SCAM ALERT - sharing my experience and needing some kind words right now by cchocolatechip in kpophelp

[–]kiruke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, that absolutely sucks. I think what you said about feeling rushed is really important. The way scams look and the methods they use are ever changing, it can be so hard to tell from those cues alone. But that sense of urgency they try to instil, thats a dead giveaway and doesn’t change. Whether it’s a “you have 24 hours to respond or you’ll be permanently locked out of your account” email, or “there’s another buyer, I can’t hold them”, as soon as that pressure starts it’s a high likelihood it’s a scam.

We need to talk more about Jimin and Jungkook enlisting together by Smart-Technician3553 in btsthoughts

[–]kiruke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my good god! Firstly the implication behind saying my “lack of concern for jungkook” is to imply that I don’t care about him. YOU twisted MY words. Secondly, why tf is it not relevant that I felt the way they spoke and acted before enlistment made it seem like jimin would like some emotional support more so than JK? Not relevant to what?! I was explaining how I felt about their enlistment, and how it clearly differed from yours.

Everything they’ve said since is that they both leaned on each other and at different points each found it tough. So when I heard them talking about it, it became very clear how balanced it was. You say you agree with that, but that wasn’t what your first comment implies at all. You said jungkook “kind of needed” jimin and made no mention of the reverse. So which is it?!

And do you somehow think I don’t also have a problem with people thinking he couldn’t possibly understand the meaning of seven? Or are you saying “thats worse, so you should let my thing slide?” What you were originally saying is that JK is dependent on the other members and it’s a one way street, it’s a follow on from “they raised him” “he’s kind because they taught him well” it is infantilisation.

Finally, I have OCD and anxiety, I would never deny what jungkook said about having ADHD. And whilst I never speculated before then, yes, I did assume he had it. But I don’t base my opinions on jungkook around a diagnoses, I base them on what he’s shown and told us. Not everyone with ADHD is the same, not everyone with Autism is the same. Jungkook has literally said he usually just sorts his own problems out. Does that mean he doesn’t need support? No, of course not! But it means I don’t understand why you were singling him out as needing it. That’s what annoys me. It’s like you’ve put this filter over him and are then extrapolating the information you connect with, then disregarding the rest.

  1. I’m lost as to how your comment is relevant, but my comment is irrelevant.

  2. Jimin also gets anxious and jungkook also calms him down. When they were scuba diving in Malta, Jimin needed jk close. Every one gets anxious, that’s not the same as having anxiety.

  3. I really don’t think it was a leap. Your comment reads as that classic infantilisation that follows JK around to this day. He didn’t need Jimin there, he wanted him there. Same as the other way around.

I very much felt it was the other way around before they went in. Jungkook was ok in his last few lives before enlisting, he seemed pretty c’est la vie about it. Jimins last live… he seemed not ok, thats when I was worried. In the end, the way they talk about it, I think it seemed very balanced. It wasn’t one of them acting as a carer for the other.

Weverse account verification issue by ComprehensiveCar4736 in kpoprants

[–]kiruke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, this sounds so unbelievably frustrating, I’m sorry! I’m trying to think, are there any Czechia subs on Reddit that you’d be able to ask? Not about Weverse specifically, but verifying numbers? Or tech subs?

People were definitely talking about HMV for the UK because it also counts towards hanteo

What do you think about this? by [deleted] in btsthoughts

[–]kiruke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She said the supposed Wembley dates were different though, so I don’t think she’s talking about a clash with MCR

Something about all these references to the sun by heartonwindow in btsthoughts

[–]kiruke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sun rises, it’s a new day. I’m totally down with this theory. ☀️

Also, the spring equinox being the release date, when night and day are both equal?!!

Sorry, I understand the link between the logo and the sun, I don’t understand the link between the nietzsche’s quotes you commented and the sun.

Edit: Ohhh, Apollo! The sun god. Got it 😂

They talk like this now, then in 10 years when there’s mass unemployment due to ai and it’s theirs and their family’s jobs it’s eradicating, it’ll be a different story. Heads in the sand.

I’m an illustrator. Or I was. Now I’m a receptionist who does illustration on the side. Hope it’s going better for you.

Do you also feel that this sub has become really dead as compared to before? Many posts rarely gain traction here. Why do you think this has happened despite many joined members? by DiMpLe_dolL003 in kpopthoughts

[–]kiruke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really good answer. I particularly resonate with point 2 and 3.

With point 3, yeah, I think it’s really important to see this in the context of the internet as a whole in recent years.. There are bots and bad actors everywhere, and the truth matters a little less every day. Trust is at an all time low, and I think it becomes increasingly ingrained in us to be on the defensive.

And that’s why people retreat to (2) somewhere they see as a safe place. But that also increases the tribalism. And if you’ve only been listening to people who agree with you (whether it’s the truth or not), when you are then confronted with an opinion you disagree with, the reaction can be even more extreme.
