Deep down, I want to gatekeep my faves

    One of the groups I'm stanning occasionally blows up on twitter or tiktok and I...kinda hate it? Of course I want them to be successful but at the same time I want the fandom to remain small you know? Like whenever I see comments from non-stans it's like they are being defiled? Because of this whenever they do something I always wish deep down that it wouldn't blow up or go viral. I'm so anxious for their next comeback because I don't want it to blow up too much. I know I sound like an asshole but I can't really control the emotions I feel. It's so frustrating, I can't understand why I feel this way. Anyone else feels this way?

    maybe one of the factors for this irrational feeling is bigger fandom=more toxic

    Understandable. It's nice to have that peace. More popularity means more drama, more haters, and more toxic fans within the fandom.

    I get it. Small is sometimes better. But if it happens and they become popular, try to enjoy it.

    If you're talking about Billie because of the viral fancam, I really wouldn't worry...

    don't worry, having semi viral song on tiktok or twitter will slow down and forgotten in 2 or 3 months, your fave will need a long way to go to have a huge large fandom to be called toxic

    I feel the same way for BTS as well. Too competition for a concert ticket. Hoping they become nugu someday, so I can have a chance of grabbing that ticket :-)
