so,
1 i think most idols have some kind of ED

2 i wouldnt be surprised to find out bsk does

3 my concern with this isn't because it's trivializing EDs specifically, it's because it was a cruel thing to say and if it was a joke I don't think it's funny. Yes, I have themes of this in my fics and I keep it in mind in most of my bsk (and scoups) fics, even if it doesn't come up directly. However, if I had a character say what that tweet said in response to that styling suggestion, the character who said it would obviously be a very mean, villainous person, because it's a mean thing to say and I would write Seungkwan having to process and react to that mean comment. It would not be a funny joke.

4 idk if this is actually someone who knows this as a fact like, idk this person, IDK if they told you that's why they decided to tweet what they did, because it helps them cope with their ED, so idk, but I will say they make comments of this type regarding cosmetic surgery, outfits, hair, etc, (this is how I first found them and blocked them) so I don't think their own ED is the motivating factor behind it. but, if it is -

5 i am insecure about certain things as well, but I don't believe that gives me the right to make belittling comments about others who I also suspect are insecure about those things, to make myself feel better.

I think that is not a good coping mechanism.

I think anyone who has that coping mechanism should develop a better one.

But I don't particularly want to analyze the reasons why, people are like this all the time on socials. I understand that. the only thing I want to happen is for anyone who likes that sort of commentary to remove themselves from my tl. It makes me feel very bad to imagine the type of people who laugh at that to read my fics. I am very vulnerable in them and that is a pretty awful feeling. I had assumed that being a fan of seungkwan self-selected that sort of audience out, but i was wrong.
