miss mandy, i want to revisit my previous point. editing someone’s face into sexy photos can have negative consequences, particularly for your face claim. even though you may see it as a separate entity, it’s important to recognize that it’s still yeji’s face being manipulated. every day, her image is subjected to similar alterations and sexualization, which can be harmful. regarding malas’ concert, the issue isn’t about the bodysuit you chose to wear or references to beyonce and taylor swift. it’s about the decision to edit yeji’s face onto a body where the cleavage is showing.
the argument that “yeji herself wears revealing clothes” doesn’t hold up. yes, yeji herself wears clothes that shows skin sometimes but you also need to acknowledge that she has shown discomfort in wearing attires like that in your concept photo and she has shown discomfort on several occasions where her chest is quite showing, as acknowledged within their fan community.
my concern isn’t about you as a character, mandy. it’s about the face claim you’re using. i don’t mind what you wear; it’s the editing of yeji’s face into potentially harmful images that worries me. it is just wrong, no matter what angle you try to view it.
i appreciate your other points, and i agree with them, but they don’t address the core concern i’m raising. i hope this clarifies my perspective.
hello! i accidentally posted a follow up under the comments of your last entry before seeing this. let me copy paste it here so it’ll surely get across to you.
“hi again anon! posting a follow up since i only noticed now what you were talking about for the outfit pic for malas’ show. i didn’t realize that i used the wrong pic of yeji during their ringo era and that her chest area was edited in it. i got it from pinterest (https://pin.it/Y7PbqgMii), i did not make that myself. i apologize for my carelessness, i should’ve checked if it was an edit or not. i didn’t include that the picture was from them as, once again, i didn’t know it was an edit. i will do better!”
as for your main point, i understand better now that i’ve also talked to a few of my friends who helped me realize where you are coming from. i apologize for how it took a while for me to fully understand your perspective, but now i understand that you’re trying to avoid the possibility of yeji herself being sexualized. i will definitely do better in the future. thank you once again for raising this topic!
