Warning: Rant. Do not read if you are a hard core JYJ fan who will go crazy if you see anyone offering a different point of view than "JYJ = holy. SME = evil". You have been warned, so live with your decision.
Nice rant! :D Like you, I've had it up to my eyebrows with some fans and their embarrassingly limited view on reality.
I especially like the two last paragraphs. I would LOVE it if idols were allowed to say what they really feel. It would be worth so much more to me than knowing who dates who. I guess I'm old enough to know how to handle idols as real, living people instead of thinking that they are made out of cardboard... Everyone in DBSK are grown up. They are adult men, not innocent little boys. I'm certain they know how to watch their own asses.
Well, thank you ^^ I don't know I would be a fan of idols if they were allowed to say what they truly felt... I can't enjoy watching Taemin dance when I know he is in pain, and I wouldn't enjoy hearing idols talk smack about the other members of the group either ^^;
But yes, age gives you perspectives youthful (blind) obsession won't ;D
I was kind of thinking that idols would be free to say what they want to say, not that they were obliged to say everything on their minds... So Taemin could still hide his pain if he wanted to, and if the idols were nice people they wouldn't talk smack about others in public.
I was thinking that idols could show more of their true selves, like telling fans when their obnoxious behavior gets too obnoxious. Sungmin and Heechul does this sometimes. And Henry wrote about his feelings for Only13... I didn't mean that they would share every little detail about their personal feelings :D
Imagine if Junsu really said "I wish people would focus on something else than my butt. I have lovely eyes, for example". I would laugh my ass off, seriously XD
