"but we talking about cishet women--"

no you're not, since the beginning this rethoric has been used in western fandom spaces to degrade, demonize and invalidate gay trans men

the end of that sentence in quotations at the top is "...and they fetishize them so bad they start wanting to be men so they can force and trick cis gay men into fucking pussy"

that idea is only ever used to hurt cis queer women who are passionate about erotic art and fiction, closeted individuals who try to explore their sexuality and gender in a safe space, children who definitely should not be in these spaces but no one knows how to keep them out so obv they have no idea how to react to the inappropriate content they consume and out mlm and nblm trans individuals who want to create art representing them

Artists Against AI

In an era when artificial intelligence (AI) is alarmingly encroaching on creativity and copyright, SEVENTEEN are artists who are blatantly, loudly, and immovably protesting against the use of AI, precisely through their own artistry—unquestionably declaring their stance through music of their own creation.

In their award-winning performance of their song "Maestro" at the 2024 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), where they were awarded the daesang (grand prize) for Album of The Year and Artist of The Year, they open their stage with this:

A robot acts as the conductor that SEVENTEEN and their dancers seemingly try to follow, yet it is clear that the resulting music is discordant and everything is in disharmony.

It is here that S.COUPS, SEVENTEEN's General Leader, steps forward and grabs the baton from the robot, declaring without a doubt who the real Maestro of that stage should be.

The Two Captains then follow suit, with S.COUPS now relinquishing the baton to Performance Team Leader HOSHI, who now takes centerstage as is his command, as Vocal Team Leader and Producer WOOZI reclaims control of the music as he plays on the piano.

HOSHI is now the real Maestro of the stage, WOOZI the real Maestro of the music, and S.COUPS the real Maestro of the group and their rapt audience.

SEVENTEEN's three leaders will always be the only ones the members will follow.

Here, they declare without a doubt who the real Maestro are:

It will always, always be human creators.

If you close your eyes, wonderful things can happen...
