You know, I planned on making a thread to mock people who dislike a group just because of their fans but...

As of today, I'm not so sure any more.

I mean, I personally don't let it affect me. Despite the abhorrent, vitriolic and disgusting daily rhetoric from a certain fandom, I will still listen to BTS, let alone reach the point of hating them, but after these last 6 months, I don't know if I would blame anyone if it did negatively impact their ability to listen to or enjoy a group.

I'm undecided now, like I said. It's probably because this year is the most time I've ever spent on K-Pop stan twitter and the K-Pop subreddits. Which is actually why I still lean towards it being a you problem at the end of the day, since engaging with other K-Pop fans in ultimately a choice.

Still, there are days where the upper limits of my patience are tested.

I wasn't going to poll this but why not.

Quote from thebadguy

Its ok to cancel bts le sserafim and illit

You weighed in faster than I expected and targeted the 3 fandoms I expected too.

One fandom is public enemy #1 to me. I'm trying really hard to be patient with the other two.

Quote from stxr

i clicked on no, but im now going to change my mind

Even with your signature, I have no idea who you actually stan.

You're all just little demons on my storyline at this point

Quote from stxr

bts is ur enemy and lessera and illit is close- thing is ive never had a bad intereaction with a gllit yet

No K-Pop group is my enemy. I will invoke the "Touch Grass" clause on myself if I had some kind of personal vendetta against a K-Pop group.

A huge chunk of a certain fandom however? It's almost reaching on sight levels at this point.

If not for the few respectable AKP users here, I would have gone scorched earth months ago

Quote from stxr

i meant fandom- who do u respect in here

I respect anyone who gives respect back. There are a plethora of users and a huge chunk of certain fandoms that don't, but I won't (or can't for individual users) name them.

Quote from SooYoung

Well i used to be a really big fan of kpop in the past listening to nugu kpop group (sunny days, etc ..) as much as popular group

I was a sone/blackjack and i used to find this stupid when sones were saying they hate 2ne1 cuz of blackjacks and vice versa

I listened to BTS when they debuted and was a casual listener until Dope and then FIRE era came out and everything which follow it

And i finally understood blackjacks who didn't want to listen to snsd cuz of sone etc...

I'm aiming for front row seats at a stop in aespa's tour, since they're literally coming to my city.

Despite our differences, I'm still willing to spend that kind of money on them, and they're actually my second most listened to group this year.

Kind of like how people would maybe be shocked to see IVE was my #2 in 2023.

A fandom has to work really, really hard to make me start to despise them so much that the emotions trickle over to their group.

Quote from patrik-k

Not really, but it can be at bit annoying with people that constantly need do bring up that "their" group have acchieved this and this and because of that is much better than everyone else.

NewJeans will be remembered as a more legendary group than Twice.

Comments like that?

(It's true though)

Quote from SooYoung

More than despise a group

It's more like when so many people are pushing something down your throat even if you are not interested

And how you can't enjoy something without these people pushing down this thing anytime and everywhere

It honestly makes me run away from this

It's the reason why i still didn't watch squid game and why i have no interest in watching it

I'm part of these people that the most you push something to their face to like it

The more i lost interest in this thing

You do this with aespa all the time, brother.

I'm not even judging you, because I promote NewJeans every month, but still.

If it's the current gen girl groups, we all know who promoted and flaunts the achievements of each group the most.

Quote from ellenote

nah I don't really care, even when I hated army and had beef with them every Tuesday I still listened to BTS same with flop onces.

I had beef with Blinks circa 2017, but the summer of that year was so satisfying that I mostly let it go.

Quote from LilacGirl

I accidentally voted yes

No. I am in kpop for music so if i like the music idc. I can separate artist/groups from toxic fandoms and their companies.

I can dislike/judge the fandoms independently however, its more fun that way

I thought I set it so votes could be changed

Quote from Kitty_Saurus

No. If I like a song by an artist, I'll enjoy it.

I might have to stop listening to my fave if that was the case especially with how angry I was with some ARMY.

You're one of the good ones and a reason I have taken to venting on Reddit instead of here.

Quote from Rednas

NewJeans for me. I like their music,but I hate their toxic fandom.

Nugu?

I'm the most toxic here ( thebadguy doesn't count) and I'm not toxic at all

Otherwise, Bunnies have historically minded their own business until the literal existence of the group came under threat.

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

And then there was one fandom that irritated me so bad that I rooted for downfall and was quite pleased when it happened multiple times over the years

Nugu?
