lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Why would SM bother with TaoHun though? You really think TaoHun would appeal to Koreans? Koreans don't understand Tao at the best of times, let alone why their angel boy Sehun would want to spend so much time with Tao. Tao isn't "good-looking" enough to be a popular ship with Sehun, in the typical Korean and Chinese fan's mind. Even if Sehun finds Tao so sexy and hot in reality - but shippers don't care what their idol thinks. Only who looks good together. Especially Chinese and Korean HunHan shippers. What? Sehun isn't put on any pedestal by Korean fans so whether Tao was good-looking enough for him probably doesn't matter to most since they hardly pay Sehun much attention to begin with. The only Chinese fans that have a problem with Taohun are hardcore Hunhan shippers and that's a minority considering Tao has one of the biggest Chinese fanbases. I don't think SM is pushing them at all but I think there is definitely a market for them if they're actively pushed and they're looking to make a new pairing happen. Hunhan is dead everywhere but China (they're still in the MAMA era in almost every aspect), Baekyeol is dry, and Taoris is still a mainstay (especially in variety) but not as intense as it used to be. So I can see Taohun becoming a bigger deal in the future, especially because it reinforces the whole "we are one" shtick when you have the two maknaes from each sub group of different nationalities being the bffs of EXO. Can't say that it wouldn't make for a good storyline (even if it's actually true). Edited February 5, 2014 by lovergurl 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) You didn't post Tao's message that followed the picture. I no longer doubt these two are together. This deffinetly reads like a letter to a lover... "I used to stroll om the beach alone-No, I am not a lonely person nor do I like being lonely. I just want to savor the moment until I find the right person and the best companion. Because then I’d tell him interesting things to share, those quiet but precious moment I had during my visits and he’d listen to me no matter how much I ramble on it. I am glad I didn’t have to wait any longer to find that person. I’d love to walk together with you in the next 10 years, 30 years, 50 years, even 100 years if God still grants us a life. Thanks, Hunhun.†Very touching but also very Tao didn't write this. It's fake. Someone just wrote it as part of like a fanfic thing they thought of when they saw the picture but it's not Tao's actual words. I mean I know Tao is bold and honest, but he isn't stupid to write something like that lol. I can only imagine the mayham if he actually did, lawd help the fandom if that ever happened.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Tao might not have written that, but I thought he changed his weibo default and it's a picture of that beach. I think that's interesting that he's suddenly decided to do that if it's true. Yea, he had the beach at his default and Sehun posted that picture of them on EXO's message board. This was his default And this is Sehun's message 140205 Sehun message 여러분 2014ë…„ EXO와 함께!! 모ë‘들 건강한 2014ë…„ ë˜ì„¸ìš”~ ì•„ìžì•„ìžì•„아아아아아으으ㅡㅇ으ㅡ으으아아아아아아아아아아아으으으앙아ã…아아아나아!!!! ì²ë„í•´ë³€ì—서- "Everyone 2014 with EXO!!

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Actually Tao does have his 'feminine mannerisms' moments. I'm fairly sure I've seen more of them from him than Sehun on Showtime tbh. Well I don't know if Showtime is the best way to judge since Sehun doesn't have anywhere near as much screentime as Tao on the show (or ever really) so I think it's always easier to pick up on Tao if you look at shows since he gets alot of attention in them whereas Sehun doesn't. If you go based on fancams, I'd say Sehun lets it out pretty often. But I agree they both have their moments.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 March 2013- Tao likes a Taohun fan video June 2013- Tao likes a post with Sehun pictures August 2013- Tao likes a Taohun fanfiction The first time you make a mistake its an accident, the second time you make the same mistake its on purpose, and the third time you make that same mistake its no longer a mistake, its a habit. The first two were likely on purpose, he probably saw it on his feed and liked it. I think he's liked other members pictures before if I'm not mistaken so I don't make too much of it. The last one I'm pretty positive was by accident. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah, but why he is in a place to find such things? Fans send him things all the time on weibo, he's probably seen alot worse honestly and alot were most likely not by choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah, no. Tao browses Weibo all the time on his own. Chinese fans are aware of this. Tao looks himself (and Sehun) up all the time. If it was an accident he would have needed to say that his finger slipped. And these are only the times that he was caught. 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.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) You doubt it? Tao was curious about some taomoaning.mp3 audio, posted half naked girls on his weibo, BUT GOD HE WOULD NEVER DARE TO BE CURIOUS ABOUT A FANFICTION. SOME FAN SENT IT TO HIM AND HE CLICKED IT ACCIDENTALLY AND LIKED IT ACCIDENTALLY, 0MG And why do you doubt that? You believe Park Bom is natural, G-Dragon never tried weed, and nobody is gay, right? Oh, I understand you. 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.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 She doubts everything about TaoHun. That's the only thing she ever posts about in here... discrediting these two gay boys who are all over each other (and visiting each other's families, no less. Yeah, that's normal.) 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. 19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) So, you think they're gay, you think they like each other... So what the fuck is your problem? Please explain. I'll listen. 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. But that's the only thing you ever post about in here... you just come across like a wet blanket a lot of the time. If you posted about other things, ok. But it's like it's your mission to contradict everything about TaoHun. It's like they could be having sex right in front on of you and you'd find an excuse for it. A lot of people can see something suspicious with TaoHun though. It's not jumping to conclusions. It's accepting that occasionally idols are gay and will fall in love. Not too uncommon. And I have never shipped anyone before. I saw they were obviously dating first from a video in here, and then it went from there. I don't have to ship them because they ship themselves. I don't know why it's so hard to believe that they are dating when they are basically acting like boyfriends. But ok. 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. Edited February 19, 2014 by lovergurl 13 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) It's actually you disagreeing with what I write a lot of the time. So that's why you come across like a Debbie Downer. I know enough about them to know their status so I don't really need another perspective, thanks. I think it's not realistic to think that every ship is real. But occasionally some will fall in love, yes. I post about TaoHun in here so others can enjoy their relationship, not for you to nitpick all the time. So please maybe you shouldn't respond to my posts anymore (since that's the only time you'd ever talk in this thread, to disagree with me.) So I'm requesting that you don't do that. I just don't know why YunJae was a legitimate couple and TaoHun aren't. I'm still waiting for the TaoHun sex tape to come out meanwhile... 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. Edited February 19, 2014 by lovergurl 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) It really is the only reason you post in this thread though, lol. It can get pretty tiring seeing that you've responded to my posts, because I already know what your post will be about. But like I said, all I can ask is that we agree to disagree and that you don't respond to my posts because I don't know if we'll ever see eye to eye on this TaoHun thing. 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.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I probably got confused, sorry. Lovergurl: If you see them hugging, laughing, spending all the time together, people are going to assume they're close and it's what everyone's going to assume. There is no need to see it ''in another way''. But you're going to say that well, this sort of situation happened, that happened, you're trying to make up excuses, but you shouldn't. You want to make a cat out of a potato, but I don't think that's possible. 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 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Nobody in this thread is planning out their future. NOBODY. You don't have a problem with Taohun, (which I thought at first), nor shipping (which I thought secondly), but rather a problem with your personality. I hope you can sort it out. Stop replying to me. Stop replying to others. You know there's something wrong when people are asking you to do that. 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.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Some of you are being so ridiculous right now. I’m all for shipping (clearly), but you shouldn't be attacking Lovergurl just because she doesn't think Taohun are boning each other every night. Listen, as much as shipping can be fun, it is not an established fact that Taohun are in a relationship and some of you should really stop acting like it is. I don't follow EXO so I don't have an opinion either way, but not even I act like it's a fact that Myungsoo and Sungjong are dating and I'm one of the biggest Myungjong shippers out there. Some of you have resorted to saying some really shitty things and frankly I think you need to stop. 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.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 What do you guys think about VIXX? I'm watching their MTV Diary and the only one that slightly pings me is N They kind of all seem straight to me idks 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Being uninterested in women is no sign, as is being friendly with them. Ever heard of fag hags? (soo offensive) Some gay guys love women, they just aren't attracted to them. 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. Edited February 22, 2014 by lovergurl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) So if I started calling you a fag that would be alright? 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. Edited February 22, 2014 by lovergurl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It's kind of offensive imo... I'm not a fag, and my girl friends aren't hags But I guess it depends on the people involved tbh. I find "queer" to be rather offensive, but some people quite like the term for some reason. I guess some people just like putting themselves and/or their friends down? Have you ever used the word "bitch" in a positive connotation with your friends before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 The underlying sentiment is the same either way, although calling someone a FRUIT seems to have less punch than yelling FAG at someone. And you don't see people holding up signs that say, "God hates fruits" Yes, thank you. That is what I was trying to say. I am not a fag and my lady friends are not hags. Uh....no. Never? You've never said like "she's a bad bitch" or "that's my bitch" in the way you would say like "that's my girl/homie"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) GOD HATES FRUIT, JUST LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO EVE I use it half-jokingly if I'm mildly annoyed, like "bitch please" and stuff, but never with a purely positive connotation. I just don't see the need to try to use bad words in good ways when we already have good words that work perfectly fine. Interesting. Well there are certain terms that had negative connotation associated with it but have become so widely used in a more positive way that most just don't see it as offensive anymore (given the intention behind it of course). Personally, I think that's nice...to turn something negative into positive. No. I have never felt the need to say that. I suspect it comes from our different social circles. Also, if I were more active in gay culture(whatever that is) then I might be more apt to using those terms. Well, it's not really a gay culture thing. It's more of a younger generation thing. Having experienced different social circles, many use terms like that on the regular because it's socially acceptable now, gay or not.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Just because it is socially acceptable doesn't make it right. Doesn't mean it's wrong either. If the individual doesn't find it offensive, then I don't think there is anything wrong with it...that's what matters in the first place. It all depends on how you see it I guess. The offensiveness of certain terms is subjective. It's like impossible for "bitch" to ever have a positive connotation because the word per se is always derogating. "Queer", on the other hand, has the original meaning of "eccentric" or "unconventional" so I guess some people like being called "queer" if they enjoy the air of esotericism. Eh, to me it's all about the intention behind it. You can change the meaning of a word through time anyways, it doesn't have to stay a derogatory term. It happens all the time in language.

lovergurl 2,564 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) The intention can't justify the word choice. Good intention but wrong word choice leading to an inadvertent offense is as culpable as deliberate offense. I find it being used as an excuse for the refusal to take responsibility for your own words rather laughable. Besides, how can we always interpret the intention of the derogatory word as exactly what the speaker has in his/her mind? But if you know the person you're saying it to does not take offense to it or does not view it negatively, then how is it considered offensive? Whether someone views certain words (like bitch, queer, and fag) offensively is subjective, thus whether the word is actually offensive is subjective because everyone doesn't take certain words to mean in the literal definition. Certain words take up different meanings along the way in society. You can't always interpret it but you can the majority of the time. Plus like I said, alot of the time it really depends on the context of which the word is said and by whom. Most people know when to say certain things and when not to and who they can say it to.
