[Instiz] Why fans decide to turn against their bias...

Instiz: An explanation of why fans turn against their artists

"When fans turn against their favorite celebrity, it's not because they're dating, or they disrupted society, or they had a long hiatus, or because they got married. It's when fans realized that while all of the above was going on, they never once thought of or considered their fans in the process.

It's indeed true that fans will do anything for their favorite artist and that their love is one-sided but interaction of some level is needed. Fans are not asking for each and every one of them to be recognized. Fans are merely asking for a basic sense of respect and gratitude towards the very people that gave them love and helped them get to where they are now.

People always ask fans "aren't celebrities human too?" and fans have no problem with celebrities living their life how they choose to. It's just that they need to have a sense of respect to the fans who laid down the foundation and all the pillars for their career without expecting anything in return. Fans aren't asking for much."

"It's honestly true, it's because of the fans that they even have money to eat.."

"I relate to this so much."

"Yeah, once you realize that stars are all about the business, reality hits you like a truck and you start to see differently."

"I remember leaving a fandom for this very reason ㅠㅠ"

"I don't think it'd be a stretch to say some stars wouldn't have had the opportunities they were given if not for their fans.."

"Fans don't ask for their names to be called when their idols win #1.. They just want a general message of gratitude towards the fans."

"Yeah, we really don't ask for much. Just knowing that they're thinking of us is enough."

"Same.. As long as they know that we've been here for them all along, that's enough."

"This is exactly what I've been trying to express. I don't care what scandals they get into because it's not my life but once stars start acting like they got there on their own and start alienating their fans.."

"I don't care if my bias dates, just keep showing that you still love your fans and I'll be happy ㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

"Definitely agree... that sense of betrayal when you think that all those messages were for you as a fan but they were secretly for a girlfriend... ugh *trembles*"

"It's never the shock of the fact that your favorite idol is dating when dating scandals come out... it's the realization that all of their actions and messages weren't for you but for their s/o that's shocking."

"Even if they don't mean it, showing a minimum level of gratitude and respect towards your fans is all that is needed."

"With some groups, a realization just hits you that you're no longer important in their life... ㅜㅜㅜㅜ"
