im about to write a long ass paragraph like everyone else
Blackpink - officially loona was my first group but blackpink was the first kpop group i actually listened to (besides blood sweat and tears by bts) but honestly the fandom.. like i never really paid attention to problematic things they did which i probably should've and i also don't wanna sound hypocritical because im fully aware that the groups i like have also done similar things, but the fandom is honestly really toxic and big overall, like i like twice but im not completely involved in the fandom because of how big it is. i honestly like smaller fandoms because theres a lot more familiarality - if that makes any sense. but music also isnt the greatest now, like boombayah was amazing, playing with fire, stay and all their "older" tracks were good. the album was alright too and i still love jisoo but idk i drifted apart from them.
Mamamoo - ..starting out i think we all know why, the whole group did blackface and honestly i wish they didnt because i really liked their music. they were also one of the first groups i stanned, i loved solar and still do but the whole blackface thing threw me off honestly. i feel like this could be controversial to talk about but thats my reason.
referring to smaller fandoms, i love to support my smaller kpop/krock/k r&b artists, if you cant tell youra is my fav ;D (if shes considered small anywho, i still love her)
