i've been thinking about this again these days, and even though it seems like most people have moved on from it and labelled the incident as just that, a mistake, i can't really wrap my head around the fact that she had the 3 symbols of the party in one post, days away from the election (anticipated elections, after the former right wing president declared martial law!). i know she "apologised" on the paid platform bubble and later addressed it again on a youtube show, but i just genuinely cannot believe someone can be that ignorant- it's quite baffling, no? also, whether or not the far-right people power party (ppp) in south korea reflects her views and the post was intentional, sm would've made her apologise for it, regardless if she wanted to or not (like they did when she was in a relationship). moreover, incels and members of said party immediately assumed she was showing support for them and their ideology with that post and took her under their wing right away, which shows how clear the symbolism was to people who actually use it. it's impossible to argue that it wasn't even that blatant when most of the party's base of support and the party itself acknowledges it as an endorsement. in my opinion, the way to properly address it (if it somehow really was an ignorant mistake) was to directly distance herself from the ppp. a vague statement only allows those who proudly embraced her as “one of them” to keep pretending her apology was just fan service rather than an actual rejection of those views. i know most people will say i'm nitpicking or that it has been long enough to just forget about it, but i felt like i should mention since it does cross my mind every time i see aespa content. what do you guys think? submitted by /u/aquamarinesea222 [link] [comments]
