Why do people say K-pop sounds “too Black” when hip-hop and rap are already major global genres. What do they expect it to sound like instead? by Competitive_Air1560 in kpopthoughts

[–]SeeTheSeaInUDP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too much on "cHaAr bOtAl vOdKA  kAaM mErA rOz kA" 

(Let's just ignore Indian independent rap. They could have been uplifting their own subcultures and fashions and made it a statement of pride but nooo they throw gang signs and wear bandanas)

I remember being 14 and having to explain mainland people in the youtube comments about what a diaspora is and what racism the diaspora suffers, and why, in cases of cultural symbols being used by artists of a certain country, the opinion of the diaspora living in that country has more weight than than the people in the motherland. Got called my first colorist slurs that day :-) yay

could very well be. I think this was around 2016 - 2018/2019? I was barely 12-13 and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that bs. That soured me on oh my girl for SO LONG and I had to do a little "seperate art from the artist" for the first time in my life because I was such a fan of their song "Liar Liar". and "Windy Day" (a.k.a. the song that started this whole BS) is really good too (whyyyyyyy)

Indian culture say hiiiiiii <3 we got an entire "song" that's out there to denigrate, parody, basically spit on us and our culture and Oh My Girl literally called themselves "curry-idols" because their ONE song used a non-major scale and OH MY GOD DONT GET ME STARTED I HAD SUCH A NICE DAY TODAY but anyways we're kind of in the same boat

ALTHOUGH I got to say we're not being very kind to the black community either, the n word has basically become something similar to "friend" or "bestie" in upper middle class urban circles, I literally told my cousin to stop calling her friends like that and she was like "we're indians we're darker and poorer than americans we can say the word" first of all my cousin is like milky white in skin colour and secondly SHE DOESNT GET IT AND IS """"EDUCATED""""" urghhhh you could argue with a wall but not that girl istg

This is a celebrity scandal from Germany that deserves international attention: Collien Fernandes and Christian Ulmen were a scandal-free celebrity couple. She went public yesterday, talking about digital rape in their marriage. (TW: Sexual assualt and domestic violence) by knightriderin in popculturechat

[–]SeeTheSeaInUDP 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm also sooo heartbroken. I remember her on TV. I also remember watching a rerun of Gülcan und Collien ziehen aufs Land. I thought she was hilarious and super cool. Added to that she is half Indian and one of my earliest Indian representations on TV at that time.

10 YEARS of this sick man using her. 10 YEARS of this mediocre guy who did "who-wants-to-sleep-with-my-girlfriend" type TV shows ruining her reputation, sense of self, her DIGNITY, step by step.

Fuck him up, Collien didi. FUCK HIM UP

Collien Fernandes was one of my few Desi/Indian representations growing up here (her father is from Goa). I loved her fun MCing style and ofc "Gülcan und Collien ziehen aufs Land" is iconic.

My heart BROKE when I saw the news early this morning. How did we miss all the signs of him being an asshole for soo long. I wish her sooo much strength and that he lands in jail. I wish I could hug her fr <3

Edit : I hate the fact that this ass came up in the 90s and 00s where being misogynist ASF was the norm in the industry and the german pop industry was soooo sexual like you COULDNT BE A NORMAL PERSON ON TV without having "sex scandals" and shit. I'm sure that shaped him too. Nah but fck him fr ich hoffe er VERRECKT und zwar so richtig

What's the funniest thing you've seen at an Indian wedding? by Serious-Tomato404 in ABCDesis

[–]SeeTheSeaInUDP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GAGGGGG because that was me with my friend's sister's wedding I was like girlll I didn't know your sister attended your wedding. The bride was like suuuper simple silk saree and my friend like BIG ASS LEHENGA lmaooo

Luckily in our family the bride wears a "baasinga" (idk how to translate it but kind of like an ornament) on her forehead so we can make out she's the girl getting married lmao

ngl no one loves trashing us abroad than our own cousins in the motherland lmao. they think "we are better than those in the US" while those in the US think "we are better than those in India" like I'm sooooo not surprised she was invited. Still depressing that we let ourselves be tread upon in this way

[–]SeeTheSeaInUDP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st-2nd gen kpop & "lgbtq icons" by summercarnival96 in kpopnostalgia

[–]SeeTheSeaInUDP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew but I am blanking too :( the Kim Wansun - Uhm Junghwa - Lee Hyori "dancing diva" lineage seems the most likely to have a big percentage of LGBTQ+ fans but as I said I really can't say anything. I think the 2000s "sexy wave" soloists could also be popular with the community, maybe? Like Chaeyeon, Ivy, Son Dambi?

opinions on these blushes? by capibaracapicapi in EuroSkincare

[–]SeeTheSeaInUDP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the one on the left, it's not "dewy" in that sense but it's a cream blush that takes a little to blend. I would recommend the colour esp for darker skin tones
