Uh I am almost certainly going to buy at least one of these official (?) skz keychains where each skzoo character has a different pride flag
Bang Chan = pansexual
Lee Know = lesbian
Changbin = gay (or general rainbow pride)
I.N = asexual
Hyunjin = non-binary
Han = genderfluid
Felix= bisexual
Seungmin = demisexual
Chicken :cqlgusu:
Felix kinda sorta came out as bisexual already.
Even though there's no evidence to support any of the other associations, I quite like them and they seem to fit well. (Except Lee Know's probably not a lesbian.)
Chicken :cqlgusu:
I'm getting the pansexual Wolfchan because I am pansexual, and also because my PuppyM keychain needs a Wolfchan.
(Actually my PuppyM needs all the other members too but I'm trying to be at least a little bit restrained.)
Chicken :cqlgusu:
@glitchontwitch I'm speculating that Felix hasn't been more out is that he's waiting until any other queers in skz are ready & able to come out too. So they can all do it together & publicly support each other.
(& these days I think "any other queers in skz" might actually be all of them, even though that idea seemed ridiculous to me a few months ago)
Since most of them have to do military service, it might be a few years from now.
Or maybe March next year when JYPE contract expires...?

@lookitmychicken It's occasionally funny when people are like: But no... that doesn't mean... They could be saying...
And I'm standing there like: "No, that's exactly the sort of thing we say in mixed company. I dunno what to tell you? Plausible deniability saves lives?" :blobcatfingerguns:
And honestly, the thing with Felix wasn't even as subtle as all that. At least, what I'm thinking of. It just wasn't an official-like publicly issued statement.
So yis. I smiled at Bbokari's listed flag.
Chicken :cqlgusu:
@glitchontwitch oh I'm sure JYPE will want to renew their contracts. I just don't know if they'll accept it.
If they do, I expect they'll be able to negotiate much better contracts, with bigger financial percentages, or more freedoms, or both.
If they leave JYPE, I'd expect them to all leave together. They've all (?) said fairly intense stuff about being together as a group for the rest of their lives, they wouldn't be able to live without each other, etc.

@lookitmychicken (I do hope their contract gets renewed? But I also hope at that point the implied clout will mean more leeway on that front.)

@lookitmychicken it is a thought. I don’t have much in the way of strong opinions wrt most of them on that front, but also I don’t watch as much of their reality/variety as many Stays do.
That said, the performing arts tend to disproportionately attract us. And that seems to not be limited to any specific culture.
With that in mind, there are eight of them. On numbers alone… My napkin math says: I’d be surprised if Felix was alone.
Chicken :cqlgusu:
@glitchontwitch some of that is probably youthful idealism + some trauma, and reality will probably fuck things up at some point. But I believe they genuinely mean it.
Inoru
@lookitmychicken oh no those are CUTE. *pokes calculator* ahaha so cannot afford $96 (before shipping and taxes and import fees) for cute keychains. 😭😭 tragic, my life is so hard, etc. 🤣
Chicken :cqlgusu:
Okay I lied. I'm not getting any merch from that site.
... because they only accept payment from Mastercard or Discover card.
Um, what? Visa card not accepted? Can't even do paypal or direct bank transfer?
Well. Okay then.
If anyone knows of another online place where I can buy official Stray Kids merch, please let me know!
Chicken :cqlgusu:
@1ksrw aha yeah the other site was too good to be true :/
Not much available on the official JYP site or JYP Japan, so I'll just cry quietly and save my money, I guess
CRUSH
@lookitmychicken that site definitely is not official merch, this is the only official skz store rn https://en.thejypshop.com/straykids.html aside from the japan shop and random pop up sites they sometimes do. although i don't think they have any skzoo stuff stocked in the main shop rn, japan has some new stuff though https://jypj-store.com/collections/stray-kids-official-goods
