[@belle132]

As an Asian, this is so deeply offensive. We've fought for so long to be seen in the media as more than just a fetish or an aesthetic, and Oli just spat all over that. Our identity cannot be reduced to facial structure and fashion. And for them to say and do all these things so publicly at a time like this when the fight for equality has become a very real threat to our lives and the lives of our loved ones... I don't even have words. They are obviously suffering from mental health issues but I struggle to have compassion for them. Oli is not in love with Korea; Oli is in love with themself. I hope they get some help and get off the internet for good.

Imagine being a Korean who is openly non-binary, flamboyant and on television all the time for being unusual... most Korean families wouldn't approve of their lifestyle. They don't have to go through any of that. They also continue to speak English in an overtly British accent. Obviously a lot of Korean people speak English, but Ollie should at least speak Korean sometimes... and they should be fluent or learning. Anyway- the whole thing is ridiculous.

Also many Koreans are born with double lids (myself for example) so this person claiming to be Korean only after getting their eyes done is, like I said, similar to hot sauce on cabbage. Just because you THINK you look like them don't make you "them". There's a distinct line between appreciating/adopting other cultures, and straight up corrupting/fetishizing it. This feels like the later.

How is this hurting the trans community? If anything isn't it more validating by showing that you can transition from one thing to any thing?

[@CJMGalaxy]

@@gmkar7766 This. This is how it's harming the trans community. People equate transracialism (which is not a thing, race as a social construct is entirely different from gender and is defined by location, shared culture, and the way people of other races treat you, it's not just a matter of social roles) with being transgender. It becomes a weapon to discredit and delegitimize us. We went through the same shit after Rachel Dolezal and it's incredible that we have to defend our existence again.

[@gmkar7766]

@@CJMGalaxy But how exactly is it different?

[@CJMGalaxy]

@@gmkar7766 I just explained it above, but if I must repeat myself... Race as a social construct involves where your ancestors are from, the culture you grow up in, your language, and how people of other races treat people of your background. Gender involves a social role enforced upon someone based on their sex characteristics at birth, with no ancestral ties or location dictating which gender you are assigned. They are entirely different. Both are human inventions, but they have very different origins and impact in our society. Calling these people "transracial" isn't even accurate - that word already has a meaning, and it's to do with the relationship between families comprised of people of different racial backgrounds, especially where adoption is concerned. What people who claim to "transition" races is actually do is appropriate the culture and appearance of another racial group, often, as in this person's case, extremely ineptly and offensively.

[@gmkar7766]

@@CJMGalaxy Thanks. You might feel like you're repeating yourself, but that's because you didn't actually explain anything. So basically race is a social construct based on the material reality of your ancestors' ethnicity and your socialisation within a culture, and your treatment by outsiders as a member of that culture, whereas gender is a social construct based on the material reality of your sex which is determined by your dad's sperm (second X or only Y) , your socialisation as a member of that sex, and your treatment by members of the opposite sex? (e.g. being a woman and being catcalled, sexually harassed, overlooked for career advancement, treated by society as a walking womb etc etc). You could even go as far as to say that sex determines which gender you are assigned. So we've got two social constructs, both based on immutable physical reality. And again, I ask, how is it possible to transition from one thing to the other in the case of gender but not race? If you had an answer to this question, I suspect you would have answered it by now. But seeing that you just repeated what you already said, I'm not holding out hope that you know something I don't.

[@nbjess1997]

I hate it when he says "it's appreciation not appropriation".

The whole situation is just so upsetting and harmful on so many levels.

[@veenorelation4008]

The fact that they coopted the term transracial and acted like it was this new groundbreaking concept that they created goes to show how ignorant and insensitive they are. For those of you who may not know transracial is a term used to describe a person of one race who was adopted into a family of another race and were raised and socialized like a person of their adopted race. What this person is doing is doing less to legitimize themselves and more to delegitimize trans people. Trans people and their community are already so vulnerable, and their existence is constantly being undermined and what this person is doing is adding fuel to the fire. The fact that they are saying that the woke mob is bullying them while also trying to make a place fore themselves at the LGBT table is so hypocritical.

I just wish people would ignore them no matter how out of pocket they get. Don’t follow them on social media and don’t interact with any of their content.

[@JoJoestar]

As Korean American there's something very disturbing about this individual, instead of learning from the culture they decide to do this very racist action and also invalidate transgender people. I really feel like this is what happens when koreaboos take things way too far and disregard everything just because it has to do with Korea. I've had people act very differently towards me in uncomfortable ways just because I'm part Korean and it's why I don't really like it when k-pop stans idolize groups to a point of fetishization, it leads to stuff like this in my opinion.

[@Purple_haze81000]

I agree. I think K-pop stans are so dumb and see Korean culture as BTS. They don’t look at any other aspects of Korean culture. Bts are not even real personality; it’s a gimmick. It’s manufactured crap.

[@ChickadeeBoi]

I am trans and also kinda irked AF bout this nonsense... Like gender is presentation and internal feelings. Race or ethnicity is equally how people see ya AND cultural. Just cause ya look Korean doesn't mean ya know jack sheet bout the Korean experience the way someone who is raised in it does. He is a tourist for Korean life, but the average Korean can't just bow out of being Asian whenever it suits.

[@Yasmine-jx3jo]

That they are called a kpop stan just already ruins the image of the fans more. And Oli had been exposed by an ex friend that they get their surgeries for free and that Oli isn't actually rich.

[@CaptainMera]

I dont think they're pretending.. trolling at times for attention, absolutely! But I think they got deeper into their delusion about Jimin. Delusions has this ability to make you take some extreme mental gymnastics for crazy concepts to make sense to them. They seek out things that confirms their delusion and fall deeper into it. The more they engage with their delusion, the more real to them it'll feel. I'm sure they don't actually care about BTS or Jimin as a person, but as a concept. The concept of being young and beautiful, loved and successful - from a place where they're not. I think it's the idea of Jimin, rather than jimin himself. Hence wanting to become him, burying themselves under it. Because they might feel that "Ollie" is someone who is doing bad things for themselves, while Jimin is this abstract idea of perfection. As for the trolling for attention - yeah. It's almost similar to that syndrome where you fake illnesses (of yourself or your child) because that attention gives a high. They KNOW they're lying but their mind is putting the knowledge aside in favour of the high. I think the negative attention is as much a high as the surgery is. Because I think over time, they've had to cope with it the same way. They know it's bad but they need it - both the attention and the surgeries. But in their mind - jimin doesn't need surgeries or lies, he's real, loved and fine as he is. While Ollie feels imperfect. I think Ollie is in a deep relationship with their delusion. I think they KNOW-know, but as I said, does a mind gymnastics to not deal with it directly. But subconsciously it slips out through their language, how they speak about themself. That's the bit that (I think) people are pointing to as "look they know they're making it up!" Yes and no. They know, but they can't acknowledge it directly without pain for themselves. But truth has a tendency to slip out whatever we like it or not. Edit: this is just my thoughts tho. I'm not a psychologist and I don't think my speculations about a real person's mental health should be taken as fact. Just want to add that this is pure speculation. I'm nonbinary myself and I do think Ollie is disrespectful and wrong on all fronts, I disagree with their choices and opinions. Not trying to excuse them, just trying to understand.

[@AestheticGirl]

I am literally getting second hand embarrassment for him 😭✋

[@beastlyzee]

I think it’s crazy how some people think it’s okay to use other peoples culture as some sort of fashion accessory.

[@industrialalliance9905]

The thing is if Oli really wanted to be Korean they could just take a Korean citizenship test and apply for citizenship. Korean is a nationality not a race. This seeks like fetishization as well as extreme compulsive obsession with the perfect looks of Jimin(perfect by Oli's standards. No one is perfect)

[@idontexist1966]

This person is a living Horror Story, the K-pop community has known them for a while we just ignore their antics because it seems like they're doing it all for attention and the more they get the more attention hungry they become. Also they call themselves a "fan of bts" and said that *jungkook* the youngest member who was *15* at the time of the group's debut was the leader , you're telling me a 15 year old was the leader of a group with 18-20 year olds? A *15* year old! It's just a mess and I'm 100% convinced they're doing it all just for attention, they don't care whether it positive or negative. Edit:They also faked their own death

While I understand getting deeply connected to another culture, this is absolutely insane.

[@FullMoonOctober]

I know Jimin probably won't speak out publicly, because stars are often discouraged from doing anything to encourage/enrage crazy obsessive fans, but you would think that his management or label would have sent some cease and desists or SOMETHING about some of the things Oli has said and done. The pretending to be married thing has got to be some sort of slander/harassment? I don't know how the laws work in the UK/South Korea, but you'd think there would be something to address this.

One of the most creepy things that Oli has said was, that he "visits all of Jimins favorite places and hangouts" when he is in korea. I have no idea if this is actually true, but this is beyond stalker behaviour. Korean BTS fans and even BTS has said in the past that they can sometimes roam the streets of their hometown freely and are pretty much left alone if they are spotted in public when they are off schedule (apart from some sasaengs) ...so if Oli actually has this genuine obsession with Jimin and really shows up at places at his home/at his place of living/restaurants etc then I genuinelly hope Jimin gets a restraining order!!

[@captnkirk]

Nothing wrong with loving k-pop and stuff but this guy 😭 insists on being korean just based on his love for kpop sigh.
