just recently in the vlog with his mother, she said how she wished that sh would keep some things to himself, but he said that he'd continue to be transparent (as much as he can be in his position) and show himself as he is.
it is that deep because we are not talking about kpop, or a kpop concept, we are talking about a real person who has struggled with this in the past. if you can’t respect him as a person you need to leave this space
no but i genuinely do wish the worst on those who speak badly about sh’s queerness. it’s not just a silly debate online, its not just an outfit or hair style, it’s who HE is. it’s his entire being and you have no right to speak about it, because that small comment is impactful.
yk what saddens me the most is that these are exactly the rules sh wants to break, the same things that make him say “i can’t wear this dress”. yet atnys don’t understand or listen to what he’s so dedicated about, nor his songs for that matter
i bring a real “the people always screaming “let men be masculine!” regarding seonghwa are both knowingly and unknowingly giving homoph0bes, transph0bes, and mis0gynists a platform to let their hatred seep through” vibe to the party that said homoph0bes etc. really do not like
transphobes love accusing people of projecting a gendered reading onto skin (usually while arguing that it’s simply about heteronormative sex) but never want to to engage with what seonghwa himself has said about skin, or even people who’ve spoken to him about it
Quite frankly, i think its ridiculous to expect all queer idols to come out and immediately assume everyone who doesnt HAS to be straight, a ton of queer people don't come out to everyone and only let a select few trusted people know, why would the idols have to come out to +
