This is why men especially stupid men need to stop obsessing fantasizing and thinking a relationship with a woman is a big deal when it's not and never was and never will be. friendship exists pets exist. Humans don't need romance when it's just a simple connection with a friend we need at the end of the day we need to start pushing friendships and healthy boundaries to men these days.

⁠​⁠​⁠@pepedust782a case where this happened that bothers me is with karina from aespa. people (mainly korean netizens) ended up pressuring her into releasing an apology. she literally posted a handwritten apology note on instagram. it was honestly heartbreaking seeIng her have to apologize for being in love. it’s also bizarre that they even get hate, do their fans think that they would be able to date them? like, sorry bill, you were never gonna be able to date an a list celebrity. i mean, i’m a big kpop fan (i really only stan girl groups and girl group communities are pretty chill, but a lot of male girl group fans (not all of them of course!) are kinda crazy. i’m a lesbian and i am definitely attracted to a lot of female idols and joke around that they’re my gf/wife, but i understand that i’d never actually be able to date them. but there are a lot of people who are deluded enough to think they actually could.

[@shan1a_t]

As a One Direction fan, this is literally just Larry Stylinson believers. (Larry is a ship between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson in One Direction, the ship started in 2010 and ppl are still completely dedicated to it to this day, even as grown adults) They act like Louis' child isn't real/ or "management" forced him to have a child with his wife Elanor. There are also theories that claim that Elanor is a role played by many different people. Everyone Harry Styles tries to date, larries attack the person he's dating online, and if the person he's dating ends up breaking up with him, they take to the internet to f*cking CELEBRATE that they broke up. Larries are just fully denying that Louis and Harry are most likely straight, even though Louis has stated it many times.. (idk about harry though. he says he prefers not to label his sexuality, but has also said that being a woman isn't exactly a very important trait in someone he dates. However, he has only ever publicly dated women.) Side note, the Larries are SO POPULAR in the fandom that not only are they everywhere, a larry smut fanfic segment also appeared on a Euphoria episode in 2019.. overall they just kinda wild

[@shan1a_t]

Also, getting into an argument with a larrie is the most draining thing ever, because they just repeat and repeat and repeat information that you've already debunked, eventually tiring you out and giving up with the worthless ahh argument 😭🙏

[@venus9820]

the reason why they acted so entitle to their idols cuz they thought they spend a lot of money, times and other things as well for their idols but mostly money for example i'd say like us inter fans we only bought one album or two but for them kfans they bought like lots of them up to hundreds or something so they can win in music show and other places, also even to make effort for their idols so they can be well known such as giving out albums on the streets. so when their idols caught dating someone these fans they feel betrayed its like "i put so much love in this particular idol but they dont they love someone else more than me". which is u know very toxic way of thinking i hated this too😢

[@panjinurfadillah2489]

​@@venus9820It's a fundamental problem, in their eyes these idols are the only thing that comfort them even beyond anything, and push anything that isn't related to them as nothing, like the idol could just say as a joke they like a particular style of fashion, those toxis fans are gonna do their best to get that style of fashion even if it cost 10.000 dollar they will get it, money for money, dept for dept, just to feel notice. It's something that tend to happened when someone gets lonely and has no one to talk, relly show how some people get so lonely and Delusional to point of being obsession with their idol

[@buddylord3276]

@@swizinSims Seriously? Do you really mean what you just said? Dude, you're the perfect example of why opinions can be wrong. He killed 2 completely innocent people through extremely reckless behavior which would've been illegal even if he hadn't killed anyone. The fact that predators may get less time than he did would be a different discussion worth talking about. Taking that as an argument though, to say he got too much time instead of advocating for predators getting more, makes it clear that there's something seriously wrong with your way of thinking.

[@4m0nym]

​@@swizinSims First of all, he wasn't a teenager. He was 18. Yes, the mind is still developing at that age but when you're 18 years old, you're developed enough that you will know that what you're doing is wrong when you do it or plan to do something. Even without the killing of 2 people he was driving 102 mph in a 45 mph zone. I don't know how it works in the US but where I'm from you get your drivers license revoked for life for that shit. Second of all: "we've all done stupid things". How dare you compare killing 2 innocent people, one of which a toddler mind you, to the average person. What the fuck is wrong with you. 3rd: "24 years is too much when we have actual criminals". So that dude wasn't a criminal? At this point I don't believe you're serious anymore. You just can't be. Lastly: "accidents are still accidents" You don't just kill 2 people on accident. Something like that doesn't just happen out of nowhere. Otherwise this stuff would happen all the time to all kinds of people. Driving over the twice the speed limit was a conscious and intentional choice. This doesn't mean he intentionally ran them over. But, I repeat, his EXTREMELY reckless behaviour led to it.

To let everyone know, every single fanbase has a toxic side, and it may not always represent as that certain fanbase as a whole. My only advice here is that it's okay to like a certain piece of media or a celebrity, but ALSO stay away from engaging in that toxic side so that it won't affect you and your point of view of that piece of media/celebrity or its fandom as a whole.

[@OverlordZeroULTIMA]

Yeah, that is a very good fact right there. Even innocent things like My Little Pony have their "insane" fans. I don't use social platforms as it is, so I don't really engage with anyone in a fandom related forum, but I've seen Visual's vids and it brought that to my attention. I do wonder why someone would start a "fanbase" for things like mass murderers, though...I mean, it's one thing to write dark stories about these things and have your own characters, but why would you basically put a murderer on a pedistal and hope they get out of prison, despite what they did? That "cute" guy may look that way on the outside but you gotta realize that the inside isn't gonna be as much so - he's done bad stuff. He's twisted by a person who said it was (whatever) to commit crimes! Basically he's Darth Vader, and while there's a chance of him turning and finding some real help, he's in reality not someone you should be praising and wanting to hang out with - especially if he comes after you for his next criminal act.

[@Yegor_Mechanic]

Very true. That's the reason why I, for example, stay away from most Minecraft-related social media, while still watching people building orbital waterguns in the Nether and redstone computers

[@chelsicalhoun6266]

The real issue with that is the “toxic side” of fandoms have become near ubiquitous. They scream the loudest, control discussion online, shake and dehumanize people who think/feel differently, gatekeep, etc… And thanks to negative emotions being so addictive, it’s legit hard to find communities of areas that aren’t filled with vitriol at some point. And even moderating your online presence may not be enough.

it's crazy to me how some kpop fans go friggen crazy about the weight of idols, but some of them don't even live a healthy lifestyle and they themselves don't even fit the beauty standards that they demand idols to have. we're living in a society where people like to point fingers when they should actually be looking at themselves.

[@Emil_Stoltz]

I mean, yeah. The people who have the mindset of "She shouldn't be dating, because I want a chance with her" are basement dwellers and neckbeards. Like, broski, even if the Idol's desperate and no one else are willing to date them, they'd stay single over getting with a K Pop stan. Especially considering K Pop stans are very vocal about things and the Idols definitely see the shit they post on social media. Sure, they don't speak good English, but considering most, if not all, Koreans can read and understand English, there's no way Idols don't know what's going on in their community

As being a devoted BTS fan for 8 years now, this is why we have to constantly remind some fans that they aren't BTS's parents or anyone. Just do your duty as a fan in streaming and voting.

FINALLY! I’ve always hoped this channel would mention the Kpop fandom, because while casual fans just want to enjoy the music and find some of the content fun, the parasocial fans think that they know and own the performers in question, and they kind of ruin the experience for casual fans. I really don’t tell people except close family that I listen to K-pop, mainly because of the scary side of the fanbase, but as a casual fan you also don’t want to set off the parasocial fans because they’ll dox casual fans for saying things as light as “oh I don’t like [insert new song here] that much.” or “yeah [insert group here] really isn’t the kind of group I’d be into.” It’s wild, but unfortunately most of the singers companies actually promote this kind of thing to keep the money coming.

[@nolasdays]

As a kpop fan, I’d like to state a few things for people who are unfamiliar with how our fandoms work, so yes the kpop industry is very toxic, im sure most of us know that, personally im not really involved in the the drama that goes on, and I mostly just like it cause of the music but Ill give you some insight: the parasocial relationships that fans form with idols have been insanely normalized and most fans don’t even realize how obsessed they are with these artists, however… we can’t solely blame THEM for this, kpop companies highly encourage this behaviour.. why? profit. They make fans feel like the idols only have eyes for them and basically like they’re gonna be 60yo jumping up and down on stage and telling them how much they love them and want to protect them blah blah blah. Sometimes it’s not even just romantic parasocial relationships that they form but they literally consider that person/group THEIR FAMILY, they literally form cults and joke about it like it’s the most normal thing ever, and don’t even get me started on how defensive they get if you even so DARE to criticize their favs, I had a personal experience with this that I’ll give as an example: So, the group enhypen recently had a comeback, after listening to the album I went onto a certain community that I will not name, to give my opinion and discuss a very important issue that I had with it, mind you I SPECIFICALLY stated that I was not trying to criticize the members of the group, I said that I was dissatisfied with the album BECAUSE it felt like the other songs apart from the title track were very rushed + the issue that I had was that the members haven’t had a break in a very long time and I was just worried for their health. The amount of backlash that I got is something you wouldn’t even expect from the craziest Taylor swift stans. What’s even crazier is how fast they switch up, when I went on there the following morning, the same people that were threatening to dox me were giving me warm “good morning‘s” I honestly thought I was tweaking. Although I can say I also blame the idols themselves a little for the parasocial behaviour issue, sometimes the idols are straight forward and DONT feed into fans’ delusions. Other times, however, they completely encourage it, like I get “loving your fans” or what not for getting u to where you are but sometimes it goes too far and when they start “flirting” with their fans I feel like it just gets even weirder from a perspective of a normal person, like I said it’s gotten so normalized that the videos of “idols flirting with fans 😂😂❤ XO” get shared around on different social media platforms and the response is always the same.. “oh he’s so silly” “he was teasing her” “haha I’d pass out if he did that to me” … yeah I think u get what im pointing at.. also a former idol has revealed that once when she had to fill out a forum on “her ideal type” she was told not to actually put her ideal type and be as vague as possible so yeah.. Also another big issue is SHIPPING … like on one end there’s people who would go insane if they found out their favourite idol was dating and on the other end there’s the ones who would literally track u down if u said that their favourite ship “isnt real”… an example for one of these would be Minsung (a ship name for lee know(Minho) and Han jisung from stray kids) also one of the most popular ships in the entire kpop fandom, but trust me the “I love their FRIENDSHIP” people aren’t any better(insisting that they are friends and there’s no possibility of anything more) Please DO NOT take this as me defending shippers I do not support shipping anyone in ANY WAY unless it is confirmed by the parties involved themselves, what im trying to say is that shippers are just as bad as the fans that don’t let their idols date, and if there are any of them reading this: No, Lee know and Han aren’t getting each other pregnant in the bathroom of a music show. Anyway I think im going a bit off track here.. another thing I’d like to talk about is the normalization of debuting minors and LITERAL CHILDREN in the industry. It’s a very big issue that even kpop fans have started to realize but also something I don’t think will change soon and might just get even worse, let me get something clear: being an artist/idol is a FULL TIME JOB, and it’s a very risky industry to step into when you’re just starting out, and a big part of it, as stated in the video, are visuals. There is a certain age limit until which someone can debut and an even lower one for they can become a trainee/start training, which is why many of them start VERY young even in their pre teen years, nowadays it’s normal to see a child of 12-14 years old debut, and being an active idol is unbelievably difficult and tiring, and even tho this issue has been talked about among fans I think people still don’t care enough for something to actually change. I’d like to be able to say that it’s “not all kpop fans” and “locals just don’t get it” and trust me there really are some normal ones (hi im one of them ig?) but it definitely is MOST. Anyway if you actually read through all of this, here’s a cake 🎂 cause damn you deserve it

Also, about the criminal fanbase, I think that most of the people who idolise too much on outlaw person just want to be famous, that's not love. Or maybe worse, some people may think that the crime which are made is meaning "strong" and the weird action have made just to show the strengh (this is the worst one that I can think because you know if that's really happened, it means that's an ideal and an ideal can spread).

It's not that the police don't take them seriously it's just that with certain cases where the victim knowingly and willingly puts themselves in those situations, they the victims are pretty much tying the hands of law enforcement as any halfway decent lawyer can point to the victim not changing any of their routines against them... the moral of the story is don't put your business on the internet for attention because you're going to get the attention you asked for

[@amandapanda5087]

[@Plant-c9p]

Basically the fandom is divided by how people go about figuring out which Godzilla/kaiju is stronger, and no one agrees with each other, which basically just leads to tons of death threats from one party, the one person taking out their anger on other members of said party, which causes THAT party to not take too kindly to people of the adjacent party, which continues the cycle of ever-increasing toxicity. At this point, if you wanna make an opinion on something Godzilla related, prepare to have the reasoning and patience to defend it, because someone is going to get angry. And that’s not even mentioning the ridiculous amount of pedophilia, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, etc. in the fandom. Granted, it’s a loud minority, just a really, REALLY loud minority, paired with a really quiet majority, and a lot of big content creators (especially the younger ones and the females) are starting to leave the fandom due to constant sexual harassment, or just flat-out discrimination against their race, religion, sexuality, etc. And all of this is at an all-time high, so let’s just say it’s not a good time to be a Godzilla fan.

I’m apart of a lot of fandoms. Mainly musical fandoms. My first ever fandom exposure I would say was the Percy Jackson fandom in December 2020. This was before the show came out and I think right around the time it was getting announced that Disney was considering the TV show. Anyways, back then, the fandom was extremely laid back I would say. We all had very similar opinions in similar characters. Octavian was hated Percy was stronger than Nico etc etc. I mean sometimes we would argue over small minor details every fandom does but we were really calm. Then the show was casted and came out. I will say that’s when everything went toxic. Back when I first joined the fandom there was a running joke that everyone in the PJO fandom was apart of LGBTQIA group. There’s a meme of some guy going “nice gay shirt” and pointing at a camp half blood t-shirt. Now that joke won’t ever work. Walker Scobell was cast as Percy Jackson in the new show. I have no hate for him whatsoever. He’s a kid for crying out loud. He’s a couple months younger than me. But him being cast as Percy brought a new group of pjo fans. Cis white girls who obsess and sexualize people. Not all of them are like this but still. The fandom went toxic. People started obsessing over Walker and then turned to Annabeth’s actor, a young black actress. There is so much hate towards Annabeth that sickens me. Someone in her family revealed a bit ago that she was getting sent death threats. DEATH THREATS. TO A 14 YEAR OLD. BECAUSE SHES NOT A WHITE BLONDE. It’s sick. I left the fandom shortly after the show came out and shortly after the whole Leah Sava Jeffries death threat thing. Partly because I got into musicals and that became my new hyper fixation and partly because of the fandom’s toxicity. i have no clue what the fandom is like now and I’m going to wait a bit until everything calms down but it’s sad to see such a happy fandom crumble because of toxicity. I miss my happy little gay fandom.
