(ALL) Hot Take #16
This is a Hot Take for every single fandom that has ever existed on planet earth. It’s kind of a two in one. First off.Â
Not every character/person is gay.
LGBT+ ships. Gotta love em. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally fine to ship characters who haven’t been confirmed nor denied as gay. Although according to the internet every character to ever exist is LGBT+ even those who’ve been confirmed otherwise. To each their own. But when it comes to real life people; if someone has out right said that they are not gay or that they are uncomfortable with shipping (gay shipping specifically); Don’t. Post. About. It. Being shipped with someone who is of your gender(s) of preference is already uncomfortable enough, don’t make it worse. If they are LGBT, but they’re just not out doesn’t matter. Don’t. Post. About. It. If you have a ship that a person involved with has said they are uncomfortable with, keep it to yourself or at least mark it in such a way that the person in question will not see it. Such as, (using BTS as example) ‘T*aekook is the cutest ship every omgomgomg!!!’ or ‘Every single B*TS member is LGBT+ and I love it!!’. This stops it from showing up on a simple search of a name, but others who agree with you can still find it. Remember that shipping people can ruin friendships, especially if it’s a LGBT+ ship and the people involved aren’t LGBT+.Â
Point Two :
Stop. Sexualizing. Underage. Characters/People.
I don’t know how many times I have to say this. I don’t care if ‘it’s just a character’ is fucking weird and creepy, especially if you’re of age. Just don’t do it. It’s a different story if you’re also underage, but don’t make drawing of them doing explicit acts and then post about it, allowing people of age to see. Specifically those who are pedophiles, or MAPs. If you’re going to draw or write about that, keep it do yourself. Although, it’s not so bad, because they’re just fictional characters. Even tough it’s still wrong, there’s not much you can do about it. They’re non-existent. Now, once you get onto real life underage people it’s a different story. Do. Not. Sexualize. Minors. End of story. There is absolutely no reason for a twenty-one year old to comment how hot a fourteen year old is, celebrity or not. I don’t care if Finn Wolfhard is your celebrity crush, if you’re 18+ don’t say shit about how you wonder what he’s like in bed. It’s fucking disgusting. He may be turning 18 soon, but people have been sexualizing him for years. Not just Finn, or the cast of stranger things, but every other minor. Don’t do it. There were recently comments about an underage female K-Pop idol in a chatroom saying how they would like to do things to her. Not only illegal, but some of what they were saying is non consensual. Imagine how violating it would be, to have people old enough to be your parents, or better yet grandparents talking about you in a sexual manner. And that they don’t care if you don’t like it. Unacceptable. Just don’t do it.Â
