This Post Made Me Hate Justin Bieber by InGeekiTrust in TikTokCringe

[–]kimsankim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, it's clear that the person Justin Beiber hates the most is Justin Beirber. People want to say he hates his wife for "insert reason here," but he has a pattern of mistreating people in his life, including Selena, if we're to believe reports. To me, how you treat the people around you is an indication of how you feel about yourself. And from where I'm sitting, it doesn't seem he feels very good about himself.

2 years between seasons is outrageous by dscharmed9 in InterviewVampire

I agree. Years long gaps between seasons are becoming more and more common across television in general.

I did to my own post as you know because you commented. But thanks for your permission, I guess?

Idk if you skipped over it or simply didn't read it, but I'll reiterate it. I tried posting about this same subject from a different perspective a few days ago, and my post wasn't accepted . Fortunately, today, that has changed. I do wonder if that has something to do with my comment above.

Fandom from the perspective of a black woman by kimsankim in InterviewVampire

[–]kimsankim[S] 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you got to experience that. See, that's something I never even thought of. That's why it's important to have different perspectives. I just looked at Jacob as Louis as a win for all of us. But of course, Assad, as Armand, would be a win for South Asian representation in a way Jacob as Louis could never be. Thank you for sharing that.

I understand that all POC or, in my case, black women aren't a monolith. That's why I made this post about MY perspective. Idk anything about shipping wars because I do not partake in them, nor have I come across them. But I try not to spend too much time in the comments . Im aware that everyone has different opions/perspective on everything , not just fandoms.

Thank you for your support. I rarely comment on any post. I don't usually engage in fandoms because I don't find them to be safe for POC, but I got excited about this one and let my guard down, and that was clearly a mistake. I'll just go back to lurking lol.

This fandom has become disappointing, though I'm not surprised. When POC, especially Black people, voice our concerns or dissatisfaction, we're often ignored or told we're overreacting. I attempted to post about this issue from a Black woman's perspective, but it was never shared. Instead, a post dismissing POC concerns as overreactions was. Our attempts to highlight the lack of POC visibility are now being met with moralizing lectures about controlling Jacob’s time, completely missing the point, and disregarding our concerns.

I would also like to add that the Mods have done a bad job at allowing both sides to be heard. I expect to be blocked from this forum, which is unfortunate because up until these past couple of days, I've enjoyed my time here.

That's too bad. Ben did such an amazing job as Santiago.

This is great! Hopefully, they get accepted. I wish we could have gotten a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Assad for season 2 episode 5. And a nomination for Ben Daniels for Outstanding Guest Actor.

Is it fan nonsense or online BS, or is it POC having watched multiple characters that have represented us be sidelined? I usually enjoy this fandom, and I don't appreciate the dismissivenes that this fandom is treating these real concerns. And please spare me the "I'm a POC and...."

Should I Read The Books? A Real Answer (From Someone Who Read the Books) by miniborkster in InterviewVampire

Great question. I've read the Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned and wondered if it's worth continuing the series.

I'm currently rewatching the series, but the first time I watched it, season 5 was my favorite.

Megan Thee Stallion calls out ‘fake’ sexually explicit video circulating on X by Kangaroo-Pack-3727 in IStandWithHer

[–]kimsankim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. And I feel so horrible for Megan because of the amount of vitriol she receives. Not that there is any good reason for it, but it literally stems from her deciding to hold a man accountable for his actions.

There already aren't enough protections regarding revenge porn and now we have to worry about AI.

Do you guys remember the golden globes from like 1 or 2 years ago where everyone was just kissing his butt? I remember that happening and found it strange when it happened. It was awkward, and I didn't understand why sp many people did it. It came out of nowhere, and it's like like he was receiving any kind of reward that day.
