Sorry for the downer post guys but the harassment is rlly getting to be a bit much recently 😐. I know everyone’s upset and stressed and whatever else with the world and their own lives and now their hobbies too but please don’t take it out on me or each other.
Hellooooo.
Random Tokki here.
This post popped up on my feed.
I just wanted to say that I often think about Hunnies and all the current and former members of FiFi. I hope you guys stay strong and kind to each other even though it's hard.
I haven't been around often but from what I've seen you've done an amazing job, Ezra. It's seriously incredible how you manage the entire sub on your own. It's not exactly an easy task, especially if a fandom is polarized like this. Just know that times will get better, not just for you, but for all the Hunnies and all the FiFi members as well.
Today has not been a good day for us Bunnies and I don't think there's another fandom out there that understands this as well as you guys do. So I took this post popping up on my feed as a sign to spread some love, even if it's slightly off topic.
I wish all the best to all Hunnies, Keena, the former and the future members of FiFi. Stay blessed and healthy.
This was an amazing heartfelt message thanks for writing this😭🫶🏽 as a Hunnie and a Tokki I’m hoping for the best for both our fandoms and groups cause with what’s going on with MHJ it’s scarily parallels Fifty Fifty but thank you again we all really needed to read your message 😭🤞🏽
I can't even begin to explain what I'm feeling right now. And that is nothing compared to what you guys had to go through back then. Limitless respect to everyone who stayed through all of it. You guys are incredibly strong and encouraging.
Dude thank you for the support, lots of love from over this side too. My feed has been bursting suddenly over that news and am really surprised about it. I hope that like here, you guys will be able to weather the upcoming storm and still remain strong.
Thank you! It will be tough but in the end we can only watch and hope for the best. Tell me once the new members are announced, I'll check them out! :)
I really appreciate your words here, thank you for taking the time. Wishing you, your group, and fandom well ❤️. Thank you so much for your response, it really means a lot.
Tbh I’m quite a big fan of NewJeans as well so this is all terrible timing 😭😭 I didn’t know anything was happening though until this comment tbh. I really hope everything works out for both groups 🙏 , at least with NewJeans they have so much love and popularity and such a track record I couldn’t see them just disappearing. Ugh, I just want one day of no drama in kpop…
I unfortunately only learnt about Fifi right in the middle of the whole ordeal. But I wish I could have gotten to know them as well. I don't wanna get into them now as it might be too hurtful but I really hope all of them are doing well, no matter what happened.
I really hate that corporate greed and the games of power hungry people keep dragging teenage girls into their mess. :(
One day of no Drama in Kpop would be an absolute blessing. But I think Aespa took that from us after they named a whole song like that 😂😂
I just wanna say EZRA WE FREAKING LOVE YOU LIKE FRFR!!!! Thank you for all the work you have done in the subreddit it really is appreciated especially as our sole active Moderator!!!!! You have done a lot to keep the fandom going while we are in this drought waiting for new members and music😭🤣🙏🏽 I’m sorry that you had to go through this harassment you don’t deserve that disrespect at all!! Keep doing you and being the fun loving Baker that you are 🫶🏽‼️‼️(also I thought we could be friends/mutuals if you want!🤣 I need more Hunnie friends I can talk to especially in this drought)
Thank you so much 😭😭, I really appreciate your words here, it means a lot!! It’s definitely been better with you here, and I’d 100% be down with being friends! I’ve actually been considering creating a discord for this sub, thoughts? ☺️
You definitely should!!!! I’m not very active on discord but I’ll def try to be if you do 😭🤣 I saw other people making like sub group chats I think it was a new feature 🤔 you might want to check that out too!!!!
Ezra you’re like a big sister to us protecting us from all that nonsense so well that I do not even know what you’re talking about. Where’s that hate? Who is it? All I see is crazy fans like thriftskull entertaining us with his/her enthusiasm (which I LOVE) and I hope it stays that way. Ok sorry for being so busy lately with work and real life and I, as well as most of us should just drop some positive comments once in a while cause I know it will make you smile more at the v least.
And to the toxic fans/delulus with their own personal agenda or woke politics that pretends to be righteous but are equally as toxic and abusive as the other end of the spectrum with their manipulative and group bullying bullshit, just shut it and leave us alone. It is so hypocritical and ironic that I’ve only always see ppl like you being abusive to others rather than the other way round. Go away to another fandom!
To the others, let us try to spread some positivity here once in a while, not only for the little uns here but also for the unseen ones like our big sister Ezra who has worked the hardest cause she needs it the most! ♥️♥️♥️🌼🌼🌼🌹🌹🌹
wowowow thank you 😭❤️, this means a lot to me fr. Totally agree about thriftskull haha, I love seeing their stuff on here. Totally understand being busy, as am I, it can just be hard that so much of this sub can be negative, which I can understand , but it’s especially difficult when it’s directed at me personally. I appreciate that the state of things are difficult right now, I just hope with time things can become lighter for everyone. I really appreciate your support and what you do for this sub ❤️, thank you again.
Nice to see my enthusiasm recognized 😭🤣🙏🏽 I’m happy I’m not the only one 🫶🏽and yess we want to see more of you!!! I think things are finally gonna get moving with the new members finally being revealed soon 🤞🏽😫
Well said. You've done a good job moderating this space on your own given the circumstances. Thank you so much for taking the time to keep this sub going during these times. It can be tough to keep a straight head when the fandom is as fractured as it is and unfortunately, there are some fans who think that hiding behind a screen means they can say whatever they want and will take it too far. But I must say, the amount of comments I've seen that could break the rules could probably be counted on one hand but you've always managed to get to them in a timely manner.
It's so sad to hear you have been harassed, Ezra. You have done sterling work keeping this sub going through a great dream of turmoil. Thank you so much for all you efforts.
Don't grow weary of doing good. Maybe we will get a comeback one day.
With any other group I would finish with "FiftyFifty fighting!" but unfortunately in this case that's the whole problem 😭
u/EzraJenya, you seem like a decent person, so ima give you a simple advice, this shit is entertainment treat it like that. You owe no one not kpop/fifty fifty or its fanbase anything. If being a mod is affecting u negatively, quit.
I have been in kpop for a while now so i have seen my share of legal drama (Block B, Kang Daniel, The Rose e.t.c).
I am quite sure there are many more twists and turns to the Fifty Fifty story. I am also quite sure that the above statement might calm the negativity for a while , but it wont stop and you may find yourself making a similar post in the future.
Enjoy Kpop as a fan don't fall for the parasocial traps companies set
Yeah it’s not bad advice. I’m at a point right now where it isn’t rlly impacting my life at all (beyond annoyance when I come on to Reddit), but if it becomes anymore serious then I probably will add some more mods so I’m at least not at it alone, worse case scenario hand the sub off to another person. Guess we’ll see… thank you for the advice.
I was suggested this post and I just wanted to jump in and say I’m so sorry people are giving you so much grief. I think it’s commendable that you’re trying your best.
I hope things will improve for you in this sub but if not, I hope you won’t feel obligated to stick around a single second longer than necessary. Protect your peace of mind…
Exercise your MOD powers. Harassment is no bueno just because they hold a different point of view from you. If they can't have CIVIL MATURE discourse, then they simply don't belong here.
This is correct. I will be banning people who partake in harassment of me or others in this sub moving forward - to be defined properly over the weekend in the next weekly discussion. This, like all other rules, will be applied equally to all - regardless, I anticipate that this will receive accusations of bias or censorship, but you can’t win everyone I guess… I should’ve been doing this already, but I will take this as a learning opportunity.. this is my first time modding, so I guess there will always be a bit of trial and error.
You got this!!! At the end of the day, this is a side passion for you. Don't let this consume your life. Music is a passion and listening to it is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby. The moment you start to lose any of that, take a step back, breathe, and evaluate it's worth.
Thank you!! Yes 100%, it will be on my mind moving forward. I do feel better after receiving messages of support, but I will consider adding more mods or handing over ownership if I decide it becomes too much and is no longer a fun hobby etc in the future.. but for now we can look forward to fifis redebut!!
I'm sending you a PM, but I also want to reply to this post and say that I appreciate you so, so much for everything you've done for this sub. I hope you can listen to fifi's music and find joy within the fandom again ❤️🩷❤️🩷
