Hi guys,
So, as you have probably gathered, this is going to be a rant and I don't know how long it's going to be so here we go...Okay so, listen in you lil shits ;)
The 'Daddy' kink,
Okay so I have a question...Why? Why is this a thing? It's honestly very weird and disturbing. Whoever came up with this daddy kink thing has a weird mind. Band members are NOT your 'daddy!' If you call band members daddy, you honestly need to stop it because they don't find it cool, they find it really creepy so please for your own sake and dignity, stop it.
Oh this one should be fun, boundaries,
People need to learn that there are boundaries between yourself and your idol. Newsflash, they do not need to share every single little detail of their personal lives with us through social media etc. They are all people just like you and I, they have a right to have a personal life as well as the life they share with all of us through social media and that.
There are also physical boundaries. When you meet your idol or a celebrity or anybody, there is a physical boundary between you and them. If they don't want to hug, then you don't hug, do not make them uncomfortable. Do not touch them because it's fucking boundaries. Let them have some personal space because they're people just like you, do not act like animals.
Hating of the other half,
Hey guys, I have a question for you all. Imagine that you're a celebrity and you're with somebody who you're head over heels in love with but all of your fans hate on them, how do you feel? Does it make you feel good? No, no it does not so why hate on other people's other half? It must make them feel like absolute shit and you're the one causing that, it shouldn't make you proud of yourself.
Example time, Ashton and Bryana. All of the 5SOS fam know what Bryana said about them and yeah but you know what? That's in the past. I don't have the best opinion on Bryana but I would never ever send the girl hate. Ashton is happy, she makes him happy. Surely if you're a fan, all you want is for him to be happy and not hate on the person that makes him happy. Planning to actually throw eggs at the girl in the most fucking disgusting thing that I've ever heard that the 5SOS fam have planned. You are the reason the whole fanbase gets a bad name because it's honestly awful that you'd plan to do something like that. Also, James and Kirsty. I love James McVey he is just about my favourite person in the world, and hearing about the fact loads of fans threw insults at Kirsty just because they don't like her made me really sad. Yes, she made some mistakes first time round but you do not insult her because it's hurting her and it's hurting James and it honestly needs to stop.
Respect the people that make your idol happy. It's not their fault that you're jealous.
Hate within the fans,
Hating on other fans within the fanbase is not cool and it does not make you look big. It makes you look like an asshole to be honest.
The thing that annoys me the most in this area is hating on fans who have met the band/celebrity. It really, really annoys me. It annoys me so much because you're hating on them because you're jealous of them and it's ridiculous. You pick on somebody's appearance or personality just because of the fact you're jealous that they've met the person you want to meet. One day you're going to meet them too so just be nice to the people who have yeah? Thank you.
A fanbase is meant to be a nice place where we all make friends and share stories with each other and be nice to each other but that's not what it's like anymore. A fan should not be scared to make themselves known to other fans because they're scared of what others might say to them. It's horrible to see and it should not be the case in a fanbase. Just be nice to everybody around to you and make friends within your fanbase. The people that I've met through the bands I love are some of the best people I've ever met. Ever.
"14 Year Old's"
Okay, I'm probably going to get loads of hate for this but here we goooooooooo....
A few days ago Ashton Irwin did an interview for a magazine where he said something like '14 Year Old chicks don't judge your drumming' and yes of course, as the 5SOS fam always do, people overreacted to it. What Ashton said wasn't wrong really because let's face it, a lot of the 5SOS fam like 5SOS because they think they're hot. Yes, not all of the fam are 14 year old fangirls but a lot of what 5SOS see is probably just people screaming, telling them they're hot and begging them for follows on twitter so you can't be mad about it because let's face it, it's true.
"They're really hot, who cares about the music, lol?!"
The most annoying phrase that has ever come out of a fangirls mouth. The music is the essence of the band, I know, I know it's a huge shock. When I get into bands, the first thing I do is listen to the MUSIC and decide whether I like that band or not. I don't find a band, find loads of pictures of them and then decide I like them just because they're really "hot." A band or musician is doing what they're doing because they love music and want it to be their lives, they're not doing it to impress a load of horny fangirls who think they're really hot. Bands and musicians are about music and that's what their fans should be focusing on. When I listen to a band, I love listening to the wholesome drum beats and those beautiful guitar solos and those strong bass lines, I don't care what the band looks like, I just love the music.
"I've liked them longer than you, you're just a fake fan"
There are so many things wrong with saying this.
First of all, just because you've liked them longer or liked them "from the start" does not make you any better than any other fan. If you try to claim that you've liked them longer so you're a better fan, you're a bit of an asshole. It doesn't matter how long you've liked a band, if you've liked them for ten years or ten seconds, if you enjoy the music then you're a fan of that band.
For example, I've loved the band McFly for twelve years but I don't see myself as a bigger fan than somebody who became a fan today. We all love the band and that's what matters. That we love the band, what they stand for and the music they make. Their music makes me so fucking happy, they make me smile, they brought me loads of friends and they've made me laugh to no end and that's why I love them.
Never call somebody a "fake fan" because it will hurt them and it will hurt the band if they see you call them that. Also, you'll give yourself a bad name by saying it so really, it's not worth it at all.
Shippers.
Shippers. I ship Lashton as a friendship NOT as a relationship. Have you ever noticed that people start shipping two people romantically and then those two people see to become less close?
I'm going to use the biggest example here, Larry Stylingson. Now I was a Directioner between 2010 - 2012 and now I'm a Directioner again since about this time last year and I've always followed Directioners on twitter so 'Larry Stylingson' is something I see a lot. I've also seen a lot of people say that they don't seem as close as they use too and have you ever thought that might be because of all the shippers? Because it's making them uncomfortable? The fans are doing that to them and then getting upset because they're not as close anymore? Maybe dial down the shipping. It's honesty fine to ship people but don't post it everywhere to a point where the people are becoming very uncomfortable.
Begging for follows,
I follow a lot of people and some of those followers are the people who spend all of their time tweeting somebody begging them for a follow. Some people are on their like 5000th tweet to somebody begging them to follow them and quite frankly, it's fucking annoying. It spams everybody's timelines and the fact that you're sitting their begging constantly probably annoys the person that you're actually tweeting.
If I see somebody doing it I either mute them or unfollow them because it annoys the crap out of me.
Mobbing
Not going to lie, this one is something that pushes my buttons more than anything else.
It's not that hard, DO. NOT. MOB, BANDS. They are human beings, actual humans beings. You do not mob them. One time, I met a Youtuber called Brett outside New Street Station in Birmingham with my friend Georgia and he stood there and spoke to us for an hour and a half about anything and everything. Do you know why that happened? Because we did not mob him, we were really casual with him. Shayla and I met Olly Murs and stood there really casual about it and we went away, out of sight, and had a bit of a cry about it.
I honestly do not understand how anybody could mob somebody. Can you not step back and realise what you're doing is wrong? I would much rather stand there for a couple of minutes and have a normal conversation rather than scream in their face and tell them I love them. It makes them uncomfortable and it is so cringy. Remember how a couple weeks ago Ashton was with his grandparents and he cried because he was so overwhelmed when fans mobbed them, that's not okay. Step back and see that mobbing somebody is not the way forward and it ruins it for everybody else. They won't want to come and meet other fans because they're scared of being mobbed.
Also, when you mob a band then you can get injured of they could get injured. Would you want to be injured because everybody's running towards you and your idols? No. How would you feel if your idol stopped meeting people because other fans had hurt them? You'd feel like crap and be mad at the people that hurt them so listen, just don't mob them.
They're human beings, you're human beings so stop acting like fucking animals and be careful!!
Honestly, if you got offended by this rant, I'm not really sorry.
Back to normal posts next week,
Bye guys!
