saw this on reddit, reblog and tag your favorite kpop boy <3

it’s one thing if a member in a group doesn’t get a lot of lines because they’re not good at singing but the fact that yeo has always had so much potential and yet is paid dust when it comes to line distributions is so frustrating… kpop just hates deep voices

min heejin i fucking hate you

okay so here’s the thing. while i agree that kpop is for people of all ages, i feel like a lot of people miss the accountability part that comes along with it, particularly when it comes to groups with minors in them. there’s nothing wrong with listening to these groups casually. however, if you’re stanning a group with minors and are older than them (especially if you’re more than a couple of years older), it’s important to hold yourself accountable. for example: there’s nothing wrong with someone who’s 30+ listening to a group with minors casually. stanning is slightly different, though - i would say stanning can be okay as long as you’re being an adult about it. like i would genuinely be concerned if i saw someone way too obsessed with collecting albums and photocards for minors that are much, much younger than them. or if a 20+ year old was sexualizing a 14 year old and calling them “hot” and “attractive” - that is a problem. yes, kpop is for all ages, but in an industry that’s unfortunately filled with minors, as an older fan you have the responsibility to not be weird about it. if you can't consume content in a responsible way, then don't stan groups with minors in them. it's as simple as that.

my least favorite thing in the world is when people think that you need to listen to an artist 24/7 and stream everything that they release as soon as it drops in order to be considered a fan. what happened to just enjoying music

anyways that minghao interview with him saying fatphobic shit is just. very upsetting. and while i'm aware that we don't know everything about our favs, and i'm not entirely surprised he has that type of mindset, i really did think that minghao knew better than to say shit like that in an interview of all places. it's so sad to see how rampant fatphobia is in the kpop industry to the point where you see idols being blatantly fatphobic so often you're practically desensitized to it. and minghao has been an idol for years - you really can't defend him by saying his comments are a "cultural" thing when he has an international audience. i just really hope i don't see carats defending his comments. that would be a shitty thing to do.

here’s a silly, lighthearted question for kpopblr because i’m curious - what’s one thing about you that could get your fandom card revoked? for me it’s that i spent way too long as a carat thinking hit is a title track and fear is a bside (when it’s actually the other way around shsjshskddjk)

HELLOOOO THIS IS INSANE

i keep seeing this for other groups but i haven't seen a girl group version so: what's your twice song? mine is feel special <3

caratonce -> solojihyo

i was going to wait but now that it’s confirmed (AUGUST 2023 EVERYONE MARK YOUR CALENDARS), new url!! i’m still a multi blog, this is just temporary for jihyo’s solo debut 💖 please interact if you see this!!

i’m done being vague so i’m just going to say it: @/farascha has been whitewashing consistently, has been told multiple times by several content creators that it’s an issue, and is still doing it. if you want examples i put a few below the cut (please note that a lot of their sets have since been deleted), but i’m done being nice about it since they’ve shown literally no remorse. they have always blamed it on the video - even when there have been other content creators who colored the same scenes properly. and if the videos are difficult to color, just don’t post the gifs. it’s really upsetting, especially as a person of color, to see such a big content creator consistently get away with whitewashing. please please please hold them accountable and stop reblogging their sets just because you’re mutuals with them.

some notes:

romantically/sexually means romantically and/or sexually attracted to someone. if at least one applies to you, then vote accordingly.

you can pick the first few options even if you are attracted to multiple genders. for example, if you're bisexual but tend to have a preference for women, then vote accordingly.

if you're attracted to multiple genders but do not have preferences for a specific gender, then pick other.

if you're on the aspec spectrum but feel attraction on some level, then vote based on what option you feel more strongly about (ex. if you're aromantic and are still attracted to women to some extent, then vote based on how strong you think that attraction is - basically whatever feels right to you).

i tried to be as inclusive as possible, but please be aware that there are only 10 possible options on this poll and therefore i could not include everything. i'm aware that this poll very much adheres to gender binaries, and that identities are ultimately too nuanced for this. i just want to see if there's a correlation between who a person is attracted to and what types of groups they prefer.

i didn’t see this being shared here so i thought i would post it - orbits are doing such a great job already, but here’s a friendly reminder to keep up the boycott so we can continue to see results like this <3

BSS IS HAPPENING GUYS

hiiii so in the last few months i’ve descended into atiny hell, and am a little too obsessed now. with the comeback coming up, i kinda want a separate space for ateez (since i intend on giffing them more), so i decided to make an ateez sideblog, @yosang !! a huge thank you to @lserlver for gifting me the url <33 this blog will still be my multi blog, it’s just that anything ateez related (gifs, reblogs, etc) will go on that blog instead of on here. so yeah, please follow the blog / boost this post if you want to 🫶 tagging some atiny mutuals under the cut!!
