Okay so this is a bit generalising and for some of these I can see some of the perspectives from where people are coming from, so I won’t entirely deny it. But these are some things that when kpop stans say them i just think y i k e s.
1. “If you don’t stan [group/idol] do not use them as your pfp”.
The argument is that idols are not for aesthetic purposes, which in some ways I can agree. However, if x person really likes that specific photo, and they want to use it to enhance their profile then it’s literally not hurting ANYONE. If it’s really that big of a deal, use idols you at least know the names of. Otherwise go for it, have whatever you want as your pfp. It’s no one’s business
2. “I want [group/idol] to leave [company]”.
Look. The kpop industry is awful. I don’t believe honestly there is a single good company. However, most idols have a fairly straightforward and tolerable time as an idol under their company. !! some idols are being seriously mistreated and I agree they deserve better !! But your idol is not being mistreated just because someone had less lyric time, or because there wasn’t English subs put on the video.
3. “I do not believe [rumour]! There is no way [idol] would do that!”.
I was getting into AOA when the infamous scandal broke out. I was devastated that people I loved and wanted to stan turned out to have been bystanders/initiators to such a horrible thing. It is not nice to think idols you admire could be doing such disturbing or horrible things, but at the same time you DO NOT KNOW these idols in reality, and a lot of what they do is for show. You do not know how they acted back when they were 13, so stop acting as if there is 0 possibility once upon a time they could’ve been not a nice person. The only way you know how they act/ed is if you’ve actually met them in person.
So that was my rant, what are you opinions and what makes you roll your eyes when stans say it
