So… can we talk about the backlash Eunbi is getting after her Waterbomb performance? you can watch it on YouTube, maybe I'm too woke. Because the internalized misogyny flying around is WILD. I-netizens are out here being supportive, playful even “protecting her from men,” celebrating her confidence, and admiring the fact that she’s owning her body and her stage presence. Meanwhile, k-netizens and disturbingly, a large portion of them being women are tearing her down for the same thing. I’ve seen actual comments saying she’s “set back women’s rights in Korea by a decade.” Are you kidding me? Because she dared to show confidence in her body? Because she chose to be sexy on her own terms? This is not feminism. Policing women’s choices under the guise of "protecting feminism" is the most twisted form of internalized misogyny. Eunbi isn’t being objectified she’s claiming the spotlight, taking control of her image, and performing like a pro. She’s not doing this for the male gaze. She’s doing it because she’s an artist, and sexy doesn’t mean submissive or anti-feminist. It’s honestly exhausting how Korean society still can’t handle women being confident without immediately reducing them to threats to morality or “bad influences.” Let women be multifaceted. Let them be soft, strong, sexy, talented all at once. To Eunbi: you killed it. And to the women hating on her please take a moment to reflect on whether you’re angry at her, or at the freedom she has that you’ve been taught to fear. submitted by /u/chrisomi9 [link] [comments]
