lol this fandom really is something else. I've never seen a fandom be so... like this.
I'm sad that fandom seems to just kind of buy into the universe of imagery of kpop without irony. I mean, kpop is indeed *built* on visceral imagery (without violent connotations lol, I just mean that it's REALLY IMMEDIATE) and it works hard to cover up its darker waters, but there can be a lot of substance there. And substantial PEOPLE. omg it's so much better to read about actual PEOPLE, not badly defined images. c'monnnn fandom let's do thisssss ;~;
You have to adjust out of necessity otherwise you would literally have nothing to read. It's not necessarily a bad thing, I like that I can appreciate different types of fic now (like the super huge genre of NEVER FINISHED ANON MEME DRABBLE WIPS ;~;), but it can get frustrating as fuck. rrrr always so many thoughts about kpop lol :(
