Can we please stop glorifying struggles?(Rant)

People go to any lengths to glorify what they love. It's weird, I agree.

FINALLY thank you it is annoying

This topic has been really touched upon and analyzed in the k-quora community, I suggest you all go check it out

Louder for the people in the back

thank you it's just weird and i will never understand this people logic

It's become a thing where if your faves aren't literally facing death at every turn they're 'privileged' and 'don't deserve their success' and 'lazy' literally stfu at least the idols I stan are happy and healthy THAT IS A GOOD THING OK! I don't want them fainting.

when an idol performs while injured or sick and fans call it "professionalism" yikes

That's true

Tbh, this is something that could be observed in everyday life, not only in the kpop realm. Everyone struggles in some way. And the bigger the struggle, the bigger is the satisfaction for the one that succeeds despite all the obstacles that they have encountered on the way. And imo this is something to feel proud of. But yeah, it's freaking annoying when people start playing the "I struggled more, therefore I'm better than you" card. Some individual might have the privilege to struggle less down the road. But it shouldn't be a reason to undermine their achievements.

I agree :)

in my opinion the idea that kpop stans have that success as an idol should be "earned" through struggles is stupid. if someone is talented idgaf if they were a golden spoon with industry connections, their talent justifies their job as a celebrity

Also the classic - My precious babies are worked 18 hours a day, they don't have time to date. It's really sad

They enjoy seeing other people suffer

it's already a competition on it's own. Fans think the harder the struggles, the better it is. Sometimes i'm annoued at how some people seems like to diminish other groups struggle as if their faves are the only ones who struggled

Nahhhhhhh. That narrative helps get my faves over.

I completely agree.

i won't talk about struggles on stage or whatever but struggles to get to where they were should be applauded

groups (which i won't name) which have struggled to get to where they are and succeed should be applauded and that should be the only type of struggle to be applauded

hihi, this was realy one of the weirdest things for me when I got into kpop. Everyone would claim their faves deserve this and that more than anyone else because of their sturggles.. I always wonderd what if the people saying that would do if they had any idea of the struggles all the groups go through, especially the nugu groups that only get to eat shit and never get the chance to shine
