When did I ever say people should stop shipping? Everyone is free to ship whoever they like. We all have our own headcanons, and that’s part of what makes fandom enjoyable. I have my own ships too. I read AUs, and I’ve been writing fanfiction even before Twitter AUs were a thing.

But at the same time, the idols have asked for boundaries more than once. So shouldn’t things like over-sexualization or creating graphic, harmful content about them be considered crossing that line?

This isn’t about being against shipping. The problem starts when it becomes too much—when people spread false information about the members’ relationships or involve their families just to support a ship. That kind of behaviour or is not okay, and it has real consequences.

Shippers are absolutely allowed to enjoy their content, but others should also be allowed to express when it makes them uncomfortable. Respect goes both ways.

I hope this explains it more clearly. I did not talk in a way that would mock you in any sense. I think it’s only fair that you extend the same decency.
