It's no secret that we're seen as toxic, clingy, and obsessive. Don't blame them, to be honest. I thought the same before getting into it.

so you are saying that it is just a first impression , well to be fair , some of the fans are like that

Naturally, people are to pick out the negatives rather than the positives. As the negative fans are more positive, yes, I believe it's the more significant impression.

There are a lot of really positive fans who identify both the good and the bad sides, and work to stop it. Supporting idols when they're dating, and loving idols regardless of a dark past or any flaws. The KPOP community is also in a way very connected, because as KPOP is something that is typically looked down on in modern society, having people with you experiencing the same things you do really helps. Many artists also create very deep and emotional songs (for example, BTS) that encourage their fans through their hardships, and when the fans return the love and support for not only the idols, but other fans, it creates a very welcoming atmosphere.

so true tho, the most toxic people i know are kpop stans

i kinda agree with you , however the newest fans are the most toxic , and there are others who watch/listen to K-pop just to fulfill their void in a bad way

 

[Soleski]

I don't think I can deny that kpop fans are toxic. Because most of them are. Kpop attracts toxic individuals for some reasons (now that is another question why exactly). They are making disgusting comments on social medias and this is the first imperssion an outsider sees. I am not saying "outsiders' are better though. People can be disgusting be a kpop fan or not.

You never met gamers and soccers fans then.

Strongly agree , mentally supporting someone through out hardships is a huge deal
I think it is looked down on because there is a large amount of fans who denounce themselves and often regarding korean culture as superior to all other cultures same could be told about weeaboos ... soooo
it is just that the fans gotta accept criticism sometimes , and instead of acting offensively the should maintain their cool .
but there are flaws to everything , the ones who criticize Kpop sometimes do it intentionally just to piss of fans

but as a last note , let us appreciate their music.

The criticism is a really big one for me as well. If you don't like Boy With Luv, it doesn't make you an anti. If you're not a BLINK, it doesn't make you a misogynist.

from my understanding i think because they praise idols so much to the point of a "god" which may seem a bit unusual and weird

 

[yminsane]

thank god i only use twitter for sports, i have only seen a handful of kpop tweets and they make me wanna

thank god i don't use twitter at all hahahahahahahaha

"misogynist" wow , that's a bit to much , i mean why would you hate someone you've never interacted with nor seen

I've seen that one a lot. If you're a BG stan, you hate women, apparently.

Can't forget the oversexualization of idols.

may you explain it more please

Idols in the industry are constantly oversexualized. Minors as well. For example, the CF Tzuyu did when she was 16 was far too mature for her age. If an idol drinks water, fans are instantly thirsting over said person. Along with them, people treat idols as sex objects, constantly creating sexual fanfictions and making very vulgar remarks about them.
