onthethruway01 | Haters to the left...

Dear LJ,

I love my fandom. It's not easy for a 40 something white woman to admit to her friends and family that she is obsessed with Korean pop bands. As a child I faced religious persecution. As a grown up I've cringed as my co-workers bashed anyone who wasn't white. I got into fandom as a fluke, and I'm loving every minute of it. I enjoy reading and writing fan fiction. I like drawing, doing macros and posting pics and discussing music with you all. But it distresses me when I go to read some news or see a video of a group I like and find people trashing them so rudely.

Why can't we; a group of people from all faiths, races, and walks of life, enjoy our hobbies without being haters? Do you want someone to continuously say bad things about the celebrities you like? What ever happened to diplomacy? Come on now! I know you guys are young, but don't let your teenage / young adult angst get in the way of your judgment.

If you really and truly hate a band with a passion, it doesn't matter. Your cruel words are unnecessary. Instead of writing "I think they are shitty and should just quit," why not say. "I'll pass, not interested." It shows they are not your "cup of tea" without being nasty.

Do you want to be like those sad people who made Jay Park go home? Do you want to stoop to their level? Maybe that seems harsh, but as someone who supports all of K pop ( yes I do; I support the whole genre even if i don't follow each individual band), I'm finding it hard to remain calm as one of my favorite groups is continually put down.

I could be a bitch and trash your bands. Would you like that? I can be pretty nasty if I so chose. But instead, I remain calm and let it pass. I would like to believe that there is some amount of maturity out there. Don't disappoint me ladies and gentlemen (yes, fanboys, I know you are out there).

Let's unite together as intelligent people who enjoy all aspects of Asian pop music. Wish the new bands luck, and if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.

Remember: Yoochun is always watching you.....

Mazeltov, abi gezunt!

too true. Well so far my friends have posted which is awesome. i'm hoping to attract others who i don't know...draw them in like bees to honey. Muhaha! I'm for a challenge. Hoping someone wants to pick a fight. *puts oner boxing gloves and waits for Michael Buffer*

"Let's get ready to rumble!

Best bet to get some fighters is to post this on a larger community. Can't think of a good one though. They should totally have a debate community for KPOP.

I changed my setting just for this so it wasn't locked in to just friends. I don't know if it will work; but i had to try. I may not remain calm if ZE:A continues to be bashed. I may just have to extend my claws.

I don't really know how LJ works with the whole private and locked posts. I fail >_<

And I've been spamming everybody with relevant macros because I feel deprived that I missed FFA on Wednesday. You should totally evoke the wrath of the haters next week by spamming everybody with ZE:A pics. ^___^ Or maybe you'll make some new friends. So win, win situation right there.

Jae's ready to back you up.

We're covered. Changmin's a lose cannon and Chun knows Tae Kwon Do.

And if all else fails we can bust out our secret weapon...
