What are some cringe things that kpop stans do? (1 Viewer)

[athenaaa]

1. Gatekeep their faves. Anyone can stan them if they want
2. Babying idols
3. Over sexualizing idols
4. Determining for others what it means to stan a group: thats up to the individual person
5. Tearing down other groups to boost their faves

 

[Myth]

ah just the general hypocritical shit. Criticizing other idols over shit when their faves have done the same shit.

 

[BlingyBlinger]

Collecting every single photocard ever made of their faves
I would never do that
Never...


But for real, this is usually seen with middle schoolers but using things like oppa and unnie in casual convo

 

[eclipsoul]

making accounts dedicated to idols' body parts like their teeth and ears. what the fuck is that 😭😭

 

[tai]

“___ is 4th gen leaders”

“____ 4th gen it girl/it boy”

“___ paved the way”

stfu

Very much agree with your 4th point like damn bro. I can't watch every content ever of my ults because I just am that busy. But teenage fans will never understand unfortunately

Umm we have full time jobs that tbh take precedence

 

[princesita]

when they're like "i don't hate ____ idol BUT" then they say the most atrocious things about an idol. or when they're like "i don't need to like every idol like but i don't need to like everyone i meet irl" like, u also don't need to talk shit about ppl online, ppl u don't even know idol or not.

Yep, it's not a competition and it's okay if you bias group doesn't have many achievements, awards, or sales. As long as they make good music who cares?

It is, I think its mainly young teens who don't have any life experience doing that. If they are full grown adults in their 20s and 30s doing that mess then that's a choice.

sometimes I feel like people blame all those things on teens, so they don't have to accept how crazy other people are.. and keep their own sanity that way

If you're an adult doing that kind of thing you're just pathetic, but if you're a teenager your brain is still developing so you do dumb things sometimes so its all chill.

I'm positive a surprisingly high percentage of those people are adults too

Oh I know, but I don't focus on them because they are likely to be the minority and if any adult genuinely cares about that they have too much free time.
