Fangirls and their Idiotic Slut-Shaming

Jessica's recent performance of Lee Hyori's "Miss Korea" sparked up the stupid fangirls to do what they do best: slut-shame. Slut-shaming isn't a new trend amongst the K-Pop community and happens every time a female idol does something that is considered "overtly sexual" by fangirls. There was a lot of slut-shaming going on when After School pole-danced and Girls' Day came out with "Expectation".

As a feminist I can understand where they're coming from. There's no doubt in my mind that women are exploited for the benefit of men in the entertainment industry, but slut-shaming totally goes against what I believe in. You don't just say that an idol is a slut, whore or a porn star just because she's acting sexy on stage or in a music video. That's totally unacceptable, especially since you don't know a thing about that idols personal life to even call her a slut.

Most of the fangirls that slut-shame are hypocrites anyway. They go on and on about how their idol shouldn't feel pressured to be sexy or wear a swimsuit on stage because it's objectification, but they're overjoyed when they see their oppas lift their shirts and pour water all over their abs. So you're telling me that it's perfectly acceptable for a man to parade around semi-naked, but it is a crime against humanity for a woman to wear a swimsuit on stage? Fucking hypocrites.

I honestly don't know why I get so bothered by these comments when they're nothing but a bunch of a half-witted fangirls who only care about oppas bulge, but the idiocy is spreading. It's everywhere you go. I can't watch Jessica's performance without seeing comments about how she's a porn star or how she's prostituting herself. I mean, it's kind of funny to read comments like that when the person who is writing such comments has a display picture of their oppas bulge, but the stupidity makes me want to facepalm myself so hard. 

I'm not for a sexually fuelled entertainment industry where we can basically see everything and there's only a thong to prevent a music video from being classified as soft porn, but I see nothing wrong with wearing a swimsuit on stage. No one was calling CL a slut when she wore a swimsuit on Inkigayo (maybe that has something to do with her looking like a monkey and Jessica being hot as hell). 

If a female idol shouldn't be pressured to be sexy or provocative (and K-Pop rarely is provocative), she shouldn't be pressured (by fans) to not be sexy. Fangirls should take a break from the internet and stop trying to campaign for equality in K-Pop when they want two different things for each gender. They need to accept that equality means that if they want their oppas to be scantily clad (I hope not stripper clad) they need to accept that their are people out there who like seeing their noonas in swimsuits.
