I have a feeling I know what this is in response to. While I have no problem with admitting that you're 100% right, there's more bttm!Jsng then there is bttm!mnho content, it's a bit different with Twitter's timeline algorithm, and it doesn't matter if there's more or less, especially if it's trending for whatever reason. And it's not wrong for someone to have a preference in those regards. The person wasn't hating either. They were just stating their opinion. Something that you can just scroll past and ignore. Or even block them. So you don't see their content? No hate, or anything, it just seems... Like some people got overly triggered by that post?? Overreacted??? Idk, making a problem out of nothing. Making t0p/bttm discourse when there wasn't any?

Anyways, love to all the st4ys, no matter their personal preference <333

Hi anon, I’m less referring to the initial post and more referring to the influx of people that came with it that started complaining and saying their preference was inherently better because it was “more correct.” I don’t have issue with people’s preferences because when it comes to strictly top/bottom, I don’t have one! I really do not care and will write them or read them both ways all the time which is why I ended that tweet with a lighthearted cheer for vers mnsng lol. I just got irritated by the amount of people complaining about seeing content instead of, as you said, scrolling past it or blocking people, and even more so by people talking like their opinion was the gospel. I hope this makes sense. I’m just really sick of the top/bottom discourse in general and how it bleeds into how people treat the members irl.

So I don’t think anyone overreacted, and I especially don’t think I did by posting my singular tweet that took me 20 seconds to write. I just think it’s strange that people were making such a big deal over something (again, not the initial post, but the response of people freaking out that came with it. Which might not have been something you say with the algorithm, but is something I definitely saw) and acting like they were being victimized for not seeing as much top minho or for liking bottom jisung when it’s the largely more popular preference lol. But if the other way around ever happens then …. all hell breaks loose.

But yes at the end of the day I can summarize my opinion with: whoooooo caressss. And I have every much as a right to complain about people complaining as they do to complain, which I’ve had several people come at me for doing so. I was also just stating my opinion and take on the whole thing, so I don’t see why that would be seen as overreacting or wrong, but it’s fine for others do so when it’s in regards to their personal preferences.

So, yeah. Like I truly don’t care about any of this at the core of it but I DO care when people are so aggressive with their top/bottom pref that they act like anyone else is wrong or bad. I hope this makes sense? I think its hard to explain when we were obviously seeing different things.
