Which male idols do you think are gay?
hella replied to cold soba's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
It's always been my experience that gay men are less likely to seek out les/bi women in media to sympathize with, whereas most les/bi women I know including myself tend to be interested in LGB stories in general. IMO it's a symptom of misogyny, which we ALL have internalized to some degree, gay/bi men included. I know this is a huge generalization lol so forgive me, but it's just something I have always noticed about fandom in the looong time I've been involved with it. Plus like, fetishization implies some sort of prurient interest in reducing gay men to sexual objects which is... not my experience with this thread at all lol. There are occasions where I have been uncomfortable with the way commenters sort of treat idols like ken dolls to mash together, but it gets called out and negged p consistently. -

To me, those jokes always come across like a double bluff to me, like "if he's joking about it, it can't be true." That shit works, how many times have people said shit like "if he was actually gay he wouldn't be so flamboyant" about Heechul. As far as to whether or not it's homophobic, a gay dude living in Korea would definitely know better than I would. The points he made seemed legitimate. Do either Heechul or Daewhi intend to be homophobic? Probs not, but I can definitely see what he's saying about playing into the audience's homophobia for humor. -

I'm pretty sure he's said that people haven't. -

The song's about daydreaming because he can't do everything he wants to do because he's under a microscope as a celebrity. There are translated lyrics on the mv if you enable closed captions. -

I know those fans won't ever see the irony because it requires a degree of self-awareness they seem to lack, but the reason Namjoon is more cagey about this kind of shit is because he's the mouthpiece for the group and he knows how easily what he says can be twisted to harm them... like what's happening rn. Plus he's just not as straightforward and blunt as Yoongi is. Namjoon is (at the least) an ally, he's made it clear over and over. -

This is from an article for Esquire Korea about BTS, written by a KHH-specialist journalist... I thought it was interesting that a Korean journalist was recognizing the LGBT fanbase as an important part of their success in the west. It sort of follows the narrative that LGBT people are getting more visibility in Korea... I feel like even 2-3 years ago, even if a journalist recognized that an artist had a significant LGBT fanbase they would never choose to bring it up. Sorry if this is not 100% on topic, just thought it was cool/interesting. -

Key’s letter gave me a lot of hope for his mental wellbeing. He’s obviously devastated, but he seems to have reached a degree of acceptance that seems healthy. I think he’ll be ok. Oh Jonghyun. This is all so awful. -

I actually am in the minority here bc I think Hobi pings pretty consistently, the time he accidentally said he wanted a boyfriend before correcting wouldn't be so suspicious if it hadn't been almost completely wiped off the internet for some reason lol. -

I am sure he is specifically referring to MCU Loki but in the Agent of Asgard comics, Loki is canonically pan and genderfluid js. -

Sorry, I know plenty of people don't like the term "queer" used even in a reclamatory sense but I was using it as a catchall to refer to the aesthetics, not individual LGBT people. -

It's drawing on a lot of queer aesthetics with the lithe choreography and styling with the high waisted pants and nipples peeking out, plus the women are not eroticized even though he himself is. It actually reminded me a lot of like, late 80s early 90s Madonna which drew very heavily from the New York City ball scene and gay designers like Jean Paul Gaultier. It's not like, crazy in your face homoerotic but I think the influence of queer art is pretty blatant to me. You could probably make a point that it's removed from its original context and those of us who recognize it are reaching though I suppose. -

there is 0 reason to be this smug and condescending... also if you're a native korean and not some random homophobe why do you talk like half of stan twitter lol nothing you are saying here is news to anybody btw. like, you really think in all 3000+ pages nobody else has thought to mention that maybe things that ping in the west may not be indicators in korea? you're really not. you're just here to be defensive and condescending to gay people because it hurts your feelings some of us think your fave might be gay also, as far as jimin using his busan satoori to sound "manly" you should probably google code switching -

It was on Problematic Men or whatever, that show he was a cast member of. He mentioned reading a book that featured an MMF threesome and getting ~excited lol. I cannot for the life of me remember what the book was tho. -

I have to say I'm team bi RM. He's a vocal ally, sure, but that thing about him getting turned on by an MMF threesome and casually mentioning it on television screams "bi but in denial" to me lol
