I've had enough.
Ever since ICY I've seen MULTIPLE threads about how ITZY are "over", how they're "flops", how "no one is checking for them", etc, etc.
And now that Aespa are smashing(which is well deserved, good for them), some stans are trying to pit them against each other to further promote their "ITZY are nugu flops11!111!1" agenda.
Enough is enough!
If they were really flops they wouldn't even be on your mouths. RENT-FREE.
EVERY damn day I see at least one "ITZY are over" thread or some thread shading ITZY. Leave them the fuck alone.
Dalla Dalla was huge, it's natural that they weren't going to top that and that's okay.
Very weird how so many Kpoppies hyped them in 2019 only to turn their back 2 years later. Especially with the way AKP hyped them up during their debut, as "the new 4th gen leaders" "the top 4th gen girl group", etc, etc, only to completely turn their back once they were "flopping". A bunch of LOSER success stans.
And this is ignoring ITZY's massive growth internationally, they're literally about to score a t10 album on BB200.
Let's not forget about the hundreds of alts made specifically to bash ITZY. And the anons. If you hate them so much, why don't you come out and say it on your main?
And once MIDZYs even try reasonably fighting back suddenly it's "MIDZYs are so brave, their faves are flops, they're so toxic, blah, blah, blah"
Like do you think we're just going to SIT there and let these harmless girls get bashed and attacked for....nothing? That's not how it works sadly.
I will admit that there are some bad apples in the fandom. Just like...most other fandoms. Doesn't justify the hate ITZY get though, some of you need to separate the person from the fandom.
LOCO is a good song. A great one. I hated it at first(and even considered unstanning dvbkjbdvjdb) but it grew on me ALOT. The performances are great too and I truly haven't seen a GG so good at choreo since GFRIEND. ITZY deserves more appreciation than what they get on here.
And the thing is they aren't even remotely problematic so all of the hate is just a bunch of horsewack.
Rant over and don't forget to stream LOCO to help them be less of a flop.
