yoooooooooooooooooo CRAZY message to receive, i rly thought i had a bunch of hate in my inbox but this is so much better, thank you! tbh i wish people who are so against the concept of the fic would give it a try, i really am just trying to write through the same things they're thinking about. i do think if ktaki really fucked, it would be bad! the difference is just that i want to explore that badness and unwrap it and try to understand it instead of flinching away from it.

i think we are all doing something amoral when we engage in rpf, when we rps, when we enjoy kpop in general, when we enjoy this group specifically. tying your morality to the media you enjoy is a really hard way to develop a sense of self. after all, there's no stakes on here. no one is going to live or die based off of anything we do on kpop twitter. it's better to develop your real life morals outside of kpop twitter and then come back to this space knowing yourself to be the person you think you are. it makes it easier to engage with things slightly outside your boundaries and understand them.

i also wanna say it's not your fault, we're all dealing with the cop in our heads, we all want to prove we're good people in a world where it's so easy to be accused of not being a good person for totally arbitrary reasons. like, i am too. so i'm glad you decided to read my fic and had your mind changed. that's what i was trying to do when i started writing it.
