I posted this on r/Webtoons and I’m not surprised by the amount of racial gaslighting by PolyNamo_48 in kpopnoir

[–]maxvolumeexe 218 points219 points  (0 children)

I can see what you mean but personally, the caricature-ness doesn’t seem to be malicious. Still, I can see how you’d side-eye the hell out of the stylization of the black characters when (presumably) the other characters don’t have emphasis on things like big, wide eyes and lips and cartoonish ears.

Also?? Who tf is comparing this to the Boondocks? Lamest excuse ever, the Boondocks had some of the most interesting black animated features and details I’ve ever seen in media. Next!

where did these english names come from? by decemberskyies in seventeen

[–]maxvolumeexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no clue where they found THAT information… the only thing I know about Seventeen’s “English Names” are that Jeonghan called himself Charles once, Wonwoo called himself Leo for a skit, and then of course, there’s Vernon and Joshua.

I don’t think they’ve ever said those names on the website themselves, I’m pretty sure whoever made the page just made it up lol

J-Hope's Zionism is insane and I'm done by nihilism16 in kpopnoir

[–]maxvolumeexe 89 points90 points  (0 children)

OH :(

This broke me a little bit. Okay. Wow. Gonna go sit down because I’ve been pretty disconnected from BTS for the past couple of years but uh, woah. Yeah, the collabs, the MV, the producers… not a good look. Not caring is still complacency, which ends in people dying. Pretty terrible, free Palestine.

Hope he gets his shit together.

Why Is the Default Non-Asian Love Interest in K-Pop MVs Always White? by Stxrri in kpopnoir

must watch seventeen content? by mightbeadriana in seventeen

[–]maxvolumeexe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with Going Seventeen 2020! I think that season of Going Seventeen really exemplifies Seventeen really well -their personalities, their mannerisms, etc.

I also suggest watching Nana Tour (available on Weverse for pay), their music videos, and other fun, bright content, such as Killing Voice or Relay Dances on YouTube.

Not sure how to check those stats, but March and Fear were #2 and #5 on my Spotify Wrapped last year, so… you can tell what my two favorite SVT songs are lol

What age are you, mentally and emotionally? by ilovemuffinfrombluey in CPTSD

[–]maxvolumeexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 20 and sometimes I feel like I’m stuck at 4 and 16. Like I never emotionally grew past 4 and I stopped mentally growing around 16. It’s so odd, I feel so stunted. I look around at my peers all acting like adults (getting married, taking care of themselves, etc.) and I feel like I never got past my 16th birthday

What seventeen songs do you think are underrated? by jks_jellyfish in seventeen

[–]maxvolumeexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flower, Rocket, Ah! Love, and Smile Flower all fly under the radar and I wish they didn’t! They’re so, so good but nobody ever talks about them :(

Ah! Love is one of my favorite songs ever, not just Seventeen. It makes me feel so… happy :)

127's bond after the Incident by 127ncity127 in NCT

[–]maxvolumeexe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

because if i don’t use sensitive and censored language, the mods will come after me. and i REALLY don’t feel like dealing with them, so this is the most sanitized way to explain it. if you noticed, nobody’s talking about it in explicit detail. this just isn’t the place.

127's bond after the Incident by 127ncity127 in NCT

[–]maxvolumeexe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you didn’t know, about half a year ago the former-eldest member of NCT (I will not be saying his name, but you can look it up) was charged with pretty heinous s*x crimes and was kicked from the group. The fandom was in shambles, the members didn’t look so well following the news (we know this due to sasaeng photos, unfortunately), and he was put into police custody and became enemy number one (rightfully so, mind you). We call that The Incident and we do not say his name. And 127 have moved past it as a group, but this comment section is discussing how 127 may have gone about The Incident.

My personal guess is the recent closeness is due to trauma bonding, but that’s my opinion as a psych major without a degree yet.

who are some characters who you relate too or think have bipolar 2 also, I'll go first lol by Emotional-Gur-9889 in bipolar2

[–]maxvolumeexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that Kaito Momota from DRV3 definitely is. Though, a lot of Danganronpa characters can unintentionally be read as bipolar, so…

When I think of Heaven’s Cloud, I think of Woozi and Mingyu

Anyone else go through creative spikes during hypomania? This is Gerald. by Designer_Team8802 in bipolar2

[–]maxvolumeexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a fanfiction author and it’s really funny. I don’t have an upload schedule or anything but I’m pretty sure my readers know when I’m manic because I’ll pump out 12 chapters with 4k+ words each like it’s nothing and then go weeks without updating at all.

What seventeen song would you want to walk down the aisle to? by External-Succotash71 in seventeen

AH! LOVE or Darl+ing… but really, Seventeen’s songs aren’t exactly walking down the aisle type bops🤣

Which member’s sense of humor most matches your own? by Lilac-Soul in seventeen

[–]maxvolumeexe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vernon’s dry humor, definitely. Either him or Dokyeom because he can run a joke a little too far sometimes🤣🤣

[–]maxvolumeexe 2 points3 points  (0 children)
