the “your fave is problematic” concept has always been alive on tumblr and other sns, but i’ve never seen it as strongly applied in other fandoms as much as kpop

when it comes to calling out idols who’ve done or said questionable things, it’s definitely a good thing, but when we reach a point where people carefully strive to only stan the purest people and shame others for liking more problematic idols, there’s a damn problem

i see people on here feel guilt over their favorite idols, i see some who drive themselves to silence in order to not be ganged up by self-righteous folks who believe they’re better for stanning “less problematic” people

no one is “unproblematic”, no one is perfect, so to see people develop a superiority complex because they stan “better people” is frankly disgusting; they need to get their heads out of their asses and let people stan whoever they want, as long as they’re aware of what their favorites have done

we all have different levels of tolerance when it comes to dealing with the shit idols do, we don’t always know what people go through, why they stan an idol, and we don’t always know everyone’s boundaries,  so just let people live
