A tribute to STAND (Strong Til All Nine Disappear)

The bitter, international anti-fans who thrived on recycled circlejerks and stagnant hate conspiracies.
What ever happened to them?


A short while ago, a couple anti-SNSD macros posted to Chatango rustled many jimmies, and led to a huge lulz-orgy. If there is anything more hysterical than a delusional fangirl, it's a delusional anti-fan. Eager to be entertained and possibly to boost my self-esteem, I casually looked up the STAND forum. It was gone.

Well, that was unnecessarily dramatic. It was still there, but registration was closed, and the latest comment was from over 6 months ago. I was disappointed, but also immensely proud, as a single, manly tear ran down my cheek (on hindsight, it might have been due to the Beatles ballad that was playing). There was no doubt that they had STOOD, unwavering, unashamed.

...Yes, they faltered before all nine disappeared, in fact, before any had. Yes, the very concept of convening at a forum to hate someone (note: that isn't some sort of threat to society (I realized arguments could be made in this case, shhh)) was pathetic. Yes, they were kinda stupid. However, they stood (not my best pun) for what they believed in, and braved one of the craziest fucking fandoms in all of Kpop. Also, now that they're "dead", we're allowed to conveniently forget all their shitty qualities (it's sort of what we do with dead people / things that we no longer have, you see). So, without further ado.

LET'S DEIFY THIS MUDDA.

*Cue slideshow music*

Literally fucking hilarious. Colorful too.

"Kao Kao"

Zaku-tier quality.
