What’s your opinion of people who identify with things they weren’t born with?

Quote from godkingteshub

I heard that Oli identifies as a gay Korean man. Then I saw a lot of stans put him down. But I thought, isn’t that intolerance? There’s many people in the world and not all of them will identify with things we think is “normal”. I never understood the concept of needing to criticize people for what they identify as. If you want to judge then judge Oil’s actions against others, not his identity.

there IS an argument floating around that he does all of this to keep attention and that an easy way to keep attention on him is to do inflammatory things like what he does.

One thing that is aside from his "identity" -- he once claimed that he is an army but once stated confidently that jungkook was leader. Lots of other things like consistently incorrect korean pronunciation despite having a long list of videos that "teach" korean.

tldr some suspect that he is doing the bare minimum to keep him in the limelight but not sinking the effort to actually deliver on what he promises.

( learning korean pronunciation, actually doing the eye surgery to make his eyes actually look asian (there are plenty of examples where other public figures actually went in and came out looking genuinely korean -- oli doesn't look korean at all) learning a bit of BTS choreo and lyrics I guess, etc.)

Except I never did.

So many people today think false hominems are “gotchas”

You're doing it on your own without much effort from others, it's even funnier.

I never thought I'd ever see an Oli London stan, but here we are.

okay he broke a law. But that has nothing to do with his identity

My opinion doesn't matter.

I guess he can be whatever he wants to be.

people can be whatever they want to be...

just as others can choose to accept that or not...

everybody is free to make whatever decisions they want but always remember that one then has to bear the consequences of such actions...

So he has shoddy body of work. But again that shouldn’t be what people use to judge his identity

its just suspicions. nothing is confirmed tbh -- its really hard to prove intention one way or another.

oh

Eh, I say do whatever the fuck you want to do as long as you're not causing life threatening harm to anyone. Do what you want, smoke what you want, be what you want.

But I thought, isn’t that intolerance?

Let's talk about tolerance even when someone crossed the line

It’s their business and choice. These people have a hard enough time as it is without more bigotry and prejudice. My daughter is friends with a trans woman and I’ve met her and she’s lovely. I don’t care what someone was born as.

Hi hi us trans/nb kpop stans do not stan Oli just so you know and this

Comes off like some kind of attempted "joke"

I'm fine with whatever people wanna be as long as its not hurting or harming anyone.

I don't care that Oli London is gay or that he wants to be Korean, or that he got a lot of plastic surgery, I don't care what he identifies as as long as he isn't be an a**...... my problem is that he is an attention seeker and a creep, for marrying a cardboard print out of Jimin from BTS and getting plastic surgery to look like him, and lying about how 'famous' he is. He's said before that people see him and think he's Jimin. The other problem is that he said he's an ARMY but can't get basic things right about BTS, and he wants so badly to be Korean but he has no concept of korea at all and can't speak Korean well, but he acts like he's all that, even correcting a KOREAN person's KOREAN

In short, he can be, say or pretend to be whatever he wants, I don't give a crap.

But he's bad because he is a creep, an attention seeker and a poser

I think trying to make Oli London the same as trans people is insulting. A lot of korean people have shown they are uncomfortable with him, mostly because everything he does, he makes it look like a joke. I don't think it's okay to do what he is doing.

Trans people go through terrible dysphoria being born the wrong gender. Oli is an attention seeker who didn't go through what trans people go through. He can do what he wants, but I don't want anyone comparing him to transgender people.
