A lot of youthg are "left", it's not a big secret. Kpop are a kind of a youth movment so it's not strange a lot of kpop followers are "left". The "left" is also more likely to accept different cultures and people from other contries. So do you think it's strange that members on a forum with a low average age that talk about music and artist from a foreign contry is "left"?
It's just that demographic of the forum that make it that way.
Yeah I think that's what brought them here for sure.
I know these users pretty well.
At least the ones who were here a year ago, only just got active again. But yeah definitely very far left.
Btw, what is heavy far left views to you? Because IMO i didnt see too much heavy left views in Kpop. I mean, i never saw a communist or a socialist here or twitter. I would say is the opposite, Kpop fans love capitalism.
Now, if what bothers you is must kpop fans are being pro LGTBIQ+ and want to stop the massacre in Palestine? Well, im sure you can find some homophobic and sionists kpop fans too if you look hard. However, i dont know why they listen kpop in the first place. Last time i check there is not much kpop songs about hating homosexuals and support the killing of childrens.
It mainly comes up in the cancel culture stuff.
Like people really tried to cancel that winner member because he cheated on his GF saying that treating women this way is disgusting and etc.
In the west not even most democrats would care.
Right
I'm pretty sure Korea is more of a conservative country. But with time it's starting to shift a bit.. but then I don't really know.
People is not going to change their views. My advice: Dont talk about politics in a KPop forum. Problem resolved
Well that's the thing though.
This forum is extremely political. Everyone brings their heavy far left views into things constantly attacking users and idols just because they don't talk in a way that view as appropriate.
Or because they aren't doing something they want them to do based on political agenda.
Politics is literally shaping people's minds one way or the other. people don't even realised how heavily they are being influenced.
Would you accept a political opinion that what nazis did was somewhat alright. Obviously no.
you can have political debates on trump and obama or on political parties and their ideas. There is no debate on a genocide and killing of 30000 people. If someone have an opinion that what israel is doing is alright then I am sorry thats not a political opinion, thats just him/her being a piece of shit.
and mind you such people would have been the one praising hitler and finding excuses for him if they were born in germany during that era.
I didn't really want to get into this but oh well. Ive been keeping tabs on the war there.
And to counter you. When Hamas killed 1.4k civilians. Not soldiers, women children unarmed men. And kidnapped 200 more.
The clear thing to say is how horrible. But from what I saw a lot were celebrating calling it a liberation. Viewing it positively. If that 1.4k was 14k do you really believe they would stop celebrating ?
And if you try to spin it from Israel perspective are they trying to kill civilans or are they trying to kill Hamas as a self defence as what they have shown they are capable of?
note - I'm not sharing my opinion just saying what could be different perspectives. Everything isn't black and white. I think we can discuss things without having a clear cut opinion and being stubborn.
Anyway let's please end this Gaza dispute as I don't want a Wp or something. And it also isn't any of my business as I'm no Jew or Muslim.
Are you sincerely dense or just pretending? These idols clearly intentionally showed off mermaid logo. They meant to promote the brand, not just drinking it. They cannot flaunt the logo freely without the label's consent to begin with.
Yeah I guess they are posting they are going to starbux because it's a popular brand?
I'm not sure what you're implying? That if was an advertisement? Or her subtle support for Israel?
That just sounds like a reach.
I may be misreading the thread and correct me if I am.
But sounds like he is trying to make you happy so you spend more time together. If you know what I mean.
If someone is out there chanting 'kill Palestine kill Palestine' well that's an obvious sign of a horrible person.
But if someone is remaining neutral to wars and conflicts outside of their interest and just drinking coffee/ eating McDonald's that's not the same thing.
I also think that political opinions one way or the other aren't correct all the time. Like the far left may think this way and the far right may think another way.
You shouldn't be on a side for every single issue just because it's what the rest are saying in your party.
I'm not talking about the war in Gaza just saying in general. I feel like everyone here is just of only the left and far left.
Okay so I haven't been keeping up with K-pop a lot, but I learnt a thing or two about politics. And from what I gather and understand. K-pop fans are extremely left. Not just common democrats but like the type to launch lynching campaigns against someone who misused their pronouns.
Obviously I experienced a lot of attacks from people and always thought well the whole world is very sensitive, but no it's actually just K-pop fans who are.
There's a whole near 50% of America who are very different to you guys. And who don't think certain things about certain topics. Or react certain ways to certain things. Even among the left most are not so extreme as K-pop fans.
It's only K-pop fans cancelling idols for drinking starbux.
It's just that in forums like these we are communicating with 90% far left so it's going to be heavily that way.
Not that it really matters just an observation I realised recently. Didn't quite realise it before.
How are you able to use this username though? Since you had it with your old id, or wait you changed it and so it became available again?
Yeah I remember this username cause of the confusion between this user name and Ves name and ofc ripia always had some or the other Mina pfp. Ofc Ves will be able to say whether it is you or not for real.
I'm assuming because I changed it to ripia that it became available again. Coz it worked haha.
Technically Ripia should also be available but I didn't wanna use that name i prefer slight incognito. The OGs will know me but the rest won't.
And yeah it's me my IP address should be for new Zealand and my writing style is pretty much what it's always been. I think.
Ripia?
Youre the first to notice/bring it up
I believe I became a better person.
More in summer because I excericse more
