I think something that infuriates Christians and a lot of traditionally minded people in general is realizing they had a choice but didn't take it so now they have to justify it.

Like realizing they didn't have to carry that pregnancy to term when they weren't totally ready for a child. Realizing that letting something happen to you is just as much making a choice as changing it. That infuriates them I think. Or maybe it makes them double down.

Another example: we notice newlywed Christians talking about how HARD marriage is and how men are incompetent but still should be in charge, and they're basically just preaching to themselves to justify their decision to settle for someone who is careless and disgusts them.

Like when people suggest that men and women aren't so different, that men aren't just sexually driven monsters, that there's good men out there, that you can actually not marry a man if you hate them so much, that is a threat to them. Because they didn't conceive those options before and now they've made their choice.

I think that's one reason why they hate LGBT people so much. Because out LGBT chose to live in a way that fits their genuine attraction or gender and makes them happy instead of miserable. And I think part of them goes "That was an option? I could be happy and not just holy? That can't be right. Must be sinful."

Besides the Christian Republican propaganda, and the holding up cis hetero patriarchy, and just personal disgust with everything unlike them, I think some small part of them realizes they could have made different choices and been happy. They could have lived their life on purpose instead of just following rules.

Hi, I am a baby ARMY and I would like to ask a quick question (love your blog and your answers to asks, I feel like I learn something new with every post (also new to tumblr and I love it so far!))? I have never really joined a fandom before so this was like reading a book to me almost. Everything is sparkles and rainbows until you read what is actually being said in subtext. Then you learn that everything is kinda poop because that's just life lol. However, I still love it and I have learned to just block certain things and people and move on. Saves me a lot of time and stress. Your post about the JK and JM ad really did open my eyes because I thought people, specifically Kookminers, were being ridiculous. Little did I know that I, myself, was being ridiculous. I did not take SK culture into the equation at all and I truly regret that now and will try to do better in the future. International ARMYs bother me when they try to claim something is wrong and/or state something as fact when they have done little to no research into the SK culture (I will learn from these mistakes and try my best to do better). Well, before I get even more distracted, my question is why do International ARMYs make such a big deal out of skinship (when I first started watching BTS content, I knew that it had to be normal in SK to do casual affection or sometimes more with friends, which is actually really sweet)? Shippers use it to prove their ship is "real" and I just don't get it (I have seen this done with some other kpop groups I recently got into)? They even take these moments out of context, which is weird if you have watched original content. So, what's the big deal?

I hope this ask isn't too much and if you have already talked about this then please provide a link as I would love to read it! Thank you so much! 💜

Hello baby army!

You are so sweet, thank you. Have a kiss from Jin! Thank you for the sweet words. It means a lot and I'm glad you've found my posts helpful for the most part.

Let's talk about skinship. Skinship is not what makes a ship sink or swim. It is super common to be touchy and casual with close friends. International fans sometimes struggle with what's friendly and whats more than when it comes to skinship simply because it is not the norm for us. It is even less in the norm for us to see these causal touches between men. If you saw two women snuggled up on the couch together, you wouldn't have a hard time accepting they are only friends. But seeing two men do the same thing and people feel like they would only do that if they are romantically involved. Men need more platonic affection, seriously.

It would be normal to see 2 men who are good friends holding hands walking down the street. Hugs and head kisses are also the norm. Feeding each other, hugs, cuddles all normal between good friends and people you care about/trust. International fans blow it out of proportion because they are used it and don't take the culture into consideration. Just like the fansite anniversary ads that you mentioned. So what's the big deal with the skinship? There isn't. Unless you count that it showcases how cute, lovable and sweet all their bonds are together, because that is definitely true!

BTS is even closer than your normal "close friends." I've said it a lot and I'll continue to say it often. BTS have some weird boundaries with each other, meaning they really don't have any. Lmao. I think part of that stems from how tightly packed into a one bed one bath dorm they were for such a long time. Sleeping, showering, eating, going to the bathroom all literally on top of each other and sometimes with each other when short on time... well that bonds you in ways other people probably couldn't ever really understand. So their skinship gets even more "next level" at times without it changing from platonic levels.

Context and intention is super important in understanding if skinship is platonic or romantic in nature. You can have a friend slap your ass, call you hot as all hell, kiss your forehand, rub your thigh and tuck you under their arm for cuddles, and it be nothing but platonic. And honestly, I swear BTS, especially Jungkook, have a secret love language of ass slapping. Its constant with them!

There definitely is a difference though with context and intention in how BTS touch each with normal skinship and say (we all knew this was coming, you know who I think are more than just platonic in bts) how Jungkookie will sometimes melt when Jimin touches him. Or say how flustered Jikook make each other with simple touches. Context and intention. For example, normal skin skip, a sweet YoonMin back hug:

And then we have Jikook, same type of hug, same moment of resting their head on the person they are hugging. The vibe though? Totally different. The context and intention, not the same. It feels *different*:

We have moments where Jungkook piggybacks everyone and everyone enjoys carrying Jimin around and Jimin gives out a few rides as well:

And then we have Jikook on stage piggybacks:

Its not a competition or really a comparison. They are all special and beautiful moments between every single one of them. But when you look at skinship, its important to make sure you recognize what you are seeing within the norms of the Korean Culture and not through a western gaze. BTS are all overly touchy and all over each other. Its important to not base a "ship" just on skinship. I think Jikook are more than platonic because of many many reasons, which I have talked about before in my Vminkook Dynamics part 3 post. Most of which is the exclusivity and uniqueness they have to their bond and how they seek each other out all the time. The skinship can play into it, but its also so much more than that.

Its the eyes starting to close and the contentment in his smile for me...

Thanks for asking! I hope this helped clear things up and was what you were looking for and that it all made sense! If you were wanting to talk about any particular type of skinship instead of just in general, please let me know. Welcome to the ARMY!
