some of you kpop youtubers are out here copying my ideas while plagiarizing
complete Wikipedia articles and getting more clout from it, teach me your ways!
hi, welcome! so I made a part one to this video which you should feel free to
check after you're done with this one though, don't mess with my watch time! actually
I'm gonna stop you right there to remind you to subscribe to this channel and
click that bell to be notified, I'm thinking of naming my notification squad
just gang gang cockatoo squad, because why not?
we need- you- why not?! but before we get into my new points, I did want to
reiterate my point about the resting b!tchface
which caused much a controversy because I used Jimin as an example as a male
idol who typically has a resting b!tch face and is seen as mysterious and cool
and I compared it to Jennie's resting b!tch face and she is often seen as a
b!tch and cold. my point in using those idols as an example wasn't to say that
Jimin has never faced any backlash for his resting bitch face, but rather to put
an emphasis on the fact that female idols face a lot more backlash and a lot more
consistent backlash for doing the exact same thing that a male idol would do,
that's a double standard! so it doesn't mean that backlash does not exist at all
for male idols, it just means that the backlash might not be as consistent or
we just might not keep the same energy for both of them and this is very
perfectly showcased in my community tab where I showed this picture of the
thumbnail for part one. people are continuously defending Jimin despite the
fact that I didn't say anything mean about him, and yet in contrast people are
relentlessly trying to convince me with their whole chest that people don't hate
Jennie because of her resting b!tchface but rather because she is actually just
a b!tch. you're proving my own point without even trying, without even
realizing I think that's part of a bigger issue and actually someone in the
comment section explained it so perfectly so I'm going to read that
comment. "we're conditioned not to view a male stoic expression as something
negative but since the standard for females is always to look pleasant and
inviting, anything other than a smile can be perceived as a rude. we're all victims
of this conditioning it is not an insult to Jimin to use him as an example since
he's wearing the exact blank expression as Jennie yet you read it differently
therefore demonstrating the point" and it's a reality that a lot of us face
every day and it is a double standard hence why I presented it in the video.
and no, I didn't copy a Wikipedia article to make my point
some of you kpop youtubers are out here copying my ideas while plagiarizing
complete Wikipedia articles and getting more clout from it, teach me your ways!
but this isn't something that I pulled out of my ass, there are actually studies
that show people will generally dislike a boss behavior from a female while not
really seeing an issue with it if that same exact behavior is exhibited by a
male boss, a lot of you guys in the comments especially from part one are
proving my point. you are bashing Jennie, why? when has she been rude? give me
points in time when she has actually been rude, to which I will refer to you my
video "why people still hate Jennie" which you should check out after this one
because my watch time is down. anyways I digress, that was a long-ass intro now
that that's out of the way we need to talk about fat shaming which is a huge
double standard in kpop. yes male idols do face backlash for weight gain but
male idols also get away with a lot more than female idols can, and much like the
previous point I cleared up, this is very much on the same wavelength. it's not
that male idols aren't criticized, they are, but they're criticized much
differently and they get away with a lot more. any time a female Idol gains weight,
we see news articles about it. anytime a female Idol loses weight, we see news
articles about it. we see very toxic videos emerge that essentially
sensationalized weight fluctuation and unfortunately we often see that it's
female idols who are targeted in these videos while as a society in general we
tend to turn a blind eye when this happens to male idols and I have another
video about body shaming in kpop that you should check out after this one. this
is honestly a topic that needs to be handled with so much sensitivity but
I've seen far too many videos about the subject that are frankly so insensitive,
so triggering and just toxic, it's not okay
to sensationalize weight fluctuation, it is not okay to put someone's
body on a pedestal and say "look this person's body makes me feel personally
uncomfortable so let's express our concern publicly in the hopes that this
person will learn something about themselves that they didn't know already"
and I understand people's needs to pretend like they care about health but
if you actually did, you'd know about weight stigma is a lot more dangerous
and according to NEDA, weight stigma is a discrimination or stereotyping based on
a person's weight and it is actually very dangerous so with our masked quote
unquote "concerns" we are actually just contributing to a society that is so
fixated on weight which just contributes even more to EDS and doesn't actually
help the quote unquote issue that was originally presented and I'm sure we've
all seen these videos pop up on our timeline and they get a lot of views
because people for whatever reason like to watch them I personally have to
click the three dots and say do not recommend videos like this to me because
of my past with EDs, I find it very triggering and you know these
very same youtubers will go ahead and make a video about someone's weight gain
and then in that same breath make a video about body shaming and then in that
same breath say that youtubers like me need to go on a diet, because they
obviously know my life! first of all I could probably bench press you so how
about you learn some manners! I will never stop saying this you cannot
determine someone's health by looking at them and even if you could, since when
was being healthy a prerequisite to treat someone with respect?
And through these personal experiences I've had with certain youtubers, I kind
of get the gist that these people actually don't care about these idols, if
you're genuinely worried about someone, this is not the way to go about it. and
I'm not saying that if you see an idol become very very thin that you're not
allowed to have certain feelings about it, that you're not allowed to feel
concerned.. I'm absolutely not saying that! but there are certain actions that we do
sometimes that actually worsen people's mental states when it comes to things
like EDs and putting such an emphasis on someone's body weight definitely
contributes to that, so if you know someone who you
suspect might be suffering from an ED, I'll leave some resources in the
description box. actually another double standard that we can bring up within
this topic is the fact that we tend to brush it off when male idols explicitly
express dangerous acts that they do in order to
maintain a certain body type ie abs. I expressed concern for a member of
Pentagon when he said he was thirsty and hadn't drank any water in a really long
time in order to look good in his outfit that showed off his abs, and after I said
that I got dm's from people, I got messages from people saying that he was
fine and that I shouldn't worry because he knows his limits. but I mean yeah
obviously the human body has limits you can't go too long without food or water
because you kind of need those things to survive and you shouldn't deny yourself
those things for fashion for aesthetic however it's important to note that this
behavior absolutely warrants concern and it's not based on how he looks. we're not
judging his body and automatically seeing "oh I can tell he hasn't drank for
three days" but he's explicitly told us this. you need water to survive, you need
food to survive but I definitely feel that because EDs tend to be
stereotypically associated with white females, that when it happens to any
other group of people it tends to not be taken as seriously and thusly the
treatments aren't really catered to anyone else which is actually very
problematic within the field of psychology
so the next topic we are going to talk about is the freedom to create music
I've really noticed this trend that when a boy group or not even the entire boy
group, you just need one male in the boy group to have creative freedom to write
some music for people to suddenly respect the entire boy group. but if a
girl group doesn't participate in the production of their music they are less
than, they're not respected as much and this is something that I've noticed a
lot with blackpink. guys, don't forget that I read every single one of my
comments! except for you fat phobic individuals, you guys go into the spam folder
and that folder is getting really big it is concerning me but I digress
I see so many people shit on black pink because they don't write their own songs
so therefore they must not be talented when in reality YG is just probably
really shit crediting their female artists, I'm just saying!
CL didn't really have many writing credits when she was under YG
Entertainment but that didn't mean that she wasn't talented and we have perfect
proof of this because once she left yg we got to see her shine through her
lyrics and this is something that she herself knew she would not be able to do
under yg, as you know she released a bunch of songs and beside the title of
each of those songs she had a date and those dates are very much in line with
when she was under YG Entertainment so why do you think she didn't release
those songs while she was under YG entertainment? but I truly think it's
just a lack in a belief in their abilities I have no doubt that blackpink
could a hundred percent participate in the production of their music *even if they didn't, that's perfectly fine!* and
there's even a lot of rumors that they have in the past but again under YG is
just a little sketchy you know I don't really believe everything yg puts out
there and this is very much an issue within the kpop industry as a whole
because when we see female idols who actually do contribute to production
suddenly they are being accused of trying to steal the spotlight from the
other members and a perfect example of this is Soyeon from G Idle and we all know
that she participates a lot in the production and writing of their music
but yet she is still treated quite differently G Idle is suddenly known as
Soyeon and friends and I've been guilty of saying this as well yet I've rarely
ever seen a boy group have the same nickname for such a reason
it's just so interesting to me how we constantly put down female idols for not
being part of the production of their music and then when they do we are still
mad about it and even if a boy group doesn't write their own songs you never
hear that "they're so untalented they don't participate in the production
of their music" it only is an argument when you use it against the women and I
fucking hate it so the last thing we're gonna talk about is dance copying, ok my
friends! this one really bothers me because I have a very popular dance
series called kpop dance similarities, I'm not gonna say- just who do what you
want with your time after this video just know that I have a lot of content out
there, work really hard for it, I love validation! any time I feature girl
groups in these videos everyone is so quick to say that they're copycats
for example everglow ,everyone is saying and accusing that ever glow or copycats
because they have similar dance moves to other girl groups however literally in
that same breath if we see a boy group copy another boy groups dance moves
then suddenly people will literally go as far as saying "oh my god it's so cool
to see my two ults doing the same dance moves OMG" down to the very hip thrust
you know the hip thrusts are very abundant, but no one says anything about
them because you guys are thirsty as f- I'm not even going to tell you that my
aggression was for comedic value to avoid getting slammed on Twitter because
frankly if you made it this far you definitely helped my watch time so thank you
so that's basically all I have to say thank you so much for
getting to this point and you have suggestions for potentially a part three
then definitely leave it in the comments below also everyone was kind of freaking
out about this light stick so this isn't 2NE2's official account, Davis- Davey- Davis
is 13 created this light stick for us and holy crap is so beautiful if I could
manufacture this light stick I would but like how do you how do you do that with
