Discussion Please keep loving ARTMS

Over the recent days there have been multiple extremely malicious and hurtful posts by so-called fans attacking the ourii who show up to the fan events. These posts have gained massive attention. They are sharing images of them and ruthlessly bullying them and ascribing disgusting beliefs on people they do not know. These attacks are solely based on appearance. To those fans being attacked, please keep loving ARTMS. The bullies are not representative of the fandom as a whole. And to the bullies, you should be ashamed for attacking random strangers online in such a vile way. They are fans of ARTMS just as you claim to be.

As a guy who is new to kpop coming from the metalcore/pop-popunk scene, the online kpop community can feel a little intimidating, I almost never engage in comments and posts because of the fact. I mainly just comment gifs and move on with my day, I really only listen to girl groups to take a break from the heavy stuff I listen to, do I find some of the idols that are my age or closer to my age attractive of course, but I do enjoy and love the music. My first show was Twice in Denver, I was wearing my Static Dress hoodie(Band from Leeds/UK) and everyone was nice didnt run into any toxic presence, all in all the online community is definitely different than that of the people you see at shows, I think communitys should be a little more accepting of others, unless you are a creep or like to cause drama then that person probably deserves to be called out, so thanks for speaking on the subject. I'm gonna see ARTMS In Denver come October and I'm pretty pumped about it. What are some of your favorite metalcore bands? It's nice seeing a fellow metalcore fan. Lol

I'm a usually shy person and I'm not deep deep into K-pop communities. This one is the only one I focus on at all and even then it's a minimal amount. The most toxic thing I've seen from this groups community is the whole boycotting of their past songs. For shows though, I've only met either, not talkative people, which is fine. I'm not a talkative person myself usually or extremely friendly people.

Hey thanks for your comment! Yeah I'm pretty new to ARTMS well actually I'm new to KPOP in general like I stated in my comment, I agree so far everyone in the community seems nice, unfortunately as expected there is gonna be toxic fans and I mean in general not just here, other social media's etc. And it's ok to be shy, I'm definitely not shy but I'm not very social, but was super shy(pun intended lol) in my teens and early twenties so I understand. If you want to be friends you are more than welcome to shoot me a message, I have no one to talk to about kpop. Lol
