I'm actually really curious why kdongrenist really gatekeepers dongren moments. have they ever seen a live dongren moment that proves that dongren is real and want to keep it

Hey hey so sorry for the late reply. I'm actually not so sure why exactly they like to gatekeep. They never really explicitly outlined why, but the way that I see it, esp from the likes of guma; they prefer renjun & haechan to be known as the artists they are instead of their ship. So out of respect for them, they prefer their names to be associated with their work & talent instead of their ship. I really respect them for that actually. I'm also not a huge fan of "demanding" for ship moments; it makes any pairing relationship feels forced to me. Also, since they are real ppl, I prefer any discussion or art-work relating to them to be shared within the fandom only - & not to reach them at all.

However, I do think that for certain moments that they've witnessed, or fans have shared via fanaccs, that some DRists may feel like it's too private to share. My guess is, & this is what I've been observing on lots of k-k-DRists spaces, they starting to see that 🐻🦊 may be real. I'm noticing that they've been using spin (app equivalent to rs) a lot, or twt spaces, to discuss abt it.. so as not to leave digital footprints (per se). So if u're asking are there specific moments k-DRists know that may indicate 🐻🦊 to be real; not really. It depends on the individual u're asking though... not all K-DRists are truthers.
