Pyros...why?
I love YoonHae, and I feel blessed to be in a SuperGeneration subfandom such as Pyrotechnics. I may not be that vocal among the Pyros (in fact, maybe I only posted once or twice in Pyro's forum), but I check the forum very, very frequently. Most of the times, I am so proud of this fandom. The people there are super nice -and what I like the most is that Pyro generally refrain themselves from fanwar. The admins of YoonHae Forum also often reprimand the members not to insult other pairing or to instigate any fanwar. That earns my total respect.
However, I can't help but to feel sad lately. I often heard that Pyro is dubbed as one of the "quietest" fandom, often mistreated, often attacked by other pairings' fandoms.
BUT what my eyes are truly seeing... lately we, Pyro, haven't been that nice either. PLEASE note, I don't mean to generalize all Pyros. I stick to my belief that most of the Pyros are really, really, really nice. But a small part of us... sadly can even be more hostile than those other pairings' fandoms.
I've heard where Pyro complained how IceFishies keep coming to YoonHae video just to say "Haesica is real!" or something. But I also witness it myself how Pyro come to Haesica video to say "Haesica is fake. Yoonhae is real" or something. It's...really unsettling. Where is the peaceful Pyros that I've loved? I agree, it hurts a lot when our Yoonhae is attacked, but to me, attacking back is NOT mature at all.
Defending YoonHae is fine. But attacking the others are never fine.
My OTP will remain YoonHae, but the fanwar gets ridiculous.
I may not have any right to say this. But to any other pairings who are offended, I apologize. Please, please believe that not all Pyro are rude. Let's just happily ship our pairings!
