[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

I want to expand the post I made earlier in the week, about not being able to participate in the fandom community on tumblr. It was indeed the result of accumulated frustrations over the weekend (and over the years truthfully) and written hastily on a Tuesday morning. As a result, some of you thought that I'm leaving for good, which is not the case. I can understand that response, considering my months-long break in 2023.

There's several things that I've mulled over for some time and some of you are familiar with my complaints, but I'll try to encompass some of the issues that I've identified.

I believe that a disregard toward fandom practices and etiquette is still at the root of why being part of online communities is getting more and more difficult. Despite not having actively engaged in a fandom prior to 2020 and BTS at that time, I was familiar with tumblr and its fandom spaces since 2011. I gradually learned how they thrive, what's the focus, the role of fanart and discourse of all its contributing members. And before tumblr, I was an avid reader/participant in film forums.

The point is, there were rules. Some written in many cases, but others not. In any case, we learned them along the way because it was in our best interest. Hence, I want to focus next on tumblr, with its tagging system and the ability to send anonymous asks.

At a first glance, such features end up opening the doors to fan spaces, giving more access, but also making the users be the ones responsible on making sure that space remains protected in a way. But because we are humans and with flaws, conflicts always arise. I've seen it many times, so it's not like what I'm witnessing today is out of the ordinary (except that it happens excessively).

The tags are a navigation system and a window into a fandom space. Now that fandom can be made up smaller sub-sections of the larger community, each with their own tagging system. If we respect the tagging system, then we can avoid conflict as much as possible. To bring this back to BTS and ships (because this is where my issue started), it would mean that those shipping jikook have their own designated tag which is then used for ship-specific posts which in turn leads to creating a community of people interested in the same ship and which participates in that ship discourse. It's a space designated through the specific tag towards a group of people. This applies to all shipping groups.

The logical thing and perhaps the most important decision to a conflict-free experience is to remain within our own shipping communities. Simply because that is our interest. We have all the freedom to check any other tag on tumblr, but we respect the etiquette. Hence, as someone who is interested in jikook, which comes with an entire set of beliefs and ship lore, etc., I will not go and disrupt another shipping space (ex. vmin, taekook, jinkook, and so on) because I'm not part of that community and my own affiliation and interest is in opposition with whatever I could find somewhere else. Protecting our peace, right?

The same logic is to be applied to anonymous asks. I've never been against its existence and I support the concept behind it. I understand that some people want to remain hidden and more often than not, a lot of conversation in discourse-prone spaces is driven more through anons than the comment sections. But in order for this to remain within respectful limits, we should apply the same logic as we do with tags. I have no interest in sending an anon asks to a vmin or liskook blog. Neither when "my ship" is doing something or not. I remain in my space because it literally has nothing to do with other bloggers. It sounds simple because it is. Too bad we are now in an age when functional illiteracy has become much worse and I'm afraid it will continue to affect any communication, particularly online.

What has happened now is that such common sense rules are being completely disregarded. For two reasons:

1. Fandom etiquette is being ignored because fandom spaces have been invaded by people who are not willing to understand such communities and how they work. It's why we hear much more often reactions such as "rpf is gross, you're weird", "you must be sick in the head for shipping people" and so on. A lot of us who have been here for a long time are nerds. To various degrees and in different fields. It's why we use internet in such ways and why we become parts of fandoms. But now, those who usually do not engage in any of this, have broken the doors and came in with their own rules. Or lack of rules. Covid made a lot of people reach such levels of boredom that they inevitably discovered that they can be ignorant and act like bullies in other people's spaces.

2. Those who became part of the jikook tumblr community have also contributed to this sub-fandom crisis, which has gotten worse in the last few years because of the type of blogging they choose to go with it. This is a shift that has taken place around 2021-22 when "bulletin board" type of blogs became popular and have in turn turned those bloggers into spokepersons.

What do I mean by that? It is a practice when a blogger writes less original posts (either analysis, jokes, you name it) and in turn focuses on posting the anon asks they receive, without using any critical thinking. Everyone and everything, from genuine people, to trolls, can send their little messages because the chances are high that they will be posted. Often times with barely any answers. Sometimes none at all (the worst option in my opinion and the most damaging. Clean your inbox using the delete button, not answer!). Even in cases when the blogger chooses to engage critically with the statements made in an ask, they fail to recognize a troll and thus, all they do is offer a platform.

This is now the norm in many jikook tumblr blogs and is probably happening as I write this. The community itself is also at fault for allowing this festering of trolls that in turn became parasites, as they use blogs to spread whatever they want. And why not, when that door is largely open?

My choice of not using the tag or regularly closing my anon option is nothing but self censorship. Which I fundamentally oppose and reaching this point has, among other reasons, saddened me. By doing that, I retreat from real fandom participation which means the circulation of fan contributions (be it gifs or commentary, analysis). People on tumblr don't reblog posts anymore, the ratio often time shows more likes. It is against the tumblr mode of operating. But even in such cases, engaging with each other remains important.

I understand that shutting down the means to do it is ultimately wrong and thus I don't bring my contribution in making sure a community is not destroyed completely.

But it is demoralizing. It is tiring. It becomes a process of blocking accounts and anon asks daily. The moment I publish a post, I then expect the worse. Because even if I don't allow any trolling on my blog, the core of this fandom space is rotten.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I will not use the tags anymore because I do not want to send any signals that I'm active. Anon asks will be enabled, but I will turn them off from time to time. Again, in order to retain control of my space.

You're saying, Taekook are so popular and their ship is spreading like wild fire. And you also say Tkkrs are Tae leaning.

So that means, it's Tae that is popular. He's catching more fans. Tae keeps name dropping Jungkook, so it makes sense why Tae leaning stans move towards tkk ship naturally. And it benefits JK too. I remember JK gained millions of followers on IG so fast after Tae posted a tkk pic.

And majority of the fandom are tkkrs, so it makes sense that JK is liked by them. Eventually when they figure out tkk aren't real, they'll dump JK and turn into a Tae solo cause they are Tae leaning after all.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when shippers turn solos. Tkkrs, jikookers and jinkookers form majority of JK's supporters. And his own solos are useless anyway, some kids based in India or some 50 yr olds based in Korea. Both don't know sh.t.

You stating the obvious really he is the most followed member of the group. People like to think it means nothing but clearly don't know how social media marketing and algorithms works.

The more followers he has, the more likely his account is likely to be recommended to new users and persons who search for BTS on the page. Which in turn guarantees he gets more traction and exposure than the other accounts thus more more followers 💀

I mean think about it, he has more followers because he has a higher conversion rate. He easily turns clicks and views to followers. That's a good metric to have.

On the flip side, the more followers an account has the lower their engagement rate gets as compared to smaller accounts. 10% engagement rate can easily translate to 50% to 90% engagement for a relatively smaller account because 10% of a lot of followers is still a lot of followers for a bigger account.

Do the math. If a person has 5 million followers with 50% engagement rate and another has 30 million followers with 10% engagement rate thats still 500000 more engaged followers than the person with 5 million followers.

I don't know an actual shipper to turn into a solo unless they forced themselves to ship a pair or were faking to be shippers in the first place.

Shippers are shippers because they ship two people they stan and enjoy seeing together 💀

Tae is also the most shipped idol in kpop with Jungkook trailing right behind him. So the exposure is not just coming from Tae's solo activities such as his acting, modeling, variety shows, his Wooga squard its also coming from his over ship Fandoms.

Jungkook equally has his own famous friendship group and several other ships outside BTS and that intersection can put him at an advantage.

I don't know Jimin to be part of a relevant external friendship group that can organically pull crowd towards him which is not necessarily a bad thing. He did in the past but....

His association with Kai, Taemin, Sungwoon.... well, that only goes as far as those idols remain relevant and lately, honey☹

Also numbers don't necessarily translate to much if a person has a lower conversion rate but it does help in terms of how much one gets paid by brands or platforms on those platforms.

So while Tae may be followed by too many kids on the app who may be too young too low income to support his own product release, it doesn't mean it doesn't make him a higher earner amongst brands or by IG if their goal is just to nurture his young audience, expose their products to them and ensure long term commitment to their brand, or future conversion of those young audience into customers.

They may be willing to pay him more just to gain exposure to his younger audience while persons like Jimin with a mature audience may be good to have where one aims to make a quick or immediate sale.

Marketing is a complex industry and I hate the over simplicity with which we approach conversations about BTS and their commercial value.

But..... very well.
