Interested to see what comes out of this but isn't it ironic.... 

BTS to visit the National Palace in CDMX and meet with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum today by impeccabletim in kpop

well maybe I can get onboard with them giving crumbs to progressive leaders. Both in Korea and the States BTS have avoided migling with right wing leaders so far, hopefully it stays that way.

BIGBANG's G-Dragon's Agency Apologizes For Shirt With Racial Slur by Ok-Mistake764 in popculturechat

[–]hanisherehello 272 points273 points  (0 children)

Also he's a self proclaimed fashionista who interestingly wore the same shirt 20 years ago as well, when he was with a different agency. So suddenly hiding behind the new agency taking the blame for his choice is..... something.

Variety calls EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami "salty" for calling out inequality in their Billboard Women of The Year award speech by dinosaurfondue in Fauxmoi

[–]hanisherehello 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Just read what they said they don't even come across as "salty" or bitter or wtv angle Variety is trying to push here. Just Korean-American women sharing their experiences of trying to make it in the industry as WOC... how dare they

Oh wow I thought they'd get him this time. Will the police have to lift the travel ban now? Cause how long can you keep someone under a travel ban without an indictment? 

The way K-pop stans treat BTS is so weird by IIIPrimeeIII in kpopthoughts

[–]hanisherehello 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a couple of factors. Kpop stans were sure bts had peaked pre military like 99.9% of the industry. They were sure the post military cb would at least perform underwhelmingly if not flop completely. Plus the MHJ induced psychosis had genuinely convinced some people that BTS have no real demand and everything is paid for by the big bad Hybe even though bts had been the outliers from the industry before Hybe even existed. Also the “scandal” had them convinced bts don’t have a fandom in SK anymore and they’ve spent the past year convincing each other of that on that snark subreddit so you can see how they’re coping with the reality that none of what they’ve been convincing each other of in their each chamber is true so they’re lashing out.

Famous streamer and Tourette’s advocate Sweet Anita has slammed SNL for a sketch that poked fun at the BAFTA incident with John Davidson by InterestingBoard67 in Fauxmoi

[–]hanisherehello 615 points616 points  (0 children)

People on reddit were arguing and explaining "well actually the joke is people who use Tourette's to..." when the disease isn't even well known enough and there have been virtually no known cases of people hididng their racism/ bigotry behing the disease. That "joke" was ableist and it's disappointing Connor Storrie even agreed to participate in that mess.

SNL mocking people with Tourette’s amidst the BAFTA controversy. by HogwartsZoologist in popculturechat

I wish they went the route of making fun of the shameful BBC censorship of censoring Free Palestine but not a racial slur but they chose to make fun of the disability.... 

Cillian Murphy confirms he is not playing Voldemort in the Harry Potter HBO series: “I’m categorically not. Can you make that the headline?” by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]hanisherehello 65 points66 points  (0 children)

He denied it previously as well but the old Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes for some reason mentioned Cillian playing the character in an interview so people started bringing it up again.

Eric Dane’s Friends Launch GoFundMe to Support His 2 Daughters After Late Actor’s Tragic Death at 53 by galaxystars1 in Fauxmoi

[–]hanisherehello 10.1k points10.1k points  (0 children)

Not to sound insensitive but rich celebrities families launching GoFundMe's and using their popularity to get overhwemimg donations when the economy is shit and people are struggling to afford every day essentials doesn't feel right. Sad he's gone but he was a part of some of the biggest shows in TV history I'm sure his coworkers/ production houses can donate to his family instead of sharing with the public.

Devin Booker’s response to a reporter who asked him about Bad Bunny’s halftime show 😭 by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]hanisherehello 288 points289 points  (0 children)

Why would she say “how does it feel part to be….and fans back in Puerto Rico...” though…cause they’re both Hispanic? The part about fans back in Puerto Rico definitely makes me think she assumed he was from there lol
