To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules; - Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
- When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
- No reposting of old material unless justified
- Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
- No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
- Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
- No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
- No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
- Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up. |

Good riddance, Hwayoung. Your efforts nipple will never be forgotten.
May your breasts stay bouncy and your nipples free.
I'm bewildered by the fact that people seem to believe that the personas idols put on in variety shows are their actual personalities.
I don't think Dystopia necessarily subscribes to the view you may or may not be ascribing to him. He was just saying that in general such a stark discrepancy from kidiols' supposed personalities across the board is obviously going to be quite shocking to a lot of people. And it's true that kidiols in general consistently seem far nicer and benign than their japanese/American etc counterparts.

Bit sad to see Hwayoung go, she wasn't the most useless in the group. They could do some more clean up as well.
|
I've liked T-ara for their songs... but this incident is just kind of a culmination of all the shady and dark sides of the group. We had that big scandal with Jiyeon's self-cam clip that somehow got hushed and muddled over, there's been posts showing Hyomin as a member of organized female high school gangs / related activities, various clips showing deliberate neglect and ignorance from the group towards Hwayoung, and now here it is finally! Interestingly enough, there's been a few blog posts (some on Fomos too, haha) showing "proofs" of the members collectively ostracizing Hwayoung and sadly, I have to say that most of those look legit enough to believe.
+ Show Spoiler +
Additionally, from what I've been reading around, the main T-ara fancafe is crumbling apart and large groups are already petitioning for boycotts and whatnot. Once the fans are gone, it's over. I hope the best for Hwayoung.
|
Seriously this time, there's only one lesson in all this, let the people in the group decide the roster.
|
Wow, like 15 pages to wake up to. This is way more drama than it really needs to be -.-
Also real funny to see all these random accounts come out of the woodwork and post on this. I guess regular KMD not exciting enough for them, or people busting out the alts to post opinions

I don't think a single person has said anything like that. (except maybe dwd lol). But you really shouldn't be. Almost every interaction you make IRL is not so far away from scripted personalities anyway.
We always base our opinions of people on, surprise, everything we know about them. In the case of idols, it's their crafted TV personas. That doesn't mean we're always so far off the mark.

I think there are some that are pretty close to what you see on the reality/variety shows. Sure, they cut out cussing or lambasting about strong opinions, but I'm sure there are at least a couple idols that are genuinely what they appear to be. Not many, but some.

I thought Dani's only purpose was to make people turn their eyes away from Ahreum. Distraction-ception.

I'm not saying any of them are genuine, but no one is 100% genuine anyway. I'm just so sick of the
"Oh wow, you actually believe anything about how the idol acts on TV? So naive condescend*condescend*condescend."
The fact that we are able to make personal judgement calls on seeing through these personas is the single most important driving force behind the concept of biases.

Bah I feel so conflicted. Soyeon my #1 easy. I wanna support her still but fucking CCM and KKS >< I honestly think after all I've seen with Soyeon how she acts and behaves etc that she is above all this shit. There is no way in my mind that Soyeon is a spiteful bitch that would go out of her way to bully a member of her own group, especially since she is now the leader of T-ara. I can def see Boram and Jiyeon being at the forefront of the hate towards Hwayoung. Boram getting even less spotlight(not like she had much in the first place but still) and Jiyeon having to fight for the cute maeknae role.
is borderline, yea. Even I admit that I could possibly see Taeyeon being a bitch to some other people/members. But that's to be expected really, we've all been hateful at one point or another.

Wow, how did you do that? You should do one from page 1 to around 1700 and one from 1700 to now. To see the evolution of posters. Or maybe in quarters?

I agree. It might show a bit of naivete on my part, but one of the reasons Tiffany is my personal bias is less about her presence and time on camera (though those are great as well), but I like reading up on some of her background stories, which seem pretty damn genuine. I'm sure she's changed quite a bit since being in the limelight for so long, but those stories are at least nice in their own way.
Edit: as I'm pretty new in posting here, I'm surprised I even rank on that list. Probably speaks badly about how much time I spend on this website.

@Sh1bby How the hell did you find that out? Top 20. I'll take it.

Dystopia u crazy
I wanna see an average post count per day since his/her first post in the thread

I assume it's just a little script that downloaded every single page and did some xpath / regex matching extracting the usernames and adding some numbers together. Not that hard to do.
Fun list. Top #22 baby!
