First of all, english not my main language so I’ll try my best to get my message cross of what I’m trying to talk about.
this issue is about the fanfics drama ruined by the tkkr.
a little personal story, I got into fanfic I was 19, fanfic is one of the way to escape from reality it makes u fantasise and you feel good dive into the Alternate Universe. First fanfics for me was any Members/Reader or OCs. the normal fanfics. Then I got into shipping world, my first year as an Army I already get into jikook world. So I read Jikook fanfics from then until now.
The first thing I learned in fanfic world, its a freedom to write you own story, When it comes to this it comes along with you can write whatever story you want (fluff aka vanilla, smut or no smut, explicit, triggering stuffs etc) anything. You can write about whoever you want. You can’t demand from Author how you WANT the story goes.
Dislike the content of story
I’ve been reading fanfic since 2014 and back then I was still a baby when it comes to preference of what I like and dislike. Shipping culture existed before BTS, When I find people arguing on socmed about whoever they ship, Oh how I get used to stuff like this. People argue all the time.
I’ve read so many good fanfics and there are also many shitty ones (I said what I said, If you’re a fanfic writer please don’t take offence it’s not personal) If I don’t like a fanfic I just don’t read it, I never attack the writer because it’s their freedom.
I used to get mad and felt so down back then when the things doesn’t go to the way I want it to, but then I growing up and learn to be mature (as much as I can) that It’s not worth to be mad at them just because the writer wrote the ships you don’t like.
I am OT7 but as you can see, I have my own preference, and there are matured writers and as a both Jikooker & Fanfic lover. I have a realisation that not all writers are the same thinking like me.
There are writers who only see my ship is the ultimate , the cutest relationship that they will write about.
There are writers who loves writing way before they find BTS hence they are tend to be more mature like in the way they write their stories. ( but not all iykyk)
The are writers who are not a shipper, but they write about everyone being whatever they want in the story, This type is always the one I find like how they can separate reality vs fantasy 100%? which I respect cause I cant do that to all the members.
There’s also those who loves reading ‘canon’ stories. (My least favourite). It’s not because of its being canon, but it weird for me to fantasise something that too close to reality. I rather love a complete fantasy.
(because I love fantasy and both the reality, I don’t want to cross the line its a real people fanfic, you have to be careful of your mind yk)
So what is this have anything to do with tkkr?
I’ve read before there are stories where the villain is one of the members, or there are even a darker story that maybe not sit well with the public.
As jikook lover, I’ve known this in fanfic world but what does it make a difference with this issue? I get it’s their freedom to write. Writers can write whoever ship they want.
The issue with this tkkr writer is you are not splitting it from reality. You tell your readers its a ‘reality’. Tkkr done enough damage with other things. to be honest, fanfic is the easiest place for them because they have freedom in that and people shouldn’t take it seriously (the readers) BUT the thing is they did take it seriously and spit hate on jm.
I think what they did ruined the fanfic image against other writers who wrote good stories. Even myself cannot and never will read stories about other shippers except Jikook , I respect writers if you want to write tkkr but these kind of shit going on…
do you think they understand why people hate tkkr so much?
I also can differentiate which writer write jikook because they love the real connection vs the writer who love to write just for the sake of writing and doesn’t care about reality, there are also those who write darker fantasies that I think will be taboo to the public but oh well (whoops👀)
I guess it’s always down to preferences.
Let me be real honest, I know i love jikook so much but out there there are so many bad jikookers too, I get that tkkr is so out of their mind but please be mindful, that when it comes to antis or solos, even delusional jikookers is a problematic ( i mean it like those delulu tht going bad way, not the good way delulus) yk what I mean?
So for me, I get that by just seeing the word ‘t**k***’ gonna make you skin crawl because all the shit they did, but the ones who love them won’t ever stop, same goes to us? and I think we need to separate those who being genuine love their ships leave them out of this, because i don’t care about them honestly.
And just block those who talking shit and rage baiting. You know yourself it’s a rage bait. Nothing new when it comes to social media. Im so close to make another new twitter account for a fresh start 😂
oh well this is a yapping from me, you are allow to disagree
