genuinely curious…? Why is everyone panicking over Chan’s latest msgs…? I’m someone who isn’t often in here i only joined the fandom recently and ur acc being the few accs of me accessing Chan’s updates. I don’t understand why him being vulnerable and sharing his thoughts is leading to the whole fandom censoring his words? Like who cares what others gonna say about him he’s allowed to feel down just like the rest of us why this fandom make a big deal of everything he says I wonder if it’s like this cuz he type out his msgs in English too cuz i haven’t seen the same thing happening with the other members even when they msg about their visual/weight/concerns. Why his words always get censored?

hi! first of all welcome, i hope despite everything you're finding it fun to be here!
so this is unfortunately a question i don't have a straight answer to. a lot of it stems from the need to quote unquote protect him from hate. the problem with that is people who hate on him don't really need much to get them going, he can breathe and they'll find stuff to use against him so in my humble opinion when his own fandom immediately reacts to the slightest hint of vulnerability shown by rolling down the shutters it just brings way more attention to it than it would if everyone just. reacted normally as with every other message. it definitely plays a part that he translates his own messages, since a lot of the hate stems from international kpop fans it's easier to verbatim use his own words against him. up to a point i get the sense of protectiveness and the caution shown, but i did create this account for people who can't afford the subscription to see his texts and its the biggest reason why i post everything. today alone ive had so many people come to me to tell me i "don't give a fuck" about him and "couldn't care less" if he gets hate because i posted what he sent, it's a hoot! sorry i went on a ramble and didn't even end up really answering your questions, i hope you can find some of this useful regardless.
