I know exactly what this person is saying. I can even think of the specific accounts doing this. And I guess I could give them the benefit of the doubt but I'm also not stupid, I know homophobia when I see it. Like it doesn't need to be extreme, they don't need to say they would hate Jimin if they found out he liked man, it's enough for them to be constantly making it very clear that they would strongly prefer for Jimin to be straight.
And there's also the hypocrisy. Just today I say this situation where a fan posted a video where it looked like Jimin was checking out one of the female dancers but then they deleted the post after they were told that he was actually looking at fans and it was just the angle that made it look like he was looking at the dancer. Then certain accounts got upset over that and reposted the video themselves saying that there was nothing wrong with Jimin liking women. I and had a few opinions on that. First is that there's a difference between liking women and checking out a woman who kinda works for you in front of a crowd of your fans and I don't think Jimin is the type to be unprofessional like that. Second is that these are the same accounts that would act very upset if the video was implying Jimin was checking out a guy instead. They would go on and on about bad fans taking things out of context but they're okay with misrepresenting the situation if it makes Jimin seem straight.
A similar happend a few weeks back in a livestream when RM and V were calling Jimin manly and full of testosterone because he doesn't eat desserts which is obviously a joke but these fans were using it to prove that Jimin is actually super manly. But it's hypocrisy again because these are the same people that always complaing whenever someone uses that video of Jimin at his face fanmeet giving fans a thumbs down for calling him manly, saying that it's out of context and he never said he isn't manly. But first does it matter that much if he was talking about something else in that clip when he did disagree with fans calling him manly in a different situation anyway? And second isn't that the same things they're doing? Jimin obviously isn't the kind of guy who thinks eating dessert is unmanly and real real shouldn't do it but these people are okay with portraying him like that just like they're okay with portraying him as the type of guy who ogles women that are just trying to do their job. As long as they get to prove he's the furthest thing from queer, whether it's his sexuality or gender, than they're fine with taking things out of context and making Jimin seem like a douche.
And that's how you know that these people aren't just tired of shippers or just wanting people to respect Jimin. They're just homophobic but they know that's a bad look so they use the shipper excuse. And I don't like shippers either but funnily enough I can say that without being homophobic, it's really not that hard.
