rant
I apologize for this rant.
Alright.
Lee Seunghoon, dear, you are my bias in WINNER. I love your variety skills, I love your face, I love your cute voice, I love your dancing and I love your choreographies. But you know, there is something I discovered that I do not love you for. Colorism. Body-shaming.
See, I get that you and Mino are friends, pretty close you seem. But I'm pretty sure everyone out there KNOWS that Song Minho does NOT like to be called out for the topics TAN and WEIGHT. He said it serval times already, when are you going to stop? At first, it might have been seen as a joke. But now? Now it's going too far. "My first impression of him was scary because of his tan skin. He didn't take care of it well." "You were 90kg before? Wow." etc etc. Please don't do this, Seunghoon. I WON'T stop supporting you but, really, this bothers me. Please don't do it anymore. I hope the future will only be bright from now on.
Now actually, this rant ain't about my boo Seunghoon. This is actually to the racist/ist/body-shaming/colorist/homophobic people out there.
Most important reason why racism is NOT okay:
- We are all ing human. You have a heart? You have a brain
(apperantly not)? Your average body-temperature is 37 degrees? You have the hormones of a Homo Sapien Sapien? Well congrats, you're human! One of the most intelligent creatures on this planet, aren't we blessed? Being able to do things on our own, discovering other things that we never even dreamed about before, being able to love this beautiful planet and the other creatures as well as fellow human-beings. There are billions of different creatures on this planet, and we were lucky enough to be human. Why miss-use it? Who the cares that you don't speak the same language? Who the cares that you're from another country? Who the cares that you look different from what people look in that small other part in this whole entire universe? I don't. Oh, you do? Well, you shouldn't. Because in the end of the day, WE ARE ALL HUMAN.
Most important reason why colorism is NOT okay:
- We are all ing human. You have a heart? You have a brain

There are billions of different creatures on this planet, and we were lucky enough to be human. Why miss-use it? Who the cares that you're a few shades darker than another? Who the cares that you are not Snow White? Who the cares that you need a bit more of Vitamin D than others? I don't. Oh, you do? Well, you shouldn't. Because in the end of the day, WE ARE ALL HUMAN.
Most important reason why ism is NOT okay:

There are billions of different creatures on this planet, and we were lucky enough to be human. Why miss-use it? Who the cares if you have veevee or a peepee (lol)? Who the cares that you might like the do sports a lot or that you might like to paint your nails? Who the cares that you have melons? Who the cares if in general you might have longer hair than the other gender? Who cares? I don't. Oh, you do? Well, you shouldn't. Because in the end of the day, WE ARE ALL HUMAN.

Who the cares if food doesn't attract you as much as it does to others? Who the cares that your body just doesn't want to gain or lose weight? Who the cares if you might have to wear a size bigger or smaller? I don't. Oh, you do? Well, you shouldn't. Because in the end of the day, WE ARE ALL HUMAN.
Most imporant reason why being a negative homophobe is NOT okay:
- We are all ing human. You have a heart? You have a brain

There are billions of different creatures on this planet, and we were lucky enough to be human. Why miss-use it? Who the cares if you might like the same gender? Who the cares if you don't get wet because of ? Who the cares if you don't get hard because of s? Who the cares if you tend to love your own more than the opposite? "You're too young to decide your ual preference, you're stuck with the hormones." said NO ONE to the hetero teenager. Then why tell it a lesbian or gay teenager? Just tell me why? Are you the one loving who they love? NO. So why would you have a word on it? It's the feeling THEY get, and guess what? IT AIN'T ANY OF YOUR BUISNESS. So why do you care so much? Since when is loving someone a sin? Something that we have no control over, a feeling that takes over our body and mind, how is that wrong? How can we, ourselves, have a word on it? We don't. Neither do people who fall in love with the same . In the end of the day, WE. ARE. ALL. HUMAN.
I can't believe that schools DO NOT teach these topics well. This is the basic guide to being A NORMAL HUMAN BEING. A normal human being is not "being pale-skinned" "being fat or thin" "loving the other gender" "thinking that you have more right and say on anything just because there's another thing in your pants" "thinking you've got more right and say on anything because the other is from somewhere else" it's not about being something you are not.
It's about being yourself. It's about being intelligent enough to REALISE that it's FINE to be different than the general. It's about accepting others. It's about trying to socialize with those who are not like you. It's about anything that does not contain negativity. We, ourselves, as selfish and cocky human beings, created that negativity. We created the stereotype. Now since we all start to became a little more intelligent to realise it, let's make a difference. The difference in what HAS BEEN a sad reallity, and what IS our beautiful society. Of course, this wish will never be fully granted as there will always be some party-poopers out there. But every little step is another step closer.
Alright, I get that anyone can have his or her own opinion or preference. But really, there is a great wall between that and the topics I mentioned earlier.
Well, that's all I'm saying for now.
