on the topic of rps.. i feel like a lot of fans are new to this sort of thing so they don’t rlly know the etiquette(?) of it..? there’s a reason why korean and other fans heavily censor these names and like mash together them for their ships, it’s so that the members and other fans won’t find that sort of content when they search their names up regularly. but sometimes there’s so many tweets which blow up using their entire names and sometimes with really sexual themes as well and while i expect that idols definitely know about shipping culture and rps, it’s a bit odd to see things like that spoken about them so publicly . of course rps and shipping and fanfics are an integral part of any fandom, but we should also be mindful of the etiquette of it as well
true true. considering how young a lot of onedoor are, that might explain some of the issues. many just hop on the bandwagon without really knowing the dos and don’ts. the truth is, rps has its own etiquette. not just towards idols but also between fans (rps and non-rps). respecting the line between fiction and reality and keeping it where it belongs is a big part of that. when those boundaries get ignored or crossed, that’s usually when things blow up and spill outside of the community 😔
i hope we can keep those boundaries in mind, it helps the community stay a safe and fun space for everyone.
