i wanna give my point of view idk if people will understand what i mean but i honestly dont believe people mean for us to begin disrespecting other pairings when they say for us to start “being louder about soogyu”. im almost certain everyone means to just be annoying about their interactions and TALK about them without holding ourselves back, if people take that as being disrespectful or as soogyuists trying to make other pairings look like less or something i think that might just be a them problem 😭 there is nothing wrong with talking about our fav ship the way we do. what IS wrong is when people like the example you gave DO disrespect and minimize other pairings and begin to make it a competition which will ALWAYS end up in ship wars. one thing is pointing out the fact that soogyu are extremely close and another is saying they “clear other pairings” and shit like that 😭 thats just being a shitty person and it makes me personally doubt the true ot5-ness of whoever it is saying things like that. people really do have to loosen up rps is meant to be inclusive for eeeeverybody and you should not be insulting anybody because of their preferences like that is Extremely childish and honestly weird. you can have opinions on the communities of different ships, sure, but its different to have those opinions on them just because you dont like the ship or even worse the pairing themselves Is what you dont like. that is extremely weird and im gonna be so honest you are not ot5 if you do that LOL. but yeah i do agree!
