a serious letter on rpf, controversy, and kpopto whom i hope it concerns,i, the author, am completely aware of the problematic nature around real person fiction (rpf), rpf shipping, and many other problems surrounding kpop, including but not limited to: racism, colorism, sexism, and much more.i would like to make two things clear:1. the fanfiction and ideas i come up with (including ships!) are complete and utter fiction. i do not view these idols as objects nor wish to objectify them. i am merely using their characters/personas and images to evoke fiction found in fandom to create more fiction, and nothing more. i view this as being no different than writing any other fiction inspired by other real people, but i am aware that i am evoking images of these idols because i am using their names and images, but nothing more. i want to stress this because of the second point;2. i in no way support or tolerate when people express homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, or other gross ideas that go against the existence of other people. there's a lot of history with kpop and idols diminishing minority groups globally and this does affect who i choose to write about in my works. idols are people too, but they are not unaware of how their actions or words may affect other people, especially when those idols grew up outside of homogenous countries (like south korea, for example) or are appealing to global audiences regularly (like blackpink or bts).both of these notes largely point to something we say a lot, but may not inherently talk about as much: separating the art from the artist. fandom is built around creating an enjoyable escape or fantasy from non-fandom experiences. it's something that i personally love contributing to, but it's hard to write fictional stories invoking real people authentically when we do not know these people, and i would like to stress this especially: we do not know these people. what they choose to show on or off stage may be very different than who they are personally. i am not writing who these people are authentically, and that was never my plan to.however, i also do not wish to write any idols in villainous or antagonist roles even if they may have, in real life, done or said things that i disagree with (i.e., doing blackface, appropriating cultures and identities, etc.). i simply won't write them in at all, or, in the event past or new actions present themselves, i will replace them with other idols in my fics. i don't want to write idols who've done wrong in particularly antagonistic roles, but neither do i want to write them in favorable roles because their images do continue to invoke reactions from us as fans.but there is something we still need to talk more about in fandom, and particularly kpop fandom: colorism, racism, sexism, and appropriation. kpop is inherently appropriative of black american culture (see videos from adeola ash on youtube as examples, like this one for more information) and this issue continues to persist. as i write this, i'm still educating myself on the troubling and disappointing moments in many kpop groups as they've exhibited the above.problematickpop, though closed now, presents what i also believe and encourage among us, as fans: we shouldn't be so quick to send hate towards idols because of these moments, but try to contact their agencies and continue to reach them by writing what they've done, how it's wrong, and why they should apologize. apologies seem to feel meaningless these days, but we have to keep pushing for education against misconceptions that directly go against our rights as humans to simply exist without micro- and overt aggressions. it's disappointing, yes, but we don't become closer in the movement to equality and equity for all if we don't try to educate ourselves on these matters.this is a very important topic to me and one i want to continue to spread. there's a lot of intersectionality to this as well, but i encourage you, who may be reading this, to be open-minded and admit when your idols have done or said something wrong, and to try to hold them accountable. you can enjoy their music, their shows, the fiction we continue to write invoking their characters, but we should acknowledge and fight for the reality we base on them as well.thank you for reading, and i hope this has helped in some way. :)with much love,
m00ngl00m. <3p.s. i highly encourage reading this carrd centered around the idea of the hwasa hate paradigm which goes into the idea of intersectionality, but with kpop, sexism and racism.
