i’m fine with exclusionist interaction as long as your kind and respectful approaching these topics, which you seem to be! i’m more than happy to talk and educate about these things.

i struggle to explain what it exactly is or how it feels, because of my own lack of vocabulary. but i can certainly attest to it being an entire separate feeling than platonic and romantic attraction.

alterous attraction is a type of emotional closeness that’s neither platonic nor romantic. that’s why there’s a special word to describe these type of relationships (which used to be “zucchini” before queer/quasiplatonic was popularized) 

alterous attraction is hard to explain to someone who doesn’t experience it, because it’s easy for it to sound like it’s on some spectrum between platonic and romantic, when in fact it’s its own sort of feeling that differentiates itself from the two. it’s just one of those things you gotta know to understand, y’know?

i hope that makes sense! if you have any questions i can do my best to answer.

as a southeast asian person thank you for not being afraid to call out bts on their shit (even though this should be something that we all shouldn't be afraid to do just because they're ~our idols~ because for example rm didn't get to become the person he was today without people telling him that the shit he was doing/saying was wrong.) whether they meant it or not as some may argue, it still happened, people need to acknowledge the stuff bts say and face it, call it out so bts become better too

yes thank you. 

just because they’re idols and famous doesn’t mean they should be above criticism. it’s like people forget they are actually human beings... who are growing and learning and changing. they make mistakes too. it’s not like anyone here is bashing them or hating them, or even unstanning. 

we are merely pointing out and acknowledging their mistakes. the kind of mistakes that should be worked on. 

exactly like you said, these mistakes should be called out so they can learn from them. they’re already huge and becoming more and more of an influence for the young generations. and they mostly spread really good messages so it should be a good thing that they get called out on their mistakes.
