Why are we allowed to hype male idol's visuals and not female idol's visuals?

Quote from cherryshiii

If you remember when Nmixx debuted, there were articles about how netizens were praising Sullyoon's visuals. And the comments were like: "Guys we need to focus on her talent" "She has a really good voice" which are understandable comments. That isn't the point I'm making.

On the other hand, whenever an article comes out on a male idol being praised for his visuals. Let's use Jungkook for example. The comments are just people doing the same thing, hyping up his visuals. Not to say Jungkook isn't a visual of course. But whatever happened to praising talent now? Why is the difference so drastic?

is this about the home page, if it is I can answer lol, the main pagers hate BTS a lot, usually won't comment on a bts article unless it's to say something negative about BTS or if it is a negative article about BTS, so saying something like we need to focus on his talent is backtracking their hate for BTS since according to them praising an idol's visual is insulting.

The ones praising Jk are usually the armys on there.

Maybe because her beauty overshadow her talent skills. She’s definitely pretty but she should be praised for being a great dancer and singer.

Also JK isn’t really a great exemple he’s literally praised for being skilled lol

You are addressing the comments from k sites i assume?. you have chosen bad examples bcos i see praises for Jungkook that goes beyond his visuals many many times whereas for visually excelling female idols, it rarely goes beyond that. so i think its fair that female idol fans want their faves to be praised for both their talents and visuals.

What? I thought it was the opposite. Pann always hype gg visual. Idols like Irene, Tzuyu, Jennie, Yuna, Wonyoung, Karina got hype a lot for their visual

I'm failing to see where's the prohibition if you understand why fans try to make female idols known for more than just their visuals then idk why is there any need for discussion

Jungkook is like the worst example you can use for this case...

Also why does your thread sound like you don't want female idols to be known for more than their visuals? Like you want comments to only praise their visuals and nothing else? I don't get it. Is it wrong for fans to want their idol to be recognized for both their talents and beauty...?

this happens with male idols just as much though.

I don't know if I see it... at least, I don't perceive it to be a more female idol issue...

For beautiful female idols it is very hard to get noticed for their talents no matter how talented they are.

I think people are just frustrated over that. Like she can do 100 things but people will only talk about her visuals.

parsing an idol every so often for their visuals is different from only obsessing over their visuals this goes for both male and female
