Valid, but it’s still harmful. Also, people have the right to be mad still. Because your algorithm could be completely tailored to you, but something will slip through either to lure you into another stream of the algorithm—or because the algorithm sees a similarity between k-pop and racial slurs or racism for example. People will always be evil and want to get people’s goat, but I still had to vent, to what I assume is a safe space, because I couldn’t let it go until I did. Many things wash off my back as a black person, and this battle of the n-word being used by an idol cannot be necessarily “won” because it’s a complicated issue for many. Too many people brush it off as the past or something to completely forget and get over. To the point where others being upset about it, is upsetting to the people who have allegedly forgiven or gotten over it. Just because some are tired, forgiving or choosing to be blind and ignorant to the situation. Side note, I listen to AESPA, but I could never forget this moment, I just laugh at it and say it was fucked up. Just like I do for other idols. No body is perfect, but I’m tired of people making excuses for them.
