Should "Remember Jonghyun " be our response to bashing?


Umji's butt minder

Recommended Posts

When this recedes a bit in our memories, some members will likely fall back into old, bad habits. Bashing and trolling other people's fandom will be back. Instead of screaming back across the divide of the internet,I propose that our response to bashing should be "Remember Jonghyun". Positive criticism is not a bad thing, but bashing should become something of the past.
Any thoughts?

 

(Edit: I see by some responses I was being too narrow in my thoughts. Read redheart and ☆Yerim☆ below for better more measured responses.

Using a tragedy as a shield for criticism (there is no "positive criticism" for y'all). How classy. Didn't take long for OH to sink low again.

i always like the critism in bashing thread ,even there ia many trolls in that thread,but critism in positive way is okay

There is such a thing as positive criticism. If you don't enjoy something for various aesthetic reasons and you state them,it is a positive. If you hate on someone else's fandom just because,this is bashing.

I know where you are coming from and it can be a reminder, but this situation is deeper than that, he was depressed, it wasn't just because of bashing he did this, it was an internal issue he had

Your 's and redheart's responses made realize I was thinking too narrowly in my own feelings about this. I thank you for your more measured response.

I don't think you were thinking wrongly, when something like this happens, it is easy to think at first "words/bashing can hurt" because in western suicide cases, we usually hear about cases or cyberbullying or real life bullying, and may think it applies here and you aren't wrong

 

But remember that depression doesn't have to have anything to do with bashing, he had a lot of pressure, he felt that he wasn't as good as he could have been. Even if maybe he took words to heart from bashing, I think his issue is a bigger issue as to why he took his own life. So rather than this be our response to bashing, this can be our response to idols speaking out on depressing issues and offering them as much support as we can

I actually had an initial response closer to your's.

I think it was this whole thing wearing on me that pulled me out of shape.
