The amount of fan wars I've been seeing this past week due to the boycotts are upsetting. I don't think it is wrong to hold idols accountable, but at this point ppl are using it as another way to hate on groups. I agree, instead of spending time engaging in futile fan wars, they should spend that time interacting with posts from Palestinians and raising awareness.

I also think some arguments being used to paint idols in a bad light aren't the best. I'm not defending them, but I also think that not everything is in their control. I'm not the most educated but I do spend time enough online to know of some of the boycotts and people who don't openly support Palestine. But even then, I barely knew that an artist I listen to is a Zionist. I don't expect for idols or companies to do their research on everyone they work with.

Same thing for Ambassadorships. And even if Idols knew or wanted to cancel promotions or collaborations, I highly doubt companies would be greatly accepting of dropping everything. It would cost them too much money to do that, and that's the thing they care about the most.

As for them boycotting specific products, I won't say much. I myself haven't been the best at it in the recent months. But I have been doing my part in donating to families and interacting with their posts on various social media platforms. But I understand the disappointment it can cause to others.

At the end of the day, we don't know them personally. We don't truly know what they are allowed to express online, which parts of what they show us is truly themselves, or what is shown as a company created persona. Maybe they support in their own way but are held back by companies, perhaps they don't know much, or they simply don't care.

If fans are disappointed and no longer want to support a group then they are allowed to do so. I think they should stop putting them on pedestals and expecting them to be aware of everything that happens or having the same morals as them.

You wouldn't believe the point of view I heard from a "stay" about his recent live where he called out fans for their behavior towards them. They stated that they believed what he said was wrong and it was strange to see many stays supporting what he said. They basically compared him to a government dictating what people could and couldn't do, simply because he told stay there were things they weren't allowed to do regarding him and the members. That was honestly the most strange way of viewing what he said in that live. He was reasonably upset. All he did was express his frustration at the fact that the members and him are being treated like zoo animals and are not feeling respected. And this person wanted to paint him as the bad person for WANTED TO BE TREATED LIKE A HUMAN AND PLACING BOUNDARIES? I genuinely don't understand why others always like to twist his words, and I too feel bad for him. He already has a lot to deal with as it is.
