Culture Appropriation Vs Culture Appreciation

culture appropriation vs culture appreciation

culture appropriation: taking something from a culture that is not theirs and using it disrespectfully or mockingly to some extent.

culture appreciation: taking something from a culture that is not theirs and embracing it without using it in any form of disrespect.

there is a difference. although the line is very thin, and some might confuse the two. instead of cancelling/bashing someone immediately for doing something they genuinely think is cool or beautiful, educate them on the past history of the look.

wearing a hairstyle because they believe it looks cool and they want to embrace a culture that isn’t theirs is not and should not be categorized with blackface or anything as disrespect as that.

2020 is coming & the biggest kpop trend better be everyone minding their own business, appreciating idols, respecting idols' privacy, stanning their own favs and growing the tf up instead of insulting idols/fandoms online because that shit is getting old.

5 years ago

People are so unappreciative these days, it really fucking shows.

The kpop community disgusts me. I absolutely hate how toxic some people make this community. At this point you can’t even say “it’s just a few people.” It’s not, it’s really fucking not. Your words hurt people, fuck the lines “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Words hurt.

Just because your fav has to act like they can’t see all this backlash, and act as if they’re happy with an extra cherry on top, does NOT mean they are. Idols face so many hardships, like ordinary people, because that’s what they are.

They. Are. People.

They are humans.

They have feelings.

They feel hurt, and pain, and happiness, and fear and every other emotion you do.

Because they are human.

How many times does someone have to repeat that until everyone realises.

Idols are not machines.

Idols aren’t immune to your words.

Idols feel pain.

Idols are human.

They’re people with tons of pressure on them, they have no privacy, they get harrassed, they can’t even walk through a fucking airport without being mobbed.

So, stop saying shit to chan, and literally every other idol. Momoland didn’t deserve the shit they got, red velvet didn’t deserve the shit they got, and clearly chan doesn’t deserve it either.

He’s a human.

He made TWO (2) fucking mistakes and everyone’s making it seem like he caused the Third World War.

Chan has owned up to and apologised for his mistakes, what more do you want? He can’t go back in time and erase the mistakes he made.

Of course, I was upset and disappointed when those mistakes happened, but I wasn’t about to turn around, unstan and start hating on the poor fucking guy.

Don’t act high and mighty just because you didn’t make the same mistake as him, because odds are, you’ve fucked up just as bad or even worse, than he did.

That man devotes his time into making us, STAYs, happy.

He goes live every week to talk with us and interact, sing to us, give us advice.

And some of you take him and his actions for granted.

Some of you don’t focus on what he does everyday to make us happy.

Some of you only focus on the shit he did in the past.

And it really shows.

Sulli didn’t deserve to die, Jonghyun didn’t deserve to die and chan doesn’t deserve to die.

No one deserves any of that.

And as much as I hate seungri, (because yknow, he ACTUALLY FUCKED UP) I’m not gonna sit here in my tiny ass bedroom and wish death upon him.

Because I’m better than that.

You’re better than that.

Literally everyone is better than that.

But clearly not.

People Are So Unappreciative These Days, It Really Fucking Shows.

Oh and btw, ITS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD TO FOCUS ON YOUR FAVS LOL, IF YOU DONT LIKE A GROUP THEN DONT PUBLICLY HATE ON THEM.

I'M SO UPSET

I'm so upset about the hate SM's potencial new boy group is receiving via the most toxic social media ever a.k.a. Twitter, so I'm gonna let it all out here. (For those who still haven't heard, apparently a new boy group will be launched with members of different boy bands -SHINee, EXO, NCT (and WayV)-).

To begin with, people should educate themselves before speaking. Let's begin with two facts only:

> SM isn't running out of money so cut the crap.

> This isn't the first group SM has made with different band members, so it's not a "desperate manoeuvre". Go check out their project groups, which happened during the 2nd gen with popular band members like Yunho, Jonghyun, Donghae, Kyuhyun, and even SNSD's Hyoyeon.

If you want another fact, here it comes: this groups is formed by some of the best artists SM has (just imagine all of them dancing on stage, please). So no, it won't flop.

But to be honest, I'm particularly happy about Ten. This may be a booster for his carreer since WayV isn't well promoted. (In my opinion, the rest of the members are already well known and they fucking deserve it). (Also, this comment was definitely a request for SM to promote the chinese group of the century a.k.a. WayV).

I know that not everthing is beautiful so I must admit that something worries me. I don't want this boys to have an even tighter schedule. They need to get some rest eventually and I'm not sure that being apart of another group will leave a nice margin to do so.

Also, there are other things SM should be taking care of like the much needed comebacks from f(x) and SJ-M, clarifying the future of NCT Dream and Zhou Mi, and taking care of their foreign artists a lot more. And I can think of many other things but you guys got me.

That's it. That's my tantrum.

I'M SO UPSET

Please let me know if there's something to add. Also if there's something you'd like to debate we can talk via inbox.

Special request: be respectful.
