To be honest, this is one of the funniest things I've ever read (probably top 20) because he starts off being sarcastic, but then his brain tells him, "Tell them the secret of the Chinese marijuana wars." and he was like "Huh? Who was that? What was I writing? Oh yeah. Chinese marijuana wars from pre-history." then goes off on a tangent about being able to teleport through meditation and how the Pyramids of Giza are actually space-ships powered by mind-altering drug-induced telepathy. I'm figuratively dead from laughter. | ||

They have Seolhyun standing there looking perfectly symmetrical. Then the beat drops and she pauses between each line: You are so handsome... ...I am beautiful... ...We don’t have to look to know that we must be a match made in heaven. The phonetic structure of the line in Korean and the way she sings it is a really powerful moment. You see, boybands/girlgroups sell the fantasy of the members being in a romantic relationship with the listener. While also selling the fantasy of -being- the person that is so hot and sought after. It's the same thing Frank Sinatra and the Beatles did. So the premise of the song as a representation of the fantasy "A hot girl might ask me out" "Maybe I can ask out that hot guy" hit home for both sexes very powerfully in that line. What I find interesting is that the lyric I quoted in the OP isn't found in the youtube closed captioning. I think it was intentionally left out. I think the song is marketed towards a more western audience and wanted to appeal to the myth of women asking men out being acceptable and desirable. User was banned for this post. | ||

So what do you guys think about the song? + Show Spoiler + It's really quite thoughtful and deep. The song deals with the issue that some girls have with dating in their youth. Their expectations for a man are far too high. We have lyrics like "I want you, but you don't" then later on "I don't know why I feel so suffocated." As though the ladies don't exactly know what they want and don't know how to feel or act properly. At one point the man-doll, or representation of the male in the relationship, goes to strike Yenny. Then, right after, you hear Yubin sing a line about wanting to control the man's mind, not being able to, and then nit-picking his characteristics. This shows the confusion young ladies have over serious and non-serious relationship issues and how one needs to act in a relationship. The end we see the girls squirt ketchup and silly string the helpless man-doll. He's left with a stick of TNT on his lap, fuse burning. Besides the attempted strike, the man-doll hasn't done anything wrong. He's a representation of a perfect and innocent man, but the ladies aren't able to deal with their own feelings and thus make -him- look bad to make themselves look better. Then they ask why they're so lonely, I won't why, right? It's quite a deep an interesting concept. I'd expect nothing less from these beautiful women. | ||

In the end I'm in camp #freesonivton2017, but it's primarily a "This is our house" ban, especially because LL off-topic basically is a house at this point. | ||

The ban seems to be the result of some sort of personal grudge, which means that from now on, I have to be really wary of arguing against a TL staff member. Anyways there's a poster who is like this and anybody who has a reasonable command of English understands that he is basically doing as the comic does, but he isn't randomly banned either. That has been true here since forever. It's why Opisska is so funny ranting and railing against it. It's rule number 1 of the 10 commandments. Accept that all opinions are equal, but some are more equal than others, and you will be fine. And no, arguing with a TL Staff member in the US/UK/EU politics threads won't get you banned. But having wonky opinions on the feminine psyche, and voicing them in completely unrelated threads, may. | ||

I think that my dissent against this rule is being constantly misinterpreted and you are now doing the same. I was never questioning the right of TL staff to enforce the rule, I am merely of the opinion that it is detrimental to their own goals to have a good discussion platform and their own personal development. Or does someone really believe that the mods vigorously enforcing an echo chamber around themselves is doing them any good? | ||

Acrofales what do you find funny about someone pointing out that the banning appers to be unjustified as related to the post he was banned for? Reading the reason given the mod appears to be banning people based on what appears to be a personal grudge. Having been on the recieving end it's rather unpleasant. Yes, the mods have ultimate power. Afterall, other users don't have the ability to ban or unban people. We all know that. No one disputes that. Anyways, I don't think this is the place to discuss this. | ||

Anyways, I don't think this is the place to discuss this. That's one thing I don't get it - what better place to discuss it than here? On Website feedback I feel like that is an elevated complaint, and one that few if any will see. Here, we are supposed to be discussing bans in the automated ban list, but not supposed to discuss whether we agree with the ban or not? Why? Anyway, once concession I will make is that context is very important in matters like these - although the posts themselves maybe did not warrant a ban directly, if this was in a thread that would make these posts wildly off-topic and he did it consistently, I can understand that (this is what has been inferred). We've also only seen a handful of posts out of his thousands - what if they are all more or less of this nature? While none being blatantly offensive, if each is abrasive, then the cumulative impact would be worthy of a ban for sure. I had my second account permed for something like this. OR, if as someone said, this poster has said very misogynistic things in the past, then even weak allusions to that in these posts would be referencing a greater offense that was actioned in the past. That is all speculation in an effort to play devil's advocate with my own stance that those posts in a vacuum weren't ban-worthy. My initial impression is that, as others have said, it was a dogmatic action from the mod. Or that the mod is heavyset. No way of knowing. | ||
