If our goal isn't to get married but rather to flourish, let's not talk people into relationships. Let's not tell people to date folks they aren't attracted to. Let's not dismiss preferences. Our goal isn't to marry singles off, so let's support their flourishing, their needs.

@yesyesyeol 100% agree. When we look at a work of art, we don’t first check the age of the artist. Men don’t worry about the age of actresses and models. In kpop, the artist’s image is part of the performance. We can abstract the performance from the person.

@ThatAndromeda It’s common knowledge that all orange boys share two brain cells and take turns using them. Orange girls, on the other hand, are actually flerkens.

Chinese Drama Love Rivals: the men are kind of pathetic; the women could work for SPECTRE with their lack of ethics and determination in pursuing their goal. #cdrama #romantictropes
