Unpopular Opinion because I have never seen this ever expressed by anyone else.
- Nate Pann and Insitz is not representative of the entire South Korean population. Its really like reading the racist comments under Yahoo News and saying that’s what all Americans think. The whole Kpop gossip industry is based on dishonestly mining these two websites for comments and unfairly posting it as “K-netziens say” news and getting hatred towards South Koreans as a whole when many South Koreans don’t even post about K-pop.
- Just because some Korean feminists have very harsh opinions of Korean men and South Korean society does not then give you permission as a non-Korean to use that to be racist to Koreans online under the guise of feminism or being a concerned person. We all know your motivation is less about genuine empathy than doing your 2 minutes of hate against a country you are obsessed with because you watch way too many K-dramas and K-pop.
Please ask yourself if I did the same thing with Iranian or African-Americans, where I cherrpicked some Iranian/African-American women online who have issues with Iranian men or African-American men, is it OK for me to then parrot those same comments? I see a lot of MAGA people saying those same things as a justification on why Koreans and Asians should be deported from America and America be a white only country. Ultimately it doesn’t matter if your racism comes from a progressive or leftist bent its always gonna align you with the far right.
I also think because of a lack of gatekeeping and many english speaking gyopo Koreans bizarrely want to join in on these anti Korean hate trains that we’ve gotten waaay to lax on what is and what isn’t OK to say. STOP IT.
