??? Why are you uncomfortable??? You aren’t the one being sexualized so??? I mean you can argue for the idol being uncomfortable but what do you have to do with it???

We live in a society where sex sales. The Infantilization of idols weirds me out bcuz same idols be practically stripping on stage or grinding their way to heaven
It's like what that dude from Shinhwa said the other day, people want their idols to be sexy but sexless at the same time...

Interestingly enough... although I make the most 18+ threads on this site, I've never really gotten that!

Also it's more that when they see others talking about shiz like that, they themselves start to think about it and they feel uncomfortable thinking about it. So in actuality it isn't really YOU sexualizing them that bothers peeps, it's them thinking about idols in a sexualized way that makes them uncomfy.

To me the entire mindset is similar to "If you don't want to be raped/harassed, don't wear revealing clothes."
Firstly, this is what sells. The idols have to do this in order to get clout. Secondly, it isn't always their choice. In the case that it is, it's usually for fanservice.
If an idol does it because it makes them feel confident, and even says (such as Hyuna), the situation is a bit different, but still similar. Yes, their point was to be attractive in that sense, but to write and read smuts about them, and do these "imagines" about things you want to do to them is disgusting. They are not objects.

ah yes but you see that analogy is false
revealing clothes =/= sexual assualt
being an idol = fans that like you for reasons that you are already !!!aware!!!! of when you sign up

12 year olds who sign to companies may be aware of the issue, but not what grief it will cause them. Regardless, they become idols to be loved, not to get treated as objects for sick fantasies.
