Now look I'm sure some of you actually do care, and want to educate them properly and that's great! Keep it up (so long as it's respectful) however I've noticed that those are not the majority. I say this because a lot of times stans will praise their idols, their favs, have nothing but love in their posts and then as soon as they do something wrong(no matter how big or insignificant) they're "disappointed", "unstanning", throwing hate, sending malicious comments and it's like why? Like I'm not saying you can't feel upset or unstan you can feel however you want but how can you change your tune so quickly? How can you go from loving and praising your fav to bashing and hating in the same breath? Is it really because you care about the actual problem or is it because they didn't meet your expectations of them? Let's face it kpop puts out a lot of content and a lot of fan service and it's not hard at all to insert ourselves in their world, to develop an emotional connection with them, to feel like we really know them. We put them on this pedestal, we develop in our minds who we think they are, how we think they would/should act, what we think they would or should do and when they do something that contradicts that, it's a reality check, because the reality is: we dont know them. They're not this amazing "god" like friend who can never do anything wrong that we've imagined in our minds, they're a human being who just like us are going to make mistakes in their lifetime. For whatever reasons fans seem to hold these celebrities to outrageous standards and they forget they're just doing their jobs. Whether we like it or not being an idol is a job, and just like any job there are rules to follow and roles they have to play, We tend to forget we only see what they want us to see, we forget our interpretation of them is only what we see on screen, we forget that They are just human. They are going to make mistakes. We as humans make mistakes everyday and we don't get harassed for it so why should they? Because they're in the public more often? That's not an excuse and it's not ok because if fans actually cared they'd go to the root of the problem, they'd message the company not spam their social media, they'd explain the situation not throw hate, they'd actually research what happened before jumping to conclusions, they wouldn't trend hate hashtags, they wouldn't send malicious messages, and they wouldn't ever send death threats, and its because of things like that I don't believe you're upset about the actual problem, you're upset because they did something that contradicts how you imagined them. Again I'm not saying you can't be upset, that you can't unstan, but before you make that conclusion, before you trend that hashtag, before you send that message, are you really doing it because you care about the problem? Because you actually want them to learn? Or are you doing it because you're upset they didn't live up to what you imagined them to be?
