The more despair I endure in life, the more I love Frodo. I'm just. I'm so glad that Tolkien wrote him like that. He was a hero and it broke him. He was given too much to carry. The circumstances were dire, everyone was doing the best they could, and Frodo tried so hard, for such a good cause, and he...broke. And the narrative has pity for him, the characters show him kindness. Even after victory, his hurts did not heal, and it isn't considered his fault. He must go to the undying lands, to seek out peace there. In universe, he is forgiven for being human - don't be pedantic - and his great torment is recognized. He fell. He could not have done it alone. He is still a hero.

And, I think that's important.

This February, we asked members of the @blackintokpop coalition of K-pop podcasters to share their personal experiences as Black K-pop fans and professionals. We’ll publish their stories, all in their own words, throughout the month right here on @kpop.

This week’s post is brought to you by Bora of ​​Hwaiting! Words: Unpopular K-pop Opinions—check it out below ⬇️

A year or so after my jump from K Hip-Hop to K-pop, I met my co-hosts Lars and Destiny, and we started our podcast. As the main host and producer, I managed our social media accounts. This was the first time I deviated from Tumblr for K-pop-related content. On one site in particular, stuff hits the fan fast, especially if you’re a Black fan, and when you’re on that site long enough, you see some things. You see your mutuals get harassed or even doxxed for the simplest things. You hear about idols and K-celebs who have been culturally insensitive or appropriative in what feels like real-time. You see K-pop fans jump through hula hoops to explain why K-pop companies shouldn’t have to address certain social issues that affect Black fans…it’s crazy.  For Black fans who use that site, most of us go through this thing I call “the point.” The point is when you’ve dealt with so much nonsense from the K-pop fandom world, you have to decide how to move forward. Some people go the un-stanning route—they choose to stop stanning a group they once loved due to how they’ve been treated by other fans, or they minimize the amount of K-pop they consume as a whole. Other people create boundaries and respond to nonsense with laughter. I’m in this boat. It’s not that I don’t care that a person, idol, or group did something stupidly offensive. I just choose to protect my peace and mental well-being by laughing it off. (Some might consider this to be gallows humor.) Thirdly, we have those who choose to go guns ablazing. These are usually the newly enlightened Black fans who just realized their fave has a history of wearing blackface or dreadlocks. These fans are troopers. They’ll argue with every ignorant K-pop fan they encounter on the timeline. Call out people who are complicit in racism in K-pop on Spaces. Give a piece of their mind while quote-retweeting screenshots of now-deleted tweets. No one is safe from their wrath. Not all Black fans go through “the point.” There are a lot of people out there who are “lost in the sauce.” For those of us who do go through it, there is no one right way to respond to prejudice and strife. We just encourage anyone who needs an oasis to check out Black Into K-pop. We’re creating a safe space for you.

Thanks for sharing your story with us, Bora! If you want more from Hwaiting! Words: Unpopular K-pop Opinions, you can find it here—and stick with us as we highlight more from @blackintokpop throughout February.
