K-Pop Stans' Bad Reputation: Exaggeration or Truth?

Quote from moonlightelle

Unfortunately it's true. I've been in many fandoms, social media and forums for more than a decade but I can definitely say that kpop stans are the most toxic ones I've ever interacted with.

you clearly have never been to atlr lol.

ahhh that makes more sense. maybe i also partially misread the title lol

but honestly western and sports fans are just as bad so. i do think kpop stans can be pretty bad tho

don't forget tv show fans

a tv show fandom literally led this girl into suicide because they didn't like her artwork

Some of the time it's true. But the majority of kpop stans aren't that bad, it's just that the bad ones are the most noticeable like commenting 'maybe if you had stanned ___' or something silly like that on a sad post... those people are bad bad bad

wait what the heck? He actually murdered people? How the heck is he not still in jail?

It happened late at night, where he was drunk driving and hit pedestrians. He blamed it on his driver though all the evidence shows it's him. It happened in 2002 and the case is still going on in court. I doubt he's ever gonna be guilty at this point.

Partial truth. One of the large groups I stan has akgaes of one certain member who are mindblowing but most of the fandom is alright.

Ehh it’s nothing that’s not common in other fandoms or the rest of the internet. I suppose if someone’s never been in fandoms kpop would scare them. But yeah this is how fandoms in general operate.

This.

Other fandoms are about as batshit or sometimes even more so.

And craziest is still the physical violence of football fans etc.

The thruth kpop stans terrify me

some kpop fans are toxic

just as some fans of every hobby or activity can be toxic..

just because it's a few bad apples shouldn't taint the "good ones"

a person should be judged by his or her actions alone and not the actions and deeds of the group they belong to

yeah
