multistans, do you ever feel conflicted about your faves?

For the first one I'm happy with any group winning not even my faves because they all work just as hard! I sometimes get bummed if a long awaited first win doesn't happen but even then I still feel happy for the other group

For the second my main fandoms don't really do any of that and I just ignore anyone in general who thinks a multi is less of a fan

I'm feeling conflicted right now in the MAMA voting so I decided to not vote

About the fandoms... I'll talk about Allkpop since I'm not active on Twitter, I interact with all my fandoms here and they've always treated me very well despite I'm a multi. I've never felt shaded, If someone once shaded me, then the shoes didn't fit, because I didn't notice lol

Yes i support all of them.

Being a multi is a win-win situation because you feel happy and proud no matter which group ends up on the top.

Tbh I am not someone who really cares about who tops the charts or wins the most awards, I am happy as long as my favorite groups keep on releasing good music that gives me serotonin

i don't care where my faves rank, so i don't give any thought to which ones i should favor

the people who are crazy obsessed with charts and achievements may find it hard to be a multi because not all groups can do amazing all the time.

But most multis while do get happy with achievements ,they don't make it the biggest priority.

I don't participate in voting and streaming most of the times, especially if their is a clash...

I just support and enjoy comebacks its not that hard lol

No, I'm living the best K-Pop life.

I support all of them Sure faves have been shaded by other fans, especially during T-aras bullying scandal days. Supporting T-ara at all during those days....was rough to put it lightly. Shady comments about my fav groups don’t really bother me because I know I like them and that’s all that really matters to me

I think the hardest thing about being a multi is the money aspect. R.I.P my wallet.

Yes, I support all.

I don't consider them as competition to each other, so that isn't a problem. It's better that they lose to each other than to someone else.

Listening is more difficult because I like to loop the single/album. So I have to choose one.

I support all my faves equally and don't care about charts at all

I'd consider myself a multistan, but i do have an obvious favorite

I buy albums for all the groups/soloists I like, but I don't really stream or vote for anyone so I guess it doesn't really matter who I prefer 😅

I would love if my faves had a cb at the same time cause it would mean more interactions + i would had a lot to enjoy.

I do think people look down on multis, i used to too but now idc its just kpawp

I always feel conflicted..

It's so hard to support them all, so I always end up supporting one group more than another then I feel disloyal to the others

I will support all , I don't have problem with either of them being on top I am here for their music

I support Red Velvet, Mamamoo and BTS equally. I buy the albums for these three groups. I support them in the same way when they come back at the same time, sometimes one a bit more than the other because I prefer their comeback.

BTS is in a league of their own and they are all senior artists who have nothing to prove anyways. I don't stream or really care about the charts.

I sometimes see some shades toward my faves from a fandom I belong to but I mostly ignore. No, I never felt like I was rejected because I am a multi.

Bot really, I listen to my faves pretty equally cause they release good music, not for the records.

Obviously I want them to do well, but success won’t change the quality of the music so

Yes to all questions

One group is my main group and the others I support equally. Like I only ever bought physicals from Txt but I buy digitals from all the others. I only streaming for txt when there is a streaming thing going on.

(At least this is how it was so far but NCT proves to be a tough one to keep down. Might need to reorganise now I do things. )

When you talk to your fellow stans, do you ever feel like your other fave is getting shaded? Or that you aren't fully accepted because they view you as having split loyalties?

For this.

I don’t like fan wars. If I’m scrolling through the forum and I see that one of my fellow stan like one of my fav but hates the other one, then I’m not gonna talk with that person about the group they hate.

Split loyalties.

I didn’t noticed not being accepted because I’m too introverted to insert myself to a new group of people. Like I mostly stay in my guild but I do venture out to read update on my other favs and see what people who follow more accounts etc say about them. I do comment sometimes. But I think I’m too introverted to join in all the time.

I support all but I'm a regular fan overall. I don't stress over achievements and I don't do any of these "chores" fans do these days, like streaming for example.

I stan a lot of groups, but I prioritize my ults, so they would get more attention from me if they were coming back with a non-ult group.

If two ults were coming back... I'd try to support them equally.

In regards to fandoms... yeah I do feel that. I have friends who would shit on people from other fandoms... non-bts stans shitting on Armys, certain armys shitting on blinks, teumes getting shitted on by other 4th gen boy group fans, and the same shit happens to engenes and MOAs, etc. Most of the time when they shaded these fandoms (in my experience with my friend groups), they were shading the toxic fans though, so like... I can't be too mad at it... toxic fans suck.

But yeah it can be uncomfortable for these friends of mine to shit on music I might like or say shit like "oh bts shouldn't be allowed to win award shows", or some stupid shit... I usually don't get pressed about it unless they are extremely rude about it. I have to recognize in regards to that obviously people can't like or agree on everything, and that negative opinions are allowed... it's kind of about how you word them. And I rather pick my own battles than get pressed about every little thing.

Still, being in multiple fandoms, I can see hypocrisy when they talk shit, y'know? Like they can say shit, but aoh if you say shit about their groups, there is hell to pay. Like chile.

idk it can be complicated, but the bottom line is, if you're respectful I'm not bothered.

As someone who follow 3 groups in one company I don't have any issue with it plus the three fandoms are pretty harmonious overall. Its also good that their CB will never overlap with each other so I don't have to worry about supporting them.

The only main problem now is which SG should I buy among the 3 groups.

Supporting equally, I feel bad when I accidentally support the one more so I always make it equal overall

Well, I don't think so. I support all of my faves - maybe not in the same way, it depends on the group. Some groups I like for both music and non-music content, but the majority I stan for the music alone. Actually, I'm always looking for new groups/solo artists to follow, the more music, the happier I feel And on the other side I don't vote and I buy only albums I really feel I need my collection (I'm a book collector firstly, so I don't have enough money and space for everything lol)

OOooh, a Jinyoung fan! Love your dp. Welcome to akp :)

Thank you and yeah, my dp is very cute

I try to divide the time I have for kpop/them as best as I can. Sometimes it works, sometimes I fail and I end up supporting in small doses or at all. It's hard to be a multi, but I like it anyway.

I'm primarily a moarmy (BTXT stan). I can split votes for music and award shows. I stream both on a regular basis. My other faves take a backseat to them.

No, I want them all to be successful and good in their own way. I don't think they blocked each other. In fact, I think they are all connected because they all keep kpop active separately. I do not compare them to each other in terms of love. Because they all have a different place in music.

When I was younger I did. During 2nd Gen I’d feel conflicted over who charted better among my favs and who won but now that I’m older I don’t care.

I’m happy for whoever wins and not winning doesn’t take away the accomplishments of my other favs!

I always root for them equally when they comeback(well unless one of them is my ult, you know I am always more sided towards my ult because well......they are my ults)

If it is two ults I always root for them equally no matter what. I love my ults equally and always will.

For my other favs, I also root for them(not as much online) too as they are also my favs.
