  • No kpop group ever had a year as exceptionnal than Aespa

    Quote from Yama-Chan

    Quote me if you have something you'd like to get off your chest. I'm not hard to find. I don't simply "disagree"; the entire premise of the thread is poorly communicated and phrased.

    I mean I don't think it's just one user, though? That's why I was speaking generally. I'm sorry if my post came off as me targeting you and only you. ;(

    Quote from Yama-Chan

    It's not rocket science. If you want to create a praise thread without conflict, then maybe don't directly compare your group to literally every other group EVER in the thread.

    I just don't see it as that big of a deal, it's just a hyperbole. I get why there is pushback, but I think there are definitely better ways users can talk about their disagreements. Or just end up agreeing to disagree after some discussion.

    Quote from Yama-Chan

    Again, not rocket science, so don't sit there trying to act like I'm doing anything but calling out hyperbolic nonsense when I see it.

    I don't know what you think I'm doing other than finding amusement in MULTIPLE users who, in my own personal opinion, are being dramatic with how they choose to respond to a different opinion. Hyperbolic nonsense is just hyperbolic nonsense, I just don't see a point in MULTIPLE users reacting so intensely to it.


    Not everyone is trying to attack you specifically, even though it may feel that way. And even if you don't believe me when I say my post wasn't targeted to only you, I still wasn't trying to be super antagonistic or anything. I just disagree with the approaches MULTIPLE users are taking. Not everything has to be a battle.

  • No kpop group ever had a year as exceptionnal than Aespa

    I agree with the overall sentiment of the thread.

    I just find it funny how people get so pressed and dramatic so easily. Like if you disagree, that's cool, but I personally was way more impressed with AESPA's concepts than I was with NewJeans' stuff. I wasn't the biggest fan of Whiplash, simply because of the song itself, but the concept and marketing was still great.

    NewJeans' stuff was also great and I liked it too, I really wanted to stan them at first. I mean, I don't stan AESPA either, but I still listen to AESPA songs whereas I don't listen to any NewJeans songs. But that's just my personal taste.


    KPop stans see others being hyperbolic and start throwing up

  • Man, the Korean misogynist is in another level

    Quote from selfmate

    look I understand in certain families especially for the less fortunate - where like people are living paycheck to paychek but still have to rely on foods stamps and even food banks and the like but even down under I know of fathers who don't know how to change a diaper and don't know how to use a bottle to feed their kid

    That kind of stuff is malicious ignorance. They just refuse to learn and make tons of excuses why it's "too hard" and repeat that they just don't know how so that they can push it onto their partner to do. Or they'll purposely do things wrong multiple times until their partner caves in and gives up. Sigh.

  • Trump is a racist and misogynist

    Well, I'm an Atheist so... Can't really respond to the Jesus thing since I don't believe he existed to actually say that. And considering the amount of racism this entire world has - I think many (not all) people hate both the sin and the sinners.


    And yes, I agree that US citizens could hate illegal immigration and still be nice to Latinos. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Trump specifically, not the larger American population. Also, Trump is not just trying to end illegal immigration, he also wants to revoke birthright citizenship, which I am STRONGLY against and I personally believe that the desire to revoke such an amendment is rooted in racism and xenophobia. The reason I was speaking generally in my original post is because I don't think Trump is the ONLY person who follows that kind of mindset, but I was mostly responding about Trump.


    People saying they love Latinos - or any other immigrant - yet going out of their way to oppress them is cognitive dissonance. Their words don't match their actions.


    I'm not demanding anything and I do understand nuance. I understand why people are uncomfortable with the amount of illegal immigration. I don't think that anyone is a bad person for not being okay with illegal immigration. But at the same time, Trump trying to get rid of laws such as birthright citizenship is a way to oppress groups like Latinos and uproot their lives because of xenophobia.

    This piece doesn't pertain to Trump or even the United States but the concept remains the same.


    People can still be racist and misogynistic while also interacting, working with, or even LOVING people of color or women. It's cognitive dissonance. People are able to separate, for example, a Latino person they like while still working to oppress Latinos as a whole. "They're one of the good ones", "You're not like them" - these are phrases said to marginalized people by their oppressors when the oppressors approve of their behavior.


    People are able to make exceptions in the midst of the oppression they are perpetrating.

  • Who is the biggest K-Pop group to come out of YG?

    Quote from YamaChwan

    The results would be reversed if I asked a Korean forum


    These results are just i-fan bias at its finest ;judgingpepe:

    People are naturally more likely to respond to the question of "impact" based on where they're from. The vast majority of us haven't ever lived in Korea so any impacts KPop groups make are going to be different. People have spent this thread trying to determine which statistics proves the most impact, but overall I think the concept of it is subjective.


    Big Bang has made a large impact in Korea and internationally. But most of us feel as though Blackpink has made a larger impact because of our international perspective.


    So I suppose my perspective is that BB has made a larger impact domestically while BP has made a larger impact internationally.
