I've been a fan for a long time and this has always annoyed me so I'm here to rant. Everyone says "idols are people just like us!" like yes, exactly. People just like us, people like your racist cousin, like your homophobic coworker, like your zionist neighbour, your cheating ex, etc. You see my point. They just hide it well, that's what they were taught and some didn't even need to be taught. I just don't understand why that's so hard to understand. I'm not saying we should assume they're all bad. It's just that most probably they do have opinions you won't agree with. If you think they are perfect and align with all the values you hold, you're just fooling yourself. Like tell me how many people in your life do? I say fans don't have life experience because all I said above should be a given. People lie, why is it so common for fans to trust their idols blindly so much? I do wonder if it's a culture thing, as I'm from the Balkans, I've definitely found some similarities in the way people, especially older people think here and in South Korea. Like I know Taegyung recently got some heat for saying he loves cola and I know that if you explained the situation to someone here they'll laugh at your face. I'm in the minority when I care about things like this and I wish he did but I know he doesn't care either. (I also have a more controversial take: I think fans who admit their fave is a POS and still love them are smarter than those who say their fave is ignorant or they didn't know any better lol) submitted by /u/puppyradio [link] [comments]
I feel like most kpop fans just don't have much life experience
