#i feel like this is a zoomer thing and im not impressed

[resldue]

"why is it that gay movies/shows always have to be about coming out, why cant they just be gay" listen man as a bonafide dyke myself i get it, but for some of us who grew up in an enviroment that oppressed our sexuality this type of content is very important and cathartic

its so frustrating to me when i see people complain about a media being about kids or teens or even adults coming out. like i get it, i really do, i promise. but for me, its very cathartic. i never got to come out as a teen. i came out when i was like 18.

because thats when i was finally out of school and out of an enviroment where i was literally physically, mentally and emotionally abused by other kids who were already bullying and abusing me because they already suspected me to be gay

watching people come out and have a cute romance thats new territory for them in shows/media/books/etc. is incredibly cathartic for me. it makes me happy. i love seeing it. it makes me feel better about myself. i get that not everything is about me or my own trauma, but that doesnt mean its not a little harmful to constantly see people moan and cry about something i find such comfort and consolation in. if you didnt like something because it was a coming out story and you just wanted them to be gay and it not be a big deal, thats ok

but recognize that there are gay people out there to whom this kind of story is incredibly important. just say you didnt like it for (x) and move on. dont bash that it exists the way it exists. i get the frustration, but i feel frustrated in turn about these complaints.

ooooh btob for the kpop group thingy ????

yay! thanks!

btob

i would say… I’m familiar

•favorite member if I have one

ilhoon and eunkwang! ilhoon was, like, one of the first male idols I got a positive impression of when I got into kpop (even if they’re a nice a lot of idols…just don’t register unless their music or personalities interest me…preferably both lmao) but yeah I was a v casual ilhoon liker for a little while then lmao (still like him! but I know a lot more abt the group now lol)

•favorite song(s)

movie is so fun!! it’s very upbeat and just idk… so dynamic? not one part of it feels out of place to me and i even don’t mind that autotuned post chorus…incredible. this is my most listened song by them by far hsjsjs maybe it’s a basic choice idk. and I think singing along w eunkwang that I’ll be new and manly every day (at least that’s the youtube translation) is a fun thing to do 🙈 i also think friend is really sweet and I’ll be your man is so extremely dramatic … I love that part with the very intense singing harmonizing with intense rapping. also bull’s eye that they played in pentagon’s variety lab… I sound like such a zoomer …

i only think I’ve heard like 10% of their discography… one day I’ll get there maybe. oh and I listened to hyunsik’s mini once and really liked docking and black :)

•why I don’t stan (yet)/if I want to

I just… have not listened to that much of their music, and out of what I’ve heard there’s a lot that I think is objectively kinda good but not really my thing. but it could also turn out that that 90% I haven’t heard has a higher ratio of songs I like. i could end up stanning them and also not… I don’t know lmao. i morally support them anyway Kpop Needs Them, even if im not a ~fan~ if that makes sense…

•question for veteran fans

…where does one start listening? what are your favorite songs/albums of theirs?

thank you for asking 💖💖💖💖
