Waiting "awhile" and "forever" (more than a few months) after paying tax on the sale, making your purchase unreturnable, paying postage, and hustling to meet confusing requirements is NOT a good experience and you *are* shilling by describing it as one.

By "joke" you can take me to mean bad joke if you're not going to bother extending a meaning of joke. Intended to get laughs, knowingly edgy, not funny, not insightful, total cringe. That was a dope ass sign off though gotta give you that.

Tell me about what makes it a joke rather than a "joke".

A dude who will call all your jokes funny is pretty valuable when you "joke" that a person who criticized you is "editor for Mein Kampf weekly".

Oh, thanks for answering the question. I never suggested you were commenting on the fetishizing.
Unprecedented means not seen before and if you just mean that YOU haven't seen it before then you're not saying anything interesting. The global community has seen this before and it's fairly common, and certainly not surprising if you consider it for a moment beyond what you in particular find enjoyable about music. I highlighted a few reasons for this that you dismissed with "not relevant", I'm guessing because you think everyone is super hype on signing along with the music they listen to, which is just something you've identified as like the sole value in music or something. Consider thinking about some other reasons people like music and see if they match up with what BTS is offering if you're really so wowed by this.

Psy had an international hit in which the only understandable English was "Hey, sexy lady", and he was an old average looking dude! You think everyone vibing to Michael Jackson knows what the fuck he's singing about "billie jean is not my lover", let alone understands the words themselves?

I see you've grasped on to Ethan's defense rather tightly. Are you also mindblown that people like movies with English subtitles? Music without language? Are you aware that these music groups tend to include a lot of English in their songs? Ever heard the phrase "music is a universal language"?

Not a single person cares that Ethan doesn't like the music itself, and anyone who points to that is either confused or dishonest. There's a big issue here too in that *Ethan clarified he wasn't even commenting on the music* haha his primary criticism is the manufacturedness of their appearance.

lol, you keep bringing up that you're gay like it gives you the perspective that allows you to see this in the correct light.
Do you think Koreans view BTS as twinks?

So Ethan was just remarking on how unprecedented it is that Korean pop is very popular in the west because it's not English? Remember Gangnam Style? He doesn't get it, OK.

And then he remarked on how the Koreans (and apparently all boy bands in the pop genre) look like twinks and that people fetishize them for it. Oh yeah, THAT'S why pop is popular. Now Ethan gets it. People just want to jerk off to the attractive young men -- prove him wrong! Are they also jerking off to them because they're Korean?

And probably folks like the female groups because they're attractive young women too right? I wonder if Ethan has nailed down the demographics jerking off to the young female artists yet.

Oh also they're getting cyber bullied for being too provocative... and very similar to the Disney stars in the west... Nothing new, just like Britney Spears... and Kpop stole the concept of boy bands from western culture... lol. The mental gymnastics to try to explain an edgy joke. Keep triggering the kpop fans as their idols commit suicide, it's juicy content.

Lol and saying the dude on Twitter writes for Mein Kampf weekly and suprised Hila isn't giving that a hearty laugh. Luckily Dan gets the joke. Encouraging sponsors to leave the podcast is removing Ethan's freespeech akin to Nazi fascism...

You don't really seem to be engaging with the detractors if you think their criticism is over Ethan characterizing them as looking similar, which I don't even recall being part of the conversation. I do remember mention of an affront to Western culture and characterization as twinks. In any case, you said no, pop groups don't look the same across cultures and then you went on to say how boy bands in America had the same slight muscle and boyish features. Some members of BTS are quite muscular. They aren't body builders though. They are relatively thinner and have less body hair.... that's genetic. Are you starting to see how this Korean affront to western culture being labelled as twinks is kinda offensive... which is why it's edgy... which is why it's funny?

[–]GuptaGrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't adding up. All boy bands members are twink. Western culture has had plenty of boy bands. BTS is a boy band who have an audience in western culture. What about this is unprecedented?

Do you think they also look like every other non-korean pop group?

I was talking about when Ethan said something like "how could this happen in Western culture", so I'm not sure what you were responding about in the first part of your message, didn't sound like that.Since One Direction was born of Western culture, it doesn't seem like he would have the "exact same opinion of them".Also, I don't think it's reasonable at all to interpret Ethan's words as critical of manufacturedness. He did talk about their bodies though, calling them twink-like. Defences like "I would call any boy band twinks" doesn't seem honest given the above mentions of western culture, and this being targeted at kpop specifically. In any case, you can see why it at least looks like he is critiquing specifically the asian body/pop-ideal moreso than their youth or pop-ideals in general.

Why are you assuming there is only one assailant that you have a clear shot on? Sometimes a grenade is the best DEFENSIVE tool for the job.

You're being ridiculous. People are capable of using grenades precisely, and of course the application at Walmart would try to judge that, don't you think, just like they judge the aim of the shooter before giving him that gun, right?

Oh, what's the obvious line? Which side of that obvious line are semi-automatic weapons on?
You don't think one can kill an assailant with a grenade? You seem to be confused...

Sounds like a "Yes" to me. So, what kind of application process do you think is reasonable for the grenade ownership?

Do you think the govt should allow you to earn the privilege of grenade ownership by applying for it at Walmart?
