Unstanning a group because of it’s fandom is valid

when someone says they're going to "unstan" a group, I assume they stop being a fan of that group 🤔

And if you have a problem with a certain group of fans, just avoid them???

It's the internet and block buttons are everywhere.

I can't never understand tbh. All fandom are just the same. Some fandom just look bad than the others because there were a lot of them, so their minority bad apple are louder.

I never got this unstanning because a fandom. If I still love a group and still love their music then I’ll call myself the name they call their fans. Just don’t interact with the fandom if you don’t like it, other fans will never impact my love of a group

You can unstan anyone for any reason it is ur choice

I disagree that unstanning means stop being a fan. I think that unstanning is more like you stop calling yourself and associating with the fandom of the group/soloist. Like if I were to unstan Twice (in another lifetime) I would stop calling myself a ONCE but will continue to listen to the music, engage with the members.

I still believe you can be a casual fan or close to a stan but you just don't associate yourself with the fandom anymore.

Any reason is valid. However, of course, people are free to criticize those reasons.

As for my opinion, if fandom interaction is a key component to your criteria for stanning and being part of the fandom l, then I think it’s a decent reason.

No I get it! You can listen to a singer or group and enjoy their music without being a stan. If you don't feel comfortable with the fandom you have every right to disassociate yourself from them!

I see that more as being a casual fan 👀

I understand what you mean though.

I’d like to say that by unstanning a group I don’t mean to stop supporting or listening to x’s music,I mean to basically stop being part of the community and following x’s every step in their career (not to *that* extreme btw).I’m not going to further explain my opinion since i believe with that being stated you can understand my point.Also I’m general I feel we all have different perspectives about what the word “Stan” means but that is a topic for another day.

This is basically how I am with Star Wars. I still love the property, will watch as much content and try to give every entry a fair shake, but the fandom itself drains me that it's hard for me to interact with fellow fans on it.

I've heard of people doing this and it's alright. They're probably embarrassed by the fandom and don't want to be associated with the toxicity.

I think that every group is going to have bad apples, bigger ones that tend to make an impact on how other fandoms look at them. But I do feel like it's a valid reason to disassociate yourself from a fandom if you feel like you need to, even if it's for the bad apples. People get to decide the point when they call themselves a stan so people should be able to decide when it's time to cut themselves off from the fandom (even if you're still a fan of the music and the members)

I may have misunderstood tho

I see a casual fan as someone who just listens to the music and doesn't care about the group necessarily

Why does everyone have their own definition for every term
