since there have been people trying to spread misinformation about me by calling me homophobic, here& #39;s a thread of my stance on the issue + conversations with @/ultbhy to clear things up

for context: this is what& #39;s happening in south korea right now. because of the itaewon case, people are being persecuted simply for being members of the lgbtq community, and witch hunts are being held against gay people. https://twitter.com/koryodynasty/status/1258220287272734720">https://twitter.com/koryodyna...
these are the tweets i made about the "vr/vr gay" search term: general comments about the overall situation and people& #39;s actions. clearly not a personal attack.
the issue, as i explained here, is that there are people who will see the search term and jump to conclusions.
important point to remember: your context is not my context. your context is not their context. context matters.
it& #39;s not about not wanting vr/vr to be gay. it& #39;s about protecting them from people who can and will jump at anything to hurt them.
we decided to leave it at that, because neither of us were budging. so we agreed to be civil, and ultbhy agreed to tone it down.
however, ultbhy did not. not only did they do nothing about the vitriol that their friends were spewing at my friends, they also did not change their display name. on top of that, they continued to make edgy, defensive tweets, acting wholly unrepentant.
here are examples of what my friends had to go through. they have not received a single apology since.
my friends were civil, levelheaded and objective in their tweets. replying in such an immature, condescending manner says more about you then it does about them.

on top of all that, ultbhy tried to rant about my friend to me. my friend, who was merely trying to educate them, and who just so happens to have a bit of sass.
1) that& #39;s definitely not the same thing as "calling him too young to experience homophobia"
2) they really tried to call seojyans dense... for not understanding a "joke"... a "joke" that& #39;s OFFENSIVE...

1) if they want to block you, they have the right to.
2) they didn& #39;t "come for" you and your friends, in fact the reverse is true.
3) it& #39;s in the name. mlm FICTION. please learn to separate the boundary between fiction and reality.

1) they don& #39;t owe you anything. i explained on their behalf because i don& #39;t want them to be unjustifiably vilified.
2) both seojyans and doiewoo did not engage afterwards bc they didn& #39;t want to be involved in drama. it was ultbhy& #39;s side that kept trying to get a rise out of them

it was made into a "shit storm", as ultbhy puts it, bc their friends were making a big deal out of it. my friends and i said our piece and that was it.
anyway, we defused the conversation there, and proceeded to make small talk about vr/vr. but the situation continued to weigh on me, especially the matter of how ultbhy and their clique treated my friends with zero respect.
and so, i made the decision to block ultbhy. i didn& #39;t want to drag out this drama, and this isn& #39;t the first time i& #39;ve been made uncomfortable by ultbhy& #39;s tweets. but i thought ultbhy deserved a proper explanation and closure, so i sent this long dm, and then blocked them.
i also made the decision to block the people who have been caustic and mean to my friends, as well as people that i& #39;ve seen hype up ultbhy and their "agenda", as they put it. i did this simply because i hoped we could participate in fandom separately and peacefully.
but that was asking for too much! this morning, i woke up to people in my mentions trying to spam me with "vr/vr gay". on my su/bin vlive tweet. really? this is how immature y& #39;all want to be?
i made the decision to block because i did not want the drama to escalate further. but given the way they& #39;re currently acting â and trying to vilify me and my friends â i have to speak up. and so, i& #39;ve made this thread.
