Ep. 2- Do Black Lives Matter in K-Pop? Tartz take on Cultural Appropriation, Defining Fetishization, and more.
Description
Faye J & Tee_Nassty meet again to play a round of "Bop or flop" on some new music, and recap some of their recent favorite TV moments. They share the Tartz take on the two weeks after BTS & their Army fandom donated over 2 Million dollars in support of Black Lives Matter. The conversation segues to a discussion about if the recently energized fandoms are also asking if Black lives truly matter in K-pop and in other East Asian music industries. They unpack a few issues of cultural appropriation and antiblackness, and offer a few examples of artists becoming more accountable. They later discuss their working definition of Fetishization as it relates to fan-fiction and AMBW Smut stories. They wrap up by sharing some of the things they are looking forward to until the next episode. Thanks for listening!
