Not Today

 Sitting here watching someone's dog and I can't decide what I want to watch since I only have my lappy with me.   I found a thing that discussed the original novel behind ROP and it's interesting that the Zhiwei character seems like she was at least as ruthless as Ning Yi.  Bc in the drama version of ROP, they wove a certain ridiculous idealism into Zhiwei's character that allowed her to be offended far too much at the things Ning Yi did. And furthermore, led to the ridiculous ending where she decided she couldn't live with the trail of death that she and Ning Yi wrought.  Despite the fact that most of those deaths were due to others trying to kill THEM and those others often killed innocents who were in the way. Like Shaoning for example.

But don't let facts get in the way of your tragic ending. :B

I said I understood and even accepted the ending, but tbh, I like the idea of a Zhiwei who gave no fucks right along with Ning Yi. I also saw some promo pictures that highly implied Zhiwei and Ning Yi marrying after the latter became emperor, so I wonder whose ass they pulled that ending out of. 

Aaaaanyway lol.  As I've been catching up on everything Chen Kun lately I watched the Mojin movie the other day. It was aight. Nothing amazing. Visuals were good but it was very short on plot and there was absolutely ZERO excuse for Chen Kun and Shu Qi's characters not to kiss at the end please.  I was also highly amused at the first flashback where all the dumb commie kids pulled down those old statues and got eaten alive by demonic insects. 8D  In things that should happen IRL.

I found Chongqing Hotpot on YT though and like Mojin, I've been wanting to see that for awhile too. It seems like a dark?? comedy of sorts and believe it or not, as hot as Chen Kun is, he's also quite funny. 

I wanted to try Psych Hunter but it looks like my only real choice is those pirate sites bc it's not on YT and it's only available for IQIYI VIP.  My gosh it's so annoying though whenever I go to shoutboxes on MDL and have to watch a bunch of dumb girlies bitching about female characters in dramas. Like, just say you hate women and go.  No one ever ranks on the annoying male characters as if there's not any. They are always saying the female characters are in the way of their perceived bromance lmao, like sorry to inform you, but guys can be close close best friends and still be into girls. sTUpid incels.

Twitter is so boring mid-afternoon my time like everyone's asleep. One of the many things I hate about stan twt is when ppl defend their fave by dragging the person's fave who's dragging THEIR fave. As if that makes it better or makes any kind of difference. Been constantly seeing Chanyeol fans drag Chen in response to presumably Chen fans dragging him and it's like????  Kay. Now you're a trash idiot too yay. I also don't understand why PCY fans have to insist that his ~scandal~ was definitely not true. It's like the Jim Jones nonsense with Suga. The best way to shut these idiots up is just say you don't care. I don't care if PCY cheated on his girlfriend with every hot girl in Seoul. I seriously do not.  I don't care that Suga used a sample of a Jim Jones sermon. I still have that copy on my hard drive and listen to it all the time. 

These are not real problems, you weirdos. Where PCY sticks his dick has no affect on your life. Jim Jones is dead. A sample of him saying some random verse in the Bible won't hurt you. If you didn't know who was saying it, you'd be none the wiser. Knowing changes nothing except in your stupid head. 

I saw some quote from Suga that was so wise. THe gist of it was something like, most of your problems are in your head. He was talking about himself like, he realized that most of his perceived problems were in his head and that's exactly right. Too many people let foolish shit get to them.

 Ifans have always disgusted me, even though I'm technically one lol.  I think I reached the highest levels of disgust when that Tanuki blog started posting on Tumblr and basically revealed all the accepted-as-fact VK rumors to be false crap made up by ifans.  At least, I thought it was high levels of disgust.  Then I found Kpop fandom lmao.  Onehallyu is being hella weird in that I can't sign up, but I've been lurking like hell and most people on that forum seem completely reasonable compared to everywhere else I've been.  AKP has some rationality, but it's tempered by a lot of nutjobs.  Omona is completely full of SJW nutjobs  and I like that OH actually talked about how much they didn't like Omona lol.

But I have two things, well, probably loads more than two and these are kind of related anyway.  But ok, the propensity for ifans to believe that like 70% of Asian music stars are gay.   I realize some of it is just irrational shippers, but actually I think this is a more wider held idea than we'd like to think.  I can't remember if I addressed it here, but there's a gross tendency for Western fans to desexualize Asian men and infantilize Asian girls.  That's why you see all this nonsense about girls having sexy concepts "forced" on theme bc God forbid girls actually enjoy sexy stuff too, or acting like they don't have the brains or maturity to know what they want in a guy, see: any girl caught dating a much older guy.  She's being taken advantage of!  What a creep he is!  Etc.  Or like, maybe the girl really likes him bc she can make her own decisions as an 18+ adult????  Whoa what a concept.

I can't even touch the iceberg of desexualizing Asian men, bc that's been going on so long it's not even funny.  And worse, no one ever wants to talk about it except Asian men themselves.  I just think it's particularly gross to see it coming from people who are supposedly fans of Asian entertainment.  The worst part is the "evidence" these dumb fans use to make guys gay.  It's usually based on Western cultural stereotypes with complete ignorance to what the other cultures are like.  It's been said over and over by those of us who know, but the gay stereotype in East Asian cultures is a bear kinda guy.  Like Ken Hirai (who is wiiiiidely rumored to be gay among Jfans).  Or if you watch Boss there was a gay male character in there and he's like this burly dude with a beard.  It's not the Flower Boy look.  And you can't convince me that Jo Kwon is not gay and look how buff he is.  So when Ifans use a guy's love of fashion or supposedly "feminine" appearance or awkward behavior as evidence that he's gay, it's really just showing how dumb as fuck they are.

There's another side of it too, when Ifans use gay as a way to dismiss a guy's sexuality.  Like, Trouble Maker for example.  If I had a dollar for every dismissive Omona comment about HS being gay, I'd buy another copy of Pentagon's Ceremony lol.  They got a little silent after the MAMA 2012 performance, which was funny.  Though I remember finding a thread where people were literally arguing that he didn't have a boner, but something about the pants.  To which I said somewhere, if you think that, you've literally never seen a dick in real life.

Then, the most recent example is what is that stupid site?  Seoul Beats or something where they write all this faux!Deep opinion crap?  Yeah, someone was asking why Suga's answer in an interview wasn't made a big deal of other than by ifans.  And excellently enough, the top reply was: because Ifans are blindly believing a wrong translation.  A translation from Japanese to Korean to English, which implied that Suga said he didn't care about gender in a romantic partner.  However, as multiple people in the comments pointed out, the translation was highly wrong and what he said was basically that he always looks at personality first and not just for romantic partners.

But Ifans have ran with this crap.  I've seen so many idiots saying that he's gay or bi based on this erroneous translation.  I found one Tumblr where a fan has Suga as her fave based on her mistaken assumption that he's bi.  Ifans are always arrogantly believing that they have the truth of everything, or things that they don't like or find problematic are also considered to be such in Korea or Japan or whatever and it's just not the case.  I don't understand how you can be into another culture's entertainment scene and not bother to correct your ignorance on the culture itself.
