Why do akp users get personally offended over any opinions?

I'm a damaged individual

idk man many people here seem to subscribe to the ideology of "positive opinion or no opinion"

maybe a lot of anxiety and insecurity and fear of judgment going on ( dont wanna point finger to specific people )

Because k-pop is all about the ✨parasocial interaction✨

But some people really do make threads and insert underlying self brag tho

Because the last statement is false, everyone's opinion here is dependant on what their faves do and don't. And those pretending it's not simply lack self-awareness (or are hypocritical).

I mean I barely make threads that deviates from SHINee are kings of the universe and people have no problem with it.

They seem more pissed at general opinions rather than just outright brags

Hmm I think it depends if it’s a opinion or something disguised as an opinion but in reality it’s just someone trying to make a mess Appreciation threads hardly ever end up in fights

Because people are insecure and when they meet an opinion different than theirs, they start to point fingers, twist your words and start saying nonsense. Here people are either too sensitive or too insensitive and there's no in between. Don't wonder why people run off to anons, it's toxic in there but at least y'all can't go "BUT YOUR FAVES... " since nobody knows each other's fave in there

Lack of real life interactions and the new generation is made of snowflakes

They feel like you are attacking something they like, which in turn feels like an attack on their own judgement since they like said thing. The immature response is to sling mud back. Soothes the bruised ego.

Sounds like a you problem tbh

One thing i've noticed about Kpop fans is that they get so worked up about bringing their faves into another conversation. Is this a Kpop fan thing or just a younger generation thing?

Like it's human nature to draw parallels, to compare and contrast, to mention previous examples, that's what we human beings do with our giant brains.

I remember Kepler stans were arguing about fatshaming by members within the group, whether it's a problem or whether the members were just joking around the way friends do. Someone happened to mention an Enhypen member being teased by other members. Then all of a sudden you had a legion of Enhypen fans barging into the argument that wasnt even about them demanding that the Kepler fans keep Enhypen "out of their mouths", just because someone had mentioned the Enhypen controversy in passing. I was like CHILL the argument is literally between Kepler fans, they dont even care about your faves.

is it always though?

There are things I can appreciate that I know SHINee will never do

for example I think public announcement of charity work is a good thing bc it inspires your fans and others do the same. Taemin is absolutely agaisnt this idea and even had a huge fight with SM when they did a tweet on his charity work and they ended up taking it down.

But even if that's an opinion that goes against the one of your faves, thinking that way doesn't negates anything for them if you see what I mean? For instance when you gave the example of digital sales more important than album sales, I was thinking it would honestly surprised me if someone whose faves' biggest strengh is album sales would make such a thread.

because some people (not globalizing) think their opinion is the ultimate truth and if you don't agree with what they think they take it to their hearts when it's just someone's thoughts

Quote from Lulu_Key

ok but should it offend me if SHINee's physical sales are better than their digital? I dont think so

Just bc someone thinks digital are more important its not a direct attack on any group that sells better in physical department

Of course not everyone will react the same way. What I wanted to highlight is that imo those who make hot takes and pretend them having this opinion has no link with who they stan are generally not sincere.

I think some people just jump to assuming everything is shady and mean-spirited, even when it's not. Or hell, maybe the OP does mean for it to be an underhanded thing, but that doesn't mean the words they chose support that.

Like there's a difference between, "FT Island is the worst band in the history of kpop" (a direct attack on my faves) and "Why don't more entertainment companies try bands?" (a conversation starter)

Then like half the board is just people going "oooh, so shady" or "name names!!" instead of engaging with the conversation starter.

I’m gonna hate YG and TBL than y’all can ever make me hate y’all faceless brats.

Also, some of y’all need to be more offended more often. Bunch o pussies.

I think it depends on the subject and also the age of the fandom and how long the user\fandom has been on akp (to understand how it and users work).

I remember being quite sensitive at the beginning on the forum but now I mostly don't care or don't act as touchy as before

this is why ive stopped interacting with certain people on this forum

I'm confused None of this makes any grammatical sense, does someone have an easier to read version?
