Kind of kpop fans that I consider red flags [T/W just in case]

“I hate rap except for Korean rap it’s the greatest.” - it’s giving racism 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

“Koreans think this. Koreans think that.” - Korea isn’t a monolith pipe down 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

“Dressing cute promotes pedophilia ” - stop talking. Immediately 🚩🚩🚩🚩

“Getting irrationally angry or protective that grown men and women who project themselves sexy are…sexualized” - ayo I assure you, your 25 year old grown ass oppar and unnir do not care 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

“Attacking queer shipping but not straight or being selectively outraged over queer fan content” - ayo just say you hate gay people 🚩🚩🚩🚩

Shall I share more stuff I have a lot of thoughts.

Tic what do you think of "all of kpop is horrible, talentless, manifactured and lack quality except for my faves"? does it give you tokenism vibes?

Me trying to figure out if this is about me or our friends from the other side

Quote from Kaikat

the kpop fans who say kpop music is shit

like bitch self-awareness?????

Self awareness is knowing all pop music including kpop is mediocre and still loving it

Quote from chounim

Oh no it definitely doesn't apply to you lol.

I am talking about people who put all of kpop together as if it was all a monolith and then categorise it as low quality trash. And then use the fact they stan a kpop group to try (and fail) to prove that their stance doesn't have xenophobic undertones.

There is a difference between prefering one group and being completely vile toward the rest of kpop all together.

The people who were implying all of kpop was cringe and bad that’s why not accepted in the superior west until it was saved more recently 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Quote from tetetete

i'm not sure about the sexualization part

Some of the threads made on akp especially for female idols read like objectification to me but idk if i'm being unnecessarily sensitive

If they’re not children. You don’t need to save them. Sure something very explicit or pornographic or that Reddit where they share upskirt shots of idols are 🚩🚩🚩 but I mean talking about how sexy someone is, is not cause for concern.

Ppl really treat idols like they’re children.

Quote from tetetete

Tbh i feel like this about 2nd gen :shyy:

Music was bad in the 00s but that’s separate to it being Korean or being accepted

Quote from pinkcerise

some might say being a kpop fan by itself is a red flag

i kid i kid

You know what I ain’t mad I ain’t mad

Quote from ultraaviolet

I will say the 2000s had some strange trends....including music.....and clothes

I'm not sure how I feel about the revitalization of 2000s trends....especially the clothes.....

If low rise jeans comes back I ain’t leaving the house 😌

Quote from ultraaviolet

Quote from chounim

Another red flag is when fans throw misogyny at fangirls of a boygroup just to put the boy group down. check your priorities morons

OMG THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY #1

Quote from nevermindmejin

Since when TicTac asks for permission?

Kekeke well I mean I can’t be cognizant of others feelings.

Sometimes.

Quote from superyeah

"Idols are so much happier outside Korea. They should move out." (or something along those lines) 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Some fans have a superiority complex over Korea and maybe even their idols. At the end of the day, without Korean fans, media, staff, agencies, and companies, idols would not be where they are today.

OMG LOUDER
