Why Compare?!

This blog post reflects my opinions, and my opinions alone

I am so incredibly tired of people comparing two completely different companies: SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment. Especially like this: Allkpop

Why does this annoy me? Because you can't compare people! How people choose to react is their own problem! I'm mad because this person dare to hint that SM isn't a family while he or she is a YG-stan. If you're a YG-stan, JYP-stan, Cube-stan, or whatever else but apart of an SM fandom, don't speak of subjects you have no clue about. 

I am a SONE and love every group from Super Junior and onwards, because those are the ones that got me into kpop. So I follow each group and fandom a lot. And recently, especially this year, I've seen that there has been a lot of fights between SM fandoms. There's no way to deny that, that is the plain and clear truth. It hurts to see it happen, but that is what has happened. 

But, let me ask you: what siblings do NOT fight or fuss, ever?

It is a ridiculous thought that no sibling does, so don't jump on SM, their groups or their fandoms and compare them to YG or another company and its family. Because SM has its family, JYP its family, YG its family, Cube its family, TS its family, and so on. Every family is different. 

Another thing: this person and his or her meme ONLY focuses on the bad SM's fandoms have been going through recently. What about the good things? How i.e. Exotics received support from ELFs and Cassies, f(x)'s fans from SONEs and ELFs, Red Velvet from SONEs and ELF's. The idols of SM also have a lot of interactions, which makes more than one fandom happy to see. SM's fandoms support each other a lot, but this person and meme chose to ignore that completely and hint that the SM family isn't as close or good as the YG family.

Also, what annoys me the most about this meme, is the fact that I and others from SM fandoms have stepped up to support YG before. Just recently, we've supported Park Bom of 2NE1 and Blackjacks during her medical and Kemy controversies that came from nowhere, unnecessarily. We've supported other YG idols before also, i.e. CL, Seungri, Se7en, etc. And this response is the thanks we get? 

If a company and its fandoms only get hate, antis and bashing from those I support, I'll just end my support. Why support someone who only replies with ignorance? Because this meme is just plain ignorance as it won't highlight all the good things SM's fandoms have been through together and tries to put SM and its fandoms in a bad light. Because SM's idols and fandoms goes through a lot more love and friendship than fights. 

Know that, at least, if you don't know the whole picture.

I get frustrated seeing that too, but we can't judge a full fandom or YG-stan for that or just a single person who doesn't seem to appreciate the support we give. I will continue to support the other entertainment families besides just SM since stopping for one person is a bit unfair to the mature and rather kind YG-stans. We, Sones, have a history with Blackjacks and recently it has been getting waaay better than how it was compared to 2010 . I constantly see Blackjacks helping us with the views in snsd's MVs and words of support. For example, when we reached 100 million for IGAB, I saw multiple Blackjack accounts congratulating us. :)Every fandom has unrational thinking fans and it would be hypocritical to judge a full fandom based on one stupid meme when a good amount of YG-stans are friendly. We have stupid SM-stans who judge YG, too. The best we can do is to represent our idols and what they have taught us to be. Jessica told us to be the bigger person, so let us not sink low enough to follow the footsteps of a troll but rather the footsteps of our inspirations...YG-stans and SM-stans alike .
