds to find this. Do you want me to investigate your other favorite groups? I also love the disclaimer you added "whom to the best of my knowledge" because racism is so rampant in your favorite genre, you know something is bound it to be found :laugh:

These people appear on TV several times a week for the entire duration of their 7 year contracts, I can't claim to have seen every single appearance. Tripling down on the narrative that all Asians are racist is a choice though. You're only proving me right here.

Your username is a G-dragon album, he has said the n word on a music show, your other fav is taeyeon who has refused to perform with the black eyed peas and wiz kalfia. She has also called alica keys prety for a black woman.

 

You are a hypcorite because you got temp thread banned for personal attacks all because a user said their fav was more succesful than yours. Suddenly a couple weeks later I'm thread banned and you're allowed to post in the K-pop thread again. Imagine that.

 

Also if you call me obsessed with you, but you're brining up forums from a decade ago... You're the one obsessed with me.

This is why I do not take lectures from you people. Would this fall under the category of "verbal blackface" ? 

Anyways, it could take me two more seconds to find whatever hot garbage your favorite KPOP artists have done/said. Thank you for derailing my post which has resulted in this stupid ****.
