Fandom homophobes are so funny. Like we all know you wouldn't say that in person because we'd jump your corny ass

#same thing with terfs. they gotta stick to their online circles bc no one in real life fw their funky asses

When it gets weird is when people insist that other people have to accept what they think about someone's sexuality

Yeah tbh I was talking about behaviors like this! I saw some people replaying to someone and they were stating (as it’s a fact) that Taemin is straight. And I just got a little confused, cause if an artist himself haven’t made a single comment on his „straightness”, then why his own fans are acting defensive on idea of someone believing he might not be straight? <- especially that as you said some people have reasons to suspect that Taemin at best could be bisexual. But of course speculations are just speculations and he doesn’t owes us answers.

And I do agree that overall it’s harmless if you do not cross certain boundaries.

For sure! And I think that behavior can come from two different places:

- Being protective of him because people DO become invasive if there are rumors or expectations placed on an idol's sexuality. Annoying but not really all that harmful.

- Being homophobic. Which, lol. Crazy to pick Shinee as your group if that's the case. There's also a fair amount of transphobia too, which is odd with a group that plays with gender as much as Shinee does, not just Taemin. Like some people genuinely talk about Kibum like he's scum for being gay but treat Taemin like he's one of the girls. Or that one person who gets sooooo upset if you call idols queen or girl 💀

But honestly what are they gonna do? Call me a carpet munching dyke? Thanks! And I'll peg your man too. Stream Atmos! 🗣😊

#homophobes in fandoms make me laugh like ? okay. and it'll be from a grown woman who still has a curfew half the time too 🤭

Minho just didn't know gay people existed before he met Kibum and then he was working at the homo factory (SM) and now he does not play about gay people AT ALL. CodeKunst tried to say Kibum looked funny once and Minho said shut up you big eared Bitch!

Jinki just has bigger issues than if people are gay or not. he's fighting demons he doesn't care if you're a femme queen, are you going to laugh at his dad jokes or not.

#the fact that none of them play about Kibum AT ALL. genuinely think they'd cause a shibuya incident if someone tried to out him

Taemin only spending one year trying to be a tough guy before he realized he was in a group with 2 gay people who can beat his ass and that he's kind of boygirl and it's more fun that way.

#sksksksk #jinki went thru HELLLL IN THAT DORM 😩 omg #I'd run away periodically too

I’m little confused. Did Taemin ever talked about his sexuality? Cause the way some people are talking about it like it’s common knowledge makes me wonder if I missed something. Cause otherwise it is weird the way people talk about his own sexuality (whether they call him bi or straight) without him ever coming forward and clarifying things.

None of them have ever said anything explicit, but he's said a lot about gender and how he presents himself as an artist, which resonates with a lot of people. Taemin has a meaningful habit of portraying himself as both male and female in his mvs and performances and his lyrics are gender neutral most of the time too. Same way that Key has never said anything explicitly but he's clearly embedded in queer culture and "out" as much as he feels he can be.

I actually don't find it weird or harmful for people to speculate about sexuality, especially if an artist purposefully puts those themes into their work. Shinee are very comfortable with having queer fans and don't shy away from those topics either. I also appreciate that they as a group do not use it for marketing either. Like MBC works tf out of Minkey but Shinee itself doesn't have to use queerbait for album sales (unlike others i could name lol). There's no harm in shipping (as long as it remains unserious and online) or finding aspects of yourself in someone's art! I find Taemin's work personally very relatable as a bisexual person who was raised catholic.

When it gets weird is when people insist that other people have to accept what they think about someone's sexuality and start trying to cross boundaries and demand confirmation from the artists themselves. Or start invading their privacy and harassing them. I think people think they're owed confirmation or affirmation as fans and fandoms kind of need to grow up and get more comfortable with reading subtext than having to be told everything explicitly.

#as someone who is closeted in some areas of my life i don't see anything wrong with resonating with an artist who uses queer elements in #their work and i don't think anyone owes a coming out. that habit fandoms have these days grosses me out #anon

Armywols finally being able to relax bc vipwols took their title of most irritating multistans

#skdjfjdkd 😩

Fans are unfortunately capable of shipping anyone. I remember how few years ago there was this Thai BL drama that was very popular and one of the „couples” was played by an underaged (by that time) actor and JS who was 10 years older than him. Unfortunately neither the age gap or the age of the actor stopped fans from shipping the two. It was very weird (he was like 16/17 at the time?).

If you want to ship at least make sure it’s legal 🤡

Cryingggg, not this Kinnporsche stray

#Jeff was APPALLEDDDDD by it too 😭 i was there for that. i unironically love kinnporsche (the couple)#the show itself...well! 😒 anything that pays Apo's light bills i guess.#porsche is a character of all time for me tho like like he locked in to give us complex bisexuality

the funniest thing about idol ships is you can tell which ones aren't single in real life based on how intense their government assigned ship is

#minho genuinely going thru a real life break up during DCM era skskskssk #and then the minkey hard launch. kibum said i'm sorry that happened but i'm gonna need you to lock in.

Logged into a 🐦 app for a second and found out that some people ship OnTae for real??? I was literally like: 🧍🏼‍♀️ (pretend the emoji is Mike Wazoski lol).

I thought you all were joking all this time 😭😭 I was liking „OnTae real” silly tweets, cause I thought they were just silly. 😭💔

yeah, people really do think a lot of these ships are real </3 too bad Jinki only has room for one love in his life: juggling

#the SuperM ships were so funny like people really thought Kai had enough game for a harem

sodam is sooooooooo cutie pie love when we get updates from her <333

#hashtag OUR UNNIE #ugh i miss roo and her updates
