hello let's talk about carats and how they talk about dino.

you might not notice because he's not your bias and it's UNDERSTANDABLE but it is a common phenomenon.

there was a tweet going around about things carats should stop saying/doing, so please consider this:

most commonly-seen stuff:

1) dino nugu aegi (which jeonghan explicitly said dino dislikes)

2) pair up 12 members of svt and deliberately ignore chan's existence

3) dino is (insert ship here)'s actual son

1) dino nugu aegi

it's not uncommon knowledge that chan doesn't like it? why is it still a thing when jisoos christ/jeonghan mom/etc. stopped a long time ago????

it's kind of ridiculous when you go through danceology comments and all carats do is relate chan's entire existence to this one joke made a thousand years ago

2) the ot12+dino syndrome

some carats say it doesn't happen that regularly and ok, fair, if they're not dinonaras they probably won't notice, but it does. it happens a Lot. we see it all the damn time.

idk maybe @xhangguk's thread of ao3 tags are a better visual aid at this point

i have nothing left to say on this except 'IMPLIED lee chan existence' https://twitter.com/xhangguk/status/1243467487582261249?s=20

3) chan is (insert ship here)'s son

what the fuck guys he's in his twenties are you okay

at this point i don't even know what to say lmao

i don't understand why chan is fair game when the other members are not and i don't know what chan has to do for carats to see him as a capable adult who's been consistently putting out content during his free time.

END THREAD

dinonaras have a reputation for being over defensive because it does feel like we're alone in this sometimes. idk if this thread will help carats see from our pov bc whenever we bring these things up we're slapped down with "it's very fair i love ot13"

i also think it's sad that when a dino anti surfaced last week the first thing some carats did was ask if a dinonara did it? there really aren't that many of us in the first place? trust me all dinonaras do is be sad and frustrated in each others' dms bc carats aren't Listening
