Giving more fuel for their fans to ship real life people like they’re yaoi characters.
I’m full fujo trash and yet I have never understood, for the life of me, people who ship real, breathing people. Don’t care if it’s queer or straight, I’ve always hated it, and I get so mad when I see how Real Person Fanfiction (RPF) will have thousands of docs on AO3, while some of my fandoms are starved for scraps. Like I wish I had no standards and liked reality, but alas, I can’t get into it.
Maybe it’s just cause I’m not invested in romance outside of 2d characters but god…
I thought you were talking about human trafficking. Like “those delinquents are very inconsiderate to to their victims. They should as if they are gay”. Thankfully, someone explained
“ship real life people” what does this mean “to ship people”?
It means thinking they should be together in a relationship (ship comes from the word relationship, I believe). This is a thing that people do a lot in fandoms for fiction stuff. Like shipping two characters together from comics or a TV show or whatever.
And Lemmy itself does one example of shipping that is iconic:
It’s not a ship if its real
We didn’t do that, the writers of Deep Space 9 did. We just like that they did. A lot.
Thanks for asking
Good for him. I hope the fans support him.
Isn’t Japan like REALLY homophobic?
he’s from south korea
Oh. Shit. Now I feel like a racist.
The title said “Korean”, how did you get Japan?
I know… that is why I feel bad.
And what did you think the “K” stood for??
That’s surprising. I assumed most of them were gay
I just read somewhere that fans went CRAZY when a Korean idol shared that she had a boyfriend and was planning to marry him. Like, she had to go into hiding.
I wonder how it’ll be for Kpop girls who thirst for a guy to then reveal he’s not into them.
The K-pop girls are all furiously writing boylove fanfics as we speak
Notice how the headline implies there could be more.
Two gay men?
Could you imagine?
My god. Exponential growth.
Soon it’ll be four gay men. Then Eight. Then Sixteen!
Damn you Rice on a Chessboard problem!
Maybe more
First because no one has ever done it before.
Sounds like they are trying to infer.
Sounds like you are.
Nope just reading between the lines. That kinda speech is reserved for world records. It strikes me as unusual to use it this way.
First to come out as.
There’s no reason to use first.
That is literally the meaning of first. Nobody has done it before. It does not necessarily imply there will be a second
I read it as “first to come out while still active in K-pop”, but even that seems inaccurate and there are lists of people who have come out.
