♡˖◛⁺  𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝:  hi can i know what made taehyung and jungkook problematic? as far as i know every k-industry fc has been very controversial or acted in ways that could be considered problematic but not bc of that all of them have been banned in other rps. is it because they are bts? i am asking since i want to understand what happened because it is the first time i see them being banned.

good afternoon, lovely. in regard to yesterday’s post concerning jeong jungkook and kim taehyung as faceclaims, the reason why we requested those members to change their faceclaim is because of a list updated by the tumblr roleplay community. our guidelines include a list in which names faceclaims that should not be used in the roleplay community due to problematic circumstances. bts is specifically named due to “racism, sexism, nazi inspired clothing.” 

an anonymous individual came to us expressing discomfort for member using bts faceclaims, especially when we, the admins, stated we would not accept faceclaims included in that list. us accepting those faceclaims regardless of their mention on the list shows our hypocrisy as well as lack of attentiveness. thus, we decided to ask the members to not use the faceclaim out of respect as well as to follow through with our own guidelines. 

in no way did we ever ban bts faceclaims solely “because they are bts.” we are not those type of admins nor people. as our post from yesterday explained, the decision was made based off of the list in our guideline as well as due to an anonymous message expressing concern. 

we are aware that this can be a difficult situation to manage due to a plethora of korean idols being very controversial, however, that is why our guidelines state “There are many problematic kpop idols, so please consider your faceclaim wisely. We want to ensure a safe environment, so if your faceclaim is overly problematic, it’s best to not use them.” this rule has been in our guidelines since the initial attempt of opening back in september of last year. this is not a new rule. we encourage every applicant to be mindful of the faceclaim they use as we do not wish to make anyone uncomfortable in our group. 

if anyone ever comes forward expressing discomfort about a particular faceclaim in the group to admin coco and i, it is our responsibility to respect their feelings and concerns. we will approach the person and request a faceclaim change if possible. this is the way we believe will be best in order to ensure a safe community as well as to not portray hypocrisy. we are aware that this is challenging, but it’s a step we have to take in order to make everyone feel welcomed. 

we hope that all of this makes sense, but if you have any further questions, please do come talk to us as we would be more than willing to further discuss this topic. all in all, bts was not banned just because they are bts. bts was included in the original list of problematic faceclaims, and we have to respect that list. we also respect the anonymous individual who came forward and expressed concern. 

thank you for understanding. ♡

𝐀 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐃𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐒.

good evening, everyone. we have recently received two anonymous messages in which an individual carefully examined the list of problematic celebrities as well as our taken faceclaims. the anonymous individual was quick to notice that we have accepted muses with faceclaims that are known for problematic instances. rather than responding to each message individually, we wanted to address this in one detailed post. 

the faceclaims in question are jeon jungkook, kim taehyung, and danna paola. i want to first apologize for accepting these faceclaims into the group as it shows that we were not entirely mindful of the list included in our guidelines page. we take full responsibility for not attentively checking the problematic faceclaim lists, and we also apologize for not being more informed about the issues and discomfort these celebrities are known for. our ignorance allowed us to welcome such faceclaims into the roleplay, and admin coco and i do apologize for that. we promise to do better in the future.

we know that this can be a very tricky thing to handle, for, in reality, many korean idols are problematic. that is why our guidelines state “please consider your faceclaim wisely. We want to ensure a safe environment, so if your faceclaim is overly problematic, it’s best to not use them.” although we are not seeking an excuse for our action, admin coco and i did not consider jeon jungkook, kim taehyung, nor danna paola as overly problematic. however, we recognize our faults of not being mindful and attentive, and we will be asking those members to change their faceclaims. we will especially ask for these members to change their faceclaims because someone has come to us with concerns, and we believe the concern is valid. 

we will be more serious with this list and topic now. this also means that we, the admins, will be more considerate of the faceclaims we accept into the group. if anyone ever expresses discomfort toward a particular faceclaim, we will reach out to the member in order to request a faceclaim change. we never want a member or future member to feel uncomfortable in the group simply because of a faceclaim someone is using. 

thank you to the anonymous individual for bringing this to our attention. admin coco and i will do better, and we apologize for having caused any troubles or discomfort.
