Not really. It is entirely unfair. How were the students to know it wasn't bona fide?

There's also a name and hashtag for Bong Joon Ho fans now: #BongHive (like Beyoncé's BeyHive). I even saw a screenshot of an explanation of it in Korean. (I don't read Hangul, so I don't know what it said.)

Thank you for this. At this point I'm considering going to see The Host.

I'm not asexual, but I am disabled, and there are times I would rather nap than have sex because I'm tired and achy and thinking about any amount of physical effort makes me feel even more tired and achy. Also reflexive "you're doing it wrong" statements about people who suspect they are asexual are about as justified as a straight person telling men that they're depraved and wrong for liking dick. Maybe we can skip the contempt toward what some of us not only don't know but can't understand.

You're welcome! I've known and sung this song for years and never knew about its origins.

Since BTS music videos have English translations/subtitles and there are multiple fan-made videos with lyrics in Hangul, romanization and English, the only point to such videos is a form of humor that would mostly elude the people who have phonetically memorized the lyrics and can and will sing along at concerts when the band asks them to.

Ouch!

I think you'll find that there is so much human variety that you will find people who don't like, hate, don't enjoy or don't get anything out of a sex act that others love. After all, there are people who don't enjoy sex or aren't sexually attracted to others. It's just as possible not to enjoy a particular sex act that most other people do enjoy. Don't let those other people and the cultural messaging supporting them bother you or make you feel like you're weird or wrong.

I don't have an opinion on how you feel about the person who told you and the person who didn't, but your feelings weren't the point, and you were out of line for bringing them up. You're assuming that the first person asked the other to pass the information along because of the bad blood between you when it could have been for other reasons. You don't actually know.

This is a much more solid basis for critique than "taste" and feels more like actual criticism than ridicule and judgment.

"Over the top" is a matter of taste. You are showing off your "taste," which is culturally determined and subjective. Helping non-binary people accept themselves is helping others even if it doesn't help you.

Are you effing serious? The stereotyping, queerphobia and misogyny in that statement is just dazzling. (PS As a cis woman, I'm particularly appalled.)

Who are you to judge? Even though you are using restrained words, the entire concept behind this posting is fundamentally uncivil. You don't know what he does in his own time, whether he gives back to the community or what. He may be helping young people who are non-binary and that in itself is a blessing. You are making assumptions based on the materialism on display. Personally not a fan of JS, but I'm not a fan of nor the target audience for him and similar influencers. And similar criticisms could be made of hipster types and the UK Vogue editorial board all of whom crowed in print about the wonderful, pricy, upscale places they are going for the holidays. But I doubt you'd accuse them of being tacky.

You're assuming people can't learn and adapt. I'm not. No group is a special snowflake worth protecting from consequences, and you don't know how many talented people leave or are discouraged from pursuing a career because they are expected to put up with this behavior. Levine and Domingo are why this needs to be dealt with instead of taking the position that someone is too valuable to suffer consequences. There are always new people developing their abilities. It isn't necessary to keep the creeps around. WNYC fired my favorite host/announcer Leonard Lopate for sexual harassment, and while the replacement show is nowhere near as good, I value employee health and safety over Mr. Lopate's continued employment after having been put on notice/warned once. Also the kind of questions I heard him ask of Anita Hill in an interview about Google firing an employee who claimed women weren't up to the job made me unsurprised about the allegations.

May you all enjoy your holidays, whatever they may be, as much as this cat is enjoying frolicking in the Christmas tree! [MEDIA=twitter]1209498178959167488[/MEDIA]

Interesting story. (The meat of it is in the heading.) https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/12/carol-bells-shchedryk-ukraine-leontovych.html

The cats whose past antics climbing and destroying a Christmas tree I've posted here are at it again. Someone brought them another artificial Christmas tree to destroy. Here they are:[MEDIA=twitter]1209144451068841990[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]1209162370150518784[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]1209184523403042826[/MEDIA] Last I checked, they'd already pulled out two branches.

New song by Holland, this one more specifically about what the anti-gay bullying he experienced in school did to him. This isn't the only kpop song to address school bullying. "Warrior's Descendant," the debut song of H.O.T, the first kpop idol group, is about school bullying. So is "Face," NU'EST's debut song.
