I wonder what it does to your psyche to be forced to fake a personality for years or even decades of your life, starting at an age where you’re still developing your own self image
I’ll be deadass, I’ve waited this long. I will wait several more years if it means we won’t get rushed slop just because execs are dead set on releasing the movie as soon as possible.
Song Jieun literally ruined this group. She had zero plans to promote SKZ as a group, she showed everyone that at the 2024 stake holders meeting. She created a nepotistic division that benefited her and her friends, including hiring stylist who was fired by another agency and in retaliation created a smear campaign so bad for another idol the idol had to sue for defamation. Song Jieun won SOLO awards off of SKZs back while not even posting about awards the group and the (majority of) members themselves were nominated for.
Trucks sent a year ago in December by kstays called out the mismanagement of this group and how it was impacting domestic sales which they need btw. They need a strong domestic fanbase. Every time stays called out her mismanagement we were called akgaes and our concerns were labeled hate.
The concerns THEN are the same concerns NOW
Except a year late and now we need to come to terms with the fact that SKZ as a group will not come out of enlistment as a group, not like they are now. That’s gone. We’re too late to fix it. They were the third biggest kpop group in the world. Song Jieun fucked it up just like she fucked up her last group where she did exactly this.
Kstays tried to fix this a year ago as a last resort bc they saw their fanbase being decimated and knew once SKZ loses their domestic support financers, investors, and agency support follows. So does their negotiating power. Regardless of how great we think our members are, to all of those people the members are simply temporary workers in their company.
I just wish stays had listened to valid criticisms about Song Jieun two years ago, even last year, bc we GOT exactly what our collective effort earned us, nothing. Now it’s too late and SKZ are not coming back as a group to a solid fanbase and negotiating power.
+my childhood best friend was the opposite she didnt have regulated anything like we were 5&her favorite show that she would watch by herself was gilmoregirls which i had no idea of b\c the minute kids shows turned to teen/adult shows my mom changed the channel
Mostly everywhere i went in my family there was a tv always on somewhere either with a show or movie i even had one in my room at 3/4 that i would watch vhs tapes,animal planet,&general kids shows/cartoons on what my mom regulated was computer time+
my radical stance as a TV always on household is that kids don’t control the tv. my parents let us watch a movie or two, or a tv show, but other than that the tv was what they wanted to watch, which was usually the news. knowing that the tv could be boring made it less exciting
+as an only child watching pbs kids,nick jr,&playhouse disney outside of going to preschool was like having friends or siblings for me of course as an undiagnosed ND child the tv eventually became background noise while i played with my toys or colored+
"what's so bad about using gen ai as a tool"
THIS, this is why. if you cant create it without gen ai, you can't create it. simple as that. get off ur phone & actually learn a skill for once. people's peace & safety are at stake. not to mention the harms to clean water & air.
look at these and memorize them. stop rt'ing from people with "goy" or "groyper" in their names. "⚡⚡" is frequently used as a standin for the ss bolts. these people are all over this site and too many of you are wayyy too willing to interact w them
if i said this is a male problem too and not just a structural problem.. like yes the ride is an issue but those 2 boys were told explicitly not to do that and they still did it. this is what “boys will be boys” mentality does. i’m glad they were charged
+dont even get me started on if i was behind these guys trying to get to class&i end up behind the guy with the horse or the couch or fucking coffin&i end up late only to get yelled at by the teacher like its my fault these mf taking up the whole hallway
The most my school(north east US)did was like hat day or school colors day or like pick a year from 50s-80s to dress from,,,where tf are these schools i would have to stay home on this day that hallway traffic would IRRITATE me+
It’s a total legal liability. Mind you, patients sue hospitals all the time so any med facility that allows staff to do TikToks at work is just not serious.
But this is a problem b/c half of MedTok is healthcare staff using patients as content (often mocking them).
my friend who's a queer artist in korea has their exhibition canceled because the gallery director said "what if kids see your art and want to become gay or trans" and this is exactly why it's so so important to have queer people represented in your country visibility is crucial
too many people have eyes on ao3 atp and its gonna make media producers/executives actually start going after fanfic legally 😭 some of y'all forget this is a legal gray area and sometimes is straight up illegal
Downright evil technology. These people are deranged for even thinking of it. It's not good enough to generate realistic video for manipulation and propaganda, they want to do it in real-time to alter the words coming out of people's mouths as they say them. Dystopian.
Fuck AI.
Deadass biggest plot twist of 2026. the CEO of one of the biggest AI companies was cheating on his wife with a Chinese spy, that was relying intel to Chinese AI companies.
You couldn’t write that Script in your wildest dreams.
