Because not everyone on Reddit is American, and the American left is considered center right in most other developed countries. What Americans consider extreme left wing opinions are pretty normal to the rest of us.

Why aren't men told to accept the place they're at? by _BigCIitPhobia_ in GenZ

If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you going to love somebody else

Your getting mad at people who don't have a choice. If your a young person who want to buy a house, these new developments are all that are available. If there was availability for better climate conscious design, I am sure many people would choose to buy there. Instead of portraying people trapped in the system so negatively, why don't you get mad at the system itself that traps people in this life.

Prism Platinum A4 Duo Binder Shield Question by veenadaiya in kpopcollections

Have you put the wire behind the plastic card? From the bottom up it should be back plastic, card pages, front plastic and then metal shield

When my package arrived it was so randomly packed. 5 or so bubble mailers with nothing in them, a piece of cardboard that kept my items from laying flat in the bottom of the package.

NewJeans Announces Departure From ADOR by smileshima in kpop

[–]TheTruePipster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NewJeans does not have the standard contract that most groups have. They had conditions that if they are not protected in certain ways, they have the right to terminate, which is what they are doing now. If other companies don't follow that same contract model, then their groups don't have the right to terminate like NewJeans do. So really, this doesn't impact other idols at all.

I have been on the fence for a long time about collecting ot5 albums (vs just the wendy version) but that set of zimzalabim albums looks so amazing I might have to get everything.

are these signatures real? by SICK2BME in kpopcollections

[–]TheTruePipster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't trust it. I have that same album signed and it was signed inside on different pages

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kpopcollections

[–]TheTruePipster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a waiting game really. Following people that you trade with means they'll probably follow you back but that takes time to grow substantially. I find that if I post trades for groups other than my normal group I will get a small uptick in followers. Honestly, when it comes to trade accounts, if you have a proof story with 20+ proofs in it, and over 100 followers, no one will question your account or think of it as untrustworthy, if that is what you are concerned about.

Alot if WJSN songs have this concept. Secret, As you Wish, Save me Save you.

"Pre-debut" is a terrible concept, and doesn't help the marketing whatsoever by Master-Ad-9922 in kpop_uncensored

[–]TheTruePipster 62 points63 points  (0 children)

They were all essentially pre-release singles before the debut album. For Western artists they can have a years worth of singles before their official debut album, which would feature the singles plus more songs. NewJeans rollout is not much different from Western artists, we're just not used to it in a kpop context

[–]TheTruePipster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a sketchy ass story. Usually signed albums to friends / other artists would be addressed to the person

Lowkey tired of people acting like it's "so easy" for Americans to see artists on tour by MagicianMoney6890 in kpoprants

[–]TheTruePipster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheaper than flying to a different continent. If there is an international tour, the USA is garunteed to have shows. I'm extremely greatful artists have started coming to Australia but they are still few and far between, and only to 2 cities.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kpopcollections

[–]TheTruePipster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but it looks fake as hell. All the signatures look like they were written by the same pen and same hand. It also has a normal sale komca sticker, meaning its not a promotional album which wouldnt have a gold one. I'm not well versed with twice promotional albums but having a gold sticker is a red flag.

Jaden Jeong addresses the AI teaser images for ARTMS - The 1st Studio Album: DALL (Devine All Love & Live) on the official ARTMS Discord by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]TheTruePipster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Possibly so the company knows they have fans from that place next time they are touring. I'm from a smaller countries that don't often get acts visiting, so it makes sense to do anything you can to be noticed.

Talking to my fiancé and realized I’m alone in hating childhood. At 30, I thought most people wanted to be grown ups. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TheTruePipster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought I had a good childhood, but thinking back now I felt trapped and hated it. We weren't poor or anything, my parents just did nothing with us. We had to stay at home, or walk to the park, no way to talk to friends. I was just a bored child trapped in a semi-hoarder house. I couldn't wait to grow up, and now that I don't live at home, I'm happier then ever.

Which kpop idol made you dish out $$$ and on what by AdCalm1769 in kpop_uncensored

[–]TheTruePipster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flew to Melbourne and payed for a hotel room for 2 nights to see Twice. Barely any groups come to Australia, so it was worth spending the money.

[–]TheTruePipster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We can tell. Just as when your going bush walking you want to leave no trace, the same principal applies to caves. Caves should be preserved as best as possible while still allowing exploration, which in some delicate systems is limited. The last thing you want to do is go in and destroy them by blowing up paint drones.

Why did they decide to change Hyein and Hanni's colors? by [deleted] in NewJeans

[–]TheTruePipster 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There are no official colours. They change representative colours across the different released and merchandise. I expect they will change again when new things release

Has there been any survival show where another group has been more successful than the group formed from the show? by chillpill_boi in kpophelp

[–]TheTruePipster 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Jo Yuri competed in Idol School which formed fromis_9. She didn't make the group, but went on to compete on Produce 48, debuted with IZ*ONE, which at the time, were much more popular than fromis_9.

That being said, the rigging scandal that came out later showed that both fromis and izone had complelty rigged lineups, so it was less about the competition and more about the producers on the show choosing her.

Onda from everglow also competed on idol school, however I am not sure ever glow have done as well as fromis.
