#girlyourlipstick is big mad that people lack empathy

[orangewoo]

A bit of a rant incoming but it is what it is. If you're around in NCity, you'll know exactly what prompted this rant, however I won't mention it here so the situation doesn't "escalate". If you really want to know, look around on Twitter and it's everywhere. Sure, you may think I'm turning some jokes into something way too serious but I don't care. This has been pissing me off the whole day and I just have to speak on it.

Some of you people don't deserve to "stan" anyone. You don't see these idols as people, and it is genuinely heartbreaking. You have no right to speculate about a stranger's sexuality, even if it's based on things they've said themselves or so-called "hints" you've inferred. Speculating that someone is "actually gay" is incredibly harmful given not only the industry these people work in but also the country they live in. No, I obviously do not assume that everyone is straight, but I also don't take it upon myself to investigate and scrutinise every word someone says in order to "out them" to a homophobic industry and country. It's one thing to gossip around with friends sure, I can't dictate what you do behind closed doors, but have some decency in public at least if you claim to care about your idol.

Think about how distressing it would be if an actually closeted gay idol had a slip up? Throwing empathy out of the window and for what? For your entertainment and your viral tweets making memes out of someone's life? Must I remind you guys about how Holland has been treated as a gay idol? I'm so disappointed, and even more so when this sort of stuff comes from my fellow LGBTQ+ community members. If anything you guys should relate to that fear the most. But I guess some people are out of touch or rather ignorant (happy for them) to the realities of living in such a conservative country. Don't really know how to end this rant other than saying: do better, people.
