How a person with retaliation mentality thinks:
"One person in your fandom said something unhinged and vile about my faves, so you better hope and pray I don't catch your faves lacking. Even if that person from your fandom is no longer around and I'm actually being an aggressor towards new, innocent members of your fandom who had nothing to do with it, I'm doing it as retaliation, so it is justified."
I'm not a fan of this mindset because there's a blatant lack of self-awareness coming from both sides. Meanwhile the innocent newbies to K-pop are left to suffer because they get dragged into whatever beef that started years before their time. They came with an open mind for multiple groups, but now they're coerced into taking sides or they're afraid to express their love for multiple groups.
What do you think of retaliation mentality in K-pop fanwars?
