we need to have a conversation of how international (mostly white) kpop stan speak about misogyny in korea
This discussion started on twitter but I bringing it into here cuz it’s a general issue anyways.
As for context everything started off, cuz some acc reposted a video of a white lady feeling deception of the looks of the average Korean men, after going to korea to find a boyfriend (weird af) so then she decided to film random men on the street while calling them ugly on a vide for a ig reel (of course it was uploaded on there)
So another acc decided to quote that twt and rightfully called out the woman on the video for being a creep, racist and basically doing sex tourism (I don’t agree that what she did was sex tourism, but it still creep behavior) and OHHHH brother international kpop stans started spiraling saying "how could you defend ugly devil 👿 Korean men" and some of them even started saying something along the lines of fetishizing poc men it’s ok (welcome back 1930 racist circa).
Some of the people spiraling are defending this by saying "but Korean women are laughing in the quotes" yeah key point >korean women< these men are they people they’re the ones who are actually affected by whatever issue goes on korea, you are 19yo middle class living in Brooklyn which It’s unfazed of any of this, it’s not the same at all.
The pic that I attached summarize how I feel about this, like this type of attitude really shows how performative kpop Stans act towards misogyny in korea. If you’re gonna be ManHaterFetishizer2700 at least stick to the bit and don’t around to rt a zb1 member cute moment after saying “aah Korean MALES need to be humiliated every day yuppie 😈" (saying this as someone who likes bgs btw).
Anyways please learn to care about issues with a nuanced point of views please if you don’t you ended up saying weird things.
