kpop stans lack cultural baggage, thus they loathe vulnerability

i came across a picture of jennie backstage wearing what seems to be an original chanel piece or something, which she was getting hate for using on stage because it was too revealing. some of her fans took it as a “middle finger” moment, like she was telling people she can wear what she wants (she can).

but one of the qrt in portuguese said something like “armys dream of jennie crying on live like her faves but she doesn’t care lol” and my point is not to turn this into another bts x blackpink or armys x blinks but to ask: would it be so bad if she did care?

jennie is one of the biggest victims of slutshaming in kpop fandom spaces and you don’t have to like her or blackpink to recognize it, just have common sense. her telling her haters off is as valid as talking about how mad or sad this makes her feel.

she’s still an human being, you know?

see, kpop stans really sees their faves as monkeys that can only sing and dance and whose only glimpse of humanity they can share is knowing a meme. if an idol is actually honest about how something makes them feel they are weak or feeding into their fans’ parasocial relationship.

take what people say about le sserafim. they just want people to feel sorry for them with this documentary, sakura crying over her insecurities is embarrassing, “no one is reading all that” to whatever yunjin writes. just bottle up everything and improve! be productive! keep the machines rolling!

kpop stans don’t open themselves for more than the 5 groups and 3 western singers they know. if they did, then maybe they would know how important it is for an artist to be open about their feelings and maybe they wouldn’t harass the people who go against the perfect idol fantasy.
