Have you ever used the word "bitch" in a positive connotation with your friends before?

Wow, alot of Tao shipping threads lately haha. I wonder which Tao ship is next. Anyways, Tao and Kai interactions aren't actually that rare. I mean they're not the closest to each other but the maknae line in general seem to have their own thing going on sometimes. Kai just keeps to himself more than the other two.

Some people don't have a problem with that term depending on what context it's used in, what the intentions behind it are, and/or how close people are to each other. It's not an exclusively offensive term.

I meant interested as in attracted to them. He seemed like he was attracted to some of the females he's interacted with, not all but some. He can be pretty flirtatious with them and then there's other he didn't seem to care that much for. That's just me though.

None of the members have given me the indication that they're gay, they all seem fairly into women given their interactions with them and they do have alot of that compared to other boy groups so I think it's easier to tell with them. I know N gets thrown out there sometimes and I can understand why, he can fit certain stereotypes well but he seems genuinely interested in women when he's around them and with men, he doesn't seem particularly into them in a sexual way. He can just be sassy sometimes but in terms of genuine attraction, I think he's into women. Who knows though, he could be bi.

Yes, Tao is like a clingy Koala bear with him and seems really obedient compared to the other members. It's weird, Suho and Kris really do act like the mom and dad and Tao really does act like their son based on how he interacts with each lol

No problem ^^ I think in general alot of the members' jokes are taken too seriously, that's why the more talkative members like Baek, Chanyeol, and Tao tend to get misunderstood alot of times with things they say (from intl fans atleast). People just blow it out of proportion. I'm assuming it has to do mainly with the fandom being relatively young so everything is just made to be more dramatic than it actually is. Compared to the insults I've seen from other groups, EXO are actually pretty tame with their teasing lol.

Omg, Umma and Son <3 I love them, so precious I really appreciate how Tao is always praising Suho, I feel like he doesn't get it enough sometimes. "At the most annoying, most tiring times, there is one person who can console me, keep me accompanied by my side, holding my hand and say ‘Everything’s fine, Tao.’, everything feels like it has disappeared. (In Korean) Umma, thank you."

I mean I can understand that sometimes it seems like he does it incessantly or a little too much but people seem to get mad at him because of the content and I don't think he's actually said anything out of line or out of malicious and I think people don't take into account Tao's reaction and moreso how they feel about it themselves...projecting their feelings onto him I guess. There's alot of times where Baek is actually really encouraging to Tao with his Korean or just in general, he honestly has alot of patience with him. Just people seem to focus when he teases him more so it tends to give a skewed view of things. But I'm glad you like them more ^^

Which reminds me, I hope someone makes a Sutao thread. Tao pairings are my fav Anyways, interesting that some people didn't know Baek and Tao were so close. I always find it weird when some people in the fandom (in general) have questioned their friendship or how close they are, Tao seems to be Baek's favorite maknae...he doesn't pay nearly as much attention to most other members as much as he does Tao. In terms of how people tend to get annoyed Baek about the teasing, honestly I've found that some people in the fandom are just either extremely sensitive or don't really understand sarcasm well because what Baek does to Tao is totally normal. Almost every close friendship I've been apart of or have witnessed has alot of teasing and sarcasm involved, I myself am extremely sarcastic in real life and the things I say would probably make me seem like an utter bitch if people have such a problem with what Baek says bc he's honestly pretty tame compared to what I'm used to. Neither seems to take it seriously so I'm not really sure why some have such a problem with it. I feel like sometimes people are just looking for something to bitch at. Anyone can tell they both really like each other and that it's all in good fun. I doubt Tao is going home crying himself to sleep about it. He seems ultra attached to Baek anyways so people should probably take that as a hint that maayyybbeee Tao doesn't actually mind and has a better sense of humor then some fans do.

Yea, the rumor is that a fan gave the gift to him which could be possible given the price range.

In general yes, but this specific ring is only about $150.

Yea, he said he was prepping for the new album but the comeback is still most likely gonna be a long while from now. They only just really started prepping, it takes months for everything to get finished so I wouldn't expect anything until the second half of the year or close to it (like around April) unless they rush things.

What's really funny about all this is that if Taohun were ever confirmed to be real, I'd probably be the first one jumping for joy and hoping to get an invite to their wedding I'd love nothing more than for them (and Myungjong) to be real and have some grand love story to go with it but I just don't think it's at that level yet. Sue me.

Oh you mean when the only time I've ever been asked to not reply to someone in my entire time in any forum was from two of the most delusional/hardcore Taohun shippers? Because I don't think Oppars are the apple of each other's eye? Riiiight. I have alot of sorting out to do. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Please

Assuming they're close and assuming their jumping each other's bones every night as they talk about how deeply in love they are and planning out their future together are two very different things. I see some people do alot of the latter and that's where I'm like

The discussions in general and EXO are the main reason I post in this thread, not you. You just happen to post mainly about Taohun and alot of them are so...exaggerated to say the least. But yea, we can agree to disagree. However, if I think you're making some ridiculous claim about something, then I'll call you out on it. Otherwise, we can ignore each other.

Nah, I've disagreed with you before but your posts are hardly the reason I post in this thread or the only one I reply to. I'm fairly certain I've had lengthy discussions with many in this thread, both with agreeable and disagreeable views so don't consider yourself all that important. But if you only feel like posting about Taohun's great love with no one refuting or challenging your arguments, it's probably best you stay in the shipper thread where people will appreciate it more. This isn't the thread for it.

I don't have a problem. I think the likelihood of them being a legitimate couple at this stage is slim and while there is alot of evidence to suggest that they're attracted to each other and obviously close, there isn't enough to say they're dating. Alot of the "evidence" people use to say they're definitely a couple is stuff that can be explained, things that can happen between really close friends so I feel alot of people just jump the gun and come up with alot of assumption with them and run with it. Given how popular the ship is getting, stuff like that can get really annoying really quick. Erm, no that's not the only thing I post about. I mainly post about Taohun and EXO, yes, because they're the most talked about in here and they're the only ones that I really follow of the main idols that are discussed here so I chime in when I feel like it. It's not some mission to contradict everything about Taohun, but like I said people get carried away with them and that's when sometimes I want to comment to bring another perspective instead of everyone being like "omgzthey'reinLOVE" all the time. I mean, if everyone is just spazzing, it wouldn't be much of a discussion would it? Sometimes it's nice to think of some other alternatives, it's what makes discussions interesting and you can gain new perspectives from it. I know having posted in this thread since May, some of my perspectives on certain things have changed, including Taohun, based on the discussions here. Honestly, what you're accusing me of is no different than how you always post about how in love they are or how great their relationship is. We just disagree on certain things about them. If I seem like a debbie downer to you in regards to them, that's not my intention. I'm just being as realistic as possible when it comes to them. You are definitely free to disagree and believe in them as a couple.

It's not about discrediting them, it's about being realistic about them because people get so carried away about them in here. I don't know how many times I have to say that I think both of them are gay and that there is a high chance they're into each other given how they are around each other so no I don't discredit them. But I'm also not going to jump to all these conclusions about "their love" and how strong their relationship is etc based on certain events. People are allowed to believe what they want but I just think people can take it down a notch when it comes to them and not see things through their shipper eyes all the time. I'm really not here for them to be treated like the next Yunjae.

So....nothing. I was just saying. Why so serious?

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? That's a shit ton of assumptions (and wrong ones at that) to make about me from one post about Tao's weibo escapades.

Yea but most people came to his defense if I remember correctly, it was just a loud minority. I know some Sehun and Tao fans were fighting over stupid shit when the whole thing happened, I'm sure he's over it by now if it actually affected him. Some shipped just take things too seriously.

Obviously he browses on his own but there are also alot of times where fans will send him alot of things in the comments section (which he reads often), some of them happen to be inappropriate or shipping related. I don't doubt he's looked himself up or Sehun or other members, just that it's also highly likely some things were sent to him as well or he ran across them as he was searching himself. Like I said the first two seemed on purpose, but the fanfic was most likely a finger slip which is possible. He could have looked up taohun, but I doubt he was trying to read fanfics about them.

Well I don't care to pull in other ships, just saying that that's where alot of the bashing comes from in terms of Taohun or ships in general, when people take shipping a little too seriously and feel their ship is being "threatened" you could say.
