highkey didn't like anything the ceo dude did and he got on my nerves so so much, but ig right now is a redeption arc of sorts? But i still can't get over how he tried ( and lowkey kinda did ) ruin Yi Yun's life. Like bruh, swapping donors and doing all that? pretty low of you. Watch as there be a mega angst arc once Yi Yun finds out
I'm not trying to invalidate any of you your experiences because it is completely valid to be conscious about your body, but even the people that society perceives as 'skinny' can have so many insecurities rooted in their body and things that just disgust them about themselves even though other people perceive it as 'pretty'. I say this because I've seen all kinds of people be insecure about their bodies and many people invalidating others' experiences purely because they might 'fit' or come close to the beauty standard ( which is a bunch of bs but it's still ingrained in our brains and it's not going to go away any sooner )
everyone saying he's homophobic while completely forgetting the fact that 1) they're an idol group, thus they have to maintain that image to the public and keep it clean - dating can make things messy, eSPECIALLY dating within groups, that's just a whole storm 2) he's the leader, so he's obviously going to be worried whether the group can still go on like this or not 3) Let's be real, would you really like it if someone wrote things about you and other people, pairing you together and doing all kinds of stuff? it's kinda,, hmm , off putting in the least, especially when they send it to you to read,
fortunately, idol industry is starting to accept their idols having relationships with other people, there are multiple examples out there. the second point makes sense, but as for the third one, i think it just depends on the person. if it were me, although i don't think anyone has ever made fanfictions out of me and someone else LMAO, i would be pretty interested and i would just laugh and joke about it. sure it's kinda weird, but i wouldn't feel negative towards it. it's interesting, knowing how other people perceive me and someone else's relationship, or just fantasize in general. has someone ever fantasized making out with me? probably not, but it would be something i want to know about since it's so amusing lol.
hmm, your points are valid. And for the idol thing, yeah, as time progresses, some companies are being more free with it, but this situation just reminded me of a group that disbanded and it's speculated that it was due to two members dating and then cheating happened or something.
And for the fanfics, I get what you're saying, and it's pretty neat of people to write things about others ( don't get me wrong, fanfics are a whole 'nother verse of literature and some are just exquisite ), but I guess I was thinking about people knowing that other people write hardcore stuff about them and all that, ><
