The street woman fighter sub Reddit wont let me post about it so I am here. I don't know if there will be people here to listen but I just need an outlet to let it all out, because I'm so fucking tired. Maybe it's because I only see the international side and don't see the Korean side of the audiences, my feed is full of hate comments towards Bumsup. Bumsup have been getting hate even before the show aired. All this assumptions about them winning the show because mnet won't let foreigners win. The assumption that these Non-Korean dancers were far ahead of them in every aspect to exist. The assumption that Bumsup are getting sympathy edits as if they weren't put under stress for the show at all. It is only bad judgement when it rules in favour for Bumsup but it isn't a bad judgement when Hyojin loses against harmz (who was obviously the weaker one there). They get undermined every single episode no matter how good or bad they do. I won't complain about the worst dancer fiasco because I do not agree with the Rie Hata hate either but I do believe honey J was just unlucky on this one. Honey J had a better choreo in my opinion but I'm not mad about that, I'm mad about the fact that even after showing her high points she was constantly disrespected by these audience for not giving it all in few instances. People have more sympathy for the group that recycled their old choreos for every piece of dance performance they showed wether it be a battle or mission. Even when Bumsup do great, they're undermined. They had the best mega crew mission (argue with a wall not me), yet everyone is still like oh they had big budget, oh they just copied 1 million (1 million's concept is so effing different from Bumsup), oh mnet is going to make them win, oh Koreans are going to push the video, even after performing the effing best. It just feels like racism/xenophobic at this point. Another one that I remember is when some of the Bumsup members were talking about how the other dancers have big hips, and everyone lost their minds over it. They're talking about how their moves might not look as impactful. As someone who dances, your body does affect how your overall performance looks. It's not like a good/bad thing. It could look good in some instance and bad in other: tall people or people with long limbs could look awkward sometimes when put next to someone shorter or with shorter limbs. In the same way a small person might not look as powerful when putting the same amount of energy as a big person while dancing. I'm even ready to admit that maybe that statement was still distasteful because why should they talk about someone else's body, but when there were comments made about Bumsup's physical appearance I didn't hear a squeak. Aiki was called Chucky's daughter unprompted. If we're going to criticize Bumsup for making comments about someone's appearance, the same should be done when someone else does it, but I really didn't see that from these international fans. By the end of the show, even if Bumsup improves and performs better and comes in top 3 instead of winning, people are still going to undermine them. I just feel so much rage and anger for them. One last thing that I really don't understand is, if you think it is rigged, why watch it in the first place? Why talk about the show? Why give mnet the clout? I have nothing but appreciation for all the dancers that came on this show. I'm just really really tired of the Bumsup hate train that nobody wants to talk about. submitted by /u/West_Yesterday1053 [link] [comments]
