i didn't want to speak about this situation because it's still deeply triggering for me and has taken a serious toll on my mental health
however, i feel like one thing needs to be said because it's simply unfair to involve Evan and EVERs in this
first of all, what happened to the girl is truly heartbreaking. no one deserves to be harassed or bullied, and everyone who contributed to creating that kind of environment should be held accountable
that said, if we're going to have an honest conversation about harassment and bullying, then we also need to acknowledge where the main hate train against heeseung actually came from and started. many of the same people from his former fandom who harassed him, sent him death threats, created ai gore of him, and participated in spreading hate are also the same people who bullied that girl. shifting that responsibility onto Evan or EVERs is simply unfair
please don't project your fandom's actions onto innocent artists and fans. many of us have personally experienced harassment from that same fandom simply for defending evan, making harmless jokes, or expressing harmless opinions. i have received harassment, death threats, and countless insults myself, and i'm far from the only one many EVERs have gone through the same experience and unfortunately many of us are still dealing with it despite having done nothing harmful.
EVERs had absolutely nothing to do with what happened, holding an innocent artist and an unrelated fandom responsible for the actions of other people is neither fair nor accurate. accountability should be directed at those who actually caused harm, not at people who had no involvement in the situation
if the goal is truly to promote a healthier fandom culture, then that accountability must be applied fairly and consistently. please stop involving innocent artists and fans in a situation they had no part in.
Evan and Enhypen are different artist
Ever and Engene are different fandom different community
Know the difference and don't involve others when heeseung himself getting so much hate already please 🙏🏻
please guys, prioritise your mental health. If things are ever getting too much to handle, speak to friends and family you trust and seek professional support if needed. Social media is a very scary place, deactivate your accounts and take a step back to focus on your wellbeing.
THIS!! some of you bring the worst part of yourselves here thinking its okay bc its internet, but you're hurting real people with your words, online anonymity isn't an excuse to treat human beings like disposable targets. fan spaces are supposed to be about fun, passion and community, but toxic fan culture has normalized harassment to a scary degree. at the end of the day, there is a real person behind every screen reading those hateful words, think before your write the most mean and hurtful words to someone
“am i too excited? im sorry, i was just too alone. was it too much?” my heart just shattered. first you were complaining that he was talking too slowly, now you’re telling him to calm down? people find something new to complain about every single time. he was literally just listening to music, dancing and having fun. if that bothers you so much then leave omfg stop making him feel small
End of a chapter, but the miles stay with us forever. Thank you for being part of the 'Ride or Die' journey with evxntrack. Until the next horizon, please stay tuned!
