Exactly. I don't listen to Kpop but from what I've seen, they're pretty close to each other. Imagine if someone wrote fanfic about you and someone you think of as really good friend or brother. I feel so bad for them. And then on top of it, they're probably pressured to provide fanservice to please their fans.
This is why other anime fans hate yaoi fan girls lol.
Same can be said about literally ANYONE or anything capable of feelings in any profession. You're lumping all idols together like they're this higher pure beings but they're gross humans like the rest us. And they know exactly what they're signing up for when they set out to become idols. Let people enjoy their fantasies, geez.
Thing is when people read fanfic people know that it’s pure fiction and not real so to call people disgusting just for enjoying something that’s harmless is disgusting itself because people know it’s not real they’re just reading it for entertainment not because they’re fetishising them as gay the ones who do that are the ones that claim that they’re definitely gay in the real world when actually we don’t know
There’s a difference between reading fanfic which we know is purely fiction and then claiming that a certain idol is actually gay so the person shouldn’t mix them up and call people who read or enjoy fictional fan made content disgusting when they literally know it’s not real and it’s purely entertainment
It's not about them being "pure" or some other bs. Can you please explain where you got that from as it literally wasn't mentioned anywhere in this thread?
Of course they're human, they have to present themselves as pure to the public and that sucks.
The issue is specifically about shipping them with their group mates.
The issue is that some people do. And again, this isn't about this yaoi specifically, it's about fanfic of speicifc group members (brought up by people.in the comments). That may be fiction but it's seriously weird to write pron about real people like that and even worse, be one of those people who specifically makes the group aware it exists.
Imagine being told someone's writing porn about you and your best friend/ coworker.
Idk about you but I would be hella creeped out, and feel weird about even interacting with said friend/ coworker in public since I know a bunch of thirsty fans would be watching my every movement for something to include in their fabrics.
Um... what? Maybe I'm misreading this but I never called anyone disgusting. Not really sure why this is being directed at me? Hopefully it's just you thinking out loud in general?
Anyway... fiction is fiction. It's not real, if y'all don't like it move on. Being worried about fictional idols is not gonna get y'all an in with the real ones. Let people enjoy their readings, fetishes, and fantasies.
Ooooo sorry I meant the disgusting part at the original post comment, and literally that’s my point as long as you’re not claiming that they’re actually gay or straight or whatever in real life because we don’t actually know and you keep it just to fictional stories and art then it’s fine, everyone knows that bts Jungkook isn’t the leader of the South Korean mafia and a chronic chain smoker so let people enjoy the stories and stop trying to be so politically perfect ( that’s just an out loud and not a direct to you)
Just stop imagine idols doing it! It's wrong on so many lvls! Think about how they must feel knowing about all the fanfictions arts and other disgusting things"fans" are creating about them....
