Disclaimer this chapter does not speak about the whole fandom I am an Exo-L myself, my ultimate bias is also in this group. I also have many friends who like them and are completely normal, so this doesn't apply to the whole fandom.I absolutely love Exo. Very talented, they were the group I first saw, and my ultimate bias, Chen, is in the group. I am a very big Exo-L/ Exotic. All of Exo is an amazing group.
Them we get to the fandom...yeah...a lot of them are...interesting. And by interesting I mean immature and obnoxious.
Now, in my opinion, you know I don't find anyone is the best, music is a preference. It's what you prefer. You may prefer Big Bang over Shinee, 2PM over 2NE1, etc. I do not think anyone is the best. I have favorites, but I don't acknowledge them as the best.
Then there are Exotics who think Exo are the best, no question about it! All people who question will be punished!!There are always these kind of people in every fandom, but there are a lot of Exotics, more than average, who think like this. And it's honestly very annoying.
When I am watching and enjoying a song and video from B.A.P, I don't want to see an obnoxious Exotic saying how Exo is the best. If you want to talk about Exo, talk about it with Exotics, on m/vs, fan pages, whatever. But when we want to focus on B.A.P, we don't really care about Exo at the moment. We want to socialize with babies, with people who enjoy the same song.
Also they seem to love to cause Fanwars with other Fandoms, and especially Shawols, which I was kind of surprised at first about that, because Exo and Shinee are very close friends, especially Taemin and Kai, two of the most popular in their groups.
Also, the fandom practically split once Kris left...and to this day, I am still seeing nasty comments about Kris, and now Lu Han, since he left also, just not as many. About how Kris betrayed Exo, he shouldn't of left, etc.
Ok, first of all, it's his fucking life, not the fandoms. He can do as he pleases, and if he was unhappy and suffering ( which isn't surprising considering SM's track record with the mistreatment of artists) he can leave. Ok, good, case close.
Haha, nope! 5 months later we are still fighting about the same thing...Look, I'm not an aggressive or demanding person, but MOVE THE FUCK ON ALREADY. Stop with the 12-11=0 bullcrap, or 12-10=0 shit, it's over, it's done, it's old news, move on with your LIFE.
And don't even get me started on Exo Sasaeng fans. They are giving TVXQ sasaengs a run for their money. In a few years, I think they will beat the level of craziness TVXQ Sasaengs have, they are right under them for now.
I love this fandom, I love the people in this fandom. What I don't love is that immature fangirls are chasing off new fans, and some people won't even join the fandom, because they are so awful. The L in Exo-L means love, but all these fans are doing is hating, which isn't right.
