Stupidity & Drama thy name is fandom

[scottishlass]

Today, I asked myself if the very essence of fandom has changed since the internet started out back in the mid nineties. Fandom back then meant ppl with common interests meeting together, having fun together and sharing their adoration of said interest (series, movie, band or actor/singer). Nowadays, entire fandoms are made up of antis, haters and what not.

Pick one fandom and you will find an equal share of haters in the fandom than admirers. I first noticed that when I came across Korean boy bands and actors ... boy, those Korean fans or non-fans are ruthless. They are crazy stalkers, drama queens and all in all bitches, rejoicing in their self-centeredness as well as their vicious barbs towards artists and fans alike.

Perhaps I'm getting too old for fandom, after all, it is fanGIRL not fanWOMAN but jeesh, the drama, bitches.

That's why I tried to stay with JE, fans are not that scary/crazy compare to Koreans LOL

True ... but try out JRock fandom and you will see internationally they are just as crazy as the Koreans. Really!!! I never have seen so many self-centered bitches than in JRock and most of those drama queens are not even Asian. *shudders*
