#the only response i've gotten so far from my followers on instagram and tumblr is preminger lol

It’s hard to tell people you’re a lumi when we’re really not welcomed anywhere right now. It’s almost scary at how everyone hates us. I’ve tried talking to other blogs and it’s really not welcomed because we’re bad guys right now too. Even when I am respectful or point out how some things don’t see so clear I’ve gotten called names and an enabler and get the nasty attitude because they believe he’s guilty.

I stopped following a lot of people on a lot of the platforms so I can stop seeing the hate and rumors. I used to really like tumblr/Twitter/Reddit but rn I go on Twitter to check the news and I come by your blog on tumblr only because it feels like a space where Opinions are okay. I’ve stopped going on Reddit cause they have convicted him too and any other opinion isn’t welcomed either. It sounds like a pity party but it’s just about feeling safe I guess. I understand some people do too much, but some people don’t yet they’re still getting hate. Even when other people have started fights or have said something that is really wrong or false, they don’t get jumped. Lumis who try to correct and call people out for they nonsense get jumped instead. Someone called him/said he was a p******* and lumis came to fight because that’s not even what is happening or what was in the news. Instead of other people coming in trying to correct this person, the people in the qrt just call lumis names and makes more jokes how he is jobless. I don’t if that makes sense. Hating him and lumis is a free pass. No one from other fandoms will come to help or defend lumis even when other parties are wrong. It’s silence or joining the name calling.

i'm so sorry for the late response! life got in the way ><

i totally understand what you mean. i've gone through similar things with people i stanned (won't name who tho) and it's just another reason why i tend to keep my mouth shut and not talk online.

i really admire how you're brave enough to state you're a lumi. i can't deal with the shit people throw so i tend to keep who i like a secret for the most part.

and honestly, i just wish people could respect others. like as long as you're respectful, i'll be respectful back, yknow? why is it so hard for people to just be respectful back?

everyone is always welcome to state what they want on my blog as long as they're being respectful and so far everyone has been which makes me so happy.

people always tend to make the verdict before there is a real verdict. it's sad. it just shows how they don't really care for the "truth" or anything. they just have their own agenda.

honestly, i'm not on reddit and i never explore on instagram. i only stick to fanfics on tumblr. i only use twitter to keep up with the latest news, but stay away from most fan accounts. i literally don't follow anyone except verified accounts. but this is also just because of how little i actually use the app in general. if i really do need to know what's going on on the "inside" i have a really really old stan account for that.

it's that kind of toxic behavior that makes me sometimes embarrassed to say i'm a kpop stan or stan a specific group. they give us a bad rep. they ruin it for the good ones. but they also make me want to stay away because i cannot deal with that toxicity after being surrounded by it for so long in my personal life.

and lastly, i can tell you from personal experience, that in times like these you can't expect anyone to help defend. it's a lonely journey(?) (sorry i didn't know what word to use) and all you have is your fandom of supporters. there can always be some people from other places on your side, but as a whole, it's really only your fandom.

while we hate it and wish it were different, it's how things are. we can only hope one day it'll change.
