we need to have a conversation, and a very important one.
i think we can all come to the conclusion that the pilots should use their platform, but i think we also need to come to the conclusion that the way we as a fan base handled this situation was good at first, and turned

bad quickly. we need to educate, that is so important. yet, educating in such a negative way whilst attacking while trying to educate not only the boys, but your mutuals is counter productive at best. these hashtags don’t get seen, and submitting to the LOC video was

not effective because the LOC video has tons of videos waiting to be viewed and half of those videos won’t be shown until a year from now truly. not to mention LOC goes through filters and we don’t even know if that’s getting put through. we as a fan base could reach just as

much if not more people if we as a fan base started “match mes” in donations like we did for crew nation, or if we did a massive donation in the name of the clique. while we are also on this topic we need to discuss more effective ways since hashtags aren’t working. when we

have problems we could !!KINDLY!! message the label or management to maybe get the boys attention. make the label know that we would appreciate this, rather than them viewing these topics as negative. and we need to discuss doxxing. doxxing is not a flex. doxxing is not something

cool, and tracking people’s IPs and making them fear for merely discussing things amongst their friends is so incredibly wrong and i think we as a fanbase can acknowledge it. and lastly we need to discuss the kindness and “hate train” we have going. we are in the middle

of a pandemic! we are in world devastation. it’s hard to find happiness in things these days. BE KIND. you have no idea what people are going through. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. clikkies are still in school and being subjected to a very stressful environment and instead of taking that

energy and attacking each other we need to direct that energy to helping each other. lastly, there’s a difference between criticism and consistent hate. we need to understand we can critic and talk about the situation we are in without bringing down and hating on other

people who have different opinions on set lists, the connection with the boys atm, etc etc. you can outgrow them, but don’t turn around and be hypocritical and say you hate them and then miss them. a lot of people in this fan base have hyperfixations and it can HURT. that just

brings us back to being kind to others. thanks for listening to my rant and hopefully we can all move and grow from this.
