I'm a new fan of this rookie group and a few days ago they surpassed BTS and Straykids in Duckad contest and to no surprise of anyone the toxic part of Army and Stay popped out left and right... until now I see posts and comments no matter how many I mute and block. They're so mad that some unknown rookie group could garner points that they've created narratives and spreading it around like it's factual that it's all payola, the company is buying all the votes, the fandom are all bots, they are hacking the duckad app etc because their train of thought is that it's impossible for a rookie group they've never even heard of to get hundreds of millions of votes especially one who just debuted last month. They're so mad at the thought of buying votes even like somehow it's illegal to do it... it's not. And for sure everybody in that app purchases vts. Heck the solo girl group has receipts and they are proud to have spent $510,000 on Wonyoung ending with 6 Billions vts total for her. But no they're going on about fairness, clean competition, organic.. HUH? My brother and sisters from another planet there has never been a time where in voting kpop groups is organic. Even if you don't pay for points people have been creating multiple accounts just to jump up their stans. Omfg. What even is this narrative? The victimizing because they "spent 24/7 grinding on the app"... nobody is even forcing you to do that?? Like you have people in your fandom saying they have 100 million and 200 million etc etc saved up so they're going to win this easy yada yada which just makes all this worse because if you can win easy then what is all this whining for? They're even targeting the rookie group itself saying how they don't deserve to win this because they've not done enough. They're not hard working. They haven't gone through enough hardship. It's all fake. Excuse me?? As a Carat who is still bitter about MAMA 2019 (iykyk) the way these toxic people are using these excuses to belittle and hate on a rookie group doesn't sit right with me. Your group is not better than this rookie because EVERY voting awards out there that is fan focused will never ever be "organic" I'm mad af for this rookie fandom because of these egoistic toxic group of people who are too loud for their own good. Mind you the contest is still ongoing and yet they're going on and on. I want this rookie group to win but good lord I can already imagine how much crying will happen if they do so. Maybe Exol can drop 2 billion vts before the deadline? 😏 You know what's even funnier? They're shooing away even the people in their fandom too for being multistan. Calling them traitors and fake fans because how dare they be a fan of multiple group since some people actually visited the social medias of the rookie group to check them out and they're leaving comments saying they're good, handsome, I'm a fan etc. So I guess at least that is one positive. New fans lol. submitted by /u/Unique-Horror-9244 [link] [comments]
