Never have i seen someone sexualize BP the way non fans do. And it’s not just sexualizing, it’s sexual harassment. they’re accused of sleeping around for their views and streams, that they “please” their male audiences. Which is very minute btw, since ggs with girl crush concepts have predominantly female fans and blackpink is not an exception. Their choreography, looks, and other things being sexualized like how they are in this video. “The male gaze” like ew… If anything this goes beyond just not liking their music, it’s violent sexual harassment and misogyny if you point things out like that. It’s incessant and just exhausting and as a woman, hurts me a little every time I see something like that. I hope those women don’t see how they’re being talked about like this, it must be debilitating for their mental state.

What you have to keep in mind for the youtube and spotify comparison is that YT has a way bigger audience than Spotify and the discrepancy was even bigger in the past. Yes they have more views than on spotify but YT has a bigger audience and they started releasing stuff on YT since 2016. Psy is gaining 1m views daily for gangnam style to this day while his spotify streams dont reflect that, but i doubt anyone would call him inorganic

you mentioning Rosie's weight loss as unnatural, made me remember, those particular days, Rosé was pissed as fuck in a live, when she was constantly facing body shaming comments like " Eat more, why are you so skinny? She mentioned how she's facing problems at gaining weight, and most importantly " not all bodies are same, I'm trying to gain weight, it's way more difficult for me". Speculation over their bodies is not great, lisa also addressed in a recent video, on bpm that she loses weight immensely on touring, and is still trying to gain weight. Weight has been a sensitive matter for blackpink, 2 members are bashed for being skinny, 2 are for being fat. Something they've struggled with is being used as means to speculate over them possibly starving themselves over standards just hurts.

This line is not the toxic one in the whole song. I also said that it must be a song for haters when listening to this part but then when the song continued and they started singing how they are prettier than other girls who dress like them- that's the toxic,misgonetic part of the song. After the song was released the many fans used it to attack other female idols or use it as empowerment when it's so far away from that. What's empowering about tearing ppl down so that you can seem above them?

It’s okay to dislike blackpink but to say that the sexualization over the nurse scene is her (jen) and the stylist fault is insane to me, considering she only wore it for a damn scene, not even for dance or film more scenes with it, like that’s all. Also, I didn’t knew that shake my ass in a performance was a sort of bad thing or that I was contributing to the male gaze.. which is actually crazy to think about as, dance is a form of expression which not necessarily mean u want male validation or male attention… like this opinion is just kinda weird and misogynistic cause they’re just girls dancing I mean… I don’t think they’re even trying to attract the male public with their choreos. if u think they’re overrated that’s fine but I think that if u are gonna make a video abt women and systemic issues cause u are mentioning them, u should a do it from a neutral POV or at least do more research abt the topic and the gender issues specifically in kpop. Or at least consider other perspectives from women that gets positive energy and strength from blackpink music to continue their studies, their dreams, or just to have a good moment etc. For me this is more like a hate video that shows your ignorance and bias pov cause the original title was “blackpink is overrated” and you’re not a kpop gossip channel I think…….

How do y’all hear lyrics like “I bring money to the table not your dinner” “ type to make you love me when the only thing you’ve done is like” and think “this is a pick me song 🧐” that’s literally not what they’re saying AT ALL. They’re basically saying that they know their worth in a relationship and they’re confident woman, hence the “you can check my stats, got everybody eye and I run them laps around everybody minds”. It’s also just weird how y’all are making it seem like somebody being confident in themselves is a bad quality to have, when it a great thing to have in a significant other. I feel like a lot of you have never been in a relationship and that’s why you can’t understand the viewpoint of this song.

I loved the video, but I hardly disagree with the part where they automatically dress for the male gaze just because of short skirts, fishnet thights etc. Why can we not dress sexy for ourselves? It gives off the whole they're asking for it vibe. I agree with the dance moves being provocative however I think that many idols and singers in general do this. Not just kpop idols, it's just not as commonly seen in the kpop space as in western media. While I'm a blink I do think that the biggest problem blackpink has in that people as a whole just see black and white with them. We spend so much time putting idols/ famous people on a pedestal that we forget about the grey area of things. I also believe yg makes things worse for them by not speaking up. I would love to see a video about idols that are actually change the industry like Yunjin or Soyeon.

This whole uproar has been entirely created and curated by online kpop fans who took specific clips from fancams. There is a reason why the same 4 clips are being regurgitated.

Zoe... you can't imagine how fast their concert tickets were sold out. I waited online for 6 hours to find one, and after I bought it, it was almost sold out. The hype is real.

I understand that the Blackpink phenomenon is a relevant part of your series about pretty privilege, and I agree about a lot of stuff especially the hypocracy of the "empowerment" branding followed by constant demeaning lyrics (which doesn't even seem to be what the members are like) but some things about this video are misleading and unfair, I think. 2:22 using a before/after of Rosé and a clip of Jennie saying that she's hungry without context while saying "at the expense of their health" is diagnosing them with carreer-induced eating disorders or forced dieting which, quite frankly, is strange coming from you, knowing how you keep pointing out that one shouldn't accuse you of these things just because you lost weight. Not you Zoe! You know, Rosé's small frame makes every little variation extremely noticeable, because every pound represents a higher percentage of her total weight than if she had started off with a body that's on the larger side. It's easy to lose and gain a couple of pounds just because of everyday life. 2:37 : that isn't plagiarizing, that is quoting, it's part of rap culture and it's meant to be obvious We don't know what is going on behind the scenes and why the quality of their performances have been declining so much. But it's indeed reasonable to expect top-tier stuff from acts that are so successful, especially coming from an industry that is all about excellence.

Why r ppl acting like she saved the world by uploading a video to critique BP? There are thousands of videos saying sig worse things about this group. This isn't new... If anything there r some false claims. Lip syncing= pretending to sing when u r not. Not putting the mic to your mouth to pretend to sing ISN'T lip syncing. Lisa never pretended to sing if she wasn't. I wish ppl would look up the meaning. Jennie did lip sync in her solo however. Just correcting a clear mistake. Show me a popular kpop group that doesn't lip sync ever and I'll show u a liar. Also, everyone keeps talking about their 1st concerts but forget the other 30+ concerts. All in all decent video, but SOME things don't make sense and feel regurgitated rather than factual.

I think that they began to feel unfulfilled by their job as idols at some point and it is the main reason that the group feels lackluster as a whole nowadays (thus the downfall of their live performances and increase in their solo activities) and not the marketing strategies of YG which is pretty common. It seems to me as if they have no interest in being idols anymore and YG is just trying to milk the success of their fame till the last drop. Imo, in their first years they deserved all the titles and praises they were given but nowadays it's sad to see that the passion they had when they were rookies has been fading. I just miss THE blackpink tbh now it just feels like they don't really care about their music career and giving their bare minimum cuz they know that the loyal delusional obsessive fans will eat it up like its their best.

There is a concept I would like to introduce by the name of constructive criticism, and it's definition is in the name. If you are constantly just trashing on a group saying they are this that and the other, and not highlighting strengths to create a viable solution to the criticism you are highlighting, you are not being constructive. You don't actually care about the quality of the product or it's potential. You are just being a hateful loser.

(G)-IDLE can better be described as breaking the standard, as they aren't afraid to show the fierce side of femininity, or experimenting with their concepts. BP is great, but even if they challenge some standards, it's not enough if they always go back to mass appeal without getting out of the comfort zone. HYLT, DDD and KTL were all sounding pretty similar with similar themes, and it's not bad to be thematically cohesive, but it gets repetitive at some point. (G)-IDLE doesn't shy away from experimenting, shame that their company is such a lame ass excuse of an organisation.

While I actually agree with some of your points, I genuinely disagree with a few of them and would like some clarification on what u meant by them. I don't mean to totally shut down ur points or your point of view, i'd just like to open more discussion on this as u seem very well-spoken and knowledgeable. Particularly, I don't understand what the male gaze section was supposed to be about? Yes Blackpink have some risqué moves here, lots of twerks, body rolls as u said and that can't be denied, but these kind of moves, especially with blackpink, are really... harmless? Let me explain before anyone gets the wrong idea I TOTALLY agree that catering to the male gaze is RAMPANT in all entertainment industries and women are unfortunately exploited a lot and made to act in sexual manners, but in the case of Blackpink, it's not as if the girls were underage when they debuted and made to perform these risque moves, afaik they don't express any discomfort in performing these choreos unless they're in a tight, uncomfortable outfit(which i would say is a bigger issue), and combined with their powerful, confident image, it feels as though the girls themselves are confident in expressing their sexuality and sprinkling it in their performances(despite them constantly being SL*TSHAMED for them omfg) Also, I don't like the take "oh the brand claims they're so "not-like-other-girls and empowering but they cater to the male gaze" when the examples u gave (sexy choreo and doing aegyo) aren't even that bad? Like just because blackpink does these things at all does not change the fact that they're overall empowering as a group that inspires confidence? Furthermore, I feel as though adding the male gaze is kinda redundant as literally SO many groups have choreos that are sexual in a more problematic way than blackpink. For example, making MINORS do sexual body rolls, lifting up their shirts and doing hip thrusts. And this applies to both ggs who conform to a male audience and bgs who conform to a female audience. In fact, I'd say most active boy groups have even less subtle sexual choreos than blackpink, and yet they are not NEARLY as criticized for it. And I'm not saying that all idols should be shamed for having sexual choreo (unless an idol is minor or explicitly expresses discomfort in performing them, whether it be because of the audience or other reasons), every idol and performer for that matter should feel able to utilize sex appeal in their performance IF THEY WISH TO, because the truth is, sex sells,, and it DOESN'T have to be exploitative if the idol feels comfortabel with it and there's no ethics being broken or abused. Again, Im so sorry if I misinterpreted what u were trying to say or if i got off track,, but I just wanted to get this off my chest and wanted to express my opinions. Feel free to correct me or reiterate your opinions, I'm genuinely open to discuss this and hear out other perspectives as, again, judging by ur channel u seem very well-spoken and with a lot to say. (EDITED to re-word some of my points)

Alright lemme sum this up rq for yall 1. I absolutely do not see this video as a offensive or hate video, it's simply somebody voicing and recognizing some pretty valid points, zoe has also numerous times said that this is more on YG and not on blackpink. 2. I do agree that this video probably should've been more wide focusing where she spoke on the kpop industry in general, but she has already made a video like that and I'm assuming this one was just more of a focused video that studies one specific group. I would however agree that there are other groups that imo have more interesting subjects in term of things that should be noted and investigated on them, but it makes sense that blackpink was chosen especially considering their global griphold. 3. DOUBLE STANDARDS R WILDDDD. the amount of ridicule and slut-shaming i've watched jennie receive for her twerking on stage is genuinely disgusting. y'all will scarf down any male kpop idol who grinds the floor but she can't... shake her ass? bffr y'all. A. she's a whole grown woman. B. it's literally her tour and C. ain't nobody got time for your 1800s ideals. I also think its wild how much society hates women who are comfortable in their bodies and how they express them. Like korea is perfectly chill w/ making their underage idols sing about cookies or making them wear hella short skirts but when an idol CHOOSES to do smth like that, then it's a problem because it's a woman who has control over her body instead of selling it to some bogus company. 4. are they overrated? that's debatable imo. for me, i have loved them for years and they got me into kpop. i think that they've opened countless doors for other idols (regardless of whether or not they're "better", they still allowed groups to be able to reach fans all across the world). they are 100% a commercial project in certain areas bc lets be fr, everything is. Everything you love and everything and everybody you find to be "authentic" is truly a product at the end of the day. despite this, i still enjoy them as a group and i think that sometimes you just have to decide, "do i want to stress myself over the fact that literally everything is fake or do I simply want to enjoy this group for what it is?" it's your choice. 5. they have so much wasted potential. i truly have always felt this and even more so after i discovered some of Rose's solo covers. she has such an amazing voice that is honestly kinda wasted. personally, i feel like most group (kpop or not) are going to have trouble including everyone. Which is why i've never been a huge fan of those hella big kpop groups, someone is always going to be forgotten (like let's be fr, if blackpink has trouble including people, imagine twice). but anyways i rlly hope when they disband that all the girls are able to follow successful solo careers, whether it's in acting, singing, dancing, etc. or even private lifestyles or behind-the-scenes work. 6. Imma say it bc i can, some (aka the majority) of their fans are way to obsessed, referencing back to the halo effect that zoe mentioned, y'all mfs gotta chill. and im saying this as a blink, you have to realize these people are human. which means the following: they do not owe you a damn thing they are not perfect, which also means that you may disappointed by them and that's okay. you absolutely should not entertain the idea of a parasocial relationship with people who have no idea who you are and no, it is not okay to stalk them. they quite honestly can do anything and you literally do not have to stay their fan, just don't be obsessive and don't be an asshole :) okay i think i summed it up. lmk if i should add smth ig?

Tbh I think they are overrated but not in a typical sense of what people mean with that word. I will listen to most of their songs as I think they're catchy. Like, Yeah, Typa girl is kind of sexist but also you will absolutely catch me yelling to myself in the mirror "I bring money to your table not your dinner". I don't think music lyrics need to be "morally right" as I believe art needs to depict feelings and your feelings are sometimes not politically correct and that's fine. You will see a person and feel inappropriate things and maybe write it into a song, there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is them being somehow branded as having great empowering or deep lyrics, when they actually do not. It's ok if your lyrics are not deep, but it's not okay when you are constantly portrayed to be having deep lyrics when it's not true, is what I'm trying to say. And this trend with "being portrayed that they are something they're not" keeps repeating with them. I won't continue the list but it's safe to say the media play around them amounts to way more material than their music ever has. They earn off of music the least at this point. Somehow they did this climate campaign at some point (it's been a while), and yet they are the girl group that changes outfits the most and you NEVER see them wear the same thing twice. It just feels overly contradictory. Like, why not doing something for animals instead, something you actually care about? Most members have pets, why not support some action/charity for stray animals? Jennie is supporting some animal care facility, why doesn't the group jointly support such a cause instead of trying to seem aware of the climate change while cutting items worth thousands of dollars for a single performance?
