Not sure if a post similar to this has been made before, but I am pissed. I'm writing this because of that one atiny(?) Who asked an ateez member to put a leash on them (not exactly sure, I don't follow ateez), the whole soobin fancall situation, and simply weird parasocial interactions between idols and fans. Context: I'm not an atiny, so all I know is that a member was asked by a fan to put a leash on them. I am a moa though, so I can give full context about the soobin fancall incident. A crazy fan who ships soobin and yeonjun showed soobin a deepfake of him and yeonjun moaning, and asked sexual questions which obviously made soobin uncomfortable. It's literally sexual harassment. I know shipping is a thing in every Fandom, but it's one thing to keep it in your Fandom and to literally show it to the idol themselves. How is she not embarrassed? WHY did the staff not interfere and hang up? Staff literally hang up on fans (who are actually saying nice things to idols) 0.1 seconds after those 2 mins, but let that fan do that??? Fortunately, that fan has been from attending anymore fancalls, and moas have mass reported to hybe. I know that weird fancalls and parasocialism has been in kpop for a while (for example, those Vernon and felix fancalls), and I know they're weird and cringe, sometimes creepy, but that fan crossed the line. I don't care. Fancalls should be stopped, but unfortunately, companies only want money, and fans mass buy albums to win fancalls, so im not sure if companies will ever really stop them. Idols are humans too. They have feelings. Would you like it if someone asked you to put a leash on them, or show you a goddamn deepfake of you and your member moaning???? These fans are mentally ill and need to snap back into reality and realize that these idols ARENT your friend or a machine made to feed into your creepy delusions. Some people need to get a reality check and have shame. Excuse my spelling please! Opinions and extra input are appreciated! submitted by /u/Inevitable_Owl_4936 [link] [comments]
