Apparently, you're triggered. Come, read my thread.

Reminders:
• I'm all chill.
• I won't entertain the trash talkers. Better steer clear of this thread. Go drink some tea.
• I was already argumentative against you @SB19TrendsPH. I hope you don't take this personally. Ca va?

1. My questioning of how these trendsetters work just started recently. Alright. Ever since, ang iniisip kong nagpapa-hype ng lahat ng social media events ng SB ay SBT dapat mismo. We can argue all day pero it's the soc-med team's task to generate hype, not the fans.

Here's why:

A. It creates an unnecessary hierarchy. It creates division. I may be the most vocal one out there, but a minority of fans question the same system. It may seem harmless now, pero it will invoke conflict sooner or later, especially when the fandom becomes bigger and wider.

Here's a supporting clause from a 2019 research by Atiqah Abd-Rahim entitled "Online Fandom: Social Identity and
Social Hierarchy of Hallyu Fans":

"According to McCudden (2011) hierarchy and notions of power are inevitable in community formation, and no less so in fan ++

communities of any sort. This notion of social hierarchy within a fandom is usually created and manifested when a group of fans has the highest social capital within the fandom—so as when this super minority gains access to key information not readily available for the majority.+

These incidences, notably in massive fandoms such as ELFs, incur great damage to the social fiber and was proven detrimental to the image of the idols themselves."

Ayan. May kailangan pa ba akong sabihin? There is an empirical evidence that proves our current system is faulty.+

B. The second reason, and for some of you this could be borderline subjective, is that it tolerates tardiness of the label. I will not touch the claims I've read on your hate tweets against me na pumipila din daw ang @SB19TrendsPH. It's okay. Ganun naman dapat, diba? My point is+

why do these group of fans agreed on the first place na sila ang taga hype within the fandom? I understand they're here to help. But on what basis? Quo warranto: I question those who are behind your prerogative to initiate these hypes. Do the members themselves agree to this?+

Is it not their exclusive responsibility to generate, deliver, and maintain the hype? Somebody has to draw a clear line here.

Hate me all you want now, but sooner or later this will become a problem. Puwede ngang problema na siya ngayon eh. Hindi natin alam.

Sana na-gets niyo.+

2. Another thing, alam kong dadating at dadating sa puntong all of you will point your blades against me.

But you know what? It's funny, kasi some of you I personally admire pa rin hanggang ngayon. Seeing you throw shades like that on me, when in fact I have nothing against you+

is kind of baffling me: what did I ever do to you? Para instantly i-cuss at i-curse mo ko ng ganiyan? I didn't curse at @SB19TrendsPH. Did I? Sue me kung minura kita or if I defamed you. I just questioned your actions. And these big accounts such as @JohnnyThorFish and @nemnem95+

who are, in fact, people I look up to in this fandom. But that doesn't me I cannot question them hypothetically? You can all come at me and argue with me as long as we don't take it personal, don't you agree?

Or, hindi niyo kaya? Laging may involved na emotions? Laging gigil?+

Okay, baka balikan niyo ko using my own tweets. You can ask my moots, there's tin, Amor, Jon, Angel, Maria, even the Ingratas may want to attest that I can argue with them, pero there's never a hint of any emotion. No personal attacks. No cursings. No hates. Just pure arguments.+

It so easy for you to talk about me on your gdms, saying a shitload of stuff about me, and for what? What do you gain? Or the more important question is:

What did you lose? Let me help you with that:

1. Self-control
2. Class
3. Rationality
4. Perhaps a few weeks of your life

+

You see, hindi ko nga kayo kilala. I questioned the status quo, and ya'll came at me just like that. What does that say about your character?

If it's not too much to ask, before you try to defend for others, make sure you can maintain your composure. Ikaw din. Mapapagod ka nyan.

Lastly, to @SB19TrendsPH, I'll leave a DM in your inbox.

Please consider what I inconveniently had to go through. You know I will not brave all these hate para lang pulisin kayo. Try to change the system, or somebody might just do it at the expense of you.

That's all. G'night.
