what are your thoughts about Mino with dreads??
aaaaaahhhhhh I was like please my son nooooo. It’s ruined my whole day. I’m still a fan of Mino (I mean he is my ultimate bias so I’m kinda devoted to him..) but I am not a fan of cultural appropriation and this is a major let down. I feel like writing him a strongly worded letter. I feel like a disappointed mother, I love my kid unconditionally but he did wrong. I mean we all fuck up and it would be self righteous of me to say that I’ve never said/ done anything problematic. I’m not sure how informed he is on the topic of appropriation but I wish someone would educate him because Mino is a good person who I think would be understanding if he was just more informed. Right now I’m actually more angry at the fandom’s way of handling it on twitter like calling the hairstyle itself “ratchet” is racist and I don’t understand why there was that fight between Mino and Seunghoon stans because we are all on the same team. I don’t want to become divided. I’m also upset because I want Mino as far away from that hellish show as possible like unless he is doing a performance with Gunhee I want him out of there. Whatever I still love Mino it’s just that he’s a problematic fave and I have to reconcile with that. It’s important to acknowledge problematic behavior when you see it, just because someone is your fave that does not mean you become an apologist and excuse everything they do. I’ll leave off by saying I love Winner and I love Inner Circle but we can do better.
I have a lot of homework I’m working on right now, normally I would love to discuss the topic in further detail or help someone who doesn’t understand culture appropriation to understand it but I don’t have time and I need to focus since I have finals and a 45 minute presentation to prepare for so if anyone sends me questions I might take a while to respond. Thanks for asking for my input
