Its Such A Shame People Reacted Like This. I Love Both Ships And How Krist Cherishes Them - Tumblr Posts

Fuck everyone who made Krist uncomfortable to be on social media. I don't know how to verbalize this. He was able to slowly get comfortable enough to really fully return to social media after all the hate he received before, all so he can communicate with his fans, and what he got in response was vitriol and cruelty for not catering to exactly what people wanted from him.

Being a fan is about uplifting and supporting artists, not wanting to control them and how they act. And it also sure isn't spreading hatred and harassment towards him for posting a photo of his friend.

And while I'm focusing specifically on the situation with Krist, this is really a major problem plaguing the entire BL community and it's disrespect for actors. In fact, I'd probably say it's the biggest problem, and the root of most of the issues we have. It's driving the hate that actors are getting for anything that gets in the way of the fantasy people have in their heads, whether it's the situation with Tay and Gun kissing, all of the different BL actors who have dated (such as Mile recently), or every time that people are bitter about people having close friends outside of their preferred BL partner.

I do respect the BL partner system for its pros. I follow many pairs. I can say wholeheartedly that I think there's a reason I think it's formed and is continuing to persist. I think many of the actors in fixed pairings really do enjoy it.

Krist in particular really enjoys being able to work with people close to him. Working with Gawin on Be My Favorite gave him a close friend he cares for, and he wanted to work with Singto again because he simply enjoys working with his close friend. He's so happy. He's repeated over and over again how happy he is.

But people had to spoil his happiness. Because the worst of how fans act when it comes to ships is this. Harming the people that they claim to be fans of.
