Have you ever been attacked by a fandom? Do you recall the experience?

[knnovation]

why would they do that?

It was all because i didn't post my age in my twitter bio...which seems to come into play with both the kpop fandom and the vkei fandom. I also made "sexual" comments about men twice my age....but this was coming from the same people who were making the same sexual comments about vkei bandomen, even worse comments than mine.

does being attacked by scene kids back in like the mid-to-late 2000s count?

So, back in the late 90s and for most of the 2000s, I used to be 100% fluent in netspeak. No "anyone", "to/too/two", or "later" for me - it was always "ne1", "2", and "l8r/l8er". Anyway, that's how I got attacked by scene kids on a forum for a (now disbanded) boy band (not 1D - this was much earlier and with a way lesser-known group). It started out with simple name-calling for my typing habits, but then it escalated to things like banning me from a Fall Out Boy thread in the forums' music section and demanding I post pics of Pete Wentz's man parts for reentry. All I did was express my excitement for their then-unreleased third album... oh, and to make matters worse? THEY WERE FRIENDS WITH THE FORUMS' FREAKING WEBMISTRESS!

And that, y'all, is why I questioned the toxicity (or lack thereof) of this board.

It was in 7th grade when i was attacked by a bunch of girls who were ONLY ARMYS. So i disagreed with them saying that "BTS isn't the best kpop group. Everyone has opinions." And they glared at me for a really long time. Then two days later a mysterious phone number popped up on my messages. It said "GO ROT IN HELL.", "You pathetic gay girl group stan." "BTS deserves everything." "Look bro. BTS is just the best group hands down. What's a group like Twice gonna do?" And what was worse was that they got ahold of my phone number and kept spamming me with hate comments and BTS stuff. I got so annoyed at this point and blocked each and every single one of them. But after 7th grade was over, 2 of the girls moved to Ohio and the other girl was in a different class without any friends in 8th grade. It just shows some ARMYs are so silly and really wasting there time.

Had quite a few altercations with ARMYs and Blinks on stan twitter over stupid shit, but then again twitter is one toxic platform so I am not surprised in the slightest.

Ooh, I just remembered a more recent one!

Back during the 2018 voting season, MTV (or iHeartRadio? idk some music-related thing lol) was having their annual fan army face-off, and on one side of the bracket during I think the quarterfinals or semifinals you had to choose between BTS or Harry Styles. Well, I voted BTS bc there were other 1D members in the bracket to vote for as well and I wanted to give them some love, too. When I revealed who I voted for on Twitter, in a thread urging Harry's fandom to vote for him, I was like "Is it bad that I picked BTS?" and some NUMBSKULL from Harry's fandom had the GUTS to say back, "you don't stan harry sis [sic]" but luckily I was smart enough to have a comeback: "Okay, but it was a hard freaking decision! How would you feel if two of your faves were put up against each other?!"

And just for the record, I DO stan Mr. Styles, as I have since like 2012!

 

[moonlight]

umm no

 

[itzmeguyz]

Not yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens anytime soon because some people are really delusional...
