Which concerns you the most: idols getting outward hate or secretly perved by fans

Dont care one bit about secretly perving. THat's literal normal human behavior, no matter how much weirdos on Twitter who have never experienced puberty or taken a sex education class might try to deny it. Physical attraction is a NATURAL NORMAL AND SIGNIFICANT PART OF WHAT MAKES US HUMAN FFS.

We all have crushes, but public hate breeds a gang mentality and if hating on someone or something becomes normalized enough (even if its justified) then people will atart to just associate that person or thing with negativity.

for instance: when i got into kpop at first SuJu was embroiled in many controversies because of the one homophobe and the one misogynist and so ive literally never heard a song from them once and ive listened to kpop for like almost 10 years now.

I think the hate and death threats are more relevant.

Part of stanning is thinking your bias is your boyfriend/girlfriend.

The hate though is horrible. someone can come forward and say you are a bully and you are basically cancelled even if it was proven you are innocent.

I think hate where idols can see is the worst. Like under their social media and stuff.

Perving is just as bad depending on circunstances - age of the idol, type of comment, who's engaging with it, irl behavior next to idol, etc.

But hate comments tend to have bigger consequences because of the tendecies of it spiralling into a witch hunt.

Thing is often these perverts feel free to be like that irl (just look at what happened to Nancy for example, or how people used to grab Wonho's body without consent). Meanwhile hateful people only act hateful on the internet, most dont act the way they act irl.

Look how similar pervs and haters are, with how former group turn normal stuff into a sexual thing when it isnt, and how the latter twist context just so they can hate the idol.

So both equally bad, i wont defend either

Neither to be honest.
