    I honestly never understood the need to fire against the other idol when the dating rumor hurts them both - and the smoking gun is in the third party rumor mill's hands. I want to take the time to be an irritating preacher of fine internet conduct and say a lot of things are not worth saying, not worth thinking, and not worth to even engage in. Promoting divisiveness may distinguish you according to some tenuous interpretation of the fandom you consider yourself a member of but ultimately it causes rifts, potentially with more mature or inclusive members of your own fandom.

    There are various reasons one might post divisive comments but Occam's razor paints a mentally draining picture that one felt that they would garner support from their own fandom or gain recognition as a defender of their idol, however the best defense is to not be in conflict in the first place. Bullets miss you when you are physically absent.

    Well, this is the first I'm hearing about this rumor, but I agree, it's just toxic that you'd drag a complete stranger for a rumor he or she had nothing to do with and in the case that they are dating - who are you to disdain their choice anyway? Both are examples of fans overstepping boundaries.


    This hits cause I just came from superyeah 's thread bout gatekeeping your faves. If I could yeet these types? Hell yea I would.

    Yeah, there's no doubt this is destructive behavior. I've seen cases where fans send hate to idols simply for hanging out with or interacting with their favorites.


    Just to clarify, my thread is more about gatekeeping in the sense of... Wishing for time to stand still so we can appreciate our faves as they are before they find greater success. Let's face it. Once they reach a certain point, they won't operate the same way again. It's inevitable and also understandable. Of course, I'll be happy for them and I'll still support regardless, but there's always a sentimental connection to their humble beginnings from the perspective of a long-term fan.


    We're both sports fans, so we get the concept of bandwagons. It's comparable to that in a sense. You've been with them through the rough patches. With increased success, there's an influx of bandwagon fans, but you know many of them will jump ship when adversity strikes again. Those fans are in it for the vicarious living; they're not true fans.


    I'm all for idols interacting, befriending, or collaborating with each other if that's what they want. I'll always think it's unreasonable and toxic for fans to oppose this in the name of fanwars and competition.
