[Pann] The double standards between male and female idol groups

Pann: The pains of being a girl group fan

1. Members who can pull off their parts just fine get hated on for being bad at singing but when a male idol is actually bad at rapping or singing, their fans always argue, "Do you think he would've debuted if he wasn't talented~? He has a good vocal color ㅋㅋ and he's cute even if he's bad ㅎㅎ"

2. People go overboard with the hate when a female idol says something dumb or thoughtless on TV... but if a male idol makes a mistake, fans brush it off.. "cute ㅋㅋ!"

3. If a female idol gets caught swearing, people hate on her by judging her entire character, but if a male idol swears, fans say, "So, don't you all swear too? A public figure can't swear? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

4. Members who aren't that pretty or have gained weight get called all sorts of ugly swears and "how did she debut?" but if a male idol is ugly... "he's adorable"

5. If a female idol smiles at or talks to a male idol, she gets called a "sly fox b*tch!"

6. In a dating scandal, it's 90% the female idol's fault because she must've hit on him.

7. If a female idol gets caught plagiarizing outfits, they get called 'plagiarism-dols' and get all their accomplishments accused of plagiarism but if a male idol does the same, "their coordi's the anti, what's wrong with their coordi?"

8. If a female idol gets caught in a club or bar in past photos, she gets exiled from the industry... but if it's a male idol, fans give him the benefit of the doubt "I'm sure he's matured now, I still believe in you!"

9. If a female idol acts lazy or tired on TV, people say "she's always like that", but if a male idol does, it's because "his condition isn't that good today ㅎ"

10. If a female idol makes a mistake, she has to issue several public and personal apologizes and still get hate even after the victim even says it's okay but if a male idol does it, fans write it off saying "he already apologized ㅋㅋ"

1. [+161, -21] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ For example, Big Bang and T-ara. Big Bang can cause all sorts of crimes and still not get hate but T-ara gets hated to death for some discord between the members ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I honestly feel bad for T-ara

2. [+80, -1] I'm a fan of both male and female groups now but I got into female groups a bit late. When I first got into female groups, I was so shocked by the double standards. When a male idol causes a scandal, fans are like "don't do that next time", "he's not someone who would do something like this".. but if a female idol does it, people are like "I knew she'd screw up one day", "leave the industry... and when a male idol gets into acting, "I'll look forward to it!", "Ah!! I'm so happy!!! even his character is adorable"... but when a female idol gets into acting, "please use some real actors". So sad how females get treated on different levels.

3. [+60, -3] Posts about female idols who can't sing get tons of hate but male idols get shielded

4. [+32, -0] I feel bad for the female idols too. They'll do something and then other girls are like, "There's only something that us girls can tell, she's a fox, she's a b*tch" etc... they're the same ones who'd screeeeech if their own male idols got the same treatment

5. [+28, -1] I agree with this chart
- When they have a blank expression on TV: (F) cocky and arrogant ㅋㅋ (M) chic is his concept ㅎ
- When they're boring on variety: (F) she's so boring, why is she on this? (M) it's okay, he's handsome
- When they say something wrong: (F) looks like her career's over (M) he will reflect, and I trust that he won't do it again
- When they're lazy on TV: (F) just quit your career (M) maybe something happened to him that day..
- When they commit a crime: (F) just exiled (M) I'm sure he'll be back after reflection ㅎ
- When news of a casting is announced: (F) looks like I'll be skipping this drama (M) Our ____ I'm looking forward to you ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- When they do something that can be interpreted differently: (F) she totally went for it ㅋㅋㅋ I bet she's like this normally (M) seems like he just did it without thinking? ㅋㅋ he's cute
