Fiction is not reality.

You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.

No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.

No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.

You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.

Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.

The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.

Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.

Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.

I am a normal person who understands thought crimes are not real, fiction is not reality, and people can read/write/enjoy whatever they want as long as it’s fiction and no one in real life is harmed. I don’t have to like it, because I know how to mute, block and scroll past what I don’t want to see. Overall I think labels are childish, but by definition I am proship and profic. I am also against censorship.

Fascism and this moral panic of wanting to be seen as a good person who is “uncorrupt and pure” IS invading fandom spaces, and if that doesn’t scare you, then it really should.

Fuck fascism. Fuck censorship.

it's weird and it's pathetic to see someone try so hard to maintain being the centre of hate attention , like it's corny as fuck please get a job "look within the community 👀👀👀👀" like wrap it up brother no one has that much free time within the community

It's not like I didn't admire him before. I always knew he was a reliable leader, especially at such a young age. I knew he was talented, hardworking, and someone the group and fans could lean on. But something about this past month…it changed the way I see him entirely. My respect and adoration for him haven't just grown, they've multiplied in a way that feels overwhelming even to me.

Because now, I'm not just seeing Jungwon as a leader or an idol. I'm seeing him as someone who is trying, desperately, and consistently while carrying so much more than he ever lets on.

It's so painfully obvious that he, along with the other members, is under immense pressure right now and what hurts even more is knowing that they barely had time to process the fans' reactions to everything that happened. Even if they knew about Heeseung's departure beforehand, that doesn't mean they were prepared for the emotional aftermath that followed.

And yet…they still showed up. They still came online, they still spoke to us, they still tried to comfort us when, if anything, they probably needed that comfort themselves. (I genuinely wish belift had given them time to breathe, to process everything before pushing them back into the public eye.)

But even among all of them, Jungwon stood out to me in a way I can't ignore. He's been so present, so consistent, it feels too idk what exact word to use but…intentional maybe?

The number of lives he's done this past month alone says everything. It's like he's trying, again and again, to reach out, to close the distance, to make sure we don't feel alone in all of this and it's not just the lives, it's the little things too.

The way he says he misses us, the way he mentions he's thinking about us, the way he keeps showing up, even when it must be exhausting. How do you not fall for someone like that? How do you not feel your heart ache a little when you realize how much he is giving, even in a time like this?

And maybe that's why it hurt so much to see the hate directed at him because genuinely…how? How can people look at someone who is trying this hard, who is carrying himself with so much responsibility and grace, and still choose to tear him down? The things people say, the way they twist his words to fit their narratives, the judgements they throw around so carelessly, it's honestly astonishing in the worst way possible.

It made me realize something, though, that sometimes, the people who are holding everything together are also the ones quietly breaking under the weight of it all. We just plast the "you are a strong person" tag on their shoulder and leave them to deal with it. And Jungwon…he's holding so much right now.

Which is why, somewhere along the way this past month, I developed such a soft spot for him that it almost scares me, not just admiration, not just respect but something deeper, something protective, something that makes me want to shield him from all of this, even though I know I can't.

I just…love him truly, and deeply (lowkey I don't even think love is the proper word to explain what I am feeling but it's the closest ig), and I hope (more than anything) that he knows he’s loved just as much as he's trying to love everyone else.

Sometimes when I get his weverse notification I quietly mumble "you should rest instead, it's your free time afterall" but then I remember I'm no different, he said a couple days ago (or yesterday, I don't remember clearly) that he couldn't sleep so he is online. I will wish to the water fountain to ease his anxiety and worries so that he will be able to sleep well.
