Thank you so fucking much for doing this. Seriously.
The Thehun thing has been bothering me for awhile. At first, I was kind of like, okay, this is sort of like friendly ribbing, but then it just got way out of hand. And the more I thought about it, the more I realised that it was really shit of fangirls to be making fun of something that Sehun has no control over. And, just, asdjaa. The whole Thehun thing needs to stop.
And the Kai is a slut thing. FUCKING HELL, THAT MADE ME SO ANGRY. I remember reading that interview and feeling so, so upset, because I have always loved his stage presence, but knowing that he wasn't comfortable with it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. SM has always been dub-con in my mind, and it just made me so sad that Kai wasn't comfortable, because I love his off-stage persona even more. And I can't believe people would call him a slut, forget about calling him a slut to his face, because that is just not something you do, not if you are a decent human being.
And it's so clear that Jongin has worked so hard for this. During the teasers, all I could think about was the fact that him being in so many probably meant that he had to work extra hard, and it's clear that he still does that. I feel like SM put a lot of pressure on him, but he handled it, when so many other people would have buckled, and I admire him so fucking much for that, and just. jsdadjakdas. I could go on and on about how much I respect and admire him.
SUHO. AHJSLDASD. I went to the MBC festival, and a lot of people were so impassive about him, and I wanted to punch them. He is fucking fantastic. His voice is amazing, and he was the most stable in all their live performances, right from the beginning. And I just wish people could see how amazing he is, and appreciate him for it, because it is clear that he has worked so fucking hard to get to where he is, and christ, he deserves every bit of it. His performances are so polished, and yes, maybe his dancing and speaking skills aren't the best, but he's going to fucking improve. EXO have only been around for just under three months. They're still rookies. People need to stop expecting them to be perfect, because they're human too.
And I think that's the biggest problem with this fandom. People forget that they're human too. They aren't just objects for us to follow around and admire. They're fucking people, who have feelings and ambitions. They get hurt when people criticise them. They deserve some time to themselves when they go abroad. Just. Argh.
Wow. I could go on and on about the next few points too, but I'm going to stop because this is already a huge comment. I just want to say thank you again, because this post sums up everything that fandom needs to sort out, asap.
eta: OH YEAH YOU HAVEN'T MENTIONED ONE THING THAT I FEEL NEEDS TO BE POINTED OUT. The whole "Xiumin is fat" thing. (example) I see posts on tumblr about it all the time, and it pisses me off so much because he is not fucking fat. He has chubby cheeks, but that is all. And anyway, who the fuck are we to call him fat? We don't actually fucking know him. Just. Ugh.
I'm glad you liked it! These things really fucking do need to be stated and I think I should start spreading the post around too. At first I wasn't bold enough to but I really do think more people need to see this because fandom's general behavior is not ok.
The lisp thing has never been funny to me and it's only gotten worse. And yes you should not be making of something he can't control. I doubt he likes having it either!
Omg yes Jongin. He works his fucking ass off and then people have the nerve to call him all these names and I'm just wow are you even a person if you can say these things. They're so hurtful and disregard almost everything about him. It's clear off-stage Jongin is the real Jongin and I can't see why anyone would hate him for his on stage persona. And I LOVE his on stage persona. He's so mesmerizing to watch and you can tell he gets a high out of performing and he really enjoys it and he straight up has the most charisma of the group aside from Baekhyun. But I love off-stage Jongin the most because he is the cutest, most endearing, shy, sweet little thing. Jongin hate really grates me.
YES TO EVERYTHING ABOUT JOONMYUN. HOW COULD YOU. He is so amazing and such a strong and resilient person for putting up with all of this shit and everything he's endured for the last 7 years and I can't people actually refuse to doubt his abilities. His voice is so good, his singing is always stable, and he does a passable job at the choreography to where he doesn't look sloppy. Stop criticizing the perfect angel!! DHKFJKS I HATE PEOPLE.
Ugh and yes. These 'fans' forget to realize that EXO are people not fucking objects that they can do whatever they please to. People need to step the fuck and think if they're actions are acceptable or not or if they would enjoy it if the same things happened to them.
And you're welcome! I just got super annoyed with all the shit that's been going on lately and my tlist has too. They actually encouraged me too and I'm glad I went through with because people need to realize this shit is wrong.
And omg what? I hadn't noticed that Xuimin is fat thing at all but wow he is definitely not fat!! Ugh that's definitely going into part 2 omfg.
I think you should; there'll be some butthurt from some fans, but I think the majority of the fandom will appreciate it.
I'm actually really ashamed that I ever found it even slightly amusing. At least I realised that it really was not funny at all, but some people are still doing it, and it's genuinely ridiculous. And I can't believe a fan actually shouted it at him. A lot of the English fans were arguing that he smiled about it, but I was like, "What the fuck else would he have done? He's a rookie idol: he can't stand up for himself quite just yet."
Jongin hate genuinely makes no sense. It's just. I want to shake them because come on, he's so endearing.
JOONMYUN IS BEAUTIFUL. I feel so bad sometimes, because you can look at him and tell that he's starting to feel insecure about his position in the group, and I wish all the suho lovers of the world could just gather and tell him how much we fucking love him, because he is amazing, end of.
I think that might be the biggest problem with EXO. The line between fandom and real life is too thin. People need to remember that yes, while it's perfectly alright to ship people in the group, you don't actually confront the actual group members about it. And you definitely don't get so involved that you start 'ship wars'. There needs to be a clearer divide between fandom and real life, because, at this rate, the fans are going to really hurt the boys. :(
I don't have many k-pop fans on my t-list, but they would agree with everything you've written here.
I think people mean it in a joking way, but from my point of view, it's just like the 'thehun' thing. It's hurtful, so don't do it. /:
ALSO, THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THE M VS K ISSUE. It genuinely makes no sense in my head, because I'm all, 'but they're the same group. they've said so themselves. fucking hell, they've cried tears over it.'
Yeah idc if they get butthurt or dub me a bitch or whatever but I don't really want internet attacks though I'll be laughing at them if they do because really.
One of my friends was exactly the same way too. I pointed it out to her and now she thinks it's really rude and offensive as well. AND OMG JUST BECAUSE HE SMILED DOESN'T MEAN SHIT. There could be lots of hidden emotions behind that smile that fans don't know about. And yes what other choice did he have? These are fans; he can't really tell them to fuck off and die like I would've wanted to.
I can't stand Jongin hate. Like wow you hate an 18 year old boy trying his best. If he says something douchey ok I can understand but nothing he has done warrants hate.
YES EXACTLY. It pains my soul to see poor Joonmyun sad and insecure about his position in the group and his abilities compared to the rest when he's fucking amazing and perfect. I really wish there were some way for me to show my appreciation and love because he needs to what a beautiful person he is. ; w ;
Ugh people just get caught in fandom sometimes that they forget about real life sometimes. It's really sad. And they don't realize what they say and do affects the boys.
I think all of my friends on my tlist, kpop and non would agree with me. Especially all of my older fans. This is not right AS HUMANS.
The K vs M thing has one of the biggest sources of my anger against fandom. Like why even go there they're the same group. And yes Tao is probably crying when realized people are fighting over M vs K!!
THANK YOU. I will gladly accept all those A+s ; w ;
