Hi @kyungporn. First of all I’m not a follower of yours but I went to your blog expecting to see the bits from the other posts been taken out context and in some that was the case (like the ksoo/children, dogs, etc.). I wanted to leave you a message but it got too long and I never intended to do it on anon in the first place so. I just wanted to address something since this bottom-top thing seems so pressing for some of you and the main focus for some reason.
You keep insisting that the reason a lot stans have reacted badly and misinterpreted and twisted your opinions it’s because you support/like top!soo and just like there’s many who might be upset about it, there’s another large part of these people that have answered you back telling you that’s not the case – @fydk-translations for example.
“Imagining, writing, watching or reading dark scenarios, fanfiction, books, movies, tv shows is not proof that somebody’s a bad person.”; “the dark stuff is also just a small part of it, and they don’t understand how much the context matter[…]fictional abuse doesn’t have you as a target and it gives you the choice to see it or leave, real abuse doesn’t give you a choice and directly harms real people.”; “(and just to put things in perspective, ask yourself, does watching movies or shows like game of thrones make you a pervert? is the director who imagined kyungsoo in self harm, murder and child abuse scenarios […] and casted him for ‘i remember you’ a demon? is kyungsoo who wants to experience acting as an immoral character and thinks it would be a fun experience where he can show a different side of himself a bad influence too?)”.
Why am I quoting this you say? Well because, even if in a way some of these are true, the thing here is the people who have raised an issue about your blog and your rebuttal are not talking about the portrayal of violence, abuse, etc. on media, or ksoo’s acting career choices; these themes aren’t bad or good, these themes aren’t themes, it’s happening right now while I write on my street, in my city, in my country and it should be discussed and addressed, but this little drama happening atm doesn’t have to do with it– your exploration of violence or whatever and ksoo being a top in ff– and even if you say it is, even if some put it like that or really think that way that’s not the problem. Others are actually talking about how you interpret, portray, handle and project these themes on an individual–yes I know, we always project ourselves in others or things but that’s longer and more complicated and not of interest rn.
The way you’ve worded all this matters seems to talk about ksoo himself as the person and not as ksoo the actor; you clarify in some posts but for the most part you don’t – because ˜well is my damn blog and my space to talk about whatever I want,˜ right?. We all really like to think like that but I believe it’s not that simple. When you compare GOT against some directors and ksoo’s work and his possible desire (and I’m saying possible bc this is you interpretation from translations that as good as they are we cannot forget context˜: it’s an interview, set under a variety of circumstances, desires and intentions and gone through many filters: kyunsoo himself–and as we all know ksoo has a range of personas–, the interviewer/writer, the translator, and you) to enact these characters you’re not doing something they have to do again and again: make a difference between fiction and reality and be clear about it. Sometimes while you’re expressing yourself it appears that the thin line between those two –the actor and the individual– isn’t there at all and can be well interpreted as that you’re talking about ksoo the person and you might say, well I’ve been clear before, you’re getting out of context_ again,_ this is headcanon etc. but guess what: if GOT and others art/media producers, actors, directors, writers or celebrities like ksoo are having difficulties reminding ppl that this is fiction and this is reality and fiction doesn’t mean they support for this to happen in real life so will you, and if you’re talking about these scenarios, these headcanons, there will be always people being uncomfortable, taking what grabs their attention and not understanding and questioning you step by step because it’s hard to deal with it and not bc “teenagers’ brains aren’t fully developed and they can’t handle things the same way that adults do. (no offense, i know it must suck to hear this but…)” which btw I think it’s an asinine point and very much an immature comment from your part and I know what you’ll say about this reference: I’m just saying, that’s a fact but you used it with a very evident purpose that doesn’t help to anything and perpetuates stereotypes.
And you’re right, exploring, watching, reading, talking about these matters of violence, abuse, kinks˜ doesn’t make you a bad person, the difference is all in how you handle it, how you react and how you take responsibility for what you say and do.
