the skz hate reminds me of BTS hate from fandoms that started in 2016

I am pretty certain SKZ will achieve greater and bigger things.

yes Stray Kids are always getting bigger and bigger no matter what losers say

also I hope you didn't word your post this ambiguously because you're actually a troll

I admit that I used to talk shit about BTS, but I don't do that anymore.

When the whole kpop was against bts? This hate is nothing compared to that one. Good luck tho

y'all are so dense

bts got multiple death threats, got actual court orders for false accusations, organised hate projects by other fandoms, got n*z's after them (hyped on by some vile stans),.. getting bts' level of 2016-2018 hate isn't something you should compare with your faves'.

don't water it down to some quirky 'some fandoms made mean tweets' when it was probably traumatising.

i know this sucks, but every kpop group goes through a lot of hate when they grow big, no need to dramatise skz's situation.

This is kpop, ofc every group gets hate when they start getting popular

not similar at all

indeed, the hate bts got is very different and for very different reasons (skz gets hate for similar reasons as other groups)

h a ha! Who are you? Let's fight 💪 ( joke)

And skz's hate and suffering are nothing more than a pinch of salt compared to BTS 's.

Just don’t. I don’t even wish for any group to go through what BTS went through and I hope you don’t wish that for your faves either.

4 gens fans esp stays and atinys love to associate BTS with their faves when their faves didn’t go through half of what BTS went through. Create your own success story instead of camel riding BTS.

It is actually 2015 with death threats and more. BTS had it worst

This is obviously a set-up by a non fan. Please stop dragging the groups. They’re innocent.

Idk what BTS had gone through but hate is hate and we should not take it lightly cz it damages an idol's mental health and self confidence so let's not downplay or glorify it cz both way it's sick.

no one is downplaying anything here, but don't act stupid

some bored nobodies on (international) twt being petty online is NOT anywhere near getting court orders or having nazi's send death threats, which are only a very few examples. This isn't an compitition either, kpoppies just need a reminder to stop rewriting history. you don't WANT the hate bts went through bc i would genuinely feel horrible for skz if they did.

I know many glorify the struggles bts went through because they ended at the top & it's a "feel good" story trope, but if you were actually there in 2016, 2017, 2018.. being actually scared for bts' life bc bighit CANCELLED concerts and show appearances in japan due to death threats, that shit was very serious. i have nothing against skz & they don't deserve the hate they are getting, but it's actually insulting if you think their situations are IN ANY WAY comparable.

i read your comment perfectly, no need for your passive aggresiveness.

if you think people not liking the comparison of petty tweets with death threats is downplaying/glorifying hate, idk what to tell you.

love how I wrote that in the very first comment on purpose because I knew this would happen and you guys still decided this thread is worth the circlejerk

I dislike these comparisons. BTS' trajectory is completely different from that of 4th gen groups. They've had to break a lot of barriers that won't touched before. Same thing with the fandom, ARMY. These comparisons make me roll my eyes because some of the same people saying stuff like this hated on BTS in the past and/or was on the hate train for ARMY too. But now their fave groups are getting hate so they want a BTS success story for them.

As an ARMY who worried about a scandalous article ruining BTS' comeback like it was planned each time, who had to bite my tongue when people made clickbait threads about BTS being dead for laughs because when I talk about the hate the fandom gets I'm told that we are merely playing the victim. I've seen ARMYs get bullied on here. I've seen fandoms hype every other fandom camping underneath various group music videos on youtube with positive messages but when an ARMY does the same thing they get told off for doing it. Every other group had fans calling them legends and kings but the minute you did that with BTS it sparked a whole discussion about how they're not these things. The DOUBLE STANDARD was so apparent. And now it's funny because all groups are riding the wave of BTS' current global popularity but I've had to witness users laugh at ARMY projects for BTS. I will never forget the letter an army fanbase wrote about the EFFORT they are putting in to getting bts a few spins on radio in the US. The same letter that was laughed at, that led to ARMYs being called BEGGARS or fueled bashes about the fandom bribing people.

I remember a post about fandom trauma made by an ARMY that was not taken seriously because it was made by an ARMY. I'm still bitter. Make fun of me all you want about it. You don't forget this stuff especially if you were part of it. So it annoys me to no end that users would diminish and make light of it.
