I'm not into yn fiction. They can't speak my language and I wouldn't want to meet them. Without makeup, they're plain. I'd rather spend my time with a local who shares my interests. Plus I had a boyfriend then so I could have real sex rather than fantasize about kdrama like sex. I'd rather be with a real person.
They're encouraging them to be consumers and that's positive? Oh Becky. I'd rather visit Japan, Thailand, Ethiopia, the UK or the national parks, but if it does it for them. I'm turned off by Korea because it's so xenophobic. Most people are prejudiced against others but they're kkk levels of hate. People justify it as culture but won't give someone in a rural area the same pass.
Kdramasand kpop really selling dreams to these fans
I used to read twilight fanfiction but they were characters and not real people
Omg xD you are so right that you just create some new tags for them and their crazy contents. It's not the good term. We can't even say "very naive" no. At this point, that's called stupidity.
I knew it it will be the end of the world when I saw Jk will have an instagram. I knew the chaos will be there just one second after
Jesus .. poor dog..
I heard that SK is built on toothpicks, where buildings have collapsed on people because of shoddy quick construction. Garbage is just left outside with no public trash cans in sight. Old plumbing so you can't flush anything. Can you imagine how that place must smell. Horrible food and super expensive fruits and vegetables. No one can drive because everyone feels they have the right away..so accidents happen often. The country has serious prostitution, drinking, and smoking issues. And last but not least the majority of people are not friendly and extremely racist. Who wants to be stared, pointed at, and treated like sh!t every time they step outside their door all because they're a foreigner.
The country looks like a wonderland but it's hell for their own citizens. When poc go there it blows my mind. If they won't accept seas, they probably won't accept me. Men are starting to take advantage of naive Western fans. They connect to them online to get pron material for sites and for one night stands. Most men don't look like actors or idols, similar to how most Americans don't look like celebrities.
That's what I don't understand. They admire the Nazis but would've died too. There's always a scandal with Nazi uniforms, antisemitic and racist behavior but international fans think they don't know any better. Most people are average or plain, even idols. A lot of idols look scary with too much plastic surgery. Some of them look beautiful before and afterwards get botched by their companies. I used to think SK had the best plastic surgeons. They seem worse than here.
I think it's stupidity or they're nuts. Did kpop do this to them? Regular people are losing their minds with this stuff.
Hopefully he has a good owner and is being loved by him. Fans can be so weird.
I think you misunderstood my post. I never implied that the U.S. is better. I could write a dissertation about how sh!tty this country is believe me. I will say women arent second class citizens here though. Also, fyi the view point you're talking about concerning color in America is the white man's. This country is the most diverse and not everybody sees someone's race first here. But I digress, the topic I was replying to is about being a poc and visiting SK, which I sure as hell wouldn't. I was basically dispelling that SK is some kind of utopia. You'd be surprised due to b*s and too many kdramas how many foreigners believe this to be true.

My family is Iranian so I know all about different cultures outside of the U.S. lol. And when I said white man's view on color I wasn't talking about you, but how you said "Americans view race" when not all of us are like that. A lot of Americans are very open minded and accepting. Everything I say you seem to misconstrue. Odd..
It's not only in kpop fandom. It's pretty everywhere really. You can switch with Japan/mangas fandom you will find the same crazy themes
Absolutely. Culture is it!Yes this is very true. But I also think the problem with why some people feel like other countries are racist is because they do not understand their culture.
For example in my country people do not greet each other at all because it is a way to show respect for each other's privacy. This can make us seem very cold and unfriendly. If foreigners are not aware that this is a behavior we have towards each other, they may come to believe that we do not like foreigners at all when that is far from the case.
It is the same all over the world. All countries have some customs, traditions and habits that affect how we treat others and not all countries are equally hospitable and I actually think that is okay.
When I went to Spain with my friends to get drunk, we were never treated particularly nicely by the police. Haha they absolutely hated us and they could be prette brutal. But we knew and expected that before we went down there. We did not se it as racism. We knew that we where obnoxious.
