You see, looking at the last article, fanboys are starting to come under fire. However, it must not be forgotten how bad fangirls are and what they do to kpop. I would probably like Korean boybands ten times as much if it weren't for fangirls. What do I mean?

There are plenty more examples but I think you know already.
I really don't think it's a case of bad concepts. Fangirls seem to actually WANT this stuff. Aside from being plain awful, there is a general trend of turning young men into young women...
...and the fangirls LOVE IT. I can only assume that this is because female kpop idols are so incredibly smoking hot that fangirls want to get in on that action without being gay. Thus, we get male idols dressing like girls, acting like girls, singing like girls (although, to be fair, rather than the agency playing to fangirls, I think Heechul is actually into being a girl) and how is a masculine guy to respond to this?
I'd rather sing along with a Rainbow song and have the excuse of it being a girl song than sing along to these male idols as if it were somehow cool for a guy. Truly, if a girl sings and dances with girl groups, it teaches her how to be incredibly hot and cute. If a guy sings and dances along with guy groups, it teaches him how to be a total asshat. That is purely the result of the twisted desires of fangirls, as you can see what a man expressing himself according to his own choices looks like with Rain, Jay Park, Taeyang, Seungri, etc.
