TOPIC: So You Consider Yourself a Stan?
There are some things that need addressing about the way you decide to show your support. #TakeActionBillboard #FixThe10k

Considering this a Take 2 of my previous rant. Last one was a little too soft and clearly one needs to be stern when talking to idiots.
Gonna look self-absorbed but I'm going to be quoting myself a lot because I did make a few good points. https://twitter.com/Lia_in_bloom2/status/1253854009468702720?s=20

So I think we've established that the word stan is being thrown around a lot nowadays without much care in what it truly means. I'm seeing a lot of people use it as some sort of status symbol they get to boast about with ever truly backing up their claims.
It's clear we have a pretty shit reputation in the public eyes and while I would like to come out and defend us, I can see where people are coming from when they talk shit about us.
We haven't exactly been doing a very good job at contradicting them. https://twitter.com/Lia_in_bloom2/status/1253855725408919552?s=20

It's time to talk about that and address all the bullshit we have to face on a daily basis within this fanbase.
For the sake of making this brief, I will refrain from mentioning BB if possible because there is just too much to cover and I do not want to go over 100+ tweets tbh.

So I've talked about loyalty quite a bit these last few days. I've talked about showing up and defending the people you claim to love with all your heart.
While this may have been brought on by the current situation we are still living, it does not only apply to being loyal when

others come against this fandom.
The loyalty I speak of is all encompassing.
The loyalty I speak of is about standing behind the person you swear is friend/family in spite of everything.
We are so quit to jump to their defense against outsiders and yet we allow ourselves

to be attacked by the inside.
It seems hard to believe but the people making the worst attack against this family are the very people that claim to be apart of it. It's the people who decide to create unnecessary drama. Because that is what it is UNNECESSARY.

While I am not saying that these boys are safe or exempt from actually joining in on unsavory things, I find it a little astounding how easily so many of you jump onto the bandwagon and join into the shit shows going on with very little need for explanation.
For some who claims to love them for being so kind and wholesome, you really seem to think very little of them if you are so easily swayed by claims that can't even be backed up most of the time.
We preach about 5SOS being so unproblematic and yet we're also the ones accusing

them of being the exact opposite on a daily basis.
I understand that cancel culture is very prominent these days but you would think that people we consider pure and honest would be safe from that all that.
It'd make sense coming from anyone else but coming from their so called

family seems like a low blow if you ask me.
I've heard people say that you can love someone and still get mad at them and while I do agree with that, have you ever heard about innocent until proven guilty?
AT LEAST verify things before going in for the kill.

All I can say is with loyalty there must also be a show of respect. They must go hand in hand if you truly want to show yourself as someone who is true to their word about caring about some for more than just their looks or celebrity status.

There are so many topics I can cover on this issue but each and every one of them deserves a thread of their own.
Right now the main issue we need to address is RESPECT and the other lack of it constantly being shown withing this shitty fandom.

I've said it before and I will say it again:
No matter how much they may say we are friends/family or how much they care about us WE ARE THEIR FANS.
There is a big difference between joking around and taking playful jabs at each other and downright being insulting.

I cannot count how many damn times I have seen people say things that go way beyond the point of being considered decent.
Some people take too many liberties on how they address these boys because they have convinced themselves it's okay. They must be used to it after all.

And that's the fucking point.
THE BOYS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE USED TO IT
This type of shit should not be a daily occurrence and should not be something they should have to fucking deal with because some prissy bitches cannot fucking control themselves.

You guys take too much advantage of how available these boys make themselves to us.
You aren't treating them as people and you sure as hell aren't treating them as friends because if that's the kind of fucking friend you are then maybe you don't deserve any AT ALL, you bitch.

Once again I am repeating myself and reminding you that all this petty bullshit is going to achieve is for the boys to get annoyed and fucking QUIT.
Whether that be social media or just everything all together... I'm not sure.
They have shown to have the patience of saints

up until this point but continue on with being a bunch of fucking idiots and we may not consider ourselves lucky for much longer.
It's a miracle they have lasted for so long given how much they have to deal with thanks to us alone.

Oh but that's the price of being famous right?
These boys' job is to make music. It's to create and perform. THEY'RE A FUCKING BAND.
Their job is not to deal with our bullshit.
They sure as hell did not sign up for being accosted by shitty fans for the STUPIDEST of reasons.

What's worse is that so much of this bullshit hardly has anything to do with them. Most of the time the shit going down is just among the fans & they still get sucked into it because we're all apparently a bunch of children who need constant supervision.
They should not have to be forced or guilted into resolving something that should not have anything to do with them.
Again, IT IS NOT THEIR JOB.
They aren't fucking God. They aren't omnipresent beings that can watch over us and drop in the second things need resolving.

THEY ARE NOT OUR DADS!
Give up on your little daddy fantasies and grow the fuck up.
There should be no need for anyone to drop in and scold you on your stupidity. (Myself included)
No one should have to explain how dumb you're being and why you should fucking stop.

Being a fuckin stan is showing up and supporting your artist. It's being loyal and respectful. It's being a decent human being and recognizing that they are all just people too. Its NOT expecting them to be perfect. They have flaws too.
It's NOT expecting them to bend to your whims.
It's NOT giving them more shit to deal with
It's NOT an excuse to shit on them.
And it's NOT joining in on petty drama because you're too bored with your own sad life to care how it will affect them.
It's just... NOT. Get it together

If these boys truly meant anything to you at all then maybe you should try to not make their lives any harder than they have to be.
Putting a current end to this TedTalk because I am tired and just too fucking mad. Continuing any further will only result in a long line tweets consisting only of swear words.
