sorry i have a hard time having sympathy for idols when they encourage the shipping. dream themselves ship each other like they loved to push the jensung thing even though it clearly made jisung and especially jeno uncomfortable but they didn’t care because clearly shipping is just a joke to them. they’re not out here grabbing each other’s asses and staring at eo to get fans riled up and kissing eo’s cheeks or saying “romantic” stuff and couple posting eo on insta or to each other because they don’t know about shipping. as someone who’s seen gay people in kr online talk about how much they dislike idol member fanservice because it’s obviously done on purpose and done as a joke i don’t see how idols are victimless in the insane shipping culture we have now. they encourage it and they absolutely are even taught and encouraged by the company to do it as well

but don’t idols literally know and encourage shipping? i agree fans shouldn’t be weirdoes but is chenle actually uncomfortable? i doubt he’d be all over js’ vlive like he was today or literally guessed the fan was a chenji shipper. shipping is clearly a joke to him and he seems to have fun with it and has fun poking the fans about it. again agree fans shouldn’t over step boundaries but it’s hard for me to see how idols aren’t complicit in shipping when clearly they are. again chenle was literally online today having fun and teasing the chenjists. it’s clearly just a joke to him and if anti rps fans are gonna come for shippers they need to start holding idols who do fanservice accountable too
