I’ve checked out Stitch’s website today and started bookmarking things to read later left and right. Here are two things I did read right away:

An article on the origin of the "poor little meow meow" meme/format/phrase which I previously used for a screencap of My Roommate is a Detective here (this also reminded me that I didn‘t post them here on Dreamwidth. Will fix that later this week).

Read it here on Stitch‘s website

I did not expect it to come out of BTS fandom.

A spoilery review of Wakanda Forever (cw: grief). I haven‘t watched the film yet, but I want to when I‘m in the right frame of mind to deal with frank depictions of grief: On Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Grief, and Reality in the Afrofuturist Fantasy

Yes, the poor little meow meow thing is the reason why I don't go advertising for BTS in fannish spaces, because that whole debacle had me considering quitting the fandom when I was a newbie. It was incredibly eye opening and frightening how many fans reacted. I'm still not totally over it and feel conflicted about it. In the end I console myself with the fact that the song in question was re-released in a different version, but I'll sure as hell take everything with a grain of salt and never be at the forefront of "defending" the idols that I personally like. Mind you, I AM still a fan, just a cautious one. The privilege of being white, once again.
