well i could understand the age part kinda cus there are mostly minors and people under 18 on the forums but people shouldnt discriminate you for what genre of pop you like its almost as bad to me as people saying kpop is trash because of the korean aspect of it
and especially if its just specific groups because not everyone stans the same groups
but maybe they dont talk to you because they have other plans or just dont check their pms idk
but if they dont talk to you its their problem their missing out on conversations with the most epic forum mom
