I wrote for @Refinery29 about the ugly side of stan culture, the discouragement towards critical thinking in fear of getting attacked, and more specifically - the cyberterrorism towards Black women in K-pop fandoms.

Rape is one of them hardest crimes to prove. If it isn’t reported immediately, there’s usually no way to prove that it happened unless you get a confession from the rapist. Which is why I hardly believe all these “false accusation” talks. She most likely just had no evidence.
one day we will discuss how the word “maintenance” is a violently misogynistic capitalism invention. maintenance of what? our performed, unreasonably high standard of femininity. beauty treatments that were once luxury are being pushed on women monthly. in an economic crisis.
Yes. And the mental toll of all of it. Of course people lose motivation, they have to work 3x as hard to get their basic needs met *while* society looks down on them for being poor **WHILE ALSO** the entire system is specifically made to keep poor people poor.
a lot of people, especially westerners, especially-especially americans, conflate considering others with being controlled & respond with defiance. it’s very weird behavior.

This saddens me deeply because you can see how hesitant she was because she KNOWS HER BRAND yet this room of men looking at her with $ in their eyes convincing her she should switch up. Hate to see it cause this track ain't it.
Also not to dogpile but since we seem to be taking criticism, having a team of 40 year old men telling you what your music should sound like as a woman in your mid 20s is very likely one of the reasons for the lack of direction
The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.
Everyone is rightfully focused on Black-girl representation, but other POC should be mad too. Why is the Asian “representation” Wasian? Why is the Latin “representation” white-passing? Disney could’ve gotten away with diverse casting if they weren’t scared of ACTUAL BROWN PEOPLE.
C’est du Yves Saint Laurent. Il a gagné et donné un panier de Yves Saint Laurent COMPLET de makeup à sa collègue de travail plutôt qu’à sa femme qui l’attend à la maison avec leur fils. Comment ne pas vouloir tout détruire. Si vous saviez le prix que ça coûte.
