Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

I'm glad CSJH (K-Pop) flopped again - I got so sick of their fans' arrogance and putting down other groups (which I won't mention here) to claim that CSJH are "OMG QUEEEEEEEENS!" Nobody cared then, nobody cares now.

I'm tired of male Korean idols getting away with everything from hit-and-runs to misogyny.

WHY don't people see that the use of headdresses/faux-Native regalia in music videos and the like is really fucking racist and disgusting? Don't pull the "I'm Native and I don't care/think it's cute!" card on me either.

I feel so disgusted that I'm 125 pounds - fandom has taught me that I have to be 110 or less at my height to look attractive (I'm 5'3/5'4). I have trouble with bloating/constipation and hypoglycemia, so I put on weight but can't lose it. I hate myself and my looks so much... and I hate that I'm so shallow. I would starve myself, but as I live with someone, I wouldn't be able to pull it off.

I'm jealous that Amber from f(x) is praised for her short hair and androgynous looks, while my short hair gets me labeled as a "dyke" or once "a gay boy".

haaaaaaaa, I'm Native, and I don't care. Not any of that Oh my grandmother is 1/8th Cherokee shit either. I live on my reserve, and it doesn't bother me. Are you Native too? Is that why it bothers you so much?

Amazing I'm like almost the exact same weight and height as you. Believe me you are not overweight. I'm not really involved with the k-pop fandom, but for the most part a lot of those girls look way too skinny and aren't necessarily all that attractive in my eye. Don't starve yourself it isn't worth it. If you want to do some fitness exercises, some light aerobics can be fun or just go and take a walk. Those are things I find enjoyable without being too strenuous.

Do you wear make-up? Usually it helps to wear a little eyeliner and mascara if you make your hair that short.

uh, i'm native and it doesn't really bother me?

sure, it's annoying but i don't see a reason to scream at the top of my lungs about it either.

I know nothing about K-Pop but I'm with you on the fake Native stuff. The appropriation of Native culture has become so ingrained in America that nobody questions it, and in many other places, it is just one of many representations of a culture that isn't their own so the implications are neither obvious nor relevant. It's awful, but there isn't a whole lot you can do about it.

Please see someone about your body issues. Whatever fandom you're in that's making you think you're unattractive, get out, because that's bullshit. 125lbs is a perfectly healthy weight for your height.

Generally speaking, try to ignore and avoid the assholes as much as you can. It makes life a lot easier.
