However, it's not just the STAYs who gave up before we gave our best shot at winning that made me frustrated. It was also the number of people posting around the end of Han's poll, and again at the end of Minho's poll about how tough the competition was and how it was impossible to win because of that. Why are we putting so much emphasis on how big, or how biased the votes are given to other fandoms? In my opinion there is no point in saying that if you're just going to give up and cause confusion in the plans we made and agreed on.
We need to be on the same page.
I'm not trying to blame anyone or say what they did was wrong, but I want to share my perspective of how it affected our voting and morale. That's why I'm trying to not only point out what we did wrong, but also what we can improve and fix to do better. It's obvious that we are not going to win every poll, but the lack of effort that we can see, through votes for our boys in the polls, is really disheartening.
Reading through this might be a little tough and you might not agree with me, but these are suggestions I want to make to start a discussion with everyone so we know what's going on. That's why I suggested a platform where we can discuss these ideas and where everyone can contribute in their own way. The platform that a lot of STAYs have agreed on is Facebook. staystaystayy made the group called "You make Stray Kids Stay". If we want to work properly together, I think this is a great first step to keep all our ideas in one place and it's much easier to keep track of there instead of on the Fanplus board.
Again, I want to emphasize that these are suggestions, and you don't have to agree with me. If I write anything that's factually incorrect or toxic, please let me know in the comments. You can also add your thoughts on the topic!
