I saw a lot of stuff graviting around fanwars and people discrediting artist.
I know that it's from a Stay fan account, so I will take some examples for Stays, but it can more or less apply to anyone.
Plus, I still want to speak up on this topic.
- a thread way too long

A quick summary of all that follows :
1) The artists are the ones suffering the most
2) Why are you wasting your time spreading hate ?
3) We only know vaguely what implies being in the industry, so we are not in position to judge the artists themselves.

First of all, the ones who are suffering the most are the artists.
I'm sure that any stan would be grieved to see the ones enlightening our day being hurt by words of antis. So why are you doing this to other fandoms ?

Instead of tweeting hateful words that you wouldn't dare say face in face to a perfect stranger, or answering to the hate upon your faves with hate...
Tweet about how you love the artists you admire, and why you do so.

Maybe you are having a very bad time, or a very bad day, and this is why you were acting like you did...
It happens to everyone, to do stuff like this. It's human.
But keep in mind that these artists are also human beings, with feelings.
Plus, positivity help feeling better !

Second, why are you wasting your time spreading hate ?
Whatever fandom you are in, if you are talking trash about other groups instead of sharing why you love your faves, aren't you showing a bad image of the fandom you are part of and wasting time ?

It is important and interesting to meet people of other fandoms, and to see what are the strengh of their faves to understand what makes the group(s) they stan so unique.
Discrediting any group is just... doing the contrary, and spitting on the back of every hard working artist.

I'll take the example of Bang Chan, since I am a Stay, but I am sure that there are other artist that you can find sharing the following traits that I'll describe, and that can also give you more reasons why you shouldn't spend so much time on hate.
He has been in the industry for quite a while, so he more or less knows everyone, or almost. He trained with a lot of people, and made friends in other groups, as well as many of the members in his group.
He respects all of them, and seem to stan the whole industry.

Now think about it : some of the people you have discredited, some of the people you have spread hate on, some of the people you have hurt with your words...
They might be friends, role models, ex-trainee comrades of your faves.
So by hurting them, you also hurt your faves.

Thirdly, I think I'm not wrong if I say that most of the haters don't know how hard it is, to any artist, to have the place they have now.
Music industry is a bet. It's a hit, or a miss. And even if it hits, staying high is really hard, and the competition is fierce.

None of us, or almost none of us, is even qualified to judge an idol hard work.
We mostly are not trainees, nor trainers, nor in the industry, so we are not in position to judge.

Of course, everyone has their taste, and you can like or dislike any music as much as you want, and I have no problem with it.
(e.g I still will probably internally judge you a bit if you don't like Sunshine, but I'll respect your taste and that's not the point of this thread)

But let's all try to focus on what makes us happy, more than on the things that we dislike, because there is nothing bad that can come out from it !
I think that everyone has to win from spreading love for our faves !

P.S : Plus, we all know that the real ennemies in the end are YouTube deleting/freezing views and Mnet cliffhangers !
