On the Topic of Community

Fair warning – this MAY be a bit of a ramble. Just follow along with me here, if you don’t mind. 🙂

So for a few months now, I’ve been really focused on the idea of “community”.

As I mentioned in the Discourse: Eliminating Toxicity post, I’ve been in fandoms of assorted kinds for all of my adult life. Gaming, LARPing, sci-fi, etc – but one of the things I’ve done that I am most proud of is working for assorted local conventions.

There is something so very satisfying to me about being one of the organizers of an event that brings people together. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves, united in some kind of common love for something, truly brings joy to my heart.

Discourse: Eliminating Toxicity

Hello all! I’ve been kind of busy for the past few weeks, between the ATEEZ comeback and the SHINee comeback, so I haven’t been posting much. Been listening to a lot of music, and also attending a few local K-Pop events in the New Orleans area, which I’ll be posting about soon!

But for now, the blog’s gonna take a bit of a serious turn. Because in the past couple of weeks – hell, since I started becoming more involved with the K-Pop fandom in the past year – I’m noticing a major difference in how fans interact with the groups and each other, and I feel the need to talk about it.
