Bozu 281 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 A fansite called Fairy White (Nature's Uchae's fansite) just closed because fans kept asking the admin not to whitewash her photos And I see this often with bigger groups too. There are twitter accounts dedicated to unwhitewashing idols but some fansites do not allow the editing of their photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaJetée 21,675 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 there are lots of fansites that don't overly edit or whitewash, i think ifans should focus their energy on supporting those fansites instead of harassing the ones that do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo 6,468 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 No. If these fansites want to put pictures of idols they've edited to look like a sheet of paper on an international platform for consumption, they need to be prepared for potential criticism from an international audience.

田馥甄 3,796 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 they can just ignore the fansites that whitewash rather than bullying them off social media. plus the ifans who "unwhitewash" idols are also weird. most of the time they just ps the idol to an unflattering orange tone. it's like.. they're not orange either.

Stargazing 950 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 That's the least thing to be concerned about. I mean people don't mind some members being blurred almost to blend in with the background but no they complain about whitewashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hera Lee 634 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yes. iFans don't pay fansite masters for their work. So if iFans don't like some fansites' photos they should just unfollow those fansites, mute them or even block them. Stop supporting fansites you don't like. Stop consuming their work, stop retweetting their photos, stop buying their photobooks, stop participating in their projects. But it's wrong to harass them, to call them out just because people wanna seem like "woke" ones. Bullying is the worst problem on Internet, so if someone wants to be woke, then online violence is the the first thing to take some actions against of it.

good_morning 5,035 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yes. There are way bugger issues yet we talk abt editing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Blob 85 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 People could just stop supporting these fan-sites but when an idol gets an image of being pale when they really aren't, it's just going to get them hate later when they're somewhere where photos are being taken but not by fans.

Comely 1,415 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'm so glad to see so many postive responses here.. every single day I see fansites arguing with fans over photo editing and it's so tiring.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBIIBBII 2,125 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Depends on how manipulated the idols skin is for me. I don't mind a bit of brightening but when they blatantly get rid of their natural pigment to the point it's unrealistic and alters our reality of what we think that idol looks like I get upset. Mind you, it's also not okay to claim they're way darker than they naturally are, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirurun 2,019 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yes... these photos the fansites are editing originally are too dark to even see the idol in the photo... most of the time they don't lighten the photo bc they're colorist/racist it's bc it makes the photo look more HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taetaefingertips 53 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Tbh I wouldn't be bothered with little whitewashing here and there but some fans whitewash them to a level where the idols look like they have been dipped into flours. Also trust me idols look so much better in their natural colours than the whitewashed photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCake 1,161 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yes, even more because the idols are putting filters where they look paper white or looking like nuns under the sun, and the fansites are the ones taking the pics, they should do with them whatever they want But i'm not okay with them pulling shit like this https://twitter.com/banqtangirl/status/1045018658538496001 It's complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, it's also not okay to claim they're way darker than they naturally are, either. This. Also I think is okay just to ask for the fansites to stop the whitewashing, just like people can voice their discontent when a character from a movie is whitewashed, fans can have a say on idols whitewashed pics too, but harassment or bullying fansite is too much. And I don't really get the argument that fansite do worse things but people complaining about whitewashing, well ifans can't do nothing against stalkers and sasaengs, all they can is voice their opinions about it and that's what they do.

eternal glow 6,196 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yes. It's their photo so they do whatever they want. If you don't like it, just follow fansites that don't white wash then. Don't demand things like people owe you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
