Fans fight with each other, or fans get into trouble. Why blame the idol?

Hello, host!

I think your questions are great and I'm happy to share some of my thoughts with you.

The relationship between idols and their fans is a bit like a dialectic.

First of all, I think an idol becomes an idol because they're in a group with a bunch of fans. We call that a "fan club." The idol's identity is tied to the fan club. You could even say the idol exists because of the fans.

The quarrels and conflicts between the fan groups are basically confrontations between the two groups. Even if the idol doesn't want to get involved, they can't stay out of it.

2. One person's behavior can quickly become a group problem.

Sometimes, fans' behavior is pretty personal, but for various reasons, it can easily turn into a group problem.

First, because fan groups are so cohesive and share common interests and beliefs, they're quick to accept and support individuals. This can lead to group behavior.

Second, people with ulterior motives can easily exploit the personal actions of fans. In particular, once they are labeled as "fans of XX idol" and exaggerated and spread, they will set off a storm, instantly turning into a fight between the two fan groups, and the situation is likely to intensify.

3. When it comes to group behavior, it's hard to stay out of it.

When some fans act in a way that affects the whole group, it can have a knock-on effect on everyone involved.

In his book The Crowd, Le Bon talks about the main characteristics of a group.

First, there's impulsiveness and fickleness.

They're also susceptible to suggestion and gullible.

The third thing to look out for is emotional exaggeration and simplicity.

And finally, we have bigotry and authoritarianism.

And finally, a low IQ.

At this point, the fan group has become a group of people with "simply exaggerated emotions, impulsiveness, paranoia, arbitrariness, and a lack of rational thinking ability." Based on the influence of these emotions, the other fan group, which is fighting against them, naturally directs their attacks at the most important core of this group—the idol—to deal a painful blow to the other side.

This is basically online violence.

Ultimately, the idol has very little control over the group's actions. It's challenging for an individual to influence the direction of group behavior. This is why it's not uncommon for idols to be implicated because of some of their fans.

Hello, I'm Strawberry.

Many people star-chase for different reasons, so opinions vary.

Fans are hot-tempered, self-centered, and more concerned about their own feelings. When we hear things that we don't agree with, we have to defend ourselves. In a fan group, we are just a little fan.

If you're a fan, you should think about how your words and actions might affect your idol. Why should the idol take the blame for a fight between fans?

? Bad management

When should fans be held responsible for quarrels between fans in an official group? If there is a group manager for the idol, and the manager can't handle a conflict, then the fans should be held responsible.

As an administrator and maintainer, you need to set rules for people entering the group when you create it. If the group members follow the rules, it will be easier for the group owner to manage. As long as it is managed properly, the number of group members is not a problem.

In an official group, the idol and the fans are one. The idol needs the fans to feel recognized and affirmed. If the group is not managed well, the idol is responsible for the fans' mistakes.

Behind idol worship

We regard people as idols because we project our own characteristics onto them.

I used to be a fan of a celebrity. He wasn't handsome, but I admired his talent and persistence. I liked how he worked hard to achieve success despite limited resources. I wanted to become someone like him.

Idols have power. They should be careful about how they act and what they say. They are role models for us. That's why people follow them.

Look at what caused the quarrel.

Fans should stick together to protect their idol. Why do they argue in chats? Just talk about the matter. We all like the same idol, but we like different things. This can lead to arguments.

Some fans will tolerate an idol's unacceptable actions if they believe the idol wants to do it. This is like toxic love, where fans insist on supporting the idol even when most people say they are wrong. If this causes an argument, the idol should take responsibility.

Be a sensible fan.

While following our idols, we should get our own lives in order.

If it's a quarrel caused by a so-called black fan, it's about competition and interests, which fans can't control. A public relations professional can help. Sometimes, a calm view of events helps resolve things faster.

I hope this helps.
