Just your opinion
What do you think of Kpop being considered a "safe space" by fans?
-
People think kpop is a safe space? Have they met kpop? Or kpop stans?

Hi I'm kpop nice to....
*proceeds to beat you up* with
fanwars, name calling, dating scandals, drug scandals, bullying scandals, etc etc

Kpop is legit a safe space. Even the most extreme trolls are very mild compared to the real world. It's sickening, actually. It's like a unicorn shit fairy dust everywhere.
-
I wouldn't consider it a safe space, more like a toxic space but that's just my viewpoint.
-
Kpop as a safe space is like thinking during an F1 race would be a good easy time to learn to drive lol.

Ain't that the truth, Doctor Bishop Senior Apostle Evangelist Selfmate??! In the eternal words of the westside Don Ice Cube and Funker George Clinton; "Yea Ee Yea. Yea. Ee. Yea."
I think it depends on the community. We don't even entirely have that here in our AKP global village, but we are trying.

nice
appreciate it my friendfrom what I've seen AKP post revamp is a lot better than pre-revamp??? (correct me if I'm wrong) of course there's the occasional flare up and fanwar but generally speaking it's been pretty "safe"

The music and the content, okay.
The community, terrible idea.

More safe, but still not entirely safe for sharing unpopular opinions. I'll will voice a perspective that goes against the grain because I don't have ill intentions, but I don't think that happens often enough especially if there are learning opportunities to try to understanding different perspectives.

true true more safe instead of pretty safe...

I'm glad you have found a space where you feel comfortable and supported. Guilds here are good for that. AKP overall though and kpop stan spaces in general are very toxic unless you tow the line and agree with the prevailing opinion. Even then, you're likely to eventually run into crazy stans who are far too emotionally invested and treat kpop like a battleground as if being a music fan actually matters in the scheme of things. I've seen crazy drama, bullying, lies, threats etc here as well as other kpop spaces that matched the worst I've seen anywhere else.

I mean some people think a pit of venomous anacondas during a monsoon season is a safe space and that’s probably safer than K-Pop fans on Twitter!

I feel like a lot of people left during the revamp. As for the people who stayed, I feel like there's less diversity of opinion now and fewer fandoms really having much representation here, at least in the general chat. Maybe most others are just preferring to stay in the guilds tho or maybe the fandoms really have concentrated down due to others feeling isolated or like they couldn't share honest opinions without being bullied. Whatever it is, the kpop section feels dead a lot of the time (unless you like numbers threads ig).

I think it's fine. Everyone has their thing that helps make their day better and helps them get through certain things. It's definitely something that helps me blow off steam and feel better after a stressful day.

make sense...
the guilds do seem more concentrated I feel that...

I think KPOP is too broad of a term to just say it's a safe space.
-
Honestly, take away the toxicity of it all, and it’s a pretty calming place. Especially the guild I’m in. I feel the safest in there, as I’ve made the best of friends whom understand and listen to me just as I do for them. I also feel safe in the random thoughts thread. That’s like, my little rant space I guess you could say. And I also think it depends on where you spend most of your time? If you’re constantly engaging in drama, fanwars, etc, then it will definitely be a stressful experience for you. But if you’re engaging in actual conversations about kpop music itself, the groups you love, etc, then it’s a splendid time. It really just depends-

I mean, the music. YAAAS! Community? compared to other places(cough cough atlr) this place is heaven.
What is atlr?

What is atlr?
The worst place possible to be a BTS fan. Or BTS themselves.
Lets just say these are some of the comments on there.

Kpoooop

It shouldn’t be.
You can create safe spaces for the fans. Like any community board or your Twitter or your discord or whatever.
but kpop as a whole is not your safe space. It’s true for anything tbh.
If you want a safe space you create it and engage only with the ppl you want. Don’t police others who have no relation to you.

We do keep the sacrificial altar around though, just as a reminder of the past.

and here I thought the KMC guild can take the victims following their altar sacrifices

like twt LOL. kpop can def be a toxic place for stans to interact, but i feel like it can be a safe place in a sense where you feel most naturally comfortable? like listening to your fav's song or even watching their live or something? idk those are just my thoughts

I have my safe space here, so it's all good on my end. 🥰

The only time I've seen it being a safe space is in person. There've been things such meetups and K-pop dance classes/lessons around here. Generally, it's more of a multistan setting, and people of all sorts of different backgrounds come together and are really nice to each other.

Interesting you say that, considering that online it's pretty much the opposite.
