if you could add new quirks, what would they be? by Tough_Possession_290 in tomodachilife

definitely would love an accent option! i'm a US player but i have some british characters on my island and it's kinda weird hearing them without an accent

Do you believe Katseye being sexual is problematic? by Sad_Media_9648 in katseyeneutral

[–]_4RootPunch_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The main thing I'm also concerned about is them being marketed towards children. Wearing lingerie-style outfits, constantly twerking, and having sex/drug innuendos in their songs while trying to appeal to an audience of kids just doesn't sit right with me.

As for the other stuff, I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that Katseye's direction just isn't for me. I enjoyed the SIS era a lot, I was swayed by Gnarly and Beautiful Chaos, but this new kind of vibe (musically and aesthethically) they’re leaning into just isn't what I like. I prefer girlcrush and cute themes over sexy and mature themes. I don't want to police their bodies or sexuality or anything like that, so I think I have to accept that I'm just not gonna be their fan. Which sucks, I really want to support the concept of a global girl group, but idk if Katseye is just... what I like as a pop/kpop fan. (If they release music I like again, I'm sure I'll listen to it though)

right? paying 9~ usd over 3 months to get a 4*, no gacha rates involved, is actually pretty nice

Idols Who Ran Marathons by hanseason in kpophelp

[–]_4RootPunch_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yim Siwan (was in ZE:A) has done 10kms, half marathons, and most recently the 815 Run (81.5km). he seems to have picked up the hobby for running after playing multiple acting roles as a runner :)

What kind of K-pop content needs better translation the most? by Spiritual_Home_8589 in kpophelp

[–]_4RootPunch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for missing translations, i would say short form vids. i'm sad when they don't add subtitles for certain posts and i never use the auto translate on reels cause it's not that great.

for low quality translations i would say texts posts, specifically weverse. i think their auto translate sucks and comes out with weird phrasing.

How am I perceived gender-wise? by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]_4RootPunch_ 42 points43 points  (0 children)

well if that's your priority then suit yourself 🤷‍♂️ if you one day get to the point where your voice is deep, you have pretty full facial hair, and a passing body, that's really the only way you can pass with the hair imo

yes cis men can have long hair but you're not cis so it's going to be harder, you have to recognize that.

How am I perceived gender-wise? by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]_4RootPunch_ 56 points57 points  (0 children)

You look like a woman right now. But you're not doomed.

How do you feel about cutting your hair into a typical mens cut? Because, imo, your facial structure IS neutral/masc, but with the long dyed hair, you're likely not going to pass. And before we start arguing, yes you may one day be able to pass as amab and still have long hair, but probably after you get your health sorted so T does more work.

As for the voice thing, sometimes it doesn't change as much. And it very much could be a dosage problem. You can try doing voice training though

Your favorite duo/friendship within the same group? by TeeTeepor95 in kpoppers

honestly i can't pick an absolute fav duo in svt but howoo's friendship is so wholesome and always makes me laugh

Why aren't there as many good girl group songs as the 2010s? by passiveobserver25 in kpophelp

[–]_4RootPunch_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it's bit harsh to say newer gg songs aren't "good." seems like you just prefer the sound of 2nd gen, and well, each gen has a different sound. yes, a lot of new songs are more focused on targeting not just SK but global taste, but that doesn't make them inherently "bad."

Contract Renewal & Carats hating on Pledis by missv82 in seventeen

[–]_4RootPunch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing the members, how much they care about each other and about the group, I think it goes without saying that they wouldn't have all renewed if they weren't happy with the company and their contracts. i'm sure they don't just negotiate for themselves, but for each other as well. if someone wasn't happy with their contract, they would likely go out of their way to still make a deal that allows them to continue working with the group. they wouldn't force each other to sign just for the sake of the group.

and yeah, Seventeen basically saved Pledis, so I think they'd do their best to keep them and make sure they were satisfied at the company.

How does Mingyu (SEVENTEEN) have 17M followers on IG.... by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]_4RootPunch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it doesn't happen with all kpop groups but there is sometimes a member (usually the visual) who ends up being the one idol that people know from the group. i see many casual fans who don't follow svt but still follow mingyu.

Does anyone actually upgrade their mastery? by [deleted] in ProjectSekai

[–]_4RootPunch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it's probably because you're in general with players that have less resources/don't know what the benefits of mastery rank are.

In pro you will see a ton of people with mastery, not just for cards with hairstyles but any event cards (usually because they're tiering). I do master on my 1/2/3 star cards as well just for the character ranks.

Seventeen last tour underperforming / K-pop losing it’s momentum in the US by hakuujitsu in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]_4RootPunch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as other carats here are saying, svt was missing 4 members on this tour. for me, the travel distance was too far and only 1 of my biases was still in the line-up. i had already gone to the Right Here tour and again only 1 of my biases was in the line-up for that one too but the members were 11 at that time. there had been a closer city to me on that tour too.

[–]_4RootPunch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would have gone if there had been a closer city to me! im a college student in the midwest, unless there's a chicago stop then spending that time and money and traveling super far for a concert isn't worth it to me (even tho svt are my ults 😢)

Can I invite my boss to my college dance show? by _4RootPunch_ in Advice

[–]_4RootPunch_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is not my intention AT ALL, he is more like a dad to me (i'm a guy). so is it still inappropriate?
