The Sexualization of Male Teen Idols
Tumblr media
So, I'm currently making an article on how many male celebrities who were teens when they became famous (like Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, Taylor Lautner, etc.) were extremely sexualized and violated by grown adults and fans at a young age. I want to talk about the effects that kind of exposure took on the men and how (or more so, why) was this behavior seen as acceptable for so long.
Did you know that Taylor Lautner was only 16/17 years old when the first Twilight released in 2008? Do you remember how crazy women were acting around him?
Have you ever seen this video of teenage Justin Bieber being groped by actress Jenny McCarthy? Or listened to the radio interview of a grown woman asking 15 year old JB if she can have the "sex talk" with him?
Recently, this topic has been talked about on platforms like Tiktok and Twitter, but I think its need a bit more spotlight. Male victimhood in the entertainment industry should be speak about more often. Why was it normal to make teenager boys uncomfortable? Why was it percieved as a funny bit and not predatory?

TH1RTE3N'S TH30R1E5: The Paldea-Kalos War and GameFreak's Subtle Storytelling
BY NUMBER TH1RTE3N
Pokémon is not known for its storytelling. The creature-collecting titan doesn’t have a history of crafting complex narratives in their main series games. There have been exceptions to this trend throughout the series’ twenty-seven years. Pokémon Black & White and sequels Black 2 & White 2 tell a bittersweet tale that grappled with a compelling question; which was better: a world built of truths, or ideals? In the Sinnoh Region, Cyrus led Team Galactic to terrorize the people and was barely stopped before his goal of using Dialga and Palkia to destroy the current universe and create another to replace it as its new god was achieved. No big deal!
Pokémon does have a history of making references to serious, sometimes dark events that occur in the world. Lieutenant Surge is Vermillion City’s gym leader, and a… war veteran? What? Where’d “war” come from? Does this imply that there are wars in this fictional world, and that both Pokémon and humans fight in those wars, and sometimes they may even DIE in those wars and need to be buried in places like the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town? Is that a RAICHU???
Despite this endless potential for exploration, Pokémon strays little from its timeless (some Pokémon fans may say “tired”) story formula: start in Place A, pick starter, battle rival, catch Pokémon on the way to Place B thru Z, battle random trainers and a team of bad guys, become the biggest, baddest trainer in the region, rinse and repeat until there are no more Pokémon to catch nor trainers to fight. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet broke away from this tradition more than any previous title with its open-world gameplay though this formula is obviously still widely accessible and fun for at the very least 22 million people as of May.
What about other Pokémon fans that see its narrative potential? The ones that pour through all the game text, looking for the messages hidden by the developers inside of every trash can, lore book, and NPC conversation in every game? Those people sense something buried deep beneath the surface, and as of this latest entry in the series, they may finally get their wish. They'll just have to look inside… a crater?
Enter: The Paldea-Kalos War.
In Pokémon X & Y, the player learns that the Kalos Region was at war with a “neighboring nation” in ancient times. Desperate to decisively end the war, AZ created the Ultimate Weapon, and used it. The Ultimate Weapon released enough energy to create mega stones and spur mega evolution, and it is heavily theorized the Ultimate Weapon was the catalyst for the timeline split referenced in the Delta Episode of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. Something that powerful had to leave a mark, right?
In Scarlet & Violet, Area Zero is a post-game zone located within the Great Crater of Paldea. In the game, the player learns that Paldea was a mighty empire brought low. This begs the question: brought low by what exactly? Maybe something that breaks timelines? Given that there is some evidence that Paldea and Kalos are geographically connected within the world of Pokémon, if it is true that the Great Crater of Paldea was caused by the Kalos Region's Ultimate Weapon attack, it would be the juiciest mystery to ever be thought up by GameFreak, and allow for some absolutely thrilling storytelling through its implications.
If Pokémon were to ever expand its storytelling potential, now would be the perfect time. If the events of several mainline Pokémon games were influenced by firing a weapon so powerful it tore a hole into the Paldea Region, and the Pokémon timeline itself, that would be nothing short of narrative genius. Pokémon will always be timeless, but it has the opportunity to be so much more if it embraces its storytelling potential: immortal.

I can feel my heart shatter the room. I can feel the love rot out of my chest. Something broke so completely, it changed me. I’ve ran this scene so many times, what emotion do I have left to process? My love can rot and die in my chest, or I can love myself.
I’ve ran this blog for ten years. I’ve had many awesome people message me with words of encouragement that I still hold very close. After all this time, I want to believe I’m more.
Those two paragraphs were written a month ago. The day after he admitted he loves someone else (if she somehow found my blog, good luck with that lol). The day my childhood dog died, and just before my beloved cat’s health took another scary downturn. 
I got a freelance writing job a few days ago. My boyfriend can do what he wants but I’m not giving up on myself, no matter how many times he tells me he thinks I can’t do it. I can’t control what he does but I can control what I do. This is my chance. I’m spreading my wings and I am not stopping til I can live a life where I never have to rely on another cheating, lying, or abusive person ever again.
If you or anyone else you know needs a writer, I can help you! 
I have experience as both a writer in the healthcare, education, and travel niches. However, I’m very open to researching and writing a wide variety of topics. Please send me a message if you’re interested in working together. I’m not sure how active the freelance writing community is on Tumblr, but it’s worth a try. Thank you for reading this far. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this blog, it means the absolute world to me.

Did the worldwide sensation BTS truly pave the way?
Bangtan Sonyeondan (방탄소년단), Widely known as BTS are a boy group that originated in Seoul, South Korea on June 12 2013 with their debut, No More Dream.
BTS are known to being extremely talented artists whom have released what their fans call "bop after bop." They came to fame internationally after the release of DNA in 2017. This song is what assisted BTS into becoming the worldwide sensation they are.
There has been many claims on who has managed to open the "door" for KPOP to be known internationally. However, the real question is what actually is paving the way? According to kpop fans "paving the way" means whoever increased KPOP's visibility internationally to all the other parts of the world. Merriam Webster however states the definition of "to make it easier for someone or something." In this sense then the answer would yes, BTS did pave the way. However other fans beg to differ.
There has been suggestions by others that just because BTS have managed to build their own success then they did just that: building their own success and not anyone's else. ARMY begs to differ as they state that without BTS' success and breakthrough with their music, then to this day KPOP will still not been known.
This ongoing debate has caused a lot of tensions among existing fandoms as this debate seems to be neverending. A few KPOP artists have voiced up their thoughts on the issue and the responses are as follows.
"This is your generation now." Seo Taiji (founder of Kpop)
"I believe the group who broke all stereotypes is BTS" Kim Dongwan, Shinhwa.
"The fact that they [BTS] opened up those doors and cleared the way for us, it's a huge hope for us." Ailee.
"BTS paved the way and gave us an opportunity to become more known.." Twice
"BTS have paved the way really well" KARD
"BTS really paved the way for us and other kpop acts." Monsta X.
And many many more.
The most shocking aspect of this was that even the President of South Korea has openly expressed his gratitude to BTS' effort and success. He stated that "Korean popular music has made a leap forward on the world stage thanks to BTS."
Another misconception with this topic is that many seem to misunderstand what ARMY truly means by paving the way. Many have taken it to being BTS taking all the credit for everything that has happened in KPOP as well as discrediting other groups' efforts.
Despite artists themselves expressing their feelings towards the situation, some kpop fans still claim that it is not true. However judging by the above compliments as well as the now booming popularity of this genre, the question still lies: Did BTS really pave the way?
The answer is yes.

TH1RTE3N'S TR4V3L5: In The Shadow of the Dragon-God
BY NUMBER TH1RTE3N
I have been playing video games my whole life. Since I could pick up a controller with my grubby little toddler hands, the medium has never been far from my grasp. From my first adventures in gaming where I would watch my older cousin play the original Kingdom Hearts on the PlayStation 2, to getting my very own PS2 for my fourth birthday and playing Jurrasic Park: Operation Gensis well into my childhood nights (yes, I DID let my dinos run loose and eat my park-goers, thank you very much). In all my years of playing games across countless genres and developers, there have been few times in my life where playing a game has made me gasp, drop my jaw, make my breath catch in my chest, let a “wow” spill forth from my lips.
Climbing the western edge of the Gerudo Highlands for the first time in Breath of the Wild was one of those times for me. I was following my red pin towards a Sheikah Tower that I needed to unlock. Kind of. I was sort of aimless, wandering the rolling hills of Hyrule, doing that thing I do best when I play massive open-world games like BOTW. That thing being, wandering aimlessly towards the loose direction of my initial objective. I love to lose myself in games. To explore every corner of the map, to drink in the scenery, admire how the score compliments the situations I encounter, and I ESPECIALLY read every bit of lore I can find. Well, at least I try to (looking at you BioWare!) As games get bigger and more grand, and with the apparent renaissance of the open world genre across the industry, I am very grateful for lore journals and notebooks becoming a standard practice.
Tumblr media
Wandering through the Great Hyrule Forest for the first time certainly made me say “wow”... sometimes out of frustration!
It was on one of these wanderings that I crested a hill in the Highlands, not even sprinting and using up my stamina, but more slowly and with care, in a strange pseudo-reverence to the talented artists and engineers that built the world that I was wandering in. I remember stepping over the hill with my game camera pointed to what was behind Link. I turned the camera to a gorgeous view of Lake Hylia at sunset. It was a stunning sight, one I decided I would stop and admire for a few seconds. Many real people with real lives and real love for  the Legend of Zelda series spent many real hours of their lives on making sure that the wind blew through the grass on the Highlands at just the right speed, and that the crickets chirped at the right pitch and volume. Someone had to make sure the sunset was the right shade of orange, and I intended to be the one to make note of its hues.
I noticed something right then, out of the corner of my right eye. How long had it been there? My reaction was to turn my camera quickly. Was it an enemy that I hadn’t encountered? Some new form of Guardian? Heavens forbid… what if it was another keese swarm?! My eyes adjusted as the motion blur from the camera pan settled. What I saw wasn’t a new enemy; guardian, keese or otherwise. It was… wait… what is that? Is that a dragon? OH MY GOSH THAT’S A DRAGON!!! And a dragon it was. Snaking its way out from beneath Lake Hylia, was the yellow-green visage of Farosh. 
My first experience with a Zelda game was in 2013, playing Wind Waker HD on the WiiU. The admittedly charming themed console was pre-loaded with a copy of Hyrule Historia, Nintendo’s attempt at weaving a cohesive narrative from the notoriously incohesive franchise. Like I said, I am nothing if not a lore nerd. At that point, I had been a bit-more-than-casual Zelda fan, and had taken some forays into the “Zelda timeline” YouTube holes, where I spent a bit (read: many dozens of hours) of time.
Tumblr media
Seeing the Temple of Time in Ruins after fighting Ganondorf within its halls in Wind Waker HD was jarring to say the least.
It’s moments in games like these that I find myself reflecting on what gaming is to me as a medium. I could have experienced a serpentine dragon-god rising from a lakebottom in a fantasy novel, sure no problem. Heck, I probably have already, who knows these days with all these dragon shows and their houses and stuff! But it wasn’t in a novel. My meeting with Farosh wasn’t planned or scripted. Someone hadn’t written it, published the scene, edited that moment with flowery language until it fit their perspective of what the author thought a mighty creature being revealed might look like. It was my wanderings, a beautifully blank canvas left to uncover built with the love and attention of the people that made Breath of the Wild a reality, that allowed me to cross paths with the dragon. Watching Farosh ascend to light up the skies above Lake Hylia was something I will never forget. I will admit, when starting Tears of the Kingdom this past week, I was nervous that my breath would be measured, that my footfalls would be quicker, that I would press the sprint button more and the camera button less. Thankfully, I can say that is not the case, and I cannot wait to pick my jaw off of the floor once more.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!
If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!
