What Is Your Opinion On A Male Being A Part Of A Boy Band Fandom That Is Known For Their Crazy Antics, Screaming, Lust, Etc.?

[MM305]

Should the male feel disgraceful/stupid for being a part of such a fandom that has a really bad negative stigma with them because of their antics (like cutting themselves when a member leaves, screaming manically, being into these guys ONLY because of their looks/lust)?

Not to mention, the face that a boy band fandom consists of only females (with possible gay men in there), do that male who is straight will be a minority/outcast in that fandom.

What do you guys think about the male being a part of a fandom like this

Probably something he'll soon grow out of.

Ah- some more guilty pleasures threads. Welcome back.

[Mamyalynne]

Look back through all the many answers you have had on this - my opinion remains the same.

[MM305]

Which is?

[Mamyalynne]

How quickly you forget, I'm hurt, sniff.

Watch/listen/enjoy what you like.

lol Mamya

[Mamyalynne]

I think this is a drama/crisis mole hill/mountain type thing - been there done that ;-)

[MM305]

Mamyalynne - That doesn't tell me what is your opinion on a male being part of a boy band fandom. Cause even if the male fan doesn't care about the opinions, it doesn't change whatfolks like you really think about this)?

Do you personally think that male feel disgraceful/stupid for being a part of such a fandom that has a really bad negative stigma with them because of their antics (like cutting themselves when a member leaves, screaming manically, being into these guys ONLY because of their looks/lust)? OR do you believe it's perfectly fine that male is part of this fandom?

Do whatever you like... I think most of us have said this already. What answer would you prefer? X

[Mamyalynne]

I fee it's fine.

Any shame the male feels is self inflicted.

[Mamyalynne]

If fandom pushes him into self harm he needs help.

[spathiphyllum]

A male being part of a boy band fandom? Who cares.. We're living in 2019 be who you want to be.

[pixie374]

Spath, I love the way you manage to make "2019" sound somehow progressive :-)

Your only problem is your lack of faith in yourself. You should have the confidence to accept that you can't change what you like or dislike in life.

People will laugh at you, as you would at them, but the secret is to laugh back - don't take it as a personal insult. If you do that they will just accept you for who you are.

Life is a tough journey, you have to be strong to make that journey, self-doubt screws that up.

[MallyJ]

Each to their own. No one should be criticising others for liking something/ someone they don't...or wearing clothes that another wouldn't wear or reading books that others don't like etc etc...why would you...I would be happy that the person is happy and enjoying his life....Why would you not try to see what makes this person joyful about the band instead of being odd about it? You aren't really old are you? This is often a stance taken by old people who are set in their ways.

[Old_Geezer]

I don't believe that the gender or sexual preference is relevant. Anyone unable to control themselves need to consider why not. Especially over some two bit band and it's members.

[MM305]

Wolf63 - Why should a male laugh about being bullied/made fun of? Especially if it hurts him?

[MM305]

Plus, what’s all of y or r guys take on the boy band fandom in general?

Especially when you see some of the antics they pull (like cutting themselves up or screaming like an uncontrollable freak)?

If the answer is it is bad, then why do you think a male should be a part of such a fandom (especially when it consists of only females, making him the only male)?

They don’t explain what YOUR guys opinions on about the boy band fandom.

What’s your guys opinion on it? And why or why not a male should feel disgraceful for being a part of it (considering the antics they pull plus the fact that it consists of females only)?
