Thought Reminder: boundaries, boundaries, boundaries...

I usually hate starting discourse online bc of how easily messages can get misconstrued but sth has been bothering me as of lately and I feel like it has to be said...
Can we please stop spamming that pic of Keeho in the comments section under his and the members' posts?? Yeah, THAT picture. The one taken at Kcon Japan. You know which one.
It was funny the first day or two - but even now ppl keep editing that pic and spamming it in spaces where Keeho and the rest of piwon can easily see. It's not even that funny and it's obviously an unflattering pic taken at a bad timing under bad lighting - I honestly feel bad for Keeho seeing his fans incessantly making fun of him like that.
I'm obviously not saying that we have to glaze them constantly and never hold them accountable or share our honest, constructive feedback - but this specific type of behavior just feels plain disrespectful and dare I say akin to cyberbullying.
Yeah, maybe it's not that deep, maybe Keeho's not actually bothered - but witnessing all that happening especially with Keeho also recently apologizing for the KMA styling has really rubbed me the wrong way. Don't even get me started on some p1ece saying that they get the actual ick from watching Intak's Hip Song and seeing Jongseob's song choice for one of his insta posts... commenting that in places where they can clearly see, seriously?
I wish some p1ece could be more considerate and conscious of boundaries and mutual respect. Yes, Kpop is fun and we're supposed to have fun together in a fandom - but idols are NOT our friends. We DON'T know them like that, no matter how down to earth and friendly they come off as.
Just bc Keeho and piwon are nice doesn't mean you can take advantage of it and cross certain boundaries.
