I know 99.99999% of you all are sick of hearing about the current goings on of corruption, idol issues, and Burning Dick, but!
I want to thank all of you for not fighting one another in regards to fandom support and such, where you all stand on the matters being presented, and respecting one another's thoughts and opinions (because this is one of those times that emotions and feelings will be REALLY raw, and have been, through the majority of this investigation and the reveal of so many horrific things).
I also want to thank you all for expressing your feelings on male idols (in general) but not bashing them (in general) or blanketing the criminal and disgusting things that those offenders have done. I respect those that can't look at male idols the same anymore, or no longer feel anything towards them but disgust, but are not vocally putting others down that do not feel this way. Other places have so many members that are condemning entire genders in Kpop due to the handful of sick psychos, and putting the groups in the trash (even the ones not associated with the males that were so far revealed in regards to the cases), saying that all Korean men are disgusting pigs or obsessed with porn (especially that of illegal porn), not being able to "trust" males in kpop ever again, saying how they're happy they "never stanned boy groups because they're problematic and gross and girl groups would never do that" (girl group members have done disgusting and criminal things in the past as well, please don't assume it's limited to males here) and the like.
It's refreshing to not feel you are somehow as evil as those you support (literally none of the offenders but male groups/idols) in their eyes and should all be condemned - and that somehow anyone that is solely a GG supporter is automatically better because of this. It's gross, and it is quite honestly insensitive as Hell. Sexist even, some of the things I've said people say - and I'm a girl that happily will stand for women's rights and power, so please don't assume I'm some sort of mysoginist supporter etc because I most definitely am not.
ANYWAY TLDR AGAIN (like usual) I just really want to thank all of you for having maturity through all of this that we are currently going through as fans of Kpop and some as fans to that as well as the country itself (and/or like keeping updated on what's happening in the news/current events etc) and keeping the trolling mostly out of these subject matters. It's awesome, and I'm so grateful for it.
