As we all know there are a lot of people that love making fun of the kpop community. There are also a lot of people who are constantly trying to engage in fan wars for the fun of it (I guess?). I don’t understand the mentality of trolls or ragebaiters and I’m not sure when the whole “don’t feed to troll” thing turned into “if you get mad at someone trying to ragebait you, they’ve won” but it’s become absolutely exhausting to try to have any kind of conversation with someone before you know if they’re genuinely curious about something or want to understand something from a different angle vs someone who only asked a question in the first place so they could laugh at you for being “stupid” enough to fall for it. I guess it adds another layer of stress that I’m autistic and I have trouble figuring out if people irl are being sincere when they ask me something but then when it’s on the internet it’s an entirely different ballpark of communication. I always try to go into conversations with an open mind and be willing to change my mind if presented with new information or perspectives that would change the way I look at whatever I’m discussing, so it really sucks when people who were only there to laugh at you in the first place create conversations and suddenly I’m in the wrong because I tried to engage with the conversation in good faith.
I’m wondering if anyone else feels this way, especially in the kpop community because I feel like this happens a lot more frequently in the kpop community that in other communities, but that might also be a bias since I spend so much time in the kpop community.
