I'm arab and on arab ktwt. This might be a long cc but I just want to clear some thing up, If we're being honest it was never about the makeup because his makeup for awhile now is just like any other male idol natural makeup but they're still using it to hate on him why? Well queef said it those arabs kpop 'fans' shitting on him are mostly if not all armys or stays and they're a huge fandom here and kinda control how things run on k arab twt. They're notorious for hating anyone who gains a bit of popularity but it's not limited to Ricky or males. Arab 'fans' are the biggest jennie and wonyoung haters, bts vs jennie 3rd gen and straykids vs wonyoung 4th gen and they'll say the most vilest things ever and create horrible rumors about jennie and wonyoung even though they are women themselves. Once they decide to hate someone they will not let that shit go because if we being real if it was really about the makeup they will not stan bts and straykids because they do the same heavy smokey eye makeup all the time esp during their debut. They simply do not like arab ktwt talking about anybody other than bts or stray kids and will hate on anyone that gains a bit of attention, these two fandoms will beef with each other all the time though but they band together when they have a common target. but sometimes things does escape arab ktwt and reach the gp and yes sadly traditional gender roles is the standard, men should be manly men who does all the hard labor, arm full of scars and calluses from the 'hard' labor in order to put food on the table and women should cook and do house work type of bs. BUT a lot of young women and children both males and females are fighting against it rn as for ricky he is gaining a lot of arab supporters from the new young gen of arab kpop stans who gen like him for who he is and they're actively fighting these hags because all these hags hating on him are mostly from straykids and bts era, he is also gaining sympathy fans too because I think arab kpop stans that aren't armys or stays are finally tired of their bs for running arab ktwt like it belongs to them because they know their fandom is huge compared to smaller kpop groups. So yeah as a zb1 fan and to ricky fans don't be too stressed it's never because they hate ricky as a person but because they're insecure about their faves position.
