Letās 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.Ā
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 postĀ and tagging it as Stray Kids to get the notes. Itās annoying and unhealthy.Ā
You reached 1k followers? Great! Thatās amazingāa thousand people like the content you post. But it does notĀ give you the right to think youāre better than anyone elseĀ in this fandom. Weāre all here to love and support Stray Kids and youāre ruining it for everyone else. And even worse? Youāre ruining it for the boys you claim to love yourself. Youāre 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.Ā Donāt even try to deny that fandoms are a big factor as to why people stay away from liking something.Ā
While Iām at it, people will like you more if you support their content. Reblog and thereās a higher chance someone will click on your blog and check you out if youāre that thirsty for followers. But donāt go around sending anon hate, the lowest thing you can do on this hellsite, because youāre jealous. If you donāt like the person, BLOCK AND REPORT. ITāS NOT THAT HARD.Ā
Stop spreading hate and negativity because no one likes it. This fandom always has drama up itās sleeve and some people blow it out of proportion but Iāve kind of had it with this bullshit.Ā
Thereās no such thing as aĀ ābig blogā and if you seriously want power that much, create content people like and maybe youāll get it.
Stop tagging every one of your personal text posts asĀ āstray kidsā in hopes that someone will see your blogĀ ā thisĀ is clout chasing, not wasting hours on something as useless as creating gifs thatās tumblr exclusive
STOP MAKING OLDER FANS FEEL BAD; not all biases are romantic attractions and if youāre seriously attacking them because they bias someone younger than them, youāre delusional. People can bias whoever they want as long as theyāre not seuxalizing a minor. Plus, older fans are the ones who can buy albums anyway, which means physical, monetary support, so leave them alone.Ā
Thereās no such thing as a big blog. Stop caring about notes and followers so much.
Actually reblog content? You wonāt get any content if the majority of content creators arenāt getting the response they need for motivation.Ā
Make your own contentādonāt 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 donāt, take, other peopleās works.Ā Ā
Stop caring about followers.Ā
Streaming and voting is nice yes, but youāre not a bad fan if you donāt do it? People just donāt have the patience to do that kind of thing, can you blame them? Doesnāt make them any less of a fan.Ā
Youāre allowed to have unpopular opinions. Just keep your wording and morals in check please.Ā
PREDEBUT STANS ARE NO MORE SPECIAL THAN AFTER DEBUT STANS. GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE.Ā
There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. A. Big. Blog. Or account for that matter.Ā
Appreciate all nine members please. Thereās a reason why theĀ ānine or noneā saying is still used.Ā
There are honestly probably a lot more things I can say because Iāve been in this fandom since the start so Iāve seen a lot, but here, as a fandom to support Stray Kids, itās 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 canāt convince someone that theyāre wrong, block. If you didnāt 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 youāre ready. But donāt go putting others down, backhanded compliments or not, if youāre not feeling the greatest.Ā
Because at the end of the day, weāre just here to support Stray Kids. Itās not that hard.Ā Ā
