Do you think closet gay idols are "pathological liars"?

I think you need to look up the definition of 'pathological liar' and also realise that besides being a personal choice that none of us are owed an explanation for, coming out is literally very unsafe for a large number of people (in Korea and all over the world).

Well I am not really sure if they are considered as "pathological liar" that's why I quote it so that you can correct me. But is it not pathological liar can be a person who creates lie to enhance his standing or personal image? This is somewhat what closet idols are doing I think.

No that's not what a pathological liar is at all. And they aren't doing it to 'enhance their standing' so much as to survive and have an equal shot at a career as their straight counterparts. And if that was the case, all idols can be considered liars since so much of their image is manufactured for the public eye.

They're not trying to enhance their standing or image but rather to protect themselves from the abuse and discrimination that open LGBT people deal with everyday. The amount of LGBT people I've seen or heard of being abused, harassed, treated different makes me lose faith in humanity.

Idols survive off their image, in a country like South Korea where homosexuality is seen as taboo their image would be ruined. Can you imagine the abuse and harassment they would get if they came out when NB comments are already as bad as it is?

Well I will just quote here what I have read before

 

 

 

 A pathological liar is a person which creates lies for several different reasons. One to enhance his standing or personal image, usually this is the case of one who has self esteem problems and wishes to expound himself.
is a behavior of habitual or compulsive lying

 

Is it not continuously withholding the truth to the public is already a habitual lying? Withholding the truth can be define as lying too. I feel like they are misleading the people (whether intentionally or not) of what they really are. 

 

But of course this is just my opinion.  :)
