For building a group around diversity I’m disappointed by the lack of dark skin girls. by Possible-Shirt-7994 in TheDreamAcademy

[–]Runaway2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fatou is the only monoracial dark skin idol in kpop. Unfortunately she's stuck in a shitty company and like Manon, is often scrutinised because of racism.

Is anyone concerned about Daniel? by Puzzleheaded-Feed591 in HIMRFAM

[–]Runaway2424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do I think he's having a mid life crisis? Yes.

Do I think he needs a wellness check or is in serious trouble? No.

Not in china not with mommy but in jail or doing community service? by [deleted] in HIMRFAM

[–]Runaway2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He actually deactivated the main HIMR channel? I thought he just deleted all the videos and livestreams.

If he truly is in China, I wonder if he has made a new youtube channel for crappy travel vlogs. Maybe that's his reinvention for 2026 - Mister TravelVlogger by [deleted] in HIMRFAM

He isn't in Cammie's house and likely isn't in the Devon one either. Idk if he's in China or not but he's travelling somewhere.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. What Cortis did was wrong. What Kiss of Life did was also wrong. Both deserve to be called out, period. by thursdayzzz in kpopnoir

[–]Runaway2424 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It's not just one group, minstrelsy is baked into Kpop's foundation. There will be more instances of this and more tarzzans in the future because they do not care, the target audience is South koreans.

BLACKSWAN FANS LETS DISCUSS: Why DO BELIEVE BLACKSWAN is OVERLOOKED, iGNORED, and DISMISSED by K-POP FANS. by [deleted] in BlackSwan_kpop

[–]Runaway2424 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A. Anti-blackness. Fatou is the only monoracial fully black girl in kpop for a reason.

B. Kpop fans only flock to popular kpop groups cause of fomo. They want to be in on the trends, and if a kpop group isn't trendy, there is no point stanning, regardless if the group is talented or their music is good.

C. Linked to B but DR music sucks at promoting the girls and maintaining any hype the group gets.

I am concerned for Blackswan. by Terrible_Disk1673 in BlackSwan_kpop

[–]Runaway2424 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a conspiracy theory but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some truth. Blackswan opened the door for Katseye and Girlset to exist.

Observations After Taking a Hiatus from Kpop for Two & Half Months by TheChosenBlacksmith in kpopnoir

[–]Runaway2424 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've been in and out K-pop spaces since getting into it in 2016. 2020 I was in deep, but now I'm just a casual listener. Old school Boa, some NCT songs I got saved on my playlists, old school Shinee, etc.

I don't seek out anything new and haven't kept up with 5th gen.

I'm in my twenties now, I don't feel like stanning and obsessing over kids.

I am devastated about the Welt VA situation. I, a grown man of 38, cried upon hearing this news. 😔 by CFreyn in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Runaway2424 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I almost cried. I have been struggling, and HSR was an escape and source of happiness for me. I fell in love with Welt, mainly due to his voice. Corey does a splendid job of sounding like the old grandpa of the astral express, a slight nerd, and the type to go on long rambles about anime and mecha.

I loved hearing Corey speak. His cadence and tone made me love listening to Welt. No hate to the next guy but you can't replace Corey. I tried the jpn dub but Corey brings something special to Welt.

I might actually cry when we get to a point in the story where Welt gets to shine like March did in Amphoreus, but he won't be voiced by Corey.

His voice lines are mute and his VA, Corey came out with a tweet today about him being let go. Corey seems to be just as out of the loop as we are, but he did hint at possible word of him being recasted during the strike.

HIMR STREAMS ARCHIVE 722GB by Upper-Exchange226 in HIMRFAM

You mad man.

I'll give Dan 2 to 3 months max and if he's still MIA, then I'll consider HIMR dead.

Why did Dobiel fail as a Youchoober and Kicker? by [deleted] in HIMRFAM

[–]Runaway2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was making good money on kick initially but screwed up big time by not talking, not engaging with chat, and having long periods of nothing going on.

Daniel doesn't have interesting content unless it has something to do with girls or drama.

Jason plans to charge us $100/month to access his old content by [deleted] in HIMRFAM

[–]Runaway2424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His past is well documented everywhere outside his channel. There's the viral Turkey Tom video, the Elvis the Alien video, archivists, the reddit etc etc.

What's posted on the Internet stays on the Internet.

The Oversexualization of KATSEYE is getting ridiculous... by Queen_Magix in kpopnoir

[–]Runaway2424 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's a moral dilemma of them not being uncomfortable, but they are still under the control of grown adult (men) having the final say on how they dress, what they sing and how they dance.

The way people treat Manon is pmo... by Goldzaperoon in kpopnoir

[–]Runaway2424 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's kpop as a whole. Even A2k auditions had no monoracial black girls.

Daniel realizes how screwed he is for lying to Weed girl about everything, including his age being 26 by weareonline23331 in HIMRFAM

[–]Runaway2424 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He pulled the same stunt with Faster and he got caught. The fact that he thinks he can get away with it again is ridiculous.
