How to process BTS' fandom?

From recent ROM Grammy win, I can't help feeling triggered by massive reactions from BTS' fandom. I feel so triggered because they are so shallow with charts and numbers, and their argument is too dumb. Like, how should I cope with BTS Army fandom phenomenon? One Direction isn't this bad. I can't help questioning what is their reasoning, what is their drive, and why they become so devoted, it's almost feel like I can conclude that they need to find god, or they need to find greater purpose. So, how we specifically as Little Monsters should react?

By getting actual interests in our lives? You cannot LIVE on stan twitter, you have to find your life's purpose elsewhere. Who cares what stans think on twitter in 2021? This is not the " reign of pop" years back in 2009-2014 when everything was exciting. I truly don't get why people are obssesed with stan tw, to that point where it becomes a main interest in their lives.. Like just let it be

As for their fandom itself, they are mostly 10 to 16 year olds who have nothing smarter to do, and should be ignored

Let them do whatever they want. At least imo is none of my business so I don't care what they do/say.

If you've been around since 1D, then you've been in this fandom long enough to not let those stans bother you. Gaga's been around for over a decade and has accumulated numerous amounts of awards and acclaim. We should be well past the point of giving her haters the privilege of acknowledgement ESPECIALLY little kids who were sh*tting in their diapers when Gaga debuted.

If you still have a hard time doing that, find other hobbies/interests to keep your mind off that situation. There's literally no point in getting insecure over something as trivial as BTS or their degenerate stans.

Ignore them. Twitter standom in general is toxic, but the BTS stans are particularly toxic (obvs., not all but a large part of them). It's useless to "fight" them (fighting stans is dumb in general, anyways).

I'm usually of the mindset that it's okay to (gently) correct them if someone states something super awful/false/not entirely true about Gaga (or another artist), but one has to be careful about doing it so it doesn't get bad stuff trending about an artist (BTS stans love to get slanderous sh*t trending). That's one of the reasons I wish Gaga stans would just ignore BTS stans for the most part (also because stan wars are just toxic), because they will literally go on a twitter rampage and try to destroy another artist if they get "annoyed"  by other stans.

Edited: *Also, I'm vaguely annoyed (and suspect sexism plays a part) by how the music journalists/outlets clearly "court" the BTS stans for hits/RTs/etc since it's well known they are very active on social media. I've seen blue checks slam the Hive, monsters, swift, etc. for stan behavior but give the BTS stans a pass. At the end of the day though, all the twitter drama is just so dumb, though, but I would "think" professional journos would be above courting stans on twitter.

the only thing you're in control of in life is how you react. is it really worth fighting for? you have so much energy to use for other things, and is this one thing really important? in the end, they'll grow up and understand that it's pointless to obsess over a celebrity to the point of hurting others. kids will grow and learn. in the mean time, just focus on what you can control and what you want to get in order.

Thank you all for honest feedback and reality check. Yeah, i'm way too old for that child's play (i'm 28), and Gaga means everything for me and like yea it really bother me that they missed those deep insights and artistry from Gaga, and yeah we shouldn't really process anything bothering us. Your feedback truly helps me put things in perspective. So yeah, spare the kids some mercy.

Fandoms are beyond comprehension. Accept it for what it is and ignore it. The thank u, next approach :vegas:

You need to find other interests / hobbies, and focus on those. 

I don't understand why anyone would care about what pre / young teen strangers say online? :laughga:

They're all children and the adult ones have children mentality so just ignore them
They got a good slap in the face when they understood that streams doesn't mean acclaim

Don't pay attention to them, they are children. Bts is all they are living for, cause they have no life, that's the truth :trollga:as good sis Adarsh said, their anger won't last forever but ROM grammy will :firega:
