What do you think about AsianJunkie?

It'd nice at first but then I realized the users there circlejerk with themselves so much over them being the "mature and cool" it gets a bit annoying

 

Like, what's the point of acting masturbatory over your maturity, it kinda don't fit

 

But yeah, sometimes it's fun

one of my friends (in real life and on twitter) is pretty good friends with the writer, so i always try to read their pieces.

 

i think his posts are really funny, and i think the bad taste isn't to be insulting, but just to provoke some laughs.  i always read it and have a giggle because it can come across as quite troll-esque, but i guess that's just his style!

Interesting most of the time. Lots of insight that might not be touched on sometimes. I enjoy reading it along with antikpopfangirl because they can be funny. But like others have said, it can get pretty circlejerk-y once in a while. That's like everywhere though.

I'm a very active user at AJ. I find it's the only place where I can have an opposite opinion to the norm. Like I didn't enjoy "Ah Yeah" and got bashed for that opinion everywhere except AJ. The users who are there are very appreciative that people may not have the same music taste as they do and act as such. I agree that it can sometimes be a circle jerk, but honestly it's never as bad as AKP or NB or even here. 

 

AJ is one of the few sites that actually does research on larger topics, but also there's sarcasm and satire and it's great. During scandals you can a plethora of opinions and if you don't agree with IATFB he's not a dick about it, except if you get pissy and act like your opinion is the only one that's right and act like IATFB is the devil.

I've run out of upvotes, but this, I agree.

I always thought it was just a basic gossip news site ala Koreaboo, I don't remember which article made me think that way but it was really the image I got. Since I avoid this kind of site I didn't read more, but since everybody says it's funny it makes me curious now ^^

Their articles can be very funny (the Red Velvet member identification test is one of my all time favourite) and the comment section are hilarious. I like the way people dont easily get butthurt and are free to express their opinion there. Well, some articles and comment may be of bad taste, but u can choose to ignore them.

A lot of the articles seem like theyre written to garner a contrary response to say the consensus opinion within the kpop community. Often they try to be provocative but for the most part the articles are fairly well written and executed.

 

It's the comments section with their sometimes incessant (hehe) circle jerk and the reveling in their own supposed maturity and intelligence that can put me off. It just comes off as snobbish rather than anything else. I appreciate the troll like writing but the community there is a hard one to digest.
