The only reason I bring up SHINee is to give an example of what I am talking about. It's an attempt to prove the differences in ways boys and girls are held to in the music industry. I am in no way trying to diss SHINee or anything.
And just because women and men are held to different standards doesn't mean it's right. (if we used the rationalization that 'that's reality' all throughout history, all women )would still be housewives who can't vote.) I personally find it strange that a boy can do the same thing as a girl, but not get any backlash, whereas a girl does something and gets so many anti-fans. Also, that's especially not fair to women in the music industry. Why on earth should we make a woman's life harder than it has to be?
Also, yes, while in general sexual violence is greater towards girls, many male idols have been lusted at, touched and stalked inappropriately by fan girls as well. (Jaejoong has complained about inappropriate touching and grabbing by fangirls, some fangirl stalked JJ and Changmin into a bathroom, etc.) If you happen to be a member of any of the boy band fan forums, you will find topics about how 'sexy' a certain guy is, or how 'hot' some body part of his is, etc.If your argument is that the consequences of sexual desire caused by a suggestive image of the band means that the band is bad, then doesn't being groped and stalked while at the bathroom qualify as bad enough behavior to mean that DBSK is bad? (NOTE-I am NOT saying that DBSK is bad. I'm just coming to what would be a logical conclusion based on your argument.)
One thing I definitely agree with you on is that SNSD has a bat shit fan base. However, so do many other celebrities. Didn't ELFs cause a girl to commit suicide because she hugged a SJ member? What about the girl who tried to kill Yunho because he was more popular than her favorite star? And didn't Cassiopeia threaten to hurt some guy who looked like JJ? Should these celebrities leave the entertainment industry because their fans are crazy?
What is your definition of 'performing as men'? To use SHINee as an example again, I daresay they had a very 'little boy' image.I always see multiple comments from older girls saying how they would like to do disgusting things to 'Jailbait Taemin', or girls making lewd comments about how they wish SHINee would be legal already. Men to the same thing for SNSD, only (and correct me if I'm wrong) the SNSD girls are for the most part legal.
As for your final point about SNSD having no talent, please remember that all artists, in order to be a part of SM in the first place, have to go through singing auditions/dancing auditions or be scouted. Although Sunny might be an exception (Cuz she's like LSM's niece or something), all the girls were judged on the same level as any other SM artist. Thus, unless you are questioning the integrity of the entire audition process, it can be concluded that the scouts/audition judges at least, heard some talent in them. Also, according to one thread on here, SNSD pre-debut were pretty fugly. Now, I ask; why on earth would a company pick up really ugly girls and spend (I'm assuming) a ton of money on surgery for them if they had no talent? If they were really chosen just for their looks and not talent, why didn't SM just grab a bunch of pretty girls and save itself that money?
Finally, you can think what you'd like-I'm honestly not going to spend time
convincing you that I'm not some Sushi Spy, but considering that my arguments have been backed by examples and reasoning, I don't find them illogical at all. Also, the only reason why I'm questioning so thoroughly is (first, not because I'm a sushiroller-whatever that is) but because you're part of a forum that could potentially ruin the careers of 9 people and bring them and their families/ friends a lot of grief. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks justifies that kind of action.

Holy crap this is long. Sorry for the essay X.X
