I donât understand why people think theyâre gods when they call idols problematic. I seriously donât get the term and why we have to label people by distinguishing their level of social problems.
Korea and western civilization are not one in the same. You cannot force your agenda of what cultural appropriation and social correctness is on a society that is functioning quite well without your interference. I know you think youâre doing âjusticeâ for a group but I highly doubt they care that winwin had braids for one nct comeback.
On the other hand, we shouldnât allow for blatant RACISM. In our western society, that definition has been skewed just a bit but in definition racism is just someone attacking another culture for no reason. Translation: saying black/brown/white/neon people suck is racist, I donât care how problematic YOU think that group is. Itâs racist to label a group of people by how YOU think they should act or by their shared beliefs that you donât agree with.
In conclusion; politely correct idols who are being RACIST, and do not label them as âproblematicâ for stupid instances. Itâs okay to label them as such if theyâre continually being racist. Idols arenât perfect robot people and they live in a society thatâs very different from progressive America. Donât be the ignorant fool who thinks theyâre the hot shit and trash an idol because you think what theyâre doing is wrong when really it isnât (unless it is of course).
In conclusion donât be a SJW for the kpop industry, Iâm sure that any idol who has been labeled as problematic or has been bashed for something, theyâre sorry. Whether theyâve apologized publicly or not.
