KPop Stans - The round eye fans of slant eye bands

I said something similar in the H3H3 thread.

Girls being crazy over boy bands and teeny bopper singers like the Jonas Bros., One Direction, Bieber, and NSYNC is well documented, and similarly girls going crazy for serial killers is well documented.

However, fans of K-Pop, or proclaimed K-Pop "stans" specifically, are a new strange, powerful breed of autist. While I was but a wee lass when Bieber and the Jonas Bros. (in their first form) were first making it big, I don't remember this level of psycho cult-like following being attached to them. Also it seems like K-Pop attracts more adult (20+) women.

I do remember Bieber had quite a few older fans (which I found very disturbing). I don't think it was at this level, though. K-pop has older male fans, too. Especially the girl groups. They call them "uncle" fans.

K-pop's Unlikeliest Fans: Middle-Age Males
 
Honestly, their fantasies containing real people should be kept to themselves. These K-pop groups aren't fictional characters and other celebs have found explicit fan fiction about them and asked fans to stop (unfortunately it doesn't seem to work). I remember way back in the day, people would make websites centered around "imagine yourself fucking your favorite celebrity" and showcasing fan fictions about them. Michael Jackson seemed to get these kind of sites the most and they would go back as far as the 90's.
You haven't experienced insanity until after you've read Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert anal sex fanfiction.

Really insightful work here. THIS right here is how you do it, folks. All class - and something I *really* needed to see right at this moment.

Kpop fans take their music too serious. Its just music. I love weird al and bo Burnham with an obsessive passion but even I think kpop fans put the phrase "stan" to shame. It's ok to be passionate about stuff... but damn.

And to my friends and fans who enjoy a good kpop song. Yeah me too.

It ain't all of you. Obviously.

But there seems to be a good chunk of loonies in that group.

Be better y'all.
 
My experience with Kpop is largely limited to the ramblings of my younger sister which has provided me with some insight. It just amuses me that people have fallen for a cult of identical personalites that don't even pretend to not be artifical, in fact its pretty well known has fucking artifical they really are. The other thing I find intresting is how westernised the music is and how western perceptions of Asian men perminates within the music videos they produce, these guys ain't particualrly masculine and it seems to be further shaping the idea that Asian men aren't masculine. Its not that I particularly care but when a nations major cultural export is dancing twinks, I doesn't nessicarly improve the perceptions of both westerners or Koreans.
CHINA STRONG. CHINA=ALPHA MALE OF EAST ASIA (a)

The Kpop phenomena fascinates me, because it is one of the few cultural movements to challenge US dominance in international pop culture. While Anime has gained popularity, it is still considered an outsider thing to be a fan of within the United States. Never listened to it, outside of a SNSD song I was trying to take samples from about a decade ago.

I just don't get why the spam their shit at political events on twitter though.

The most irritating thing to me about K-pop stans is their hypocrisy when it comes to sexualizing teenagers. There seems to be this constant war between them and anime fans because some artists make suggestive or pornographic drawings of 16-17 year old My Hero Academia characters and they scream "pedo" at them while also supporting an industry that puts 13-14 year old girls and boys into slave contracts and pimps them out to wealthy investors. Just look at how young these kids are at debut.

The industry isn't even trying to hide the fact that they're sexualizing teenagers. The girl in this commercial was 15 when this was filmed:

Weird since the MHA fandom has a MASSIVE pedo problem.

To be fair, any fandom like that or Demon Slayer or Fire Emblem that's full of children is going to have a pedo problem. I used MHA as an example but they flip shit over pretty much anyone on the anime side of twitter and act like they're super clever for looking up a wikia page and posting a screenshot of a character's canonical age.
