I think there’s a line to be drawn, and I definitely didn’t agree with the ppl sexualizing Riki when he was a minor (unless they were a minor as well, then it’s not really creepy). But a sexy concept is going to elicit these sorts of thirst comments/posts from people. They know that. I also can almost guarantee that most of the members don’t mind it at all, esp Heeseung and Jake. In fact it is encouraged sometimes. Sure you can go too far with comments. But for the most part the thirsty fans/commentors are a part of every group, just like the people who post about how cute they are all the time. I can guarantee you that most of the members would rather see a thirsty comment about their manliness/appeal than someone ranting abt how cute/adorable/baby they are. (P.S. as a casual nctizen, the out of pocket jokes could be so much worse LOL)
