Fans and Haters Need to Back Up!!
Woah! Guys, woah! I just caught up with the news about Ravi and the photo he uploaded. I log onto Twitter and come across a storm centring around the rapper.
Yeah! Take a good long look at this photo. Tell me. What’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you instantly thought “another dig at N’s skin,” then folks, we have a problem. I don’t write up posts like these unless the issue is really serious and have gotten out of hand. To which I guess you all know that is another issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Here we go!
Today, sometime before Ravi uploaded that wonderful birthday video, he uploaded this with the caption:
그림-#N https://www.instagram.com/p/BMl1musDtbv/
If you can’t understand it, this roughly translates to, “Wanted to eat eggs but why did N’s 6 eggs come?” And just like Ravi always does, he credits people. He credited N. That should instantly let you all know that N, Cha Hakyeon, doodled on Ravi’s diet eggs. For some reason, a great number of people including Kfans misunderstood the message and believed RAVI doodled on the eggs and compared them to N’s skin. How?
First of all, as soon as I finally saw this photo and the backlash it got, I was confused. I honestly thought, “But isn’t each doodle an emoji that represent each member? How does this colorist joke make any sense?” Then I realized half of the fandom misunderstood him. *facepalm* If you all don’t know, VIXX have been assigned with emojis that relate closest to them. Starting from the bottom right it’s, N + Leo, Ravi + Ken, Hongbin +Hyuk. Come on! The great number of fans who know this should have recognized them instantly. Ravi was not making colorist remarks about N. N was not making fun of his own skin tone. The leader of VIXX doodled each member on the eggs and Ravi took a photo of them to show to his fans how funny or cute they were. What was the response? Here are a few examples:
Ugly? Untalented? Say goodbye to the mixtape, DamnRa, Chained Up, Hot Enough, Beautiful Liar, Love Me Do, etc…
When did Ravi ever say this? I need the receipts, please.
And now N’s stage name stands for the offensive word used against black people. This comment took the cake. Pretty sad that a Starlight (in the middle of that thread) even thought this was possible for Ravi to say when his greatest idols are black(Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, etc…). Do you see how one message can be interpreted in many ways because people misunderstand or simply can’t read?
Thankfully, there are some fans who understood and are just confused and upset as I am.
I’m sure there are many more of you out there who understood, so please kindly get the message across (share this on Twitter/Instagram if you want) if you can because this is ridiculous. Ravi does not deserve this.
Poor Ravi ended up deleting the photo because of a misunderstanding (not because he was covering up from saying the “n-word” O.o) and is receiving so many needless insults and death threats from both Intl and Korean fans. All because people assumed he was making fun of N. As soon as people saw the eggs which are black, they immediately thought this must have been about N. I sincerely believe the fandom owes Ravi an apology. We messed up big time.
Yes. I am the same person who wrote > this < a while back. I don’t want to be disappointed with this fandom but I am right now. I truly am. Sigh… :(
Probably gonna get backlash myself for speaking out but I had to. Ravi doesn’t deserve to be slandered like this. Not when he didn’t do anything wrong here.
