Being a kpop stan does NOT mean… (1 Viewer)

…that it is okay to discourage or hate on groups simply because you don’t like them (unless they’ve done something illegal). Don’t like a group? Simply ignore them. Don’t waste your time judging people who like said group or leaving nasty comments under their videos/posts about said group. Opinions are fine, just don’t be an asshole 😀

I agree

I agree. But we should also be able to call out groups/idols who have done problematic/offensive things in a civilized manner.

Everything said right here, totality agreeable

Yes true but going to the point of saying (just as an example) “Giselle is a shitty vocalist because she said the n-word” umm no. Call out the problematic action, most definitely, just don’t insult her and correlate the two. I should’ve clarified problematic along with the part where I said illegal actions

I said the same thing in another thread so I agree with you 2000%.

I agree.

I agree and I wish more people understood this. It's sad when Idols see some of those comments and it negatively affects them. I know this is something Yeri talked about when she got hate for her facial expressions, ITZY mentioned seeing those comments about SNEAKERS, and now it seems like NMIXX is also seeing them :/

It’s truly unfortunate that this happens because it really does affect the mental health of the idols. Personally I love NMIXX’s music and Sneakers so I’d praise it but even so if someone didn’t like them they could simply move on instead of being mean

Exactly. It's okay to dislike their songs, everyone has their own taste. But I've seen some terrible things being said about them personally on social media, and I know they see it too.

Like I’ve seen that X idol doesn’t deserve to be in a group because they made a minor mistake in a performance or they don’t like the way they look.

Yup and no one takes those comments seriously until something bad happens. Idols have to deal with a lot of pressure and expectations, I just hope they are doing okay...

And people don’t realize how often idols see these comments and how they take them to heart
