Rant #2

You. I Do My Own .

Idols Who Date

This is probably the most ridiculous topic that I'll ever rant about but this is an issue. A REAL MOTHERING ISSUE. And this is about idols who date, hence the title "Idols Who Date." But first, let me making myself clear because this isn't targeted at the idols themselves but their mothering fans.

Yes. The fans.

I was on Mnet today and I came across this poll. It asked, "would you want to know if your idol is dating?" and 81.1% said yes so far. Wait, "yes"? ARE YOU ING KIDDING ME?! WHY THE DO YOU CARE SO MUCH WHETHER YOUR IDOL IS DATING OR NOT? Like seriously!? This is a real problem if you guys care SOOO much about your idols' private life. 

Let me give you guys a pretty recent example, Taeyeon of SNSD and Baekhyun of EXO. Do you guys realize how many haters there are just because of thier relationship right now? Many of the EXO fans stopped being their fans because this issue. THIS ONE MOTHERING ISSUE! This one little thing has caused people to stop liking EXO and move onto another group JUST because their idol is dating someone who's not them.

ARE YOU ING SERIOUS?!

People claim their idols as theirs when they become a fan and everyone, including myself, does this occassionally.

But let's be realistic here, DO THEY ING KNOW YOU?! 

NO! 

Do they know you exist? 

NO! 

THEN WHY THE ARE YOU BEING SO ING POSSESIVE?! 

First of all, you only know them but they don't know you back. They see you only as another fan in the crowd.

Second of all, how much do you know about them? Do you know them personally? Do you know what they're thinking? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH STRESS THEY NEED TO UNDERGO JUST TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH CRAZY FANS LIKE YOU?! NO! NO! AND NO! 

Third of all, if all the statements above are true, THEN WHY DO YOU CARE IF THEY'RE DATING SOMEONE OR NOT?! It's their business, not yours. Unless you have something directly to do with the whole situation, I suggest you MIND YOUR OWN ING BUSINESS. 

What's so important that requires you to have the need to know their every move? Think about it, if your idol finds out, not only will they think you're a creepy stalker, but also a maniac who doesn't learn to stop. 

These idols are here for you to look up to, to see as a role model, NOT FOR YOU TO STALK DAY AND NIGHT LIKE A CREEPY PEDOFILE. 

And this doesn't just apply to Korea, this applies to EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE. Hong Kong, China, America, Canada, Europe, this applies to all. 

These idols are not yours. Really, these idols only belong to 3 types of people. Their family, their boyfriend/girlfriend and their company/group. Even FRIENDS don't own them. Therefore, LEARN TO MIND YOUR OWN ING BUSINESS AND KEEP YOUR FANGIRLING TO A MINIMUM.

Chapter 12: I guess some people just don't know when to open their minds to the truth and broaden their perspectives. I guess this is why I like Kpop. The people are super friendly, although there are some who seem crazy and problematic (to the point that even I feel worried, even though I'm miles away), and super accepting of one another. Sure, there are some who act immaturely but most are pretty nice. It's nice. They don't judge 'cause we're all in the same boat. :-)
Yeah, I can totally relate with that. During one of my many heated conversations with my best friend about Kpop, an acquaintance of mind butted in, saying, “Yuck. Those people are Kpop-panget.” (Kpop-panget in English basically means, “Kpop-hideous.” It's a rough translation but it's alright.) And still, even as she judged their clothes, their appearances, their language and their entire BEING, we never reprimanded her for it. We told her she was entitled to her own opinion but some words are better kept to herself. She shrugged. (I saw her whispering to her other friends and distinctly heard a few words about Kpop. It makes me sad that people are so quick to judge when they find it annoying or bothersome when they are judged themselves for something.)

You may not care about what I think or what I may have to say, but I support you and all your views in these specific situations. Thank you for (figuratively) help me stay sane after this year of hate in the kpop fandom. It's nice to know there are at least some considerate people around here. Please continue this rant series.

Chapter 1: I don't know if I should comment since there's nothing more to say when you said everything that needed to be said. I totally agree.
I don't comment much on YouTube or allkpop (I stopped going to this site) because all I see when it comes to K-Pop are either bashers, haters, or fans. Even though I'm a fan of the group, when I read the comments (I know... Dumb of me to do that, right?), I feel a bit disappointed that other people don't consider the idols themselves. I know they must've trained years and worked hard so they could debut but they get hate when they actually do. I know they probably don't like the group for some reason but they could at least keep their thoughts to themselves. I know it might be hard for others to do that but still, it would be much more peaceful in the comments if people do. The lesson you stated here is another variation of,"If you have nothing important to say, don't say anything at all."
When I actually do comment, I put a lot of thought to it because sometimes people can misinterpret what I'm trying to say and then start an argument about it.

Sorry for ranting... I just wanted to share my opinion. This really connects to me and I hope to read more of your posts. ^_^ Thank you for sharing!
