Why do kpop fans get giddy when white men notice their female bias? (1 Viewer)

I noticed this a couple of times. Usually with some white male Youtuber. And now recently with C list white male celebrities.





I know kpop fans are big into capitalism and privilege, but also whiteness?

tbf kpop stans act like this when any western celebrity mentions their faves regardless of race, gender or even popularity

 

[yamaoka]

bc it validates their opinions/tastes

Tbh, I think people are like this with all western artist/actors and whatnot. I've noticed it a bit. I'm like "okay good for them..."

They don’t hype it as much when it’s Western POC men noticing their female bias

Ah, I see what you mean. Well with women people were thrilled that Megan Thee Stallion likes BTS. There're others too but idr.

mmm yes Doja Cat, The Weeknd and Cardi B, my favorite white male c-listers who have also noticed Kpop and have also gotten the fandom to rave about it
People are allowed to be excited about their faves liking their other faves ya know
Sometimes it's just that simple, i know, impressive lmao

Because they, the KPOP fans and foreign male celebrities, have the same person they like so the KPOP fans become more thrilled when they learn that information.

It's like if you discover one or a group of your friends like the same sports teams as you.
Don't you also get thrilled because you discovered that about your friends?
