Explanation of which idol photos are okay and which aren’t; a thread.

Please share to spread awareness!!

First of all this is solely my effort in order to make it easier for fans who don’t know which pics they can share and support and which they shouldn’t

Second I’m gonna share some photos as examples but I DON’T condone such behavior.

Why we shouldn’t support this type of thing: https://twitter.com/haetbitmark/status/899100405916762112

NOTE: I am mostly using the word pics here but I mean vids as well and any media taken of the idol

And!! this is fairly long but please take your time to read through it and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to DM me or send it to me through CC :) https://curiouscat.me/g7uwu 

1- airport pics mostly problematic because:

-could show private info like passport
-mostly taken by sasaeng who follow idols to the plane or sell their travel info
-probably caused disturbance to airport staff and passengers giving idols a bad image
-causes mobs around idols

There are a few okay to share airport pics/vids which are:

-taken under regulation and where idols are protected and not mobbed
-for official schedules not for private matters
-taken OUTSIDE of airport or BEFORE immigration
-doesn’t show normal people’s faces without blurring

How to tell if airport pic/vid is okay or not? Here are some tips to filter them and report it on sns and to the company:

1-in each fandom there are known stalkers you should check your fandom’s & avoid them

2-if it shows idols’ phone screen or passport or normal people’s faces

3-check the pics for the following:
-inside the airport
-immigration desk
-security checks
-waiting seats
-golf cars, escalators, elevators
These indicate the idol has crossed immigration area and OP followed them there which is only possible if they have tickets too = stalker.

Examples:
1-(M’s by DO IT NOW! JB’s by DEF JAYB YJ’s by VOICE FACTORY) these are taken at security check
2-these show private info such as boarding passes (M’s by MARKING JS’s by SUNKISSED YG’s Gotta Be 7 BB’s by STARDAILYNEWS)

Examples:
3-taken at the waiting area (terminal) meaning OP booked flight tickets to get inside (probably same as idols = stalker) and is disturbing idols as well as other passengers (JS’s by Ball JY’s by LOVEPUNCH)
4-shows staff’s face without blurring (by DEFJAYB)

other than most airport photos there are a few other problematic pics:

2-taken in a mob, it means person was part of the crowd mobbing idols (especially if taken from a close distance) it has mostly put the idol in an uncomfortable situation and caused disturbance around them

Example:

These are from a very close distance meaning whoever took them was too close to them and was part of the crowd mobbing them, you can see clearly how uncomfortable they are.
JB’s by LOVE IN BOEM, JY’s by GOT7 Jiu Jiu + Whisper + Aunmaii

TW: crowds

Heres is a video in which you can see how such pictures were taken, they can’t even walk, its dangerous for both the idols and the fans and also for the staff and people around them.

and here you can see how dangerous it was and how some fans fell down.

a lot of people feel uncomfortable in crowds some even scared and it could cause them panic, this is why we should be careful as to not condone such disgusting acts.
