K-Pop stans in India who are revealing their saffron hue, I really want to understand what the logic behind supporting a fascist government while also stanning BTS is. Hear me out before you cry "Hinduphobia"+
The BJP, Hindutva - follow the ideology of Aryan supremacy. The RSS, BJP's militant wing has time and time again quoted Adolf Hitler as an inspiration. They have even organized Puja ceremonies to worship Trump for his Islamophobic laws.
How does this fundamental difference in ideology enable you to support K-Pop, when 90% of the fanbase in the world fights against xenophobia and supremacist tendencies?
Have you forgotten how BJP supporters treat North-Easterns in this country? The ethnophobia they displayed due to Covid? You know the names they call people from NE. You know the violence that was carried out against them. Do you think they won't display the same attitude +
+ towards your K-Pop idols? Not to mention Hindutva also runs on caste supremacy, which is also a huge factor in colorism in South Asia. How do you stay in a fandom that supports movements such as BLM while also upholding your caste supremacy? How?
You know what else the BJP runs on? Male supremacy. Violence against the LGBTQ. You know the names they call your K-Pop idols? "Chhakka". Please enlighten your oomfs about the transphobic aggression of that term.
So far we have Islamophobia, ethnophobia, xenophobia, white supremacy, caste supremacy, colorism and homophobia. As far as I know, K-Pop as a cultural movement is fundamentally against these evils. How the fuck do you then enjoy K-Pop?
Oh, I forgot to mention Zionism. Ask any bhakt uncle about his opinion on Palestine. Go ahead. Do it.
Hinduphobia is a bullshit term that is equivalent to white people saying they're being subjected to reverse racism. If you're using this term, I'm sorry but the BLM movement deserves better allies than those who are closeted fascists in their own homes.
K-Pop is not just music and visuals. K-Pop is a rallying force in the world that has brought people under one umbrella. You want to be apolitical? I understand. Some of you are genuinely young. But spewing Islamophobic hatred and justifying it? Shame.
Either understand the fandom you're a part of, or stop calling yourselves fans. Because the ideologies that you're supporting today go directly and indirectly against every political movement this fandom has carried out. @BangtanINDIA
Moreover, you wanna explain how being against Trump and supporting the man + the political party who quite literally worship Trump are in line with your ARMY ideology? Because I'm sure your Black, Muslim and POC oomfs won't appreciate it.
You are a POC and minority in another country as an NRI. But in India, if you have caste privilege please recognize the fundamentally oppressive position you occupy. UC Hindus and their ideologies are oppressing minorities. I'd like to hear you talk about the daily +
What you are displaying today is homophobic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, ethnophobic, racist, Islamophobic, Zionist and basically all the evils of the world combined. Which is not...you guessed it, K-Pop! #FreeKashmir
Anyway
The only Gerua/ Saffron you should be stanning is Orange #Jimin. Not some bald pseudo-monk.
