You ain’t better then others for stanning a Group more successful, talented whatever then their faves...

Honestly kpop fans are nothing compared to western artists fans

Some western artists are open about their feuds or animosity with other artists, so it adds to the fanwars

Do we have any kpop group openly disliking another?

Except Rappers dissing each other? No, well at least I haven’t seen it yet. But yeah, if I see western fans fighting it’s most often because their faves are not in good terms either.

Well said. Also as someone said on another thread, if you are supporting some 'underdogs' it also doesn't make you better in any way. You should like whoever you want to. Don't need to identify yourself through people you support.

I would like to also add that a lot of times I see fandoms are mostly considered as unity as if they would all think alike, which is weird, why judge someone based on someone else you encountered that liked/respected/supported the same artists. Also fandom gives a lot of people sense of belonging with a group (Collective Identity) and gives them sense of stability and identity (that maybe they don't find in their personal life) but through artists achievements they feel validated and powerful.

I personally feel like i'm individual with my own thoughts and people that like the same groups/artists as me, may not have anything else similar with me. I don't identify myself through some fandom or through people i like/support...

Edit: don't misunderstand, it's nothing wrong to find some belongingness and acceptance with group of people that think similar to you, just don't forget you are your own person!

Great addition to my Thread.

Tbh when I joined the Kpop community I fell into this trap too but got out of it very quickly. I do understand why many don’t wanna be part of any fandom.
