This is actually wicked.
1. He never saw a dime from The Blind Side, but his "family" did
2. He only found out he wasn't legally adopted THIS YEAR
Imagine calling someone your mom and dad for decades before finding out they deceived you on this level for MONEY
Michael Oher, subject of "The Blind Side," petitioned a court with allegations that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never adopted him, but rather tricked him into a signing a document making them his conservators and enriching themselves
You see the problem is that y'all only respect and treat women as human beings when they're attractive enough for you. So when fat women demand to be respected, you interpret that as having to be attracted to them. Because that's the only value women hold in your eyes.
if some chips on the ground is world shattering to you shouldn't become a parent tbh.
kids are not evil or out to disrespect you. they just genuinely don't understand complex social conventions. you can't ascribe adult motives to little humans who barely grasp cause and effect
This infuriates me. He clearly wanted the song to be for BTS, or he wouldn't have submitted it. How can you tell him his music doesn't match BTS? HE IS BTS! He said the whole reason he went the idol route is because he wanted his music to reach lots of people (1/2)
This latest music project from V has been boring af. He's chosen very vocal-forward genres of music and unfortunately he just doesn't seem to have the vocal chops to sell it presently.
I'm low-key worried about these Kpop fans learning about Japanese imperialism on their own because most of y'all do not have the nuance or critical thinking for the topic, considering how every other difficult social topic is dealt with on this website
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Bass Go Boom. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Lucas' nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into hi
I feel bad for the kids of today. Now your bullies can film you and put you on tiktok in an effort to humiliate you in front of the whole world in a matter of minutes
No solo projects = little/no leverage for any individual member to leave for different/independent management if they wish, because they don't have a robust solo portfolio = tighter grip on the group as a whole
i think it could cause fanwars tbh. like too much potential pr fallout.
e.g. taeyong says boy
#4
needs to work on his dancing and then solo stans of boy
#4
hate taeyong forever.
as much as i don’t want this show to happen, it makes zero sense to me that none of the mentors are nct members?? like who would even understand and know which trainees fit the “neo” brand better than taeyong? and why isn’t yuta, their most experienced japanese idol, part of it?
This love is blind after the altar is a very painful watch
Nancy needs to stand up
Bartiste is a villain
Cole and Zanab do not need to be in the same room ever
Knowing SK was cheating on Raven makes this painful
Colleen and Matt are such a bad match and she needs to leave
I'll say it again but DO NOT form your identity around fandom. Fandom is a manufactured identity designed to get you to buy more. That's it!! Have fun, participate, but this isn't WHO YOU ARE.
can we unpack how if a ww has a messy bun or choppy bangs or frizz, it's not that serious
But when a bw is completely presentable but not perfectly slicked back, OTHER BW will tell her not to leave the house like she's some kind of bridge troll?
Now he's at the top of the game and they're telling him he can't do that? If not now, then when? How much more does he have to achieve to earn the right to publish HIS OWN MUSIC?? (2/2)
we're seeing the consequences of exponentially more difficult choreo. there's a reason a lot of kpop dances were just a two step back in the day.
a lot of great 2nd gen singers wouldn't debut today because they weren't great dancers and choreo demands are higher than ever
@pod_appetit
They got this kind of feedback and STILL didn't hire her? I assumed she wasn't a regular because she was working on other things, but to find out they rejected her pitch? Absolutely outrageous.
maybe i'm getting off topic but i think adults are way too hard on little children. we the adults are able to manage our emotions and behaviours in a way children can't yet. so why are we pissing and crying over some chips on the floor instead of being understanding and patient?
@TourmalineEyes
@pierrefleury_
I think there's a balance. You don't need to tell the kids all the details, but you can let them know how you're feeling AND what you're doing to regulate/get through it. Kids have big feelings too and need to be taught how to cope with them and share them.
How is this different from debuting under big 3? Are all SM artists unfairly profiting off of Boa since debuting under SM in Korea now means instant fame?
The NCT system is so flawed I feel so bad for the pioneers (SM Rookies) who worked blood, sweat and tears trying to get the brand and that weird concept to takeoff only for the newest members to profit off of their name now that they’re so big.
It doesn't make me happy to say this at all, truthfully. But with so much R&B and jazz he's placing yourself in a position to be compared to some of the greatest singers of all time. That's a hard arena to be in. Since it's not straight forward pop, it's gonna be judged harder
It's actually getting so weird. Why are people mad at her like she's the one who wrote, casted and directed the movie?
Also who the hell is so invested in the story of snow white that they're getting pissy about changes? It's a landmark film but the plot will NOT resonate today
this rachel zegler / snow white situation is rly showing how easily liberal anti-girlboss rhetoric can sound just like plain old conservatism bc what you mean you're dogpiling her bc she said her character isn't a damsel and wants to be a leader in a months old interview?

There's no need to worry. She's young and doesn't have any underlying conditions, so she will recover with proper rest and symptom management. Anyone who's had the flu this year likely caught the same or a similar strain. Get your flu shot folks!
Not knowing how to do your hair or even feelings of self hate towards your hair are not personal failures. With the many systemic and historical reasons, it's reductive to treat it as a personal problem. Compassion is essential.
i'm recalling the 9muses documentary where they went a variety show. it was completely scripted and some girls were upset because they weren't written into the script
This is facts though. The music isn't the product; we are. Or rather, the influence the idol has over us is the product. And that product is sold to advertisers. The music sales are proof-of-concept of the influence.
honestly ifans opinion of the situation doesn't even matter. it's the korea PR nightmare that's the problem and that's something we can't do a damn thing about
If I buy a song from Korean writers, give it to a group of minors, keep the Korean lyrics in, and Korean speakers point out that it's inappropriate, then YES I should apologize and change the lyrics!
I think it's kind of funny that when L*cas has an off performance and poor facials it's a we love you hashtag but when it's L*a she's a twt punching bag. I'm not saying you can't critique a clearly subpar performance but the energy is different
Kpop functions on a parasocial relationship first and foremost. That's the business model.
Some companies and groups refuse to jeapardize that business model no matter how sideways the fans act.
#cyberkpopspace
this is what i've been saying some of y'all get on the facetime fanmeet and unload your life trauma on a complete stranger who is now obligated to become your on demand therapist because they can't deny a fan's request
A kid talks about their family to their peer group on an anonymous social media account. Why is this news? We are all doing the same on tumblr in 2012.
if you're the type who wants their fav to have total creative and management decision making power, you should be hyped for this. they'll have total artistic and business control if they choose to join the independent label system
SM Ent shares that they are moving to a multi producer / multi label system and will look to acquire other labels for maximum IP profitability. They will also establish a publishing specialized subsidiary.
Megan's testimony after lunch break was significantly more emotional. She got very animated & broke down several times talking about toll of the shooting.
“Because I was shot, I’ve been turned into some kind of villain, and he’s the victim. This has messed up my whole life.”
