Letâs just say this fandom is toxic in a sense that many take a lot of the content creators for granted + care so much about followers and notes that it makes a lot of people uncomfortable even calling ourselves a STAY.Â
The fandom is fun when you have people who care about Stray Kids as much as you do and yell about them DESPITE the number of followers you have; but nowadays, this fandom feels like a big competition on who can gif the quickest or who can write the best clout-chasing post about an underappreciated members or just posting a personal text post and tagging it as Stray Kids to get the notes. Itâs annoying and unhealthy.Â
You reached 1k followers? Great! Thatâs amazingâa thousand people like the content you post. But it does not give you the right to think youâre better than anyone else in this fandom. Weâre all here to love and support Stray Kids and youâre ruining it for everyone else. And even worse? Youâre ruining it for the boys you claim to love yourself. Youâre giving STAYs a bad name and then bandwagon hate might start and Stray Kids would have to work harder to achieve their ambitions because people will try to put them down because of us. Donât even try to deny that fandoms are a big factor as to why people stay away from liking something.Â
While Iâm at it, people will like you more if you support their content. Reblog and thereâs a higher chance someone will click on your blog and check you out if youâre that thirsty for followers. But donât go around sending anon hate, the lowest thing you can do on this hellsite, because youâre jealous. If you donât like the person, BLOCK AND REPORT. ITâS NOT THAT HARD.Â
Stop spreading hate and negativity because no one likes it. This fandom always has drama up itâs sleeve and some people blow it out of proportion but Iâve kind of had it with this bullshit.Â
Thereâs no such thing as a âbig blogâ and if you seriously want power that much, create content people like and maybe youâll get it.
Stop tagging every one of your personal text posts as âstray kidsâ in hopes that someone will see your blog â this is clout chasing, not wasting hours on something as useless as creating gifs thatâs tumblr exclusive
STOP MAKING OLDER FANS FEEL BAD; not all biases are romantic attractions and if youâre seriously attacking them because they bias someone younger than them, youâre delusional. People can bias whoever they want as long as theyâre not seuxalizing a minor. Plus, older fans are the ones who can buy albums anyway, which means physical, monetary support, so leave them alone.Â
Thereâs no such thing as a big blog. Stop caring about notes and followers so much.
Actually reblog content? You wonât get any content if the majority of content creators arenât getting the response they need for motivation.Â
Make your own contentâdonât take others. And if you do, ASK FOR PERMISSION FIRST OR WORSE COMES TO WORSE, properly credit them. Properly crediting is better than just posting without credit, but just donât, take, other peopleâs works. Â
Stop caring about followers.Â
Streaming and voting is nice yes, but youâre not a bad fan if you donât do it? People just donât have the patience to do that kind of thing, can you blame them? Doesnât make them any less of a fan.Â
Youâre allowed to have unpopular opinions. Just keep your wording and morals in check please.Â
PREDEBUT STANS ARE NO MORE SPECIAL THAN AFTER DEBUT STANS. GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE.Â
There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. A. Big. Blog. Or account for that matter.Â
Appreciate all nine members please. Thereâs a reason why the ânine or noneâ saying is still used.Â
There are honestly probably a lot more things I can say because Iâve been in this fandom since the start so Iâve seen a lot, but here, as a fandom to support Stray Kids, itâs not about you at all. Just create the content you like and want to do and have fun with others without making this place to toxic. If you canât convince someone that theyâre wrong, block. If you didnât get as many notes as you wanted, cry about it for a day, move on, and keep posting more content. If anything, take a break from this website and come back when youâre ready. But donât go putting others down, backhanded compliments or not, if youâre not feeling the greatest.Â
Because at the end of the day, weâre just here to support Stray Kids. Itâs not that hard. Â
