I have my fandom and I love it. But I learned so many things in it, and I’m gonna share you a bit about it.
Keep real friendship, earn respect, value trust and don’t believe in everything you see or hear.
In JE fandom~
1. Respect every video and music uploaders~ Give credits, say thank you messages, no bad-mouthing, and follow their rules.
2. In
forums, clubs, groups etc~ Fandom maybe sharing but learn to follow
rules. Keep your mouth shut when a particular cluster said so.
3. To the fans~ learn to limit yourself.
Yheah, I myself have leaked something
precious to a person I thought I could trust also but I ended up being
betrayed and hurting the primary people involved. That person told to
other people the information. I learned my lessons and I’m writing this
to tell you something you probably don’t know.
What do I mean by “LIMIT YOURSELF”? To the fans~
There are some things that you can
publicly share/reveal just because you personally found out about it.
There are private things fans shouldn’t get themselves into. Sometimes,
because we think that this is FANDOM, it’s okay to tell everyone what we
think can be publicized when in reality, it should have been private.
It’s horrible knowing that sometimes we become this type of fans. Trash
fans as some may call it. We were so obsessed of being in fandom that we
tend to be like someone popular in this world too by being like
paparazzi who try to reveal everything about our favorite artists, not
minding whether it is private or public.
Fans always blame Johnny-san, the Staffs,
paparazzi’s, Hey Say Shoujo, Magazines, Interviewers, or other people…
when something bad happens or news, etc. But have you ever tried blaming
yourselves? I did. How about you? Yes? No? No. Reason, because you are
fans. And you always thought you are one heck good of a fan. Well, I’m
gonna tell you the reality. The real thing is sometimes, it is the fans’
fault why Johnny-san would at times disband a JE group or kick out an
individual artist.
Minna, please stop posting, blogging or
writing about JE stuffs unless it is officially announced to the public
by JE itself. You know why? Because sometimes, it’s what we posts that
creates chaos and rumors around the fandom world. One day, NYC, Arashi,
NEWS, or much more is Hey Say JUMP might end up getting disbanded or
lose members because of the privacy leakage fans posts online etc. about
what they know or find out about the JE Artists.
It may be your right to have freedom to do
whatever you like to post but there are times that it is not just
right. Sometimes we say that we just wanted to reveal the truth and only
the truth and share it to our fellow readers or fans. (What? Are we
reporters now? From Paparazzi to reporters and what’s next? Private
investigators? Tsk tsk.)
Guys, you don’t want the truth. You want a
story. Because of the fan’s sometimes bad obsession, you turn your
idols’ lives into your own little reality show. You build them up into a
big celebrity just so you can tear them down in public. Fans’ take away
the freedom, privacy, honesty to their idols.
So when
one said no re-uploading, re-posting or keep things that you read/hear
as a secret because of confidentiality~ ONEGAI~ please do obey it. If
more JE groups would get disbanded because fans get out of hand,
congratulations, you’ve created a celebrity topic. But don’t blame other
people, instead try to blame your little witty attitude as a fan.
It's not a sin to admire somebody, just
don't get too over-board and get obsessed. Always remember, you can be
an artist, yourself.
Sincerely,
-Mopy
