Why is there a double standard between criticism about Jimin and LSF singing abilities. (Jimin's career seems unaffected, do you think LSF can comeback as strong?)

  • let's be honest, Jimin can't sing. I still think he's a great idol, but he sounds like a chipmunk. I know he got some hate about his live vocals, but it was nowhere near the level of abuse LSF had to endure. Why is that? Is it gender related? are GG fans more toxic in general?]


    EDIT: I know Jimin gets a lot of hate, but it hasn't dampened his career much, do you expect the same for LSF when they come back?

    Edited once, last by 2PS1 ().

  • ....sir or ma'am where were you in 2012 -2014......... Jimin was SLAUGHTERED before BTS blew up

    Which would tell you it's fandom related.


    If you try to come at any BTS member, Army will come after you.


    So people look for easier targets.

  • Now hold your horses


    Whatever double standard or gender war you tryna create here will never work.


    Not when K-pop stans have made it normal to make fun of and say hateful things about Jimin.


    Jimin is y'all K-pop stans piñata for bashing don't try that shit

    Changed the title of the thread from “Why is there a double standard between criticism about Jimin and LSF singing abilities.” to “Why is there a double standard between criticism about Jimin and LSF singing abilities. (Jimin's career seems unaffected, do you think LSF can comeback as strong?)”.
  • I think you're seeing what you want to see or you haven't paid much attention to Jimin being used as a target in fanwars. You wouldn't notice it as much if you're not part of the fandoms beefing with each other.


    There may also be recency bias, as LE SSERAFIM's Coachella performance and encore stages made the rounds all throughout K-pop circles this year. They were certainly going to get widespread backlash all across the board.


    There's no way to determine which got more hate, but both got some intense, heavy criticism, with Jimin receiving tons of abusive comments as well.

  • I've noticed bad performances tend to hurt the image of female idols a lot more than male idols. Sure, Jimin received hate, but it wasn't to the extent the LSFM girls did/continue to (they literally had to turn off their comments). It hasn't done any real damage to Jimin's brand either

    Jimin stopped coming to twitter as often as he used to. It AFFECTED him. Just as it affects Sakura but you know what?


    The reason why it didn't do damage to his career is ARMY


    The amount of army I see clocking K-pop Stans on the daily for bashing Jimin or BTS honey...it's what they deserve.


    LSFM fans just need to act the part.


    And no one knows if these girls career are over. Did they have their comeback yet?????

    :skull:


    Y'all said their career was over after GARAM was kicked from the group over a bullying scandal!!! and they bounced back even landing a number 1 hit with perfect night!!


    The girls will do fineee, and I'm counting on them doing better than their last comeback.

  • I never said their career was over. I'm sure it affected him, all idols are human. No one deserves incessant hate. "LSFM fans just need to act the part"? I'm sure their fans do their best to defend them. You can't compare a group like LSFM or their fans with BTS and ARMYs. ARMYs can outnumber any fandom/vocal antis that hate on BTS. LSFM probably has less than a quarter of the fans that BTS does. They rely on the general public and casual listeners a lot more than BTS. Their brand will probably be affected more than Jimin's (brand doesn't only equate to streams or sales)

  • first people drag him till now for a more than year old performance. So no, lsfm was not the only one who got dragged heavily. It's just their hate train is recent one.

    Second, his career is not affected because he has ARMY and really passionate ( & annoying) solo stans too. He is a member of biggest boyband, while lsfm is a relatively new group and mostly relies on gp.

  • They received the same amount of hate imo, but in Jimin case it was just a encore and he immediate apologized and stopped the solo activities if I'm remembering right. In LSF case it was some encores and Coachella that I'm sorry, but it was terrible and somehow that turned into a hurt "pride" for Koreans and their attitude was totally different from Jimin, they didn't apologize and actually acted quite arrogant like idk where they gathered up the courage to act like that after their performance... But anyway, what also makes it different in your perspective is bc armys are loyal and fight a lot to keep the hate as few as they can, they are the biggest fandom in the world alongside TS fans so obviously he'll be "protected" more while LSF fans are still small compared to them.

    In the end I also don't think LSF are done. They just need good songs and their career will be ok. They are from a big4, already have great fandom size and are a "new" group. They won't go anywhere specially after seeing how Hybe mediaplays so much. They are "fine" and I said in " bc i know hate got them, but I think things will get better for them, time sometimes do help and heals.

  • Why should LSF apologize to their haters? You don't like their singing or their voices, stop following them and watching their content and writing repeated hate filled tomes endlessly. If you don't like something but can't stay away, it means you are a FAN.


    Right now, Knasties are dragging Eunchae for the shape of her eyebrows.

  • Not this tired nonsense again.


    If you want to hate, just hate, and don't be fake with your "why doesn't this guy that I want to be hated not get as much hate as I want him to get?"

    Especially dumb, since Jimin has gotten a lot of hate, so you can quit with your fake questions.


    I don't know what these newbies try to accomplish with this. Only makes me less likely to help them stream their faves, and yes, I am one of those people who does support a lot of group in addition to BTS, as others here can attest to.
