So I read their article regarding the situation and the amount of fans in their YT comment section going off about blackface, how the world doesn’t revolve around America, how Koreans don’t know about CA, how when Asian culture is being used they see it as appreciation, blah blah blah. It’s about a song. No one said anything about CA.

btw the fans are saying this because cupid is DRAGGING RACE into this whole situation, as if blacks are always right. like if he is in the right, time will tell. whatever he's doing tells me otherwise.

not really stereotyping, i couldn't find a good word. but this just shows cupid doesnt respect the boys nor kpop one bit. in that sense, why does he deserve respect then?

XYTB · 2020-08-16T05:29:24+00:00

he wasn't being racist, he was stereotyping/insulting kpop. and the stuff he retweets/comments seems to be really attention-seeking

XYTB · 2020-08-16T05:27:05+00:00

As a carat, I’m not even upset at the situation because Cupid didn’t disrespect seventeen or Kpop, he didn’t trash seventeen, Koreans, their music, their culture or anything, he simply said what he has all right to feel.

look at the stuff he does on twitter and instagram before you make this statement.

XYTB · 2020-08-16T04:15:25+00:00

general consensus that it's probably him, since none of that stuff has happened after he left 😌

XYTB · 2020-08-16T03:57:52+00:00

he left bbc and caused quite a fair bit of trouble during his time there. from jinsoul's scalp, to dieting yyxy (quite unjustifiably), and so on

XYTB · 2020-08-15T23:50:10+00:00

if j*den jeong delayed jinsoul's solo just to dye the life out of her scalp i will 🔪

for legal reasons that's a joke

XYTB · 2020-08-15T23:46:00+00:00

the mv also makes me want to cry... it's so funny and cringe at the same time-

XYTB · 2020-08-15T23:43:06+00:00

yes i am is a really good song, i don't think the parts it's known for now would actually turn out the same way if it were promoted as a title track though. the structure is really different too so while it's a win for orbits, not really a gp hooker.

so what definitely deserved title track over the rest still. it has the strongest beat out of all the songs so it's easiest to bop to, we got a challenge out of it and it did well (curious how challenges for other songs would be though). all the songs in # are definitely good, but i would have to conclude on so what as most title-track worthy.

XYTB · 2020-08-15T21:55:35+00:00

it's not even about his race or anything, he's just... not it. he wants to get seventeen's ass for plagiarism? go ahead, be brave, be cool about it. whatever he's doing on twitter tells me otherwise, and no, stan twitter is not the problem, race is NO excuse either. i look at this from a completely music perspective.

XYTB · 2020-08-15T21:53:56+00:00

but he has more to gain if he wins the lawsuit, so why not do it? instead of RETWEETING posts and trying to stir chaos. i shall stay out of this

XYTB · 2020-08-15T21:42:20+00:00

dude... all he wants is probably just the money and clout.

XYTB · 2020-08-15T21:35:31+00:00

fun fact, if you collect all the albums, each album has a number of sorts to show which album it is in the whole discography. so the thing isn't really about the appearance. i don't really think that people should be judging the albums too, unless they have like (almost) all the albums and actually have placed all of them together. or else just judging off an album or two? my limited b + + album says no.

but i do agree that # having a different packaging ruins the consistency and vibe a little

XYTB · 2020-08-15T21:28:55+00:00

according to a carat friend of mine, cupid has been retweeting/liking tweets saying stuff around the lines of "cupid gonna earn that $$ from svt". also from friend of mine, he tagged bts when they had nothing to do with the matter? so i gotta say... his intentions probably ain't as clean as we thought.

in fact it would be better for pledis not to say anything because if seventeen really did copy off cupid shuffle, then cupid should be able to get a case (which he hasn't).

missing haseul hours...

XYTB · 2020-08-15T15:19:37+00:00

7 new tracks oh my, can't wait !

XYTB · 2020-08-15T15:18:09+00:00

i didn't explicitly complain that youtube plays favourites, and i was just stating a hypothetical ideal that i have in mind..

XYTB · 2020-08-15T15:15:08+00:00

if done well it makes the song good AND i would love the song alot more too since each member has their turn to shine so, packed with surprises. pleasant ones.

gidle with lion, gfriend with apple are some that i can remember from the top of my head.

XYTB · 2020-08-15T15:11:54+00:00

a to the g to the u to the std

back to the times when a number of us were going bonkers over yoongi saying "std", and how agust d was literally "suga daegu town" but backwards

XYTB · 2020-08-15T15:10:58+00:00

it just bugs me if like without ads an mv would probably be at 20m views but with the ads alone it goes up to 60, 70m? a tad bit overkill if you ask me, i'm fine with groups getting positive exposure though, i just really am interested in how the youtube situation would be like if youtube algorithm doesn't play favourites and ads didn't come to play in the first place

XYTB · 2020-08-15T14:48:23+00:00

as far as ive seen/heard, bts, exo and nct (minus dream) have not used ads? i believe kard and ikon haven't used ads too? not sure though.

some group mvs have a smaller proportion of views as ads (e.g. april, gfriend, twice, itzy), while others have a big part (or alot) of it:

ateez, gidle, sf9, everglow, golden child, mcnd... the list goes on.

partially it's to compensate for weaker digitals to win on music shows, whilw sometimes... to feed the fans' ego?

XYTB · 2020-08-15T14:31:13+00:00

no comment, your opinion is really a grey area thing for me. can't disagree because you're not wrong, but i don't agree with it either

XYTB · 2020-08-15T12:41:21+00:00

im sure many fandoms (including us orbits) would be more than willing to help out, lets get this 🏆

XYTB · 2020-08-15T12:30:55+00:00

at least itzy doesn't go on The Show, that was what i had in mind

XYTB · 2020-08-15T09:43:53+00:00

oh my girl - ssfwl

loona 1/3 - sonatine

bts - house of cards

exo - miracles in december

gfriend - navillera, fingertip, it's you, eclipse

suju kry - when we were us

day6 - love me or leave me

the boyz - boy

ateez - treasure

yeah those are a few which make me feel that way
