Every fandom has its own quirks, dynamics, and target audience. However, this should not diminish the value of a fandom or a piece of media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTS and Taylor Swift are prime examples of artists who suffer from these misconceptions. Despite being at the forefront of their respective music genres, millions underestimate and mock them because of their fandom demographics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From haters to critics, many generalize their fans as crazy teenage fangirls and see them as\u00a0 untalented and unworthy of their achievements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This phenomenon is not new. Iconic bands such as the Beatles went through the same thing, leaving us to wonder how they went from being seen as boybands for hormonal girls to music industry legends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what is truly causing this? Effectively, it is the introduction of men into female spaces and the metamorphosis of those spaces to fit into the male gaze, or as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Guardian<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> labeled it, &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2019\/may\/29\/mentrification-how-men-appropriated-computers-beer-and-the-beatles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mentrification<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the advancements made in the war against sexism, the subtlety of sexism still reigns in our worldview. Look at how men scoff at the mention of Taylor Swift being considered a good musician or how they wrinkle their noses in the face of K-pop solely because of a general assumption based on a subsection of Twitter fans. The fact is that many men don&#8217;t connect or give certain artists credit because they think that they are unworthy of their interest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not until men turn these fandoms into something they dominate that society starts validating them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Trek illustrates this phenomenon. What is considered one of the top franchises for male geek lovers today, in its early days, was seen as a typical housewife show, before starships and computers became a manly thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most girls have probably heard &#8220;I bet you can&#8217;t name five characters&#8221; or &#8220;name five unreleased songs&#8221; or something to that effect. For most women, enjoying so-called male-targeted media comes with having your knowledge constantly tested to validate that you are a &#8220;real fan&#8221; and not a &#8220;poser.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All fandoms are open to everyone without any discrimination because they are a space for fans to interact with other fans. For many fandoms, fans exist worldwide, from nine-year-old girls to men in their early 20s or parents in their late 40s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be contradictory to say that all male fans are like this because many men in these female-dominated spaces enjoy the art much like their female counterparts and are looking to embrace and uplift it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a man cries over his favorite sports team winning, society doesn\u2019t consider them irrational, just passionate. So, why don&#8217;t we give girls this same grace? Just because one is more socially acceptable, doesn\u2019t mean one more is more valid than the other.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you like sports, TV shows, or books, fandom culture is spreading.
