didn’t think I’d ever have to say this, but here we are. (also hello my angels, I hope you’re all doing okay 💞)
I’ve been seeing a genuinely disturbing rise in NSFW content being made about CORTIS. yes. CORTIS. teenage boys.
and before anyone even tries it—do NOT come with “well they’re 18 now” you’re not fooling anyone. people didn’t magically develop this interest overnight the second a birthday passed. if anything, that just makes it worse. it shows intent, it shows you were waiting, and that is deeply uncomfortable to witness.
because the second juhoon turned 18 there were smut fics out. and now the same for martin. GENUINELY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE BRO??
as writers and creators in fandom spaces, especially in one like this where a large portion of both the members and the fandom are minors, there is a responsibility that comes with what you choose to create and share. this isn’t just about preference or “curating your experience.” this is about basic boundaries and respect.
“don’t like, don’t read” DOES NOT APPLY HERE!! that mindset falls apart the second the content itself becomes ethically questionable. and “I’m only posting it because people asked for it” is not an excuse either. you're not being forced. you're making a conscious decision to create and distribute that content.
you, as the writer, always have the final say. and with that comes accountability.
if you want to write about the cortis members, go ahead. no one is stopping you. but there is a clear line, and some of you aren't just crossing it, you’re sprinting past it without a second thought??? these are real people. young people. not characters that exist for you to project onto in whatever way you want.
there is a level of care that needs to exist when you engage with content involving minors or very young idols. and right now, that care is being ignored.
this fandom is meant to be fun, safe, and creative. we’re here to enjoy the music, their personalities, the moments that make us smile. not to turn these boys into something that strips them of their dignity and humanity.
so please, if you genuinely respect them, act like it.
block and report blogs that are producing nsfw content about underage idols. and yes, I am absolutely including anyone under TWENTY (20) in that conversation because even that line feels like it’s being pushed in ways that are uncomfortable.
this shouldn’t even be a debate. it’s about decency. it’s about boundaries. it’s about not being weird!!!
