Personal thoughts. Interested in thought-provoking discussions.

@jannieessss @sungwoniies @pearlytrivia Yeah, I watched the video. The K-pop idols are literally just being polite and stepping aside to let a Black woman pass. What exactly am I supposed to be seeing here? I do the same thing whenever I’m somewhere crowded. If I’m missing something, please let me know.

@Pac0779 @sungwoniies @pearlytrivia Says the person who’s never even lived in Korea lmao.

@Sehalk2005 @TacosTacos55078 @pearlytrivia I’ve heard that in the West, people sometimes kiss even when they’re meeting for the first time? If someone did that to me, I’d call the police immediately.

@Sehalk2005 @TacosTacos55078 @pearlytrivia And since you might be wondering: in East Asia, people don’t touch each other unless they’re really close same-sex friends (it varies from person to person, but generally speaking). And when someone is coming toward you, it’s polite to move out of their way.

[simsim @ydjpq]

@minimonieme @leitecomcanel @celebration6577 @pearlytrivia Of course, I’m not denying that East Asia has a preference for lighter skin. But that has nothing to do with white people or whiteness. If an alien showed up with paper-white skin—whiter than any white person—would you say we’re copying aliens too?

[simsim @ydjpq]

@minimonieme @leitecomcanel @REN_G_Nii @celebration6577 @pearlytrivia It’s honestly so weird how you analyze every part of someone’s body like that. And I guess you don’t even know East Asians can tan pretty easily? I was in the sun for two hours and my legs ended up like this. Apparently you don’t understand lighting either. Ignorant as hell.

@leitecomcanel @minimonieme @celebration6577 @pearlytrivia It’s been known for a long time that those photos were caused by the flashback effect. And I’ve said this a thousand times already: East Asians’ preference for lighter skin has nothing to do with white people or whiteness.

@hoolignyvanill @mainlybtss American pop stars like Taylor Swift aren't nearly as popular in Korea. But that doesn't mean it's okay to shit on her, does it? People just have different tastes depending on their culture. I'd appreciate it if you could show us the same respect.

@kscort1 @Tae1334968 Hey, you’re the ones who started insulting K-pop in the first place. Is making female idols perform half-naked and giving them dance moves that are blatantly suggestive of sex really an improvement for women’s rights?

[simsim @ydjpq]

@facttoon 물론 과하게 공격적인 태도로 반응하는 사람들을 변호할 생각은 전혀 없습니다. 다만 읽는 사람에 따라 여성에게 책임을 전가한다는 느낌을 받을 수는 있을 것 같습니다.

[simsim @ydjpq]

@facttoon 강간 피해자한테 '좀 더 조신하게 입지 그랬냐', 남편이 폭력을 쓰는데 '남자는 아내 하기 나름이야' 등등이요. 이런 부조리한 상황에 지속적으로 노출된 사람은 님의 트윗도 똑같은 맥락에서, 즉 '여자가 팬티라이너를 썼다면 이런 일이 일어나지 않았을 텐데'로 받아들인 겁니다.

[simsim @ydjpq]

@ASH_ASK_X @Haqiqatjou @lilyjayofficial Okay, then. Muslims who insist that women must wear the burqa are oppressing women, right? It significantly restricts their field of vision and can compromise their safety.

[simsim @ydjpq]

@polining3 @nowyeosi 이유야 다양할 수 있는 거 아님? 오히려 모계성 쓰면 눈치주는 사회적 인식을 바꿔나가야 한다고 생각함.(진짜 비혼모 가정 아이가 성씨 때문에 아버지가 없다는 사실을 강제로 공개당할 수도 있잖음?) 그리고 자기 가치관 표현이 아니라 그냥 자기 성이 좋을 수도 있는 거 아님?

[simsim @ydjpq]

@Tae1334968 @kscort1 Hmm, so in another tweet, KATSEYE is being criticized for performing overly sexual songs and dances in front of a young fanbase, but anyway...

[simsim @ydjpq]

@ASH_ASK_X @Haqiqatjou @lilyjayofficial Feminists do argue that the Bible is sexist too. But if there’s a difference between Islam and Christianity, it’s that Christians have at least made efforts to interpret their doctrine in more modern ways, whereas Muslims often cite the Quran to justify the oppression of women.

[simsim @ydjpq]

@dfghrgfedw5qaw @eacelesterubi And there are still women who experience rape or sexual assault but never speak up. I think the fear of being raped is greater than the fear of being falsely accused of rape—just as the fear of being murdered is greater than being falsely called a murderer.

[simsim @ydjpq]

@giseokseu @quarrelpinks Koreans don’t really consider KATSEYE a K-pop group. They see it more as an American group created by a Korean company, since it follows American culture in many ways.

[simsim @ydjpq]

@giseokseu @quarrelpinks K-pop is mainly aimed at people in their teens and twenties, though there are older fans too, since idols are generally around that age. Still, it’s surprising to see the age range go that young, with few adult fans. I don’t think twerking is appropriate when kids are watching.
