"I didn’t jump into anyone’s shipping comment"
You did, you inserted yourself into another person's comment thread to pose an insensitive question about "what's wrong with being homophobic" and demanded they refrain from "bringing" their "bullshit" ships here

By "genuine fans," do you mean those of you who comment with the purpose of attacking our characters, ridiculing our ships, and playing the victim when we defend ourselves?
@Gomen left a comment questioning the validity of finding fault with homophobia. Did you see that? They asked, "what's wrong with being homophobic?" Comment: https://imgur.com/bAprQSO
These people aren't taking offense to the term. They're aware of their comments' inflammatory nature. What's your motivation for standing up for them? What do you get out of it?
"NOT everyone who disagrees with BL interpretations is being hateful"
Thank goodness the drama didn’t waste too much time on the joke of a "relationship" between Ba Reum and Bong I. Girl deserved someone mentally stable who doesn't see her as a pawn in their chess game
Ba Reum had more chemistry with his bed than he ever did with Bong I. Even Mu Chi brought more heat to their interactions

"I never said you can’t discuss it"
Your earlier comment contradicts that. "I don’t want that to happen to this drama too" suggests you'd prefer certain topics, such as shipping, not be discussed
"... told me to stop talking about it"
I didn't, I told you to please stop making disparaging comments about shippers and assuming they are "isolated, lonely weirdos"

Aren't you forcing your anti-shipping preferences on others? You're contributing to the same toxic, unwelcoming environment you mentioned for fans who enjoy the drama in their unique way
It's not up to you, me, or anyone else to control what people discuss in the comment section. They can discuss the plot, their favorite ships, etc
Kinda glad they took out the romance angle by removing that girlie from season one completely. I’m a sucker…
It's those with the most personal issues or baggage who get the most upset about other people's gay ships. Have you tried channeling your energy inward, rather than lashing out at us?
You enjoy the male characters’ friendships as they are, I understand that and I'm not asking you to ship them. I'm simply requesting that you be open to understanding other people's interpretations of their relationships, even if they differ from your own
Our use of the term "homophobia" isn't intended to target all fans of friendships. We're addressing those who engage in harassment and denigration of our appreciation for same-sex romances
Our gay ships don’t invalidate your preference for friendships, and your preference for friendships don't invalidate our gay ships
they always do, but are the first to scream men and women can have a platonic friendship but apparently 2 persons…
Society assumes that men and women can't be "just friends," or that two men or two women can't be more than "just friends." We’re balancing things out with our gay ships
'Love' doesn't have to be romantic. Si-eun is in love with Su-ho, that much is obvious. Shippers just take anything…
No worries!
Some fans prefer to stick with what's established in the source material. I won't hold it against you if you don't share my non-canonical shipping preferences

Not all shippers are "insufferable." Most of us understand that our enthusiasm for certain character relationships might not be shared by everyone
You see friendship, and I see a spark of something more. A spark that could ignite a flame of romantic love and passion. Isn't it fascinating how two people can look at the same thing and see it differently?
Only if you stop underplaying the director's (and the actors') words for once.
The director deserves praise for acknowledging the romantic connection between the male characters. And though I'd love to see this evolve into a full-fledged BL/gay story, I understand the potential homophobic backlash would hinder such progress. The negative comments directed at our community prove it
I'm satisfied with the strong chemistry and confirmation we've been given
Do you see a BL tag anywhere?? No right, so yeah, it is not a BL. As an avid consumer of media, including queer…
Exactly, romance doesn't have to be the focus of a story for fans to see romantic potential between characters. With or without a (gay) romance tag, we might interpret certain interactions as having romantic subtext and ship characters accordingly
