Homophobia: An unreasoning fear or antipathy of homosexuals or homosexuality.Racism: A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that that a particular racial group is inferior to others.
Sexism: Discrimination or devaluation based on a persons sex or gender, as in restricted job opportunities, especially such discrimination against women.
Why did I give you these words and their definitions?
Because people usually don't know what they mean before accusing someone of it, when that's not the case.
People blow about everything out of proportion most of the time. Like good Lord, find something productive to do. People making jokes on the color of your jokes is not racism. I've had people make jokes on my skin type before, and I'm a teenager. I'm pretty sure adults can handle it. If it proceeds to bullying, then you can proceed to smack them. But I'm pretty sure a joke isn't saying that your race is inferior to the person talking to you.
We even made up a word for it, colorism or something? It's not even in the dictionary and colorist means something completely different. Suck it up. Don't get offended for someone when they aren't even offended.
Now we go onto to homophobia, which it seems most K-Poppers know nothing about! Let's look back at the official definition shall we?
"An unreasoning fear or antipathy towards homosexuals."
How many K-Pop idols can you name that have actively discriminated against LGBT? And don't say " well he/she said this which MAY be homophobic-" Nope, not allowing. You have to be sure they are homophobic. Can't name many right? Because most K-Pop idols don't even talk about it. So we never know if they agree or disagree.
Did you know the younger generation of Koreans support LGBT? 77% I believe. It's more likely for them to be fine with it than to not be. So what I don't get is why K-Poppers want to label K-Pop homophobic so quickly. Super Junior, Exo, any group really. Even Shinee, which I find ridiculous since one of the members has actually spoke out that he supports LGBT.
But no, SM just did that for attention, and told him to say that. It's just a lie! Really? I'm guessing you don't know any homophobic people then. They would never say LGBT is ok even if someone payed them to. Jonghyun did that by his own will, because SM doesn't control his Social Media, which is where he did it on. SM has no right to tell him what his morals are, so please go fuck yourself over there.
Sexism I find the most funny. Because people accuse K-Pop idols to be sexist and that they "slut-shame", when they themselves are the actual sexists.
Let's talk about the double standard shall we? Women can't be sexy without being called a slut but guys can take their shirts off and now it's fine. Don't worry though, we can still turn that the other way because if I don't prefer the sexy concept from girls, I'm still sexist.
Look, I'm straight, so if you give me the choice between a guys abs or a girls breasts, I'm taking the abs. Why? Because I'm attracted to it. And I know people who would pick the girl, that's fine too! I'm not saying sexy concepts on girls are bad, I just don't prefer them. But that doesn't mean you can call someone a slut for being sexy. That's where you start being a fucking moron. Because some female idols are sexy as fuck. Hyuna just oozes sexiness, it makes me jealous. That's not a slut though.
Point of this rant. Don't accuse someone of being something when you don't even know what it is. Racism, Homophobia, and Sexism are more serious problems than you think they are, don't overuse them, and be careful when you call someone one of these. You could be wrong. Don't use these words so freely, they are powerful words that shouldn't be used carelessly.
Don't be a douchebag, do research on them, before calling them out. If someone is being any of these things for sure, call them out on it. That's all for this chapter.
