I’ve heard the Touhou fandom is full of pedos, and meanwhile I’m just impressed such a thing can come out of a fucking shoot em up.

Doesn't surprise me what with almost all of the characters being lolis. I don't see a lot of underage people in the Touhou fandom though admittedly I don't know much about it. From what I've seen it's mostly lonely men in their 20s who can't talk to real women.
 
K-pop stans are specially repulsive on Twitter, you can't read any topic without those idiots spamming. And they love to take advantage of a celebrity's death to promote their bands.

I would say that K-Pop fans posting gifs of BTS or whatever in response to political events is not really any different than the girls who post Beyonce gifs, but again, this is a new brand of autism as I've never seen someone respond to the death of a famous person with shilling Beyonce or Taylor Swift gifs.

I'm sure it had happened, but if it was as prevalent I am sure I would be aware of it.

What's unique about k-pop fandoms is the amount of power they have (or think they have). Beyonce fans don't really take credit for (or feel personally responsible for) Beyonce's success. Kpop fans, however, have this weird outlook where if they aren't constantly pushing their fav (streaming 24/7, voting in every poll on the internet, buying multiple copies of a CD) that it will be their fault the band doesn't do well. By the same token, they think that because they do these things, that makes their group's success their success, too.

That's probably why they are so highly invested in these groups. It is almost like they are collectively an additional member. For instance, with BTS -- they are known as Army. In the little cartoon series whatever that they have, Army is its own character. BTS always thanks their fans and say they are successful because of them. It's a great psychological tactic, really. Pretty emotionally manipulative if you really think about it. If you compared kpop PR techniques and brainwashing techniques, there would probably be a lot of overlap, I bet.
 
It's very commonplace for content creators, artists, actors, etc. to thank their fanbase and those who have supported them along the way, but the difference between BTS thanking their fanbase and oh, I don't know, Pewdiepie or Lil Nas X thanking their fans is that BTS is an obvious industry factory-made talking head "band" (I think of the Delightful Children from C:KND) and the aforementioned guys are one person who have worked their way to the top and have a story. A thank you is more genuine, or feels more genuine, from folks that have a story and try to remain genuine themselves despite the fame.

In case anyone didn't know, BTS was literally chosen via hand-picking boys and putting them together. While driving home from class last year I caught a little bit of an interview with them on the radio while flipping channels. They were asked how they got together, and they are very open with the fact they didn't know one another before BTS. They don't even try to hide it.
 
The cringe comes mostly from gaypop posters, as they are—for a good portion of them, but all in all not limited to—Twitter trannies, faggots and cheese ridden obese roasties; while the girlpop posters mostly are fat gooks, incels or social outcasts that like looking at thighs. Kpop stans definitely are solid candidates to be the most retarded fanbase ever though.
 
This is a thread that deserved to be made. I even considered doing it myself after watching what the hell becoming this obsessed over a fucking music group can do to a person, to the point that anybody who criticizes it, and by extension them, is shut out of their life because they have NOTHING else to talk about. It is a cult. It is their life to follow every fucking move these boy groups make. To wake up in the middle of the night if there is a random livestream. To consume product and then get excited for next product.

These Korean boy band managers make the hand-rubbin'ist of Jewish stereotypes look like a goddamn amateur.

It's true. They keep music streaming playlists going 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And they all appraise one another on how often to play the videos, to space it out in a rotation of other videos, to get around the viewbotting guards on youtube to make sure they inflate their essentially fake views on their essentially fake bands. The albums they put out are put out in multiple languages and multiple versions, each with multiple trading cards and assorted packaged-in crap which compels their obsessive fans to buy even more copies in case they don't get the cards they want and they just trade or sell away the card-less CD to spread the cult, or trade duplicate cards with one another. Then you start getting into the product placements. Stuffed animals, jank cologne, all sorts of worthless trinkets. All to extract even more money out of their sucker fans.

It's bad to the point where the actual band members have to be guarded with the products that they ACTUALLY use in their "personal" lives, because these obsessives will go buy anything they mention to the point it creates a product shortage that then effects the band member. It happened when one of those BTS twinks said what brand of laundry detergent they use. Like, two months worth of product got bought in the span of a day. The take a sick pride in it too, when any rational observer can see what damage being this obsessed will do to a person.

Friends don't let friends stan k-pop.
 
what pisses me off about the k pop stans is that they reply to conversations with k pop shit when it has nothing to do with k pop in the first place.
 
I haven't listened to much kpop but i assume the lyrics are just "be happy for what you have" and "you are beautiful" and "it's okay to keep working for minimum wage as long as you believe in yourself"

Well, considering it is all in Korean (except for a phrase or two of English), it doesn't really matter what it is saying. It says whatever some random translator on YT says it does. Unless you know Korean, you have to work really hard to like the song because it might as well be jibberish. Sometimes the beat is catchy, so I'll give them that. But the lyrics are as vapid as any other kind of pop music.

To be fair, that’s probably why the fans are so convinced that they’re solely responsible for the group’s success. Since K-Pop bands are so blatantly manufactured, their continued existence is directly tied to the amount of internet traffic and CD sales they’re generating. They’re like a TV show that can be cancelled at any time if it’s not getting enough viewers.

Not saying that the Western music scene doesn’t work in a similar way, but maintaining a veneer of the artist being “genuine” also comes with the idea that their success primarily comes from their own innate talent. You, the fan, just have the good taste to appreciate it.
 
The closest thing to a Kpop fan I know is my friend's dad.
He would take off his shirt, crack open some sparkling water, plop on his chair in the living room and blast Generation G and Linkin Park so the entire house can hear.
The guy looks like Mr Incredible and Mike Stoklasa

You spent an entire paragraph talking about how kpop fans fall for marketing ploys, then spent the next paragraph falling for a marketing ploy. Hysterical.
 
I went back and looked at Keemstar's tweet and responses, which is archived here because why not?

If the car accident Dunggook caused "wasn't that bad" and nobody was killed or maimed, then why are K-Pop stans trying so desperately to cover it up? 🤔

Honestly because ANY criticism of BTS brings down an Army mob that would literally lynch you if you came face to face with them. He also had a big to do over a photo that got released of him hugging a girl from behind and they stalked and harassed her to no end. She was a tattoo artist and his company claimed they were just friends (probably were because a lot of the rumors are that he is actually gay) but the crazy fans went nuts. That's why they aren't allowed to date publicly. Some of them are pushing 30 and they've never had a public relationship. Never. They have to pretend that they somehow are international pop stars that never have sex and only save themselves for their fans. It's really creepy. One of the others (can't remember which one) got in trouble because he posted a photo of himself with a huge box of condoms in the background and the outrage forced the company to claim that it was a gift from a fan -- he totally doesn't use them, of course. It is nutty.
