1) Don't be an asshole to others
2) Don't be an asshole to idols
3) If you don't like an idol, don't watch their content just to shit on it
4) Don't believe rumours with no proof
5) "I saw oomf say it" is not proof
6) Don't have double standards for your own faves and others faves
7) You don't decide who is or isn't a fan, even if you think that other fan is toxic
8) use common god damn sense

I know the ppl on here aren't really toxic, just thought I'd write out what I have in mind

They're mad at the avatar concept bcs the members are underage and the avatars can be used to make questionable stuff....
When in fact... the youngest member is 18

Ngl even if they didn't have the avatars, the pervs are gonna find a way. They always find a way lol. Like those fake porn vids with their faces or whatever they like to do. Nothing's gonna stop them. And you're right, 18 isn't underage.

I agree. I'd also add that #7 also pertains to fans who don't know every detail about a group or idol. There really is no specific criteria for stanning a group. On a lot of forums/platforms stan is just used to indicate what groups someone really likes.

Plus I'd say to the toxic fans that have invested little into their groups, that I have actually bought physical releases from SK. That is not to say to be a good fan you must buy their music physically and/or digitally as some people cannot afford to, but rather that buying merch of a certain group should solidify that you really are a fan and some gaps in your knowledge of the group means nothing. For instance, if someone came for @Mr_Boogie and said his devotion for f(x) wasn't true, I would prolly need ocular surgery for the amount of eye rolling I would do at their expense.

edit: also, can we also agree [while it doesn't pertain to online activity] that some of these fans who try to grab idols need industrial sized therapy...
