Most kpop stans only care about world issues when it affects their faves

"spend some time on tiktok"

don't trust tiktok, do your own research,, you can easily be mislead etc.

Ok you’re usually a troll but u kinda spilled with this one. And also

I stopped reading after tiktok

Okay you didnt have to spill your completely correct on this one. This is what I've been thinking when the whole BTS thing happened. Also this reminds of of the performative activism armies had when BTS donated to BLM, not even armies the whole kpop fandom as a whole. And then a month later people were back to being racist and defending their racist idols again. I'm not saying the whole fandom was like this but the majority.

Not true.

Amazing incoming news: people can have more than one interest. You can like an entertainment group, but also read politics and donate to social issues. If you want to stereotype a whole fandom, that's silly. ARMY and Blinks both have outside-of kpop interests that include greater social issues. Evidence: both groups have contributed to do things like save rainforests, help pets in shelters, or donate to BLM. People aren't one-dimensional.

You came for two of the most actively charitable fanbases in the world... why?

Isn't it natural? There is not much we can do about world issues so al we can do is worry about our faves.

Most kpop stans are asians, most kpop stans are women...

Not really sure why you think they don't care about anti-asian racism or sexism when they are directly affected. Fandom offers a method of action, and grants a bigger impact, but I firmly believe that people are sincere when they talk about these issues, and try to fight them with their own weapons.

Just like for most social issues, they just use this specific example to federate and have a bigger impact.

Also are you seriously complaining about people fighting racism and giving to charities ? Jesus Christ.

They seem to think that since THEY are completely selfish and unable to care about any cause, the rest of the world should be the same, and people should only be pretending to care.

People forget that most armys are even on Twitter because of BTS. We rarely have moots who have interactions with non armys who keep up to date with social issues on Twitter. I don’t know for others but I was pretty aware of the anti Asian racism going on. One army big account I follow posted about these things so I was aware of it. But remember that not all armys follow that account. The only account to be able to tweet something so that every army on Twitter takes part is BTS. They are the biggest account in the fandom.

Thankfully armys have done well to come together at crucial times to defend against injustices and spread their love through charities. I wonder what kpop even as a whole has ever done about these things. And what music fandoms out there are actually doing the things armys do on daily basis.

And not you trying to call out armys and blinks; what have other fandoms ever done on Twitter in the first place apart from trending about their faves and scandals. Shut up

^ Agreed.

To add: There's really only so much an individual can do. Both of the fandoms have large fanbases that are constantly doing whatever they can to help with social issues, like fundraising and donating to various charities. People do what they can, I don't think it's fair to say they (generalizing fandoms) "don't care".

Yup. 200% right. Kpop stans and their hypocrisy is next level.

CA is the same. When the group u dislike does CA it's bad and everything. When fave does same paras of defense.

It's very true. Recently due to covid a lot of east Asians have been victim to racist attacks but you don't hear kpop bring it up much. When one of their faves gets a questionable comment about them by non fans or media there's a suddenly massive anti Asian attack going on

Sorry, but BTS fans can't be hypocrites. We can't only be worried about racism faced by our favs because according to the kpop community BTS has never faced any racism. Every time BTS fans say that someone has written or said something racist about BTS, the kpop community tells BTS fans that we're being sensitive, that what that person wrote or said isn't racist and that fans just can't take people not liking their boy band.

So, no thank you. leave BTS and BTS fans out of your fake righteous indignation rant.

this is painfully true

one second kpop fandoms were screaming blm and then the next they're doxxing, mass reporting and harassing blk stans for holding their faves accountable for ca and racism
