Do u think a fandom can cause hatred for an artist/group where u put them down or is it an excuse?
Do u think a fandom can lead to someone disliking an artist/group? Or is it an excuse to justify their dislike?

i dislike lots of fans of my bias group, but it doesn't mean i'll unstan them.
usually, kpop is more enjoyable when you just stay away from fandoms.
-
It can, imo. especially in K-POP
-
If someone can't separate artist from fandom, It's a big problem.
You know what? They ain't here for music.
Imagine me disliking artist because of the fandom's stupidity, I would never be able to enjoy any artist lol
It's crazy that people like one fandom/artist but hate other artist due to their fandom. Hypocrites.
-
yes, sometimes. For example i met a lot of mean ARMYs and i didnt like BTS, but then i listened to them and starting to like them. So i think sometimes it could be the fandom
Have u ever left mean commenta about bts because u were pissed off at armys?

Agree about second part. But I was talking about a group u aren't into. Have u taken dislike to any of them because of fandom?
-
I don't think it's an excuse. That person probably can't disassociate the fandom from an artist. And people need to stop associating them both as the same thing.
-
-
More or less. It can ruin the fandom experience and make you not want to associate with them. But you can still listen to and like the artist without actively being part of the fandom.

For me personally, not to the point of disliking the group but more like distancing myself from the group. Fandom can affect your experience and perception regarding a group since it's like a community on it's own, even if it's only some portion of the whole fandom.
-
Nope they don't and they shouldn't.
If they do, it's just showing that you can't think on your own. You can be easily brainwashed.
In this internet era (where you encounter negativity more often than not), these signs are worrysome.
Btw yes I think many do use this as an excuse to hide their real reason of dislike.

U have taken dislike to some group because of fandom?
i didnt want to say something mean to BTS since im not that type of person say mean things to an artist bc i hate their fandom
That's good that u didn't attack the group.

Agree on this.

No, I don't think so. Because every group tends to get bash by anyone whether it is by certain fandom or any fandom combined as a whole, but that doesn't make us dislike our faves.
It's about other artists who aren't your faves.

I kind of avoided bp's songs when i was getting into kpop. Not exactly dislike but i had a bad impression of them.
-
I disliked a group bcoz of their fandom

i Stan your pfp wonyoung
What's your dp?

Was it justified according to u?

For me, it's just the same whether they are my faves or not. Everyone has their toxic fans in each fandom, and if I take the example, Armies & EXO-L, I still enjoy listening to both of the group music.

Not morally but at that point, I started to dislike them so I couldn't help it. I really like iKON now though so things changed later.

It happens a lot and just shows these people are immature. It's perfectly fine staying away from whatever group you want but hating on them because of their fandom is so dumb, especially cause most times fandoms are ok except for a few bad apples, even the big ones
-

-
Ikon has a fandom? :-D
???
-
???
Looking at their album sales I wouldn't have thought they have a big enough fandom.lol
-
Yes.
You develop subconscious negative feelings related to them once you have enough negative experiences with the fans. Its natural.
I guess it maybe will not stop you from stanning, but it can definitely push you from neutral or slight dislike to more dislike.
-

I never dislike a group, but sometimes I reluctant to listen to their songs because their fandoms are really rude.
Well, most of the time I always give a listen, it's not the artists fault for having terrible fans. Good music isn't related to their fans anyway
But some people need to be emotionally related to listen certain songs outside their favorite artists. So I also can't judge that if people refuse to listen the songs because of how the fans act. Music also can influence people, so people might wonder how BAD is their music to create toxic fans?

This is an interesting take.

I dislike toxic fan behaviour, full-stop. This is present in every fandom in the world. If I wasn’t able to separate it, I would end up liking nothing...
I’m sure there are plenty of people who let the negative feelings spill over, if they constantly get into arguments with people from another fandom, for example... but it’s well worth remembering that it’s nothing to do with the people they’re actually a fan of. The easiest way to stop those negative feelings encroaching is by not engaging with toxic fans/people.
-
Yes it can, and no it isnt, anyone who does so simply lacks the maturity needed to look at things clearly. For example, since I stopped being an exol I have had numerous awful experiences with them and solos that culminated in switching my og tumblr account due to harrasment. Do I turn off every exo song that comes up on my spotify? No, becuase im not a child.
Most of those who do use fandom as an excuse are using it as a shield for their jealousy and hatred that was always there, the fandom just gave them a bs front to hide behind online.

I dislike everyone.
-
not for me
because I'd hate quite a lot of kpop groups
-
yes
if i have negative interaction or impression of a fandom, then I don't check out the group at all and put the group on ignore. but i never go so far as dislike. that just take too much effort.
