And also can you really consider Kpop an oppressed music style on the forum when South Korea is regularly achieving AQ spots in several contests, while other countries like Indonesia and Philippines often send Kpop singers with links to their own countries? Kpop is clearly rather popular within the forum

Yeah... that's gotta be a no from me. Ana loves to talk about how "oppressed" kpop is while she clearly hasn't taken a look at any of the stuff any of the forumers send. HA sends Armenian pop, I normally send instrumentals and whatnot. It is quite unenjoyable while Ana is consistently talking down on the forumers, while she's high on her own messiah complex. It is honestly tempting to start my own contest in the same style, but without the rules that benefit one "oppressed" genre
Also edition 121. How the fuck does a song win with a 425 point gap. And why is it that the "representative of the week" is never someone from the forums???

It's crazy to see all the sorta core forum gang hopping down to see this in confusing, allow me to explain I basically announced on the CPCU discord that I was quitting the contest, largely because I'd lost enjoyment after Ana (the girl who sorta calls the shots in the contest) kept constantly making rules to disadvantage forum members and the fact it was becoming almost impossible for non K-pop songs to win. This is Ana's response and fair enough to her, I wish her well in continuing the contest (or festival as its meant to be called now under the communist system) The same reason why I left this contest, I don't even know if ''Ana'' exists, but she and Phirl just use the contest as they want to Anyway as I'm Banned for not voting for Phirl on other contest, I don't care 👄

To avoid that anybody feels offended by an award, some changes were made. Failed. As the so called "drama queen of 2018" according to the shameful Awards of last year I am perfectly aware of a phenomenon that has been decaying the climate on the forum for many years, and makes me extremely uncomfortable in this community, as if I were a stranger infiltrated in a party I never got invited to who could be spotted and expelled at every moment. And the reactions when I said I felt offended by my Award last year are a perfect illustration of this. Basically, many people including moderators and admins said: "You shouldn't feel offended, that was just humour. You take things too seriously." You must be aware that when you laugh at someone, there is always a risk that he feels offended by what you're saying. What is just a friendly joke in your mind may be perceived as an insult. I shouldn't feel obliged to remind this, as it is completely trivial on every single other community I belong to. You have to be careful when you speak to someone you don't know, especially in written communication, and especially with people that don't share your cultural and ethnical background. I will add that some people don't react when they feel offended (Japanese people for example often keep this kind of feelings for themselves) so you can never be sure. I also have a friend who has Asperger syndrome. She is a very nice and open person, but she is unable to deal with second degree, so she may be hurt by completely innocent jokes. Conclusion: when you don't know someone well, just avoid to make stupid jokes on him/her, and if it unintentionally occurs (nobody's perfect), just apologize. That's a very simple rule that should apply to everybody here.

Also why doesn't Ana post this here by herself?
Okay, I'm not participating in here (nor planning to) so I guess it's best if my contribution ends here.

The fact the contest has somehow gathered 50+ friends, family and friends of friends who somehow are all huge Koreaboos does leave one scratching their head, I know from YSC at least some of its genuine and I have met Ana in a watch2gether room once and I think Phil largely just plays along with it but I could see this being true...

That's a very simple rule that should apply to everybody here. I'm unfamiliar with Ana, but the awards did not even concern her and this thread is Phirl translating a message from Ana. Phirl didn't seem to mind winning that award as is obvious by his post in the thread. What was the point of this post? All you're doing here is making the situation about yourself by opening old wounds from a year ago.
