Though I think the overall point of their ask was to derail, the one anon who referred to the language of Feminoonas “About Me” being problematic since none of the admins are South Korea is correct on that point.

I am personally very specific in trying to engage and discuss fandom and other related things with a blatant stamp on my opinions and posts denoting the fact that I am NOT Korean either ethnically or by nationality, and I am a Western fan. That bias needs to be personally taken into account an voiced when commenting on social issues, especially since there is a bad precedent of “American/Western Feminists Talking Down To Brown/Black Folks And Telling Them Their Culture Isn’t As Progressive Or Awesome As Theirs”. Even though I’m not white and come from an immigrant Latino family, I can still misstep or misspeak and say things from an ignorant or biased perspective. All Western fans can and often do. This is a problem in fandom.

If anything, this blog is an energetic attempt talk about fandom from a Western, socially conscious perspective so as to bridge a divide and foster healthy and non-appropriative interactions between different peoples and cultures. We can’t promise we won’t mess up but we’ll do our best to keep ourselves in check and be culturally and personally conscious about things.

I or one of the other admins will get about to changing the about me section to reflect the above stated sentiment more clearly.
