I hope this doesn’t come across as anti behavior and if it does I hope you let me know. But, these days i get a feeling of dread every time i see taekook stuff.
I love jk and i like V. We all have members we connect more than others, i can admit ive never connected with v the same way i do with say jimin, jin, or jk. I consider myself ot7 cuz i enjoy all of their music, including solo works of all the members and most of the other content they put out.
That’s to say I have no issue with jk qnd v themselves, but whenever i see taekook content i get dread. I saw the the jimin fallon interview live and when the teasing/kissing thing happened i legit felt a little bit sick in my stomach and it has everything to do with taekookers
You know all the reasons i feel like i don’t have to list them out for you, but mainly how the whole fandom just seemed to forget that for like 5 months straight jimin had at least 3-4 real life threats all by taekookers and that was last year. They go after his family, they go after his friends and they go to real life bts memorabilia locations and leave abuse against jimin.
I think the fact that you immediately question whether what you’re thinking or feeling is something negative or antagonistic says a lot about you and how you think. Most people don’t even pause to reflect on that. They just react. The fact that you do already shows a level of awareness that matters in these spaces.
What you’re describing isn’t strange to me, and I’d say it’s not strange for people who follow this blog either. It’s something we’ve talked about before, and we always try to handle it carefully.
I understand that your issue isn’t Jungkook and Tae interacting. The issue is that you already know what that interaction will lead to. Not joy for people who like that pairing, or even for fans in general who love BTS, but mainly attacks on Jimin. And mockery towards jikookers because the vecinas are basically the kpoppers of this fandom. They need to constantly bring Jimin into the conversation and tear him down just to create a reaction or to feel validated.
Kpoppers tend to compare everything to BTS and position their faves as better in some way, and the vecinas mirror that behaviour almost exactly. It's a competition, nothing else. So, whether they interact or not doesn’t really change a thing. The vecinas should be happy, shouldn’t they? They should just ignore Jimin. But they don’t. They keep bringing him up because, just like kpoppers, they don’t actually love their favourite, they just dislike Jimin, the same way kpoppers dislike BTS.
This is where separating the situations becomes important. There is what actually happens, which is simply two people interacting and enjoying themselves. Then there is the narrative that other people build around it. Those are not the same thing, even if they get mixed together online. Learning to recognise that difference helps you not attach your emotional response to something that is being distorted by others.
Keeping your online spaces clean is not just about blocking people randomly. It is a deliberate way of protecting your experience. The content you see repeatedly shapes how you feel even if you think you are ignoring it. If you constantly expose yourself to negativity it starts to feel bigger than it actually is. So curating your timeline matters. Muting keywords helps. Avoiding certain comment sections helps. Choosing who you follow helps even more because that determines what shows up in the first place.
Reporting and blocking are not about being overly sensitive or unable to handle disagreement. It is about recognising when something is not adding anything of value. If someone is only there to provoke or insult, then there is no benefit in giving them access to your space or your attention. Blocking removes that access. Reporting contributes in a small way to limiting how far that behaviour spreads.
