I hate your take on “calling Han jisung babygirl”. I didn’t want to be rude but it’s so fucking annoying. You can’t compliment shit nowadays. Who gives a fuck if it’s overused. You can’t overuse a description. Let people call him what he is ffs. Like, “don’t call him baby girl” the fuck do we call him?? A twinky ass man is going to be called a babygirl. WHO GIVES A FUCK.

Ooh-ooh! My first angry rs anon! I feel so honored~ 🥰

Now, my friend, Imma need you to read my tweet again with an eye better trained for nuance and tell me where I outright said “don’t call him babygirl,” then get back to me.

As for who gives a fuck? Clearly you, bud. Clearly you.

Descriptions can absolutely be overused to an inappropriate extent. Like when a man who doesn’t fit the exact mold of societal expectations for masculinity and it consistently translates in people’s heads to “girly,” perhaps? Seems to me like you’re assigning some pretty heavy-handed gender stereotypes where they don’t belong, with the whole “twinky-ass man = babygirl” bit. There’s quite a big difference between acknowledging when a man is expressing traditionally more “feminine” traits or mannerisms and making a lighthearted comment about it, and characterizing a man as a completely one-dimensional figure whose only defining trait is “babygirl,” “princess,” “woman,” etc. There have certainly been instances where jsvng was simply existing with long hair or a crop top, and people overdid the “omg my uwu princess babygirl, she’s my girlfriend.” I don’t have an issue with lighthearted babygirl jokes here and there; I have an issue with the reductive and excessively heteronormative lens through which much of this fandom has chosen to view him. You’d know that if you had reading comprehension and a concept of nuance.

Toodles~ :)
