Time and time again, this rule must be repeated and hammered down in our brains.
I get it, not all members appeals to your preference or taste. But that doesn't mean you should be an ot3 when Blackpink has four members in total!
At the same time, you shouldn't just stan one member and make a huge boast about it. I'm talking to you nine year old solo stans! (Wait, why are you even on TikTok or Instagram in the first place? Isn't it age restricted? Where are your parents?!)
Don't like them? The main rule applies: just respect them.
Each and every members have a role to play within the group. Without them, the essence of the group will not be there, and it will never be the same when they had to leave or on hiatus.
It's okay to have biases in a group. It's okay to not appeal to certain members. It's just a human thing and not everyone can appeal to us.
But it's not acceptable to push your dislike to their faces and hate towards them.
Instead of showing it off online and face the wrath of the fandom and/or their agency (ahem, when a twelve year old got sued for her comments), keep you dislikes and unnecessary opinions to yourself.
