Photo op #4 in a row! She’s on a roll guys
I wonder how long till people start seeing how she’s literally using this as a photo press tour for her woke brand.

If Juuggin has been kicked out of Korea, it's one less member of their clique street harassing women which is like a third of the reported stories about these guys in this thread.

Wichuu added a post in a topic bestdressed/ ashley
You'll be surprised how many people like Ashley exist in the academic field, i don't want to take from her effort here (i know the US has really crazy methods and specifics for applications and college acceptance) but i really REALLY think the fact that her parents are very successful academics helped her a lot to get accepted, even in my country i knew some people in university, who were children of academic professors in the same institution, that was just plain stupid and the most analytic thing they could process were things like "patriarchy bad, racism bad". privilege is really a thing that helps people like Ashley get into college even if they aren't that great or talented (her film stuff is really underwhelming) just look at people like Olivia jade, or the legacy kids and rich kids that can afford donations for the universities they want, hell even having both parents that have a college education is a form of privilege.
a little off topic but i saw this on twitter and i immediately thought of Ashley lol:

"Very sad. I'm sure your mother is disappointed" wtf you maple-flavored turd!?
What about YOUR mother? Ain't she disappointed that you basically spent the past decade (?) going out of your way to bully people online and in real life? And get the fuck outta here you self-appointed language snob, that viewer knows at least two languages even if their level in English isn't the best.
That's better that some white dude lying their way through life, hiding their wife and kid, harassing people who decide to unfollow, putting themselves on top of others and all for what? Just a manager position in some language school and a shred of YouTube fame?
Was it worth it you narc? Hope that more and more people see what an unhinged person you are.
(I'm not even Italian and I feel a bit offended on behalf of people from Milan lol)

I haven't been keeping up much with BP or their fandom as much as I used to, so pardon if this question has already been answered on here by someone:
Since when was maeng first employed as their makeup artist?
After all the backlash she's been getting, you'd start wondering why she's still working for YGE. Have the girls simply grown attached to her and that's playing a role, however teeny it may be, on her seemingly stable employment? Is it because she works at a famous hair & makeup salon?
It's just beyond my comprehension how they could hire a mua who lacks the dexterity in fulfilling a job she's supposed to excel at, being her field of expertise (which, we can safely say by now, it's not).

Acchan's lips added a post in a topic General Venus Angelic Thread #4
Plus, did she forget his "epic hentai relationship" she pretended he had (or was it about Ken) ?
Even if he is asexual (I noticed before she and Marge often speak about the asexuality as something bad or shameful), she must have know it before marrying him.
Of course but, first she spoke about being sad to have had to wait this long before having known "the taste of a dick" then she claimed not knowing how to do a fellatio. Everything she say is bullshit.
I doubt Ken the pedo would have let her live at his place in exchange of bad blowjobs or else.

Why does yasu seems to only stare at the camera every time he appears in a photo with mikan but never looks at mikan the way she looks at him? I don't see much romance in his eyes 👀

Marinrin added a post in a topic General Venus Angelic Thread #4
I don’t get it....
If her story is true she tried to have vaginal sex 2 (!!!) times. Don’t almost all females feel pain during their first time (and sometimes even a few times after that)?? Isn’t it broadly known that your first time “hurts”?? Some girls even feel pain when they first start using tampons....
I’m sure she doesn’t have vaginismus and that she’s just talking bullshit again!
Also sorry but I don’t buy that “manaki is asexual” stuff. He was a fan of her for years! She was his dream waifu... I’m sure she is just saying that now to justify not having had sex with her HUSBAND despite being “such a slut”

smh. you seem to wholeheartedly be under the impression that if a celebrity couple receives public confirmation of their relationship then that is somehow proof that the people involved are in a true-blue love affair and that coincidences take on meaning but lemme go ahead and burst that little delusional bubble. you do realise that the entire purpose of promance/fauxmance media play is to publicly reveal a pairing between two well-known individuals with the goal of boosting their media presence and/or to hide truths regarding homosexuality and/or other proclivities that would be ruinous to a celebrity’s established image. pr don’t work if the public is not discussing the couple and for that to happen then first the couple has to be unveiled to the public.
tale as old as time...or at least as old as the hollywood studio system and the k-entertainment world follows the same exact beats of generating publicity that hollywood does. why? because the tactics work. more often than not, the celebrity pairing is between an already popular ship among fandoms or the general public and are publicly revealed just when the two celebs have new projects to peddle. and since we are specifically discussing jenkai - what did jennie and kai have to promote at the time...welp, that would be her solo and upcoming blackpink world tour and he had a new exo album release and super m project in the works. plus i ain’t even gonna touch on the details but the fact is that each of them also had their own individual swirling rumors and controversies to untangle from. all of which were forgotten with the so-called outing of their relationship - to the surprise to no one who knows how the entertainment world publicity machine works. there is no easier way to distract and divert public attention and to arouse the curiosity of the celebrity-obsessed public than with the idea of romance between two rich and beautiful people. everyone loves a celebrity love story. fandoms feel as if their dreams are made reality. it is a win-win situation. the media outlets get their scoop which generates more sales and clicks for them and the agencies and celebrities receive publicity. and i know this may come to you as a shock but majority of the time, the celebs who are reported as having romantic dinners together or going on moonlit walks hand-in-hand barely know each other. also i hate to ruin the illusion for you but they absolutely know the paparazzi is there because their reps call the paps in advance to come out to where the fake celeb couple are so that they can snap aesthetically staged photos and video of them on not-so-secret dates.
you misrepresented the k-celeb couples that you mentioned here. but before i get to that i just wanna point out that lovestagrams do not exist. lovestagrams are a lie invented by fandoms who desperately search for clues and codes to pin down a timeline and confirm for them that a celebrity couple was secretly communicating their love to the fans all along and broadcasting in front of the world but only people who are clever enough can figure it out. fans created a whole instagram fiction between baekhun and taeyeon because apparently some people think that she would have felt the need to sub-post about him and that there was proof of their relationship hidden in how she lined up her personalised coffee mugs. there was also weird significance. placed on the fact that both baekhyun and taeyeon liked oreo cookies. seriously. sure is weird that two people would like a popular cookie. kai has never posted about jennie. the only kai that jennie has mentioned is her dog. fans also dreamed up the scenario that jennie was the person who photographed him in a pic he uploaded back in november 2018 with absolutely no proof of this being true. most times celebrities - especially idols - either have social media managers or very limited control of their social media. this is because they are not representing their individual self but the image of who the brand wants them to be for the public. their sns posts are there to promote the brand aesthetic and to communicate with fans and typically have to be approved by managers being posted online. of course there will be similarities between accounts across social media because people in the same industry have the similar aesthetics and generally share similar interests or follow what is trending.
park shin hye and choi tae joon had been rumoured to be dating for over a year and had been photographed by the public on various dates, and other outings. including several overseas trips where he held her purse as he was walked behind her. they were pretty much a couple that everyone was aware of and what prompted them to disclose their relationship is when dispatch falsely published that she was dating lee jong suk and the public was clamouring for that ship to the point of where it was causing her real life discomfort especially because the two had to promote their project together. soo-young and jung kyung-ho had also been rumoured to be dating for years and had been photographed by the public on various dates. they specifically got tired of denying the relationship because it was serious and had been on-going for years. neither one of the couples made any efforts to be discreet and had been outed via the public for years prior to any dispatch reporting. there was and is nothing secretive going on in any one of these people’s social media postings.
the cartier band worn by jennie has also been worn by lisa and jisoo and jungkook of bts. the ring kai wore was gucci. and i fail to see the significance of someone wearing a ring on his or her ring finger. that’s normally where people wear rings. kai has worn several cartier watch designs but for some odd reason jenkai fans are stuck on the one time that he wore a cartier watch that was similar to hers. the so-called couple‘s shirt is a popular vetements design and other idols have been photographed in the same shirt. vetements sends a lot of merch to stylists. i have seen the same videos the you keep pointing out as proof and sorry but you are connecting dots which are not there.
i wrote a whole ass dissertation. i'm tired. the last point i will make is you can believe what you want to believe but the image you see from celebrities is the image that you are meant to see. the role of the celebrity is to present an idealized perfected view of reality and that includes perfectly crafted phony romances. do not believe everything you see or hear because the media tells you it is true. it’s all just smoke and mirrors.

I recently saw a well-known cosplayer and prop maker with a severe history of scamming folks pop up in a Facebook Group trying to push his GofundMe to probably scam more cosplayers out of money with a sob story, but then remember there's a giant thread to show you his history!
If you order props be careful of this guy, goes by Jim Logan, Logan Props, Snikt Shop, Outlaw Produx, JLFX Studios, Jim LoganFX, and I Am Your Heroes (Real Name: David Winant)

Marinrin added a post in a topic Manaki
I wouldn’t be too worried. Manaki didn’t have any known/public social media before Venus made an account for him. I’m also sure that his accounts were, at least partially, run by her. His followers consisted to 99% of people who came over from Venus’ social media. They followed him because they were fans of Venus! They attacked him because Venus slandered him publicly etc...
After their “divorce”+Venus claims I can 100% understand why he isn’t on social media anymore. Her hardcore fans would rip him apart!
Even if he made a public statement he wouldn’t stand a chance against her whiteknights...
Manaki also never seemed confident or comfortable in front of the camera. I’m sure he did it for Venus because she wanted to be one of those cool interracial YouTube couples or because she wanted to show the world her JAPANESE husband.
Venus recently said that she is still a Virgin (idk if it’s a lie though) and if it’s true that she never slept with manaki in their happy years of marriage I feel bad for him. We all know that she married him for the visa but that statement makes it look like she hasn’t been attracted to him at all!
I also imagine Venus rarely cooked and cleaned or did other housework and she also barely uploaded videos at that time.

whateverman added a post in a topic bestdressed/ ashley
I agree. at first, I thought I would get too annoyed watching someone defend Ashley for 15 minutes, but I decided to give it a chance to change my mind -- and to be honest, it made me madder. I wrote a whole response but it was just rehashing the points that we make in this thread. she justifies Ashley's actions by saying "oh it's Ashley's choice to sell PR" "oh it's on US, the viewers, for misinterpreting Ashley's comments about how hard she works and her family's background" "we're all in a capitalist society anyway so she might as well profit off of it" (wait what--?) "yeah, she sees fashion week as out of touch and elitist, but at the same time, who's going to say no to going to fashion week?"
I'm sorry, but these are all such dumb arguments made in defense of Ashley. if I built my brand and my channel on thrifting and championing sustainable ideals (though she didn't say she was going to be 100% sustainable, as her fans point out), speaking out about larger issues (e.g. capitalism), AND proceeded to critique NYFW by calling it elitist and out-of-touch (despite dedicating 3 videos to it and rubbing shoulders with Karlie Kloss KUSHNER and Derek Blasberg), honestly, I wouldn't go. I really wouldn't unless there was a reason to or if it could contribute to my content somehow, e.g. a show spearheaded by a POC designer or a completely sustainable brand. And the thing is, this user said she WOULD go to NYFW if she was invited -- SO??? She's not a thrifting fashion YouTuber who criticizes capitalism despite the fact that her entire brand is built on perpetuating the system. go to NYFW if you were invited, that's not a relevant argument here???
the user also brushed off the housewives comments by being like "yeah what she said is a little disrespectful but she does NOT have an inflated sense of herself as an influencer" and goes on to defend Ashley by saying that she does have a lot of influence and is that important and inspirational to other people with her videos and editing. wait, so if Ashley is THAT important and THAT influential, all of her other actions and statements are okay? there's this disconnect like "Ashley's super important -- but give her a break!" are we not supposed to hold influencers accountable then? Do we just give them a free pass because....? in the end, she just concludes that Ashley is good at editing and making her videos and puts in all that time and effort. oh okay, I suppose that's it. THAT'S why we can give Ashley a free pass. Never mind the fact that she blames all of her problems on other people/things (e.g. her public education schooling, society at large, etc), makes tone-deaf comments about race, virtue signals (sorry, i mean VALUE SIGNALS), makes hypocritical statements, puts down other people, etc, etc, it's all okay because she's good at editing. Okay, well, I think we're good here, we found the answer. Time to close the thread 🙄

PeanutButterr added a post in a topic bestdressed/ ashley
people have said this before on here but despite her stellar academic record it seems like she really lacks any sort of critical thinking or self-awareness. i guess it shows that getting accepted to an Ivy doesn't always equate actual intelligence.
she always absolves herself of any responsibility and deflects it onto society at large, and says things that "expose" her past self for no good reason whatsoever other than to show people "Look at me society made me think this way but I've learned so much and come so far," like blaming her ignorance of racial issues on public schools or her misogyny on romcoms or some bs like "girls just weren't considered cool in high school" (from her how to be single video)
sidenote the message of that book she recommended called The Coddling of the American Mind seems to have been completed lost on her if she can't even stand any sort of attempt to question her responsibility or transparency in her comment section, no matter how insignificant
