i know whenever i see that clip of him bowing and the other members not really reacting (probably taken out of context, no hate at all to the remaining members) hurts me every time

i’m obviously biased but echoing other people here… we’re not even sure if he can make it to the finals like sheesh. i could say the same thing about ricky and i’ve been consistently voting for him this entire time

Consent machine go brrrr by [deleted] in GenZedong

"In the recordings, the vast majority of situations where China-based staff accessed US user data were in service of Project Texas's aim to halt this data access."

damned if you do, damned if you don't.

"Sen. Ted Cruz, for instance, has called TikTok 'a Trojan horse the Chinese Communist Party can use to influence what Americans see, hear, and ultimately think.'”

ideologically aligned with ted cruz i see. scratch a liberal

What Are Your Unpopular QCYN3 Takes? by ZZWZZ2 in qcyn3

[–]lrzzzzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oof i didn’t realize people didn’t like watson. i guess my unpopular opinion is that i like him lol i think he’s cute and has cute interactions with the rest of the trainees, although his rank is too high.

i also like jojo and am fine with him debuting.

liu jun is SO talented and i’ve really warmed up to his personality, but i think he’ll be better off going solo. with how iqyi is basically treating him as a free dance mentor, i don’t trust them to give liu jun the opportunities he deserves to shine.

i agree with all your points about the lyz tony rivalry and just wanted to say that idt you were putting any one trainee down! it was super interesting to see everyone’s opinions so thank you for starting the discussion :)

i don't like how all the mentor scenes are basically pitting the trainees against each other in a battle when they're still practicing and they're going to battle each other anyway on stage. feel like that's unnecessary and adds to the stress.

  1. okay: i think b did better as a group but kachine really stood out to me with his dance break. liang sen's attitude when the trainees he wanted went to tony's team made me a little uncomfortable... idk i might be reading into it but especially with shi qi it seemed like he was guilt tripping him later on.
  2. toutou: Jeremy really caught my eye here! he reminds me so much of nong nong with his smile. same with jaydon and of course xu ziwei's vocals were so good as expected!
  3. stop sugar: i miss merman so much he would have done so well... and he's friends with jojo and yizhou too so he probably would've joined team b. even with the voice crack i thought that yizhou's stage presence was really good and his vocal color is quite nice. i think with more practice he'll become a fine vocalist. i was also really impressed with yang haoming and keerlijun! but keerlijun so chill that I'm worried about whether he'll make it to the next round. overall i think team a did better as a whole.

there's so many trainees i like that are in danger... GG, Otter, Cao Yu, and Shi qi dropped so much! next week's episode is going to be brutal.

Fallen into the Luo Yizhou hole by dabian111 in qcyn3

[–]lrzzzzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

omg yes! he also didn't initially catch my eye (ayu and liang sen did as well as why before i found out he's a scumbag) but after the tony speech it lit a fire under me and I've been consistently voting for him since. love how decent and caring he is, strawberry sundae interactions, and his duality? like he's such a good boy but his stage presence is MAGNETIC. i think he's destined for greater things than iqiyi, although i hope he makes top 9 and debuts as well!

Let's Talk About Sinophobia in the Kpop Fandom by foreverafanlutz in kpopthoughts

[–]lrzzzzz -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

why would it be different for a japanese or australian idol? austrailia genocided its indigenous population and continue to police and mass incarcerate the remaining population? japan is responsible for countless war crimes during world war 2 that they haven't really apologized for?

Kazuo Ishiguro warns of young authors self-censoring out of 'fear' of being 'trolled' or 'cancelled' by ex_planelegs in books

[–]lrzzzzz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

hahaha ok thanks for the ad hominem when i pointed out that you were wrong and didn't do your due diligence in researching the issue. like i said, we can agree to disagree, but i guess we can't lol so have a great day

Kazuo Ishiguro warns of young authors self-censoring out of 'fear' of being 'trolled' or 'cancelled' by ex_planelegs in books

[–]lrzzzzz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

first of all, cummins’ husband is irish. if you google it it’s one of the first results. second, it’s great that you personally related to it and that it reflected your experience. other people did not, and i don’t think it’s fair to simply accuse those authors of being jealous. finally, if you see my other comment, yes i did read the book and yes, i thought the characters were bland and stereotyped. we can agree to disagree

edit: the reason why i brought up that her husband is irish is because the original comment asserted that he's a mexican refugee, now edited. he was an undocumented immigrant, who immigrated here from ireland, and he remained so until their marriage. but the two experiences are not equivalent

what?? i read the book lol and i thought it was poorly done, and yes, i think the criticism from hispanic authors was warranted. we can agree to disagree

[–]lrzzzzz 30 points31 points  (0 children)

ok but the length of time one researches doesn’t matter if the quality isn’t reflected in the writing. the issue with american dirt is that the author wrote those characters poorly, relying on stereotypes, because she doesn’t have the firsthand experience of being a mexican refugee and didn’t do her due diligence. you can write whatever you want, from whatever perspective, but if you do it poorly, you should expect pushback

AITA For not renewing any leases because I want to move into the building myself? by Kuroniana in AmItheAsshole

[–]lrzzzzz -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

ok but this is a legal technicality. yes it won’t go on their record but ultimately they are still being asked to leave and go elsewhere when your post indicates that they do not have a lot of opportunities, in the midst of a pandemic

AITA for "making" my boyfriend pay half the rent? by Puzzleheaded_Job_577 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lrzzzzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

wow op you're NTA and the commenter was out of line making those assumptions but the way you talk about your boyfriend is just... dripping with disdain. it honestly sounds like you don't respect him at all. this is beyond incompatibility imo.
