you know, I always saw to some extent the degree to which the kpop industry stole or “reheated the nachos” of black artists, I mean tinashe is a prime example, but this video really puts the nail in the coffin 😭

like mike was rlly the blueprint

as someone who loved kpop a lot, they absolutely did. we still see it even more nowadays, that’s why i always try to tell people that photocards come from motown. honestly damn near everything that people love about k-pop comes from motown 😭 — 💌 tay ۵

​i’ve actually gone on a lengthy rant about black culture and the influence it has on k-pop and why k-pop will never give black americans their flowers.

[swagpupppy]

the fact that michael jackson and motown is the blueprint of kpop

[pinayelf]

white europeans calling race an "american construct" when their ancestors invented it to justify chattel slavery always makes me feel insane

Fandoms will ship two het men who simply breathe next to each other but god forbid a Black woman has a relationship with or even just chemistry with the popular male lead. And this happens in EVERY fandom (see tags for examples) with a prominent Black female character. They were even vehemently against Miles Morales and the Black spider girl (Margo).

It’s just very telling that certain people are suddenly “platonic love/besties/sibling energy only otherwise the show is ruined!!” when the fem character is Black.

It’s ok to not ship characters, but the overwhelming backlash to these specific ones has been so ridiculous and very obviously racially motivated. There are articles now discussing whether harmless shipping of two fictional adult characters is acceptable, and on the cover of them is typically an interracial pairing involving a Black woman…

TIME magazine wrote a story on whether fans should ship Syd and Carmy and it didn't mention race, or the history of racism when fans ship a Black character with a "fan favorite." Not just the fem character either --- with the Star Wars sequel trilogy the extreme reaction to the very idea of Finn and Rey as a romantic couple literally, not being histrionic, destroyed the trilogy.

How someone can write about the state of The Bear S2 fandom and not mention Michonne and Rick from The Walking Dead is beyond me. Fans spent years calling their shippers delusional (even though the buildup was *right there* all along) and they were right, it went canon. How could they not mention ANY of the history of fandom hatred of ships with Black people, especially if a fan fave white character is involved?

They're dancing around it as if all of this is fresh commentary that hasn't been said a million times before as an excuse to delegitimize the very idea that these ships are valid. The Reddit sub is probably a step away from forbidding it because every Syd/Carmy comment leads to long irate rant posts about how they have no chemistry, are like brother and sister, and other greatest hits of fandom racism.

the bear deserves their own decline into irrelevancy for accidentally stumbling upon and then refusing to explore whatsoever a dynamic that has by far the most interesting and inarguable organic chemistry in certainly its own show but also on any workplace drama that began airing this decade

how do you cheat on megan the stallion…

[tojisteddy]

Megan cooked for that man’s family, spent holidays with him, brought his favorite artists out for his birthday, bought a house with the man, expensive gifts, had him in such good graces with female fans bases—

JUST TO CHEAT. NOW KLAY THOMPSON IS PUBLIC ENEMY #1

[emi1y]
