kids online these days are so funny like they’ll willingly join fandoms for things they like and then act like their interests making them feel human emotions is cringe or even morally wrong. like obviously you feel SOMETHING or you wouldn’t be here. it’s ok if a kpop group or a tv show or a book makes you earnestly happy. it’s ok if something bad happening to someone you stan makes you sad. i promise.

The thing is, a lot of idol singers specifically are personas. They're characters played by that human, just like an actor. And odds are, you don't know the performer, you only know their performance. Equating the performed role with the performer is potentially parasocial, although like all things, context matters.

they’re human beings and calling them their names is not a big deal, let’s not overthink it lol
