International Fans Have Ruined Kpop.

so childish to call people roaches

Gen Z is just backwards as a whole so it's no surprise this new generation of K-pop fans are ruining everything.

Knetz are proud of you

i agree with everything except for the sexualizing stuff. i mean have you looked at second gen stuff? i also feel like its kinda obvious that idols will be and sorta exist to be sexualized?

about the kids though i mean the companies in the first place shouldnt be putting kids in. and even before the companies the parents shouldnt allow that. to me it's kinda like selling them always because they're bound by that contract and both the idol, the parents, and the companies know that the idol with be sexualized.

and also most kpop fans are minors anyways? edits have always been made by kids i feel like so i don't know. i don't really see a problem with kids(meaning under 18) making edits of niki or something lol.

also tellll me with all those stupid sexy dances enhypen is always doing that they're not trying to sexualize niki??? like don't get mad at the fans for taking what enhypen is giving.

but yeah everything else you said major agree. ive never seen those educating idol video calls though. sounds like such an american thing to do lol

It's not only them. I also saw some older people being weird. Especially the few 40+ people who grew up in a time when the hotest boyband was probably Take That or Backstreet Boys when they were teens.

I saw people around that age having odd behaviers like

• I saw a 40+ woman on Discord who's child is like 12-13 and dosn't likes KPop and the woman tried to force her child into it saying since its her kid she can raise her like she wants to and said she likes to blame her kid in public
• Another time I met a woman on Facebook many years back (she was end 30s) who posted a pic of her children's bedroom. She had a bunkbed for 2 sons around 3 and 5 at that time in the pic and put a poster of GD on the walls so that the kid in the lower bed could see it and she claimed apparently her son was wishing for this cause she said he would love GD. However only a year later she found out when her oldest son finally had enough and talked to her, that she was doing things like she wanted and not caring about that her kids actually don't like GD and her son said he was scared of the poster in his room
• Another time I met a woman on a website around middle 30s or so who claimed since having so many kids she tried to re-create EXO ... em ?!?! (She had like 6 kids and said she wants to try to have at least 11 ... and than she said either she forms a soccer team or makes EXO2.0)
• I met a 40+ woman on Discord once many years back who really had a weird way how she talked about ATEEZ. At that time she was 25-26 years older than Jongho and he just 19-20 back than and she said stuff that made me think: Does she even know how many years older she is and that she tells everyone that she had odd thought about Jongho when he was just 18-ish?

I-fans don't have the knetz cancelling power anyway

How often do k-pop idols even apologize to international fans?

Yeah I noticed that with Discord. A server once wanted to almost ban me when I mentioned an advertisment I saw on Twitter since a Japanese boygroup member was in it with Tzuyu and I forgot to mention both names and only when a girl randomly found out what ad I ment some people overreacted like as if they wanted to say I had "the" audacity to forget to name Tzuyu ... yikes

I agree with everything

• ''they try so hard nowadays to promote their "sexuality agenda" and push it on idols. like claiming certain idols are gay or going to fanmeets and wanting said idol to say "transgender rights" or something, knowing that idol dgaf💀''

this has been going on forever

i mean that's bound to happen when you cater to international fans

I agree with one point.

The cultural imperialism of woke Kpop fans is mindboggling. Korea has been its own country for thousands of years, the people have their own history, their own customs, traditions, mores, and codes of behavior. They have ZERO OBLIGATION to accommodate your ideas of what is right and wrong.

There are some universal values that apply to all individuals and societies. Discriminating against, demeaning, and insulting people for the color of their skin or their sexuality is wrong. Everyone should be treated fairly and with basic human decency.

But beyond these fundamental universal rights, it's time we stop assuming that woke Western culture is somehow "superior" to other countries. This narcissistic entitled mentality must end. It's giving exactly the same as when conservative religious folks try to tell others how to dress, how to talk, how to behave, they too blindly believe they are right and everyone else is wrong, no different than what these woke nutjobs are doing on these videocalls.

We can all criticize them as much as we want in forums like this, we can argue about it to our hearts content, but to have the unmitigated gall and entitlement to start lecturing people from another country TO THEIR FACE about how they should conform to our standards is effing mindboggling.
