I want to explain what& #39;s been going through my mind regarding the treatment of two members. Together and as individuals. I& #39;ve held my tongue because I think speaking on the issues surrounding them is just going cause more trouble than it& #39;s worth BUT certain things have been -
aggravating me more and more recently. This management isn& #39;t coincidental. I& #39;m sure maybe those in tighter circles understand what is going on and don& #39;t speak of it publicly because they too recognize the sensitive nature of the issues at hand. Me bringing everything I possibly -
could to the public eye to do with the poor handling may very well put the boys under more scrutiny themselves, ultimately causing more harm than good so I& #39;ll be vague. Let me get this clear - those trying to expose them by sharing private details, exploiting moments of -
possible separation and manipulation need to take a step back. Consider what you& #39;re posting for. To start a discussion about the betterment for them, or as a way to expose them? I know certain predicaments are worth being angry over, but I always tried to approach these moments -
myself with awareness that I do not know the full story. What could have happened may have very well been nothing to do with the bigger picture involving these two. It& #39;s so easy to tinhat and connect dots that aren& #39;t there, but even when it IS there you& #39;re at risk of stepping -
your foot into somewhere it doesn& #39;t belong. What bothers me as well is people unaware of how these two are presented on purpose which spurs a ridiculous amount of attacks from opposing akgaes, shippers and even the rest of army at any chance a crack appears to berate them -
as their own person and their relationship at hand. I understand certain precautions have to be taken with them to protect them but at this point it& #39;s more of an attack on them as a unit rather than necessary safety measures to hide //something//. There are several incidences -
that show members of staff intervening with them to the point of redundancy. Obvious negligence in promotion of them as a unit; raising more suspicion than dissipating it. Cuts in content that cause the same problem. It& #39;s clear showing them near each other is a struggle in -
itself. All these matters sound delusional to the common fan so the company can keep this up, but what isn& #39;t delusional is to support the hate and revile on them due to the possible idea of said speculations being true. I despise loud and pedantic shippers as much as the next -
guy but this ugliness is seeping onto how people view these two as a whole, not just the crowd they& #39;ve gathered. I made a thread months ago about the privacy surrounding the two. My remonstrance against those on either side of contempt or fascination involving the two was that -
no matter what they deserve respect and their choice to keep to themselves is their choice alone. I regret some wording and topics brought up looking back but I was happy that it opened possibly some eyes to the situation. Still, there& #39;s clearly more to it than their choices -
alone. Please, take a second and consider the content your viewing. What you see is what a company wants you to see. What you want, is what the company wants to give you as long as you keep throwing them your money. The more you bite into a certain topic or subject at hand then -
the more the company will feed you it to keep you fat and happy. This said company had no problem exploiting the idea of them as a unit for several years, whether that be for branding, advertisements or photoshoots. They weren& #39;t the main focus, but those outside of the -
company for business certainly favoured them. What& #39;s uncomfortable was this chill attitude to their relationship being at the front at times to suddenly have it cut off and swept under the rug. It& #39;s like there is an indubitable set of rules in place. What can be filmed, what -
can be posted and how they are to behave in certain situations. If you don& #39;t believe me or don& #39;t wish to delve more into why this is that& #39;s fine. This sort of deep diving into interpersonal relationships between two men, a company and fans isn& #39;t something that should be on many -
people& #39;s list of concerns. In a way I wish it wasn& #39;t on mine, but when these worrisome dilemmas are repeatedly staring you straight in the face It& #39;s hard not to be stressed over them to a certain extent. Don& #39;t speak, even when people are throwing slander towards them every week -
or so. It& #39;s a joke to so many people, these stipulations on how they& #39;ve been mismanaged or just straight out denial on their part because it& #39;s too much of a problematic subject matter to digest without feeling like your crossing a boundary level. Or refutal because it -
interferes with personal biases or beliefs. They are treated differently, they are the most scrutinized for it in the wrong way and they certainly don& #39;t deserve the backlash. What& #39;s been brought to my attention as of recent is said company having no problem exploiting their -
vulnerability for financial gain while also cutting off a comfort at the same time. We don& #39;t see everything, but what has been seen is moments when they& #39;ve reached out to each other being cut off in the end. That& #39;s not as bad when you& #39;re protecting an image of two boys in their -
most private of moments. In my mind I think of it as an almost good thing until the hate on either of them starts piling up when the content comes out. What doesn& #39;t make any sense though is exploiting that sadness or pain primarily when those two are involved. Has any other -
member& #39;s pain, exhaustion or tears been as frontal as the boys in question? I don& #39;t know what b/h intends by this, but it& #39;s infuriating to see this targeted focus on those boys alone and the fandom just eats it up. For those claiming that the group want to show themselves like -
that, even if they did -
- why is the prime focus those two?
- the group in no shape or form watch all the content that comes out or are even aware of it at times
- if you think each member gets an individual say on what gets put out that& #39;s hopeful thinking at best

I& #39;m going to show one video, just one. The context in which one of them showed support to the other during a possibly sensitive first outing only for a member of staff to step in. If you know you know, but this is what I mean when certain comforts are -
being limited for the apparent care of safety. The full story isn& #39;t there, but I& #39;m afraid I& #39;m not gonna go into explicit details. This isn& #39;t the first time, this possibly won& #39;t be the last. What matters to the company most whether you like it or not is their own reputation, -
keeping fans loyal and money. The group is just a tool to be used for that, and they will happily squeeze them until they are all dried up. I feel like these certain members possibly threw a wrench in the bigger plan due to what has to be kept to themselves, and I worry if they -
are possibly made to feel bad about it. The members all in general need to be given a line of separation between their personal lives and what can be shown to fans, that& #39;s a given. However, b/h doesn& #39;t want you to acknowledge that line& #39;s existence. Because feeling close to -
members like you& #39;re seeing EVERYTHING is extremely marketable. So they& #39;ll sell you these painful moments, they& #39;ll exploit their members for fanservice and they& #39;ll make you feel special because you get to see IT ALL, right? And that& #39;s why so many fans think, that they& #39;re seeing -
all the struggles, all the issues and the true real nature of relationships. That& #39;s the true delusion here. That you as a fan have been given complete access to the private trials and tribulations of their lives. And not only that, that you as a supporter DESERVE to see it. -
Let it be known this isn& #39;t an excuse to those attempting to dig out more and more on those two boys& #39; personal lives every single day to find proof of the ”truth”. It& #39;s clear the truth is to benefit your ego rather than taking concern with the boys. Those claiming they know -
everything while chewing them out because they watch content served to them are on the other side of the negative extreme. God, this rant is long and I& #39;m afraid my points may not come across well. I& #39;m just forever afraid for their well-being in general. In retrospect the way -
so called fans treat them and their relationship while having another understanding hurts to see. So I& #39;m just word vomiting it hoping maybe there will be a sense of reflection taking place. Debating this subject is hard without sparing details, so I& #39;m gonna just keep quiet -
and not engage to those questioning afterwards. My goal is not to expose, I just want people to understand this isn& #39;t as straight forward as you think. I think about making threads showing x and y but it& #39;s not my place. Please just keep this on the down low, because this -
