sigh I'm sorry, this is why I stepped away from social media in the first place, and now its targeting DREAMERS, a place that felt so safe for so long, where people supported each other and their mental health struggles (as IAN is known to suffer it brought us together in a way), always showing support.I couldn't find a better thread so please don't take this the wrong way or misunderstand that this thread is a great space. I am just really frustrated right now and I wasn't sure where else to post this.
For those who don't know, there's been issues in the DREAMERS fandom for years now, ever since we found out what a di ck Scott (Rem) actually is, and how he treated everyone pretty terribly, coming out with a terrible apology only after Dabin (DPR Live) cussed him out at a live show, and now more and more things are coming out, dividing a decent part of the fandom. Its exhausting and part of the reason I left and supporting quietly.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of protecting your idols and as someone who really loves and cherishes Ian I get, I really do, but people are trying to take it into their own hands. Swearing and tweeting at Rem (which was someone they supported whole heartly like the rest of us btw), like it was a personal issue and it affects them. NO it doesn't it affects the team at DPR, the managers, the people who got treated unfairly and didn't get paid, things stolen stuff like that. Show support where you can but people are targeting others and harassing others for supporting Dabin (who did nothing wrong, and is just purusing his own career away from DPR), while people are making statements, 'I am here for Christian (Ian) only, if that upsets you block and unfollow me', and its just to much.
I'm not sure if anyone else sees it the same way I do, but people feel entitled, 'they have the best music taste because they know dpr', or 'i followed dpr before fuck rem started' and its so stu pid. Okay? so? I followed Ian when he had three songs released and had the second round of copies for the MITO album.
It just doesn't feel that way anymore and its frustrating. I don't disagree with what he's done and yeah it sucks, but people are taking and talking about in the wrong way. It is NOT our issue to deal with, let people support Dabin. Yes there will be idiots who support Scott (Rem) but they don't deserve some of the hate they are getting, everyone is blinded by love sometimes.
For a fandom that praises its self on inclusivity and caring for one another it does not seem that way anymore.
