Why is it so hard for ifans to realize different culture might be more sensitive to certain things?

You are talking about what? Sorry, to agree or disagree you must give examples.

But in general we should always remind ourselves of how different cultures are.

This is always on my mind and you said it perfectly!!

you need to give proper examples like monalisalove said

I agree i fans sometimes act very ignorant but you gotta admit k netz makes issues out of no issues many times too so there's no point in debating such a broad topic if you don't narrow it down

Yes, we should obviously respect the culture, but does the said "culture" respect humans rights?? That's the question.

you've got a point !

I honestly don't understand how some people can still advocate for certain cultures AND religions when they don't respect basic human rights

I'm not really talking about SK culture right now, they still good in a big picture, but some stuff they claim to be normal (e.g. canceling people for having families) is srsly messed up

Yes, I'm not talking about SK anymore kkk it's about the world. We have different cultures and we should respect it, buuuut when some ridiculous things are used as "it's their culture" b, no! It's against any human rights so we won't tolerate neither play dumb just for a false respect over PREJUDICE!

Another example: Koreans do not take racism or colorism as seriously as in America or European countries from what I've seen. Kpop companies only do something when the fan reaction gets too out of hand (see aespa's Giselle as a recent occurrence of this); otherwise they're completely silent and let the incident pass.

Have you noticed this? Anytime netizens get upset over something the usual ifan response is "they're just making a big deal because they are haters". I understand that it's wrong to criticize people's personal lives, but if it involves the society, who is you to tell them not to be angry?

Koreans are particularly sensitive about childhood bullying and making light of mass casualties. Like haven't you heard of the Sewol disaster or June Struggle? There's historical things Koreans experienced or learned through their elders as painful memories. Your oppas are not above society. Sorry to say it, but it's the truth.

Thanks for trying but getting ifans to have any respect or real knowledge what so ever regarding Korean culture is a doomed mission.

agreed....no culture or religion should ever be put higher than human rights... smh this world

besides culture is a fluid thing, not something sacred nobody can touch but that's a topic for a different discussion

Yes and sorry op, I derailed your thread but as you weren't specific i just thought about sharing my overall opinion over CULTURE. If you tell me the subject later then maybe I'll come again to interact :joy:

isn't this the typical neocon justification for invasion in American politics?

Quote from godkingteshub

Please tell me y'all are comparing idols being criticized to human rights around the world where people are literally being genocided and all other countries pretend it isn't happening

no we are not?? where?

we stopped talking about SK obviously and switched it to the worldwide issues

I said SK is still fine if you look at the big picture so go trough our comments properly before responding jeez

Sorry, i didn't understand what you are saying.

Sorry but the culture is not the point here, it's literally an individual matter and what you see as the "appropiate way" for an idol to act for a natural disaster, big earthquakes aren't even the usual thing on Korea. There are koreans who couldn't care less about someone making a joke about it and ifans who act like the earthquake happened on his town and as if people are emotionless entities that don't do jokes on anything seen as bad.

I see, i thought it was still about idols

nah

Why aren't you quoting me when i was the one to start it, teshub? kkkkkkkk

Quote from godkingteshub

So if Koreas make fun about other Korean's skin tones you think ifans should just stfu about if if they didn't like it?

I don't see the similarity. You are also comparing singing 3 secs of a song with the same name title as a punctual 4.9 earthquake they didn't even knew the magnitude of as a try to make a dumb joke, to colorism.

I don't thing NCT's earthquake scandal is a good example. Cultural appropriation, racism, and colorism are better examples.

I think OP is talking about things like incidents with the rising sun flag. Honestly I think your average citizen (that obviously a kpop fan), much like koreans and americans, will mostly care about things that concern them, it's rarer to find someone without different standards. As an example: how americans care about super bowl and talking about how a big deal it is for artists whereas the rest of the world don't understand because they're more into world cup and go crazy for it.

Oh, oh. Ooooooh. Thanks for doing op job if you are right and now i understand it and i do think you are right...

This is what people aren't understanding, each culture has their own "triggers"

If the triggers imply never making a slight joke about it or be heavily criticized I'm against it, whatever the culture is.
