i am SURE a couple years from now, kpoppies who hated on and ignored them for all 2.5 years will be “discovering” their bsides and how good they are and being nostalgic about their time as a group

kiof are all super talented but when people treat kiof like theyre all much older than the average 4th-5th gen group its like…no?? haneul is literally an 05 liner. shes only 18, belle is only 19…
first of all, wrong group, second of all, this is just…like wow…this is how people see ooo despite them actually trying to do something positive for the industry and creating a space for queer people specifically…
if you wanna see a kpop group portray QUEER LOVE via three different storylines & six excellent solo songs and music videos, this thread has all of them in order 🧵

8D was broke, kb was just back from serving (the military) and ready to serve (for idol debut). junji’s face was half bangs. producer trio was working overtime to create a top 10 kpop debut. [insert literally any member here] was gay. they had ONE SHOT.
people saying that the original mv is fine are being ridiculous, i shouldn’t have to have a headache to watch a music video or see a story, are you ridiculous
not to be that person but the article does mention that the people behind the animations have been getting their personal info leaked so like…calling them a bunch of pixels is misconstruing the reality a BIT
i used to be super paranoid about this thing but honestly it’s not wrong to assume people are kind & chill as long as you keep reality checking yourself and don’t get to the point where you feel like you’d defend your favs no matter what
ignoring the obvious, its so annoying how people portray fangirls who like boy groups like theyre always brainless & delusional … like the undertones of this are just odd
When their new boygroup forced to be onlyoneof 2.0 and gain money from fangirl's delulu and we get a more polished comeback for loossemble... I kinda see a vision wait
if you actually understood the reason why artists dislike AI you wouldn’t say this. i can dislike the way they’re choosing to critique this, and that’s nothing against seventeen as people, that’s just being conscious as consumers.
@thelilacwoo
still lonely would be my pick without hesitation…why wont they perform that damn song again its literally one of the best songs of all time
@Tinas_Choice1
“broke” but has a 1.7 million dollar house… jobless but she is in a group and has successful music… meanwhile ur fat behind a screen talking sht on women cuz ur dad left u
i am glad the girls like working with him, that is their judgement call, but when he says and does shit like this you cant expect us as third party observers to nooot raise eyebrows idgaf

what if 1k bookmarks id be overjoyed geniunely like…i hope they get at least one new fan from this :’) they took over my spotify wrapped last year when i first got into their music and i hope others get to experience that type of shit

ive seen this wave of fandom elitism like “oh! our fandom would never” as if carats are some sort of exception within kpop, and that just takes the blame away from the capitalistic industry that many people are supporters of…kpop fans vs turning everything into a fanwar
and like im a kissy and idk onf i wanted them to get their win but the way yall treat ooo … theyre already under-appreciated now this?&;& and calling my lesbo ass a fujo…i had to fight
of course this is a joke its part a jab at ppl who hate on itzy for no reason but it rly is unserious and just a gatekeeping joke, pls tune into itzy :)
if youre stumbling on this and are confused: onlyoneof are a kpop group that debuted in 2019 and have a crazy discography, literally one of the best in the industry
nauseating that people are treating this shit like fun tea this is literally a horrific case & people are lying and making jokes for clout…inhumane as hell
some notes:
-the members each wrote notes about this project in the youtube descriptions for all the mvs and its very sweet
-the group themselves also went on tour last year and held up a zillion pride flags along the way, they appreciate their community & interact w them :’)

they also have a whole mv series and multiple songs about queer love! dont be homophobic to them & pls support them bc theyre doing something rly important in the industry
onlyoneof vs constantly being brought up for no damn reason but no one actually tuning into them even tho they deserve it because their music is like one of the best in kpop
geniunely so upset that yall dont treat him like hes a human. commenting on his body, referring to that weird as fuck account…yall only know how to fetishize & laugh at this man and it’s incredibly unfair to him. leave him alone and treat him with respect.
ive been seeing people talk about the concert a lot and im begging yall to change your minds. if they don’t sell, it’s not like txt isn’t ever going on tour again—and that really doesnt matter when your money is going to fund genocide. have a heart PLEASE….
…we have a mutual sense of boundaries with ooo, they are artists making music that resonates w queer audiences & we are an audience that dont conflate that w being friends w them or entitled to info about their personal lives, whats so hard to understand
but i thought they cared about accurate representation? none of these people look like tangled’s rapunzel, the only common denominator is that they’re whi—OHHHHH

“who cares” are u serious…do u know how incredibly invasive that is…just imagine if that was you, id hate to be viewed as a 2D character for people to write headcanons and fantasize about constantly????

realistically stanning ooo is just not possible for everyone. like they dont have good management, theyre very atypical as a kpop group. but like…if they get some fame at least when they leave 8D for good, if they wanna continue making music they have a fanbase. thats my hope

not every predebut vid, not every misinformation joke, not every little fandom thing needs to be loud & so public that it reaches the members
