What do you like and dislike about being a K-pop fan?

a radiant blackout, the dance of shadows.

001 : I dislike the competitiveness between fandoms and the K-Pop industry itself. It gets toxic really fast, to the point idols get hated on or dragged by other fandoms just because they're successful. K-Pop fans can be bitter and jealous when it comes to this.

001 : I like having a sense of belonging when I joined the K-Pop community. I can find people who has the same love for my ultimate groups like me. With the same interests as me. They fangirl with me when I gush over K-Pop idols. They get me when I enthuse over the art of music in K-Pop songs.

002 : I dislike how K-Pop fans cannot hold their idols accountable when they do something wrong. Seriously, it baffles me seeing how you're defending someone like your life depends on it when you don't even know them personally. Holding idols accountable is not hating on them.

002 : I like seeing other fandoms celebrate their group's achievements. It makes me happy seeing them succeed, even though I don't stan them. Humans doing well in life is something I always feel giddy about.

003 : I like reading informative answers about K-Pop groups I'm mildly interested in. A little bit of facts and endearing details about them gets me closer to stanning them. I especially love hearing them from their fans.

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

003 : I dislike how K-Pop songs are so short now. I know I have a short attention span, but that isn't the case when it comes to music. Are they doing this so that more people would stream their songs faster? A lot of them don't even have bridges included just to shorten the songs.
