since the year is ending, let’s get some things straight once and for all~
idols are human beings, you do not own them and therefore you have no right calling them ‘mine’ and actually meaning it.
stop this fanwar shit now or you’re canceled forever.
seeing someone supporting and fawning over a group that you don’t particularly like is not an invitation for you to step in and preach about your faves. let people stan and love whoever they want as long as they’re not being problematic.
let this year be the time where you fix and polish your fandom’s reputation and prove people wrong.
idc who you are, call out the people and the blogs who constantly disrespect other groups’ success while putting their faves on a high pedestal.
success wouldn’t exist without competition, so be a good sport and appreciate it when supporting your favorite groups and artists without bringing others down.
stop with the fucking whitewashing, we’re sick of it and no one’s afraid to call you out with your ghost edits ffs.
I get that this is mostly in good spirit, but please stop writing and commenting ‘any __ here?’ on literally everything. you’re annoying others, so have some respect. this goes for non-kpop videos / posts too.
protect girl groups at all costs but don’t attack people who only know boy groups. educate them instead.
views on youtube mean close to nothing, stop comparing and instead focus on the artistry of the music videos and appreciate that it’s actually available for you to view.
shipping is okay but please don’t go overboard and spam these idols with edits or freak out every time they interact with someone you ship and make them visibly uncomfortable.
don’t ever ever harass idols and demand that they speak English every time they appear on a vlive or go live on instagram.
same goes with asking for other members on a vlive (literally who the fucc do you think you are ¿).
It’s sad that we are fully realizing this after Jonghyun’s death, but mental health issues are something that we need to be aware of and be supportive of idols that are / have been going through a rough time.
remember the stress levels for these guys and gals are pretty bad sometimes, make sure to give them your support whenever you can with some nice and encouraging comments and tell them they’re doing okay 🌹
doesn’t matter who you are a fan of, keep the members of SHINee in your thoughts and send them love bc they truly need all the love and support in the world right now.
show some appreciation to underrated groups.
we’re a community that needs to stick together instead of fighting within it, so……….
last but not least, be a good example to the rest of your fandom(s) and spread love this year ✨
