Seriously, Iโm not trying to hate and Iโm not even a fan, just a local... Iโve always liked Winter and Ningning because theyโre pretty, but seeing Winter get dragged this hard makes me pity her. I know they say you shouldn't worry about celebrities, but... looking at the idol industry through this incident, it feels so bizarre.
The worst part is that the ones talking trash aren't even antis, but the "fans."
Looking at the reasons, everyone is saying itโs a parasocial business and she made it too obvious or deceived the fans, but I think that parasocial mindset is the biggest problem. Aren't most aespa fans girls anyway? Before sheโs an idol, Winter is a human and a woman in her 20s; of course sheโs going to date a handsome guy who's on her level. It seems like the ones living in the delusion that theyโre actually dating her are the ones getting triggered and hating. I think that whole culture and mindset is dangerous. They have the money to drop thousands on idols, yet... I wouldn't be surprised if Winter finds her fans pathetic.
"Fans are pushing back against the 'fandom collapse' narrative, pointing out that the core fans are still loyal and that the hate is mostly coming from obsessed antis and jealous rival fandoms."
