Guess The Common Factor In These Pictures

Guess the common factor in these pictures…😂

Shy jimin is coming for you and your poor heart, just like bold JK has for Jimin lol.

(Credits ) 

I love him so much 🥺

Hello kanmom

I'm going through a big dilemma right now. I'm from a conservative country and this whole being gay or gay relationships are new for me. But the thing I see between jikook is love which is so pure and something not everyone is lucky to have. So I'm very much supporting them not minding whether it's right or wrong.

But as I said, I'm coming from a place where everyone surrounding me thinks it's something against nature, should not happen or is worst than crime. They don't know about Jikook but when being gay is brought up all thinks it's a joke and something not worthy enough and they are not the level of the superior straights. My very educated friends, my parents and almost everyone thinks so.

When they are being homophobic I sometimes react and they feel offended saying 'why am I too concerned about some person not at all connected with me'. I'm feeling offended not because I'm attached to the person they are making fun of, but because of Jimin and Jk. I love them very much and I know people will similarly judge them and makes fun of them which makes me so sad. After hearing this from many places now I'm feeling like ' am I the wrong one here ?' Is it really as bad as people make it to be and judge them to be. Am I too blinded by Jimin and jungkook to not to see the negative side of being gay.

If there was nothing wrong in being gay then why most of population is against it ? If it was the same love in gay relationship then why people feels digusted by it ? I really don't know.

Hello anon. I feel for you. And I understand the struggle you are going through.

This is not an easy subject to talk about. And this post, it’s gonna be a little on the heavy side, readers be warned.

For the sake of this ask alone I will be talking about homosexuality and only homosexuality.  

I will also want to open by saying that perceptions are changing anon.  Even if they haven’t started to in your neck of the woods, they are in many other countries.

There are many religious people that do think differently, that don’t perceive homosexuality as a sin.

Pope Francis has weighed on it, saying that he thinks that same sex couples should be allowed to have recognized civil unions:

"Homosexual people have a right to be in a family...They are children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or made miserable over it...What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered.”

Sadly, even after saying the above, nothing has been done to change the church’s official position that homosexuality is a sin.

I'm not a religious person, never have been. I believe that the basis of religions may be positive, well some of it: love thy neighbour, respect your parents, be a good person, but the religious establishments, the power they seek and possess over the people, that is so wrong, in my opinion.  

And the views against homosexuality, well that comes exactly from those places. Control and power over the people.

Homosexuality anon, is part of nature, and happens in many species of animals. Homosexuality, attraction to men, is not a choice, it's something you are born with. 

There are so many articles and papers written by actual scientists on the matter.  All you need do is google it.

The Conversation

Stop calling it a choice: Biological factors drive homosexuality

A new study of nearly 500,000 individuals finds that many genes affect same-sex behavior, including newly identified candidates that may reg

And it most definitely isn't a sin or dirty or wrong. It's just different. Being attracted to men rather than women is different, different than what most men are attracted to, as part of natures plan for procreation. And human society deeming it as wrong, as sinful, not allowed, well that is part of said control I was talking about - a man shall not waste their sperm, which is meant for procreation.

We find this in the bible, the holly book that set up the rules and laws for a new GROWING society, the Hebrews. There was kind of a logical reason for setting said rules in place. When you are trying to build a society, you want it to multiply and grow. 

And having to set said rules, laws, well that kind of teaches you something else anon, something that we can also find in art and writings from said period and after - homosexuality, m/m sex, it was something that was definitely happening at the time, if there was a need to outlaw it.

Setting these laws was not only to ensure procreation and growth of the society, but also to set them apart from other cultures and societies at that time.

The bible, Judaism, well that was the first of the 3 monotheistic religions and their beliefs were the basis for Christianity and Islam.

People think it’s a sin, say it’s dirty, because that’s what they have been told for so many years.  

And please don’t get me going on the sexual abuse, including by men of the cloth (from every single religion) towards young boys.  Men that have no problem to abuse their power and abuse young innocent children.  Same men that will stand up and in the sermon call out homosexuality.

Let’s talk about the 10 commandments, the 10 basic laws god gave upon humans, the 10 commandments that both Jews and Christians should abide by are:

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.

Honor your father and your mother.

You shall not kill.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.

These are the 10 big no-nos. Of which too many people, religious people, people that call homosexuality dirty and wrong and a sin, disobey. They steal from others, they cheat, they lie, they covet, omg do they covet what isn't theirs.

Another no no, one that finds it’s place in the bible, is that a man shall not waste their sperm (hence homosexuality being a sin).  But masturbation is most definitely considered a sin as well.  How about that?  How many of said men calling homosexuality a sin haven’t masturbated during their lives?

And yet, all these ‘sinners’ find it in them to bare judgement over 2 men that find love in each other?

2 consenting adults, regardless of their sex, being together, doing whatever they are doing together, without hurting anyone else - why is that a sin?  Why is that wrong or dirty?  

There are things that have been done in the name of god, that are beyond wrong or sinful.  Witch hunts, the crusades, the inquisition...

Me saying that those speaking in the name of god aren’t always right.  

So, to sum this nice little Ted talk, religions deeming something as wrong doesn't necessarily make it so, ahm. There are many rules and laws created by said religions that are being questioned now days, some accepted, some not.

And now to you being the odd one out, the one that thinks differently than the others, that's not an easy cross to bare (and I am using that reference on purpose here).  But you see, being the odd one out, the one to call out on society doing something wrong, while everyone else is doing that said thing, or everyone else believes otherwise, well, that most definitely doesn’t make you wrong.

There have been so many people over history that have stood up, called out cultures, societies, the religious establishment for their wrong doings.  They were the odd ones out, but history taught us that even though they were alone or in a minority, at the end of the day they were right.

Galileo - he paid with his freedom for it.  But he was right, not the church, not the majority.  He was considered a heretic for his views, his beliefs, that turned out to be the actual physical truth.

So anon, you being the odd one out, you being able to see that love is love is love...that might make you the odd one out, but it most definitely does not make you the wrong one !!!

This recurring thing of confining queer relationships to sexual lens only to dimiss them has to stop ffs

I'm ok with people not believing jikook are together but can we all admit that something definitely happened between them years ago, *sexually*, and they liked it otherwise we wouldn't see them so often together. You can deny a relationship but you can't deny the sexual tension and electric chemistry between those guys

Uh. Y'ALL. You can't legitimately think that Jikook just did the thing once or ten times back in the day and did not fall in love. I don't think you think that anon, but I think other people try to justify them that way. FWB MY ASS HAVE YOU SEEN THE EYES ON THESE TWO?!

Those are not horny eyes. I mean, okay yes they can be but in that moment those are not horny eyes. Those eyes speak of adoration. There is a huge difference. Not platonic "oh that baby duck is so cute". Not "oh I'mma rail that into oblivion later".

ADORATION. Love. That is exactly what drew most of us into the whole Jeon-Park household in the first place. Okay, yes, something sexual happened between them on hickey night that's for damn sure and it wasn't the first hickey we've seen on either of them. They have a five-year history of questionable alone time behavior resulting in makeup, blackmail material, giggles and inside jokes and sixteen boatloads of sexual tension. Surreptitious touches and lip bites and sly grins are just a normal Wednesday in the Jeon-Park house and shared workplace. We all been knew. But admitting a relationship is sexual is not the same thing as reducing a relationship to Just Sexual. I don't think that's what you were trying to do, but some fans do just that. And it's disrespectful to Jimin and Jungkook as loving partners to invalidate their emotion in favor of their dicks. People who reduce their love to an FWB hornfest or who use horny as a barometer for them are just as homophobic as people who refuse to see anything at all.

Below is a wonderfully edifying submission from @tell-me-everything. My comments are at the end in italics.

I get very frustrated when I see casual social media posts or analysis videos claiming to know exactly what Jungkook is feeling based on his body language or his facial expressions, and I feel like a lot of the harmful stereotypes and misinformation within the fandom come from these posts that are essentially based on guesswork. We never know exactly what is going on inside a person’s head, and we’re all just making our best guesses based on our own experiences and preconceptions about people.

So I wanted to write up a few examples of ways that I as an autistic person might read JK’s body language differently based on my own experiences and those of my close friends of other neurotypes. And I thought this blog might be a good place to share this. I’m not trying to say that Jungkook actually is neurodivergent in any particular way. However, he does have some behaviors that I relate to and that I think might be misinterpreted, so I want to provide some alternative explanations. I may be preaching to the choir by submitting this on Tumblr, but oh well, here we go.

1. Indirect Eye Contact

Something that really gets my goat (and the reason I decided to write this submission) is how the fandom often interprets the way JK stares off into space or at another person or at the ground.

Neurotypical people tend to prioritize eyes as “windows to the soul,” and they often assume that the direction in which the eyes are pointed is where the person’s attention is pointed. For neurodiverse people, that is often not the case. 

There are two big reasons for this: First, eye contact is very overwhelming for many people, so they will process information better while looking away. Second, many neurodiverse people have different types of audio processing difficulties, so in the chaos of a conversation or a lecture, or a concert, the person might have to “turn off” their eyes for a bit in order to focus all of their effort on listening. Some people describe this as “seeing the sounds,” where they even create their own subtitles for what is being said or try to visualize the content in some other way.

Free Jungkook from your homophobia, more like.

Homophobic hateful behavior. That’s what it is when a man is telling you out loud who he loves and you’d rather deflect, avoid, deny and invalidate. You’d rather scream at his employer, hate his lover, and call him a liar than listen to the man you say you love. You’re wrong. It’s wrong. No argument you have is valid at this point. You believe him or you choose to deny him on the basis of your prejudice against him. That’s it. When people choose to actively denigrate, invalidate and hate on an individual due to their perceived or obvious sexual orientation and/or choice of partner, those people are not fans. Those people are by definition haters, antis and bullies. You are perpetrating homophobic abusive bullshit on two men who have done nothing but love you, entertain you and work for you and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
