“Story time.

I have this one white friend.

And - [mocking] I have this one white friend, I’m not racist. And like - where was I even going with this? [laughs] She’s not even my friend, she’s just someone I know. Okay, whatever, ‘kay, so this one white person that I know - [under breath] (I know a lot, my entire town is white.) Anyway, um, one day, she comes up to me, and she’s like,

“Jenny, what are you?” and, you know, that’s like white person talk for like, [sarcastic mocking] “what FUCKING country do you come from? Like obviously you’re not from here.”  And I’m like, “um, I’m Chinese.”

And she’s like “What? You’re Chinese?”

And I’m like, “Yeah, I don’t know why that’s so much of a surprise.”

And she’s like “Well, I thought you said you were Asian.”

And - [deep breath] [pause] there was a moment, a good minute and a half, where I left my body and ascended onto another plane, and I screamed into the abyss of that plane [pause] because she did not know that Asian and Chinese are… I, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t even… you know, whatever.

So, return to my body, from the [pause] other plane of existence in which I scream. A lot. And I tell her: “You know, China, China, you see, the country that I’m from, is a part of Asia.”

And she’s like, “Where’s Asia?”

[whispers] She asked me. Where Asia is.

And I say, “Well, Asia consists of, you know..” and I list the different Asian countries and she’s like “Whaat?”

And I’m like [sarcastically] it’s, it’s this thing, you know, that you learn about in like third grade geography. It’s a continent! And she’s like “A continent?”

And I’m like “Yes.”

And she goes, “so it’s not a country?”

I’m like, “No.”

And she’s like “What’s the difference?”

And I’m like [deep breath] “America, you see, has like North, Central, South, so like, take somewhere from Canada; they are North American but they’re also Canadian…”

And she’s like “I don’t understand.”

And I’m like “It’s okay, just know that I am both Asian AND Chinese” and you know what, she is still confused to this day, and I [pause] am still on the other plane of existence, screaming, as I tell this story to you. So you can come join me, on the separate plane of existence.”

I WILL ALWAYS REBLOG THIS SHIT BECAUSE IT IS TOO REAL, TOO TRUE.

I’m actually crying

this fanwar becomes stupid
it makes the fandoms hate each other more and forget the condition baekhyun and this fan were at in the fansign

people forget that baekhyun tried to cheer up the fan in a place where it wasn’t even a general public event and people who didn’t attend it saying things about the situation and CUT THE VIDEO WHICH IS SHARED BY A GIRL WHO WANTS PEOPLE KNOW THAT SHE WAS COMFORTED BY WHAT BAEKHYUN’S SAID

people outside the event just knew the cutted video version
then there was this fandom translator who TRANSLATED THE CUTTED VIDEO
the controversy came to i-fans and blown up more
exo-l wanted the translator to apologize because she TRANSLATED AND SHARED CUTTED VIDEO WHICH LED TO MISUNDERSTANDING, the translator posted her apology letter but IT WASN’T AN APOLOGY LETTER, THERE WAS NO WORD REFLECTING THAT SHE WAS SORRY AT ALL

i won’t say anything about mistranslating or not because i don’t understand korean because even if the translation was right, it was still a CUTTED VIDEO
after that big sites POSTED THE CUTTED VERSION AND THE CONTROVERSY BECAME MESSIER
some people from that fandom said even without the the translation it would still blown up because knetz found that some words baekhyun said were not right and okay that made sense
so baekhyun apologized and that’s the end of baekhyun side
but one thing you have to know that however IT STILL WAS BLOWN UP TO I-FANS AND DEFINITELY IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSLATION and THAT’S IT

things you have to understand are
- the translator TRANSLATED THINGS THAT WASN’T EVEN ABOUT HER FAVES and SHE DIDN’T APOLOGIZE ABOUT IT, but it didn’t make SENDING HER DEATH THREATS WERE EXCUSEABLE
- IT WAS INDIVIDUAL WHO TRANSLATED IT, then it was SHARED BY A LOT OF FANS OF THE SAME FANDOM but still IT’S NOT A WHOLE FANDOM
- you have to understand that even they called the whole fandom, if you didn’t do anything you can shut up and being cool because it wasn’t about you but it was for SOME PEOPLE FROM YOUR FANDOM, stop feeling offended because WHATEVER YOU SAID TO ANGRY FANS WON’T CHANGE THE FANS’ OPINION INSTEAD YOU WILL JUST MAKE THEM ANGRIER
- CALLING THE ARTIST FOR FANWAR IS BIG NO because IT WASN’T EVEN THEIR FAULTS
- if you want to make thread about your fandom innocences, YOU HAVE TO STOP SHARING JUST A PART OF THE TRANSLATION, YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR FANDOM THE WHOLE THINGS, DON’T GIVE HALF OF THE THINGS YOU KNOW JUST FOR JUSTIFICATION ABOUT YOUR HATE because IT WILL MAKE THE FANWAR MORE STUPID
- DON’T YOU DARE TO MISTRANSLATE ANOTHER FANDOM ESPECIALLY THE SAME FANDOM AS ANTI PURPOSELY EVEN IF IT IS FOR TROLLING because THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL JUST TAKE YOUR WORDS LITERALLY WITHOUT CHECKING IT FIRST


but the most important is:
the CUTTED VIDEO WHICH LED PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND BAEKHYUN’S PURE INTENTION MADE BAEKHYUN AND THE GIRL’S SWEET MEMORY TAINTED and IT’S BECAUSE OF SOME UNRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE WHO SHARED IT WHEN THEY DON’T KNOW THE WHOLE SITUATION
BUT SOME PEOPLE STILL DON’T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND STILL THINK THAT THE TRANSLATOR IS INNOCENT

Sometimes I wonder are my thoughts really bad? Is it because I’m not religious enough? Is it because I’m too brainless? Is it because I’m too clueless about the world? Or what?

I know that I’m not smart and I don’t have extensive knowledge. But one thing I understand is that my religion teaches me to be kind and understanding. I think another religion teaches that too because it is good value.

I can’t say that people who try to embed their religion values in all aspects of life is wrong. It’s just I don’t find it right when they force it to people who don’t have the same religion or people who don’t have one. I don’t think that is understanding. It’s just ‘radicalism’.

There are things which are absolute good deeds. Every single person in the world knows it. But for some cases there are people who argue about some matters. The polemic never ends because there is no one who wants to compromise. Whereas the domain of belief are different for each group and can’t be forced to one another. Eventually it makes them forget about the absolute good deeds.

I know well that people like to judge others especially when they hold firm the values they carry. I’m afraid those people are just following the values blindly and incomprehensive without trying to place themselves on the other side. The worst case is people can’t find a way to compromise but they can’t stay still. They still force the values even when they know that they’re so different like black and white instead of being silent. They fail to make a peace because of their own egos.

Despite of those things that happen, I’ll keep trying to be kind and understanding to others. If I can’t compromise, I’ll just do nothing. Because even if we are very different, we still can respect each other.

Do people have ever thought that hearing sad news of an idol/artist/famous person for his/her fans is similar to when we hear sad news about someone we know and have spent time with? More so when it is news about someone’s death.

I consider idols as people who nearly have same term as ‘distant friend’. Because most of the fans, maybe people like me, don’t know them like their close ones know them. The sadness I felt yesterday resembles the feeling I had when I knew one of my friends suddenly pass away months ago. I can’t say that we were close but I knew her and we had spent time together. That feeling of loss and emptiness came to me feels alike even it wasn’t 100% same. I’m sure that people who are close to them suffer more than most of us but it doesn’t mean that our sadness is exaggerated.

There are many sad things happen in the world, but it feels more real and heart-piercing when it happens to people you know ‘personally’.
