Ok, so this was not triggered by a kpop post, but by a post talking about Scarlett Johansson saying she doesn’t want to take selfies on her off days with fans, and some of the comments on the post were similar to how a lot of kpop stans think.
Some commenters were saying that she was too harsh because while fans shouldn’t harass actors and artists, the artists have to recognize they are where they are because of the fans.
No, I’ll stop you there. You got it completely backwards, they are not successful at their job because of fans, they have fans because they are good at what they do.
Scarlett Johansson doesn’t have fans because they want to be charitable and give her a living wage, she has them because she is a great actress. [insert idol or group here] is not successful because fans give them money, they are successful because the package they give fans (music, dance, interactions, and so on) is good and fans WILLINGLY buy into it because they like it.
I know this is more directed towards stans on other platforms because Reddit fans are usually more reasonable, but I wanted to give my take on this and see what you think.
