Thanks for making that post. I've been in various fandoms for a long time, and while I love BTS and some of the fan experience, a lot of it feels deeply unhealthy. What bothers me most of all, compared to other fandoms, is that there seems to be almost no room for nuanced discussion, for any 'negativity' aka not blindly supporting and adoring everything they do. And anyone who doesn't adore everything they do, from journalists to award shows to random people online, gets death threats. I wish it was all 15-year olds who don't know better, but what worries me is that these are grown up people who otherwise seem smart but get swept up in the insanity of this fandom so easily.

I wish there was room, somewhere, for nuanced discussion, to say that actually, what Cordon said wasn't that bad, BTS basically having to acknowledge it themselves to make people stop is worrying, maybe advertising a corporation like McDonalds isn't great, maybe the way people inflate streaming numbers and kept Butter on nr 1 for so long is ridiculous and should stop, etc. Let alone saying some songs or performances aren't that good, god forbid.

when I tell you that I’ve just lost a handful of followers after I shared my own opinions on my own blog under a cut so people can freely choose to read it or not, isn’t that a hilarious example for what you said? No room for other opinions, no room for criticism and discussion, you absolutely put it to the point. I think it’s a huge misconception of many to think you’re not allowed to be rational and critical with people you love and care for
