Hey So this is a little serious post revolving around Thai idols.
okay, to begin with I just wanna say. I am horrible with formatting and grammar so forgive me I wanna make this as simple as possible.
so as you may know in Thailand we pick a nickname which we are referred by for the rest of our lives. even in school and work we are addressing by that nickname . the only time our legal govermnet name is used is military or legal reasons . it is deemed pretty disrespectful to address someone as their government if you are not the government for offical issues and purpose. so using a thai idols legal government name within the fanfic is disrespectful to the said idol and thai culture . personally I have been seeing it happen a lot more recently due to the new way of how most writers are no longer using the idols stage name in fics, however I see it more happening to ten. than lisa or bambam. I know lisa sometimes does refer to herself as lalisa, and that is her choice being fully comfortable with both her nickname and her government . some thai people are. however there are some who are not and still highly would prefer their nickname when being addressed . however I feel I ran away from the point.
simply just asking please do not use thai idols legal names in your fanfics.
