Since it's currently being ranted about, I couldn't help myself.
There are certain fandom 'cliches' that I like to use.
Boo will always be a nickname that I use for Jaejoong. It's cute, it's been stated as something he's occasionally called, I like it.
Jae will always fall prey to the Umma tease. As it's been pointed out, they're all guys. And excuse me, but if your friend gets publicly called 'Umma' or any other feminine term - especially if he finds it in the least bit insulting or even just kind of '*sigh* >_> not again' - you're going to rub it in. I have brothers. Trust me on this. One can be getting completely stomped by the other for it and still rub it in with teasing every single chance he gets.
On the other side of that one, Changmin, Yoochun, and Junsu will always be teased for being the 'kiddies', the youngest of them, regardless. If nothing else, it's a shared amusement among the two oldest.
Yunho will always dance. If nothing else, he'll dance just to remember that it's something that he loved before it became his job.
Jaejoong will always like to cook. He's said as much and even if it was just for show, I like it, it works for me. He probably won't have much time for it, but he will still enjoy it.
I'm sure there are others, but I'm pressed for time right now.
Despite these things, I don't think it makes me a fandom photocopy author. I also don't think it means that I try to make Jaejoong some kind of uber-woman or Yunho some kind of gung-ho guy.
I understand that there are examples of both littered through out the fandom, but to say that everyone who uses these are afraid of them both being guys is... well, it's kind of insulting and very much a generalization just like the ones we're supposedly making.
