  5. CW: lols, kpop, music, youtube, michael jackson, culture, THE culture, gettin' it, dance, MJ

    our boy jk is driving grown men to hug each other and shed tears. these men are calling out the name of the lord and savior jesus christ...because of this song.

    with this new one, our boy is going for the crown: michael jackson's crown specifically.

    is this advisable? if you're coming for the crown, you better be a worthy contender. you better not be just messing around with things you don't understand, you know? and the role of MJ in the culture (meaning, black folks' culture, specifically)... it can't be understated, ya know? but the fact that these men are out here holding each other and crying... it gives me the feeling that maybe hybe/bighit/bts/jk are doing all this out of a place of love. ...to show the beauty in this music. i hope they are!

    i call this song "innovations in mj studies" and "the implications of koreans straight up trying to make the next MJ".

  6. #CallForPapers for Anthology: #Batman... Also Starring

    Many #academic texts focus on Batman as a cultural figure in comics as well as in #films, #television programs, and video #games. However, like all great superheroes, Batman is as much defined by his supporting cast as he is by his costume, abilities or origin. While there is no shortage of scholarship devoted to his most famous sidekicks and his most popular villains, little critical attention has been paid to the majority of his cast.
