How I feel about the Johnny's Fandom and Company as of late
So before I begin, I want to start off by saying that I am in no way shape or form leaving the fandom, if you're my fandom friend please don't worry.
First off, over the summer of this year I decided to be honest with myself and admit that my interests in the group Sexy Zone was much greater than my interests in Hey! Say! JUMP. It had just happened. I still love JUMP and I will always follow them, but Sexy Zone won me over. However, lately Sexy Zone has been meaning 3nin which consists of Kento, Fuma, and Shori. Now, I love all of these members but I'm Marius biased. So lately because of the split a lot of fans seem uninterested in the group and it's saddening to me because I love them and can't imagine the company without them. Some fans seem to feel that Kento is too fake lately. Not even just idol fake, but straight up fake. I feel like that's only because he's the most in the spotlight out of all of them if you really think about it, he's getting dramas, he's oldest, he's out in the media just more outside of the group. I think Ijima is especially pushing Kento more because she knows he won't protest against her like Fuma had been doing. Kento is too fragile for that and honestly probably the shiest of them all interally.
Now yes, he's loud, a ladies man, and has a prince character but he's still human I think so I think he's dealing with A LOT lately and probably just overall the most in the company, the poor soul.
As for the fandom, I've been disillusioned to JE fans lately. I thought this was a majority nice fandom, but that is appearantly not the case like with the one fan emailing another fan's tweets to her job and she lost her job. That really shattered my image of the niceness here. It's been nicer than the Kpop fandom was to me, but still....
Overall it feels like it's a not worthwhile fandom at the moment with all the heart break and I just don't know what to do. I love the boys, but the company lately has been making some horrible decisions~ However it's not a bad company to work for, Compared to some other idol companies...like kpop companies and slave contracts. Johnny's at least, I feel takes care of you.
I do not feel like this is the best company in the world right now, however I would not say that it's the worst either. It's still a company I can support. The only thing I refuse to do is to buy 3nin Sexy Zone merchandise. I will only support 5nin. I'm still a sexy girl and I want to support the group through this difficult time, I hope it works out for them in the end though because i miss my baby Marius.
And as optimistic as this may sound I still feel like I picked the best fandom to be in, I have definitely been disillusioned to the fans here as a whole but I've connected with a lot of great ones which I didn't do before so I feel like this is my fandom home and I can't leave it.
