controversial kpop opinion
the hate jimin gets from kpop stans is rooted (rooted meaning developed from) in misogyny and homophobia. if you stopped and thought about it, you would know that attacking/insulting a man because of his feminine traits comes from the hatred of women. if your first instinct as a man or woman is to attack jimin for his feminine traits or sexuality then yes! you're just using him to be misogynistic and homophobic without repercussions. cuz tell me why pointing out feminine characteristics and "looking like a woman" is supposed to be an insult? it's bc of misogyny and how you consider these traits to be lesser than. jimin doesn't suffer from misogyny but the hate he gets is rooted from it. kpop gg stans always talking about toxic masculinity but then calling jimin a woman in an attempt to drag him..

i dont think “insulting a man because of his feminine traits comes from the hatred of women”, but rather originates from the idea that men MUST be masculine or it makes them “lesser” of a man (hence toxic masculinity). in that case, this would be more misandry than misogyny.
misandry would be the wrong choice of words tho mb
i dont particularly follow jimin or this issue at all, but id disagree that this is entirely misogynistic. personally, i dislike it when femininity or masculinity are categorized into genders. someone being feminine doesn’t necessarily mean they a woman (or a gay) and someone being masculine does make them a man (or lesbian). it feels more like undermining someones gender identity because of their traits not adhering to gender roles more. but yes, you could argue there are misogynistic undertones as it is an issue of gender. the same thing does happen to masculine women in cases where they can be insulted for “looking like a man”.
doesn’t make them a man**
