Wow. You're... special.

you almost singlehandedly have turned off any person who might want to participate in fandom secrets.

You've got me there. I'm actually sockpuppeting the oh... *checks* 700+ comments on this post alone. I am a lonely and vengeful god who has destroyed F!S and re-created it in my own image, and you stumbled upon my multiple personality-fueled dystopia, and have now finally uncovered the awful truth behind it. Dun-dun-duuuuuh!

Being dismissed as a gullible child because I dare to think that you can tell something of a person from the things they do and say, even within an entertainment industry (And holy shit, all entertainment industries are tightly controlled! The Korean isn't actually more so than the history of American music!

No, you're dismissed as a gullible child because you say dumb shit like that. There's a reason why, if you google "k-pop contracts" the first four results are "slave contracts." Hell, there's a reason why "slave contract" is a K-pop created term.

Truly unless you're secretly BoA you have no right to talk the constant shit and hide behind the veils of "Well I'm not saying the singers are bad people! I'm just saying that everything you find personal meaning in isn't real!"

Holy shit, you unbelievably delusional fanbrat! They aren't! And it's not. It's not my fault that you believe in RPS fiction and demand everyone else play along with your crazy. Do me a favor and go over to the Supernatural RPF section and read some of the gems of how very terrible the actors are, for not only having children with their wives, but daring to let this be publicly known, when the fans know that truly, they're supposed to be having gay sex with their co-stars. and when you've had enough and start thinking "Holy shit, these people are delusional," turn around and examine the shit you say about your K-pop stars. Maybe you'll understand how silly you're being then.

I am truly sobbing because you will always control this forum with your negative language.

Kid, I ignore most k-pop secrets on this board, because I don't have an interest in discussing which indentured servant performer I find the hottest. Very rarely, someone says something either interesting enough to comment on, or something stupid enough to transcend fandom. If what I'm getting from this is accurate, a vast majority of the stupid ones that I commented on were yours. But I don't know you and the secrets are anon, so I can't be doing it to you on purpose now, can I? The logical answer is that you post very stupid things that happen to be related to K-pop. This theory is supported by the fact that you're sobbing because someone online told you that your fandom is fictional.

TL;DR: RPS isn't real. Steven Colbert isn't really a hardcore Republican, Dean and Castiel's actors aren't banging and sending secret coded messages about their love to the fans, and your favorite k-pop drama isn't real either. You don't know them, you don't have any special connection to them, and if you're finding "personal meaning" in fiction, that's fine, but that doesn't make fiction real. Santa isn't real either. If you stick to the inner sanctums of k-pop fandom, you might keep your delusions unchallenged, but outside of that, you're in the same category as tinhatters, people who believe Star Trek's real, and the nuttier bits of the Supernatural RPS fandom.

naryt

this was a satisfying read, but mostly because the number of times i've seen people refer to kpop boybands as being easier to write into RPF and roleplay here creeps me the fuck out, and it's uncomfortable to see the musician's personal relationships constantly being analyzed within the context of a fandom that routinely turns them into fictional characters to mess around with as they see fit

dunno if the OP is on any of those trains, but it's really weird to see someone bring up a potentially serious moral and social issue and the main quibble isn't the undercurrent of potential exploitation and deeply ingrained homophobia, but whether or not these things are bad enough to deter interest or not

it's not bad if you find them hot or love the fanservice and enjoy kpop in general, but you gotta understand that there's going to be people who aren't going to react well to that little conundrum and it's not because they're manipulative shitheads
