About number 1, I partly agree because people who do that are international twitter stans. I really don’t think that some cringey fans spamming “idol gay” in english on twitter is gonna be harmful to an idol’s career. And Korea really turns a blind eye to gay rumors, unless it’s like a huge rumor they usually pay no mind to it. That being said, it is very disrespectful (and harmful) when fans go to idols’ lives and ask if they’re gay.

For number 2, yes I completely agree. I don’t think it should be treated as a joke. I meant to say it’s not harmful when gay people talk about it in a clearly not assuming way, not making any confirmations and talking between themselves only. But I might be wrong, idk. I just think it’s not as bad as people say because I never saw it as a delicate subject if people are not spreading things.

I’m probably gonna delete everything when I wake up tho cause I have social anxiety but thanks for being nice :)
