to be clear, I don’t condone any sort of fanfic or speculation of sexuality or even agree with the term stan being normalized in a positive context etc wrt any real life person but at the same time

is it really a coincidence that it always happens with bts and bts fans?

Sometimes I’ll see posts laughing at and looking down on kpop stans and I have to wonder if these people are giving an honest criticism about the fandom culture or just being racist

#like I honestly just wonder did these people give other groups a chance and just not vibe with any of their sounds #or did they see one fandom for one group (mostly on twitter btw) and disregard an entire genre #like this is purely speculation and based off of my own exposure but I’d guess that nct has the 2nd worst fandom #do most of the people who mock kpop even know who nct is? I doubt it #If anything they might have heard of jopping (or at least the memes) but most likely also don’t know who SuperM is #tldr nobody is above growth and I think people should really take a second look at themselves #like even I used to look down on the term ‘idol’ and refuse to refer to them as such. only calling them artists/singers/rappers #but like cmon now they are idols. that’s their JOB. their career their livelihood involves more that simply creating music #there’s certain expectations and limitations placed on them as a public figure and ‘idol’ and I just have to accept that #there’s nothing wrong with these people being idols there’s nothing to look down on ykno
