"Although, a lot better now the way subfandoms used to treat Matthew especially Hanbin's, Mattbin will never be a government ship or more than a rare pair because Matthew won't share moments and rarely initiates anything."

unfortunately anon, i completely agree. we see it all the time with the way that it's always bin initiating their moments on stage. matt is ALWAYS shying away and it makes me so sad because it just goes to show that he knows that there are large subfandoms that don't like it when he interacts with bin. we just have to be grateful that bin is making a conscious effort to do so!

"I think he found his safe place with Gunwook and Taerae interactions because their subfandoms don't attack him at the same rate"

this is so true, and it's clear that he adores them and loves spending time with them too so it really is a win, win there. i just hate how the disdain for mattbin has bled into how matt carries himself around bin in front of fans.

"Mattbin even if not romantic has such a rare and sweet backstory and current story that is not appreciated. It could literally be a documentary"

I AGREE. it's what makes me want their lore live so badly. because if you really think about it, they didn't know each other for that long during cube era and yet, they became so attached to each other that bin didn't want matt to leave without one final chance together. it's just so beautiful.

"We see a small fraction of their lives and will truly never know."

BUT ALSO THIS!!! SO MUCH THIS!!! at the end of the day, we don't know these guys! we hope that, at the very least, we know they're good people, but they're definitely keeping a lot of themselves to themselves and for good reason.
