okay, i’m seriously pissed off right now.
you wanna know why? because some twitter stans are canceling yuta, calling him transphobic and misogynist. you wanna know the reason? it’s because yuta said the topics for a show he went on predebut, were preplanned.
let me try and establish some context. a couple years back, yuta went on the show abnormal summit, a korean show that hosts people from various countries as they talk about real issues in their countries as well as the countries of others. basically while on this show, yuta talked about how gender roles shouldn’t be enforced and that trans people were being treated terribly, and that they deserved more rights.
now, it was revealed in a fansign by a fan that certain parts of the show (which are the topics that the people will be discussing in the show) were “scripted”. meaning that they were chosen beforehand and given out to the people on the show so they could prepare for the discussion.
what some people think this means is that the show is scripted, and that everyone reads off of a script or whatever. this is NOT what it means. again, abnormal summit is a show that is centered around discussion. it is not like most other korean shows that are completely scripted. anyways, because of this lack of thought, some people on twitter (no surprise there) have been calling yuta transphobic and misogynist.
here’s a translation of the fansign in question.
first of all, yuta himself said that he did a lot of research on the topics before going on the show and participating in the discussion. he wanted to be educated on the things they would be discussing. i’m sure that if he hadn’t been as informed and said something wrong without knowing it, y’all would be jumping on his ass for that too.
y’all, even if the show was scripted word for word, that doesn’t mean yuta didn’t mean any of the things he said. of course we can’t assume everything about an idol, but considering how yuta literally went to the sm halloween party as a female character AND painted his own nails AND said that he really liked it AND wanted to do nail art as well AND didn’t think twice about it, even though he says he’s a manly man all the time, i highly doubt he was being insincere. he seemed so genuine on the show i don’t think anyone should question it.
and again, people calling him transphobic and misogynist makes me seriously mad. i don’t fucking care if it’s “just a joke” or whatever, i have said time and time again that nctzens joke around way too much and it crosses the line way too much and this time it’s gone too far. you can’t just accuse someone of being transphobic and misogynist in this kind of baseless situation. that’s so fucking insensitive and it can hurt yuta so much.
and this isn’t the only time y’all have hated on yuta for something completely unnecessary. i wasn’t even a fan during this time, but remember when yuta got chin fillers and so many of y’all’s fake asses clowned him and called him ugly and bashed him so much to the point where he actually said he wasn’t confident in his looks, months later after the chin fillers went away? y’all don’t appreciate yuta enough as it is, and if you do it’s because you think of him as just a part of yuwin, or you just think of him as a sexy and hot person. y’all don’t appreciate the fact that he’s so much more than that. he’s so mature and has a mindset that a lot of people could stand to learn from. he’s sensitive and he cares so much about the other members. taeyong is one of his closest friends, and he revealed that he goes to him to talk about their group, their future, and that he gets worried sometimes. he’s such a substantial member of nct and a very multidimensional person and yet y’all only see him as one half of a ship. i’m sick and tired of it.
so come back to me when yuta, or really any idol, does some real problematic shit.
