FANBOYS = PRETENDERS


Cloud Of Perception

Recommended Posts

Lately I been seeing this trend and attitude of people thinking any girl group with a large following of male fans appeal to perverted old men who are just looking for the latest fap material.  Usually these accusations are held against younger groups.  The idea these girl groups are run on the support of old men is not only incorrect it also makes zero sense if you know anything about fandom of girl groups, statistics show most girl groups have unisex fandoms consisting of males and females mostly in their 10s and 20s.  When you think about it how many  40 year old men are worried about what some idols are doing, most  40 year olds are doing other things in their lives and could give a rats ass about kpop.  

 

Kpop appeals to people in their 10s and 20s, you have your rare people who are older but in no means are they the main fanbase of the genre and even if they were being older doesn’t mean their automatically creepy freaks, why is it Shinees noona fandom at debut or more recently Seventeens large noona fanbase are seen as cute mother like fans but a girl group like EXID, AOA and more recently Twice having a lot of male fans gets labelled as them having male fans simply for their concept and that their male fanbase is solely there for lust, why is such a double standard exist.  Why are people in such a hurry to brand all fanboys as some devils, if a girl group wins any poll with males its seen as nothing important and that males have no right to speak on such matters but when a male or female idols have lot of fangirls its seen as an accomplishment why cant all be celebrated equally regardless of gender, I understand there are perverted male fans who say and do things that are out of line but the same could be said for self-labelled pedo noonas  so why is there such large generalization of male fans.

Because that's how society works whether we like to admit it or not!

This topic reminds me of that English teacher who slept with her clearly underage student but only got probation! If the roles were reversed, the man would be sentenced to life! That's just how the world is, unfortunately.

 

Women are treated a lot better as opposed to men in everyday situations.

Some what agree.... but that stereotype that you mentioned is not exclusive to males and judging by the number of famous kpop reviewers and blog authors I really don't think that fanboys opinions are also discarded... but that is just me lel

When I meant was that, for ex. if a girl group gets voted to be popular among males it would be seen as not important and that she only received the votes for her sex appeal or whatever else, it would be twisted in a negative way and molded into not being of value, when it comes to reviews and music its a different story but I wasnt addressing that in this post I was strictly just speaking about the perception that girl groups appeal towards older men and that fanboys were all painted with the same brush.

 

 

I'm pretty sure the 'pedonoona' thing has gotten a lot more criticism than male fans until recently

It has indeed received certain criticism but nowhere near the amount it deserves, branding yourself a pedo and using it as some sort of joke to openly lust after underage male idols is extremely disturbing but I see a louder outcry if fanboys were calling themselves pedooppa.  These two things are wrong of course but their is a more negative stigma attached to male fans of girl groups, not that its completely unfounded as some have displayed behavior that is disgusting but a lot of fanboys even on here are not that way but it seems the bad seeds are the ones who are in the minds of most when they think about male fans

Ahhhh.... ok i thought you was talking about fanboy opinions in general that is way i said that ^^;;. I was trying to say that the whole that you only stan a group xyz becuase they are attracted to them is just an general assumption that lead common misconceptions like one that you are talking about (or others like if you stan a group of the same sex it is assumed that you are gay or lesbian and that misconception has its own type of problems as well) are also use to attack fans of either sex. Like honestly I don't know how many times females have their stanning called into question and be called "dick addled crazy fangirls because they are thristy for oppa peen." Or that the word fangirl has actually turned into an insult for basically describing that assumption.

 

I hope this made sense... I am not good in explaining things ^^;;; :/

 

But I do agree on want you said about the pedonoona culture tho :)

That makes total sense and I agree with you, it seems both sides need to work on patching up these problems but then again its not like a conference or meeting can be called lol
