As for fan reaction if that were to happen - an idol denouncing fans of his who are also anti-fans - I think there'd be a mixed response. There would be fans who'd feel guilty and stop with the hate, but then there would also be fans who'd be offended and stop liking that idol.
Doesn't SSF try to keep the site friendly towards other groups? I know they're big on Nothing Without 9, sometimes militantly so.
