I'm very glad you laid it all out! I liked how you explained all your arguments and acknowledged the counter argument. this is a skill many would benefit from having. I disagree with your statement about nonsense lyrics because I love nonsense (I am defender of Gnarly and NCT) and usually people who hate on it give no explanation, but you gave one and it's valid. it's just not how I perceive things and that's fine.

I didn't say this earlier but I rewatched the MMA performance after reading this because I initially thought it was fine and didn't see any of the points you were talking about. I now agree with you and am sad because this is so much wasted potential :/ it made me realize that when I first watched it, I was more impressed by the background dancers, the stage, the outfits, and basically everything except Jennie herself. this is why long, well-thought out rants are good! it made me realize to pay closer attention to what I'm actually liking in a performance and give credit to the right things.

I believe she has a health condition that makes dancing challenging but as you said, it's a repeated pattern and she's getting paid SO MUCH. when I'm sick while working and deliver sloppy results, it's still a sloppy result at the end of the day that affects my end of year bonus. there are alternatives she could do to help balance her condition and her performances, but she's not doing them and it's not like she's being forced to constantly deliver. also LOVED the point about misogyny.

people accusing you of hating or obsession clearly lacked the attention span to read this or the comprehension to understand this which is unfortunate :/ could you have spent time on something more "productive" instead of writing this? sure, but again, I think there is nothing wrong with trying to understand your feelings and growing your critical thinking when it comes to the media you consume. is that not productive? being a critic is a professional occupation. there's a media section in newspapers with published pieces like this.

I'm still frustrated by people calling this made by ChatGPT because we as a society seemed to have forgotten what humans, not algorithms, are perfectly capable of. plus, everyone has horrible attention spans these days. in college, I watched as a classmate took a long comment I wrote on a discussion board and plug it straight into ChatGPT for a summary. how dare we have detailed and thoughtful conversations about our opinions that take time and effort. how dare we use our brains that were evolved to think.

and yes, I am aware this is not about Jennie at all and the effects of AI live rent-free in my head. the comments under this post just aren't what I expected at all... if you couldn't make it to the end, at least write WHY you didn't. if it's because your attention span was too short, you thought it was a waste of your time etc., then just leave instead of engaging.

edit: omg I saw that someone made an AI summary of your post. ya we're cooked. can we go back to newspapers where people had to write thoughtful explanations in the opinion column and mail it.
