so i usually wax my eyebrows, which i did a few days ago.. but i had the urge to shave them down a bit thinner and holy shit im in love
I read this a few months ago but I forgot the title and it only had 1 chapter, so basically the MCs comedy partner has to take over his dad's sushi shop so the other guy (3 guys mmkay?) offers to be his partner but that guy is a stoic guy, and I vaguely remember the MCs room smelling like yakisoba and a history joke but i could be wrong. Turns out the stoic guys actually has a crush on mc and has been PINING . The cover was them in yellow suits.
I've been reading a bit of idol manwhas/gas/huas and novels as of late and it made me realise just how much I didn't like about idol culture in general.
In terms of music, I find idols to be one of the most predatory to its fans and idols respectively. The idols have to do everything in a very specific and certain way to please fans, which isn't inherently wrong, it's basically part their job to do so, but I never got why fans reactions are always so strong when idols don't 'act like themselves' because all I ever see is an act, most idols personalities and images are for the fans, of course not everything about them is 'fake' but they're definitely not genuine more often than imo. I find there is also a lot of purity bias when it comes to this (no tattoos, no lover, etc) that seems like it's cultivating the parasocial behavior from fans. (Kinda like one of those harem mc's with a blank personality so you could insert yourself into the story, except your meant to insert your dream view into your fav idol following a specific trope you like.)
Said idols are run by toxic company tm who wants to pump out more of their idol moneymakers to these fans, and also keep wanting their idols to start off younger and younger and younger for that longevity buff. What I hate about this the most is how people who are probably freshly teens now are getting exposed to such a toxic environment with the fanbase and whatever company they are in, and also the sexualisation that happens as soon as they reach of age.
I always felt that it was weird you basically watched this kid grow and then are quick to sexualise them the moment they reach the 'legally right' age. Of course I'm not saying all idol fans or companies do this, I am being pretty specific when I say this.
Meanwhile the idols also use their image to bring in fans to make the company and themselves money, and to also please fans (and their passions as well but who knows) the fans eat it up, but then also turn around and spew the most god awful things to other idols, idol communities or idols who 'betrayed' them when it was something mild like they were talking to the opposite gender that happens to be their colleague. It's a situation where all sides have their faults (though the head of it is obviously the people who run the idols aka the companies)
Also I realised just how many companies sell merch like your gambling, multiple album versions, where sometimes the only difference is a different cover, photocards that come at random so you may not even get something you want and usually don't even come separately at first, or are only resaled at ridiculous prices. I'm not well educated in this specific aspect though as I never really interacted with idol merch but this is what I heard from some idol fans acquaintances and other small sources.
I just never got it, maybe it's because I take things from a business standpoint and view entertainers as simply doing another type of job, also, I usually care for the art more than the artist when it comes to music, but I never got the hype and fancore. Honestly, the only idols I have ever somewhat actively followed (irl) was babymetal. I'm a band fan through and through, and ig you can argue it isn't all that different from idol fanbases, but I have my problems with that community as well.
I do see the appeal and joy in following and supporting idols though, for me, it's when idol groups explore different main themes/aesthetics such as perhaps an idol group with a yamikawaii aesthetic, or a group whose main theme is 'love and truth' for examples. I also do like seeing idols change their outfits and hair colours to match their current album, songs or theme and the main part, the music, in which I have a few I like myself, I can always appreciate a well produced and loved song, matched with a nice mv/dance choreography, so don't take all of this as me saying I hate everything about idols.
To idol fans, feel free to share your favourite idol groups, songs, idols, etc and share your own thoughts, this post isn't meant to attack anyone btw, more so just expressing an opinion.
This is probably not clear whatsoever and has multiple errors but I genuinely have so much to do at the moment and typing this out is taking to long.
Tl;dr I don't like idol ->culture<- no I don't mean to be derogatory when I write this post, no I don't mean people can't like idols, no I don't mean all idols should go kts, and no, I don't mean it is entirely the fans or idols fault.

I've noticed over the past few years that the fujosphere has become way more... virtue-signaly?? Like you can't even enjoy taboo subjects anymore without people whining in your ear!! At first it was funny but now all I see is people complaining about problematic this problematic that. BRO LET ME WANK IT TO WHAT I WANNA ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERYONE READING THINGS LIKE KS??
So I read this manga and there is a part where the best friend tried to rape or force himself to the seme but luckily he failed and the story continues. For me as a character in a story he isn't that bad aside from his attempted rape. Then I saw the comments telling people how could they support the best friend and his actions. Which I'll agree is weird and kinda fucked up but then again its fiction. People literally simp Killer characters and commenting about how they want the killer to do this and that to them.
So yeah why do we (cause im also part of the ppl who cant tolerate rapist character) tolerate Killers more than rapist

How would you face your dad when you meet after a long time but you're not that close, would you face him like you're close and nothing happened or keep the distance? Idk what to do now it's so awkward

PLEASE someone tell me if this is just me. seeing the culture/language i grew up with turn into an aesthetic and trend just rubs me the wrong way. help?
I like slow burns so I dropped this after they got together fast. Now curious to read about growing old together, I returned (currently on ch.50) but I just can't do some parts.
Why bring up issues like bullying, stalking and all just to dismiss it immediately without showing any resolution. Even if it's not taken seriously at least have a conclusion or something. I cringed at how the whole sunbea stalking situation was handled.
Bullying/stalking > Haebom can't deal it > Taesung saves the day (punch) > perpetrators get casted aside by classmates. Back to square one.
It's as if these hurdles are thrown in for some development or plot but nothing changes in the end. There's not much to say about the characters, perhaps it's too early to tell.
Haebom, no problem being weak/shallow except that it's his whole character? Cute and damsel in distress. Taesung, does he even have a personality?
barely started but I'm already losing my interest. For those you read it; does it get any better, will there be some character development, should I keep reading?

How come in BL whenever something bad happens they always have sex right after.
You got fired? Sex.
You got assaulted? Sex.
You got kidnapped? Sex.
You almost died? Sex.
It just feels really inappropriately placed. Like damn let my boi rest!!
Why do the authors do this?(〜￣△￣)〜

are there any other lesbians / wlw / nblw / bi women who read bl cause i am one but i only read it for the bottoms and cute stuff and the fact there is lgbtq representatiom there is just something so attractive about a feminine guy maybe its because i like girls so im very much attracted to femininity
i think some people are pushing yuri onto straight women and that is not okay, a straight person would obviously not like seeing a woman and another woman doing it because its the same for a lot of gay people too, seeing a woman and a man doing it disgusts me very much like i just can never read or watch straight stuff, let people read what they want also most yuri plots are boring even as a lesbian, if you want to read or watch some good wlw plot then this is not the place for you.
Like fr where is this oh so amazing yuri you people keep bragging about? If you’re talking about the ones in a high school setting/ Hentai body having/ Slice of Life garbage shit then you’re a fucking liar... give me the actual good ones and not that shit.
Y’all keep complaining about people not reading any good yuris well where is it?
You guys talk a whole lot of shit for people who dont even give links to these supposedly good yuris a hoe is waiting...
