How to Deal with Haters on a FAN STAND POINT

The social media is a powerful tool in the twentieth century. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are the top three social media where everyone can say about anything to anyone. They simply can either make or break someone elses career. This year, Philippines premier NOON TIME SHOW EAT BULAGA is making a big wave in social media on their accidental love team in a KALYESERYE Segment.

The birth of ALDUB is merely an accidental match up of actor, host, and recording artist Alden Richards and the YouTube Sensation, The DUBSMASH Queen of the Philippines Maine "YAYA DUB" Mendoza. Their fans made sure they talk about them in social media and they made sure they trend everyday! They also hold the highest number of tweets in 24 hour making at least 12 Million Tweets. Their undeniable popularity, their social media popularity is now being talked about from politicians to newspapers. However, there is also a growing number of bashers and haters from different shows of the other network.

In my standpoint as an ALDUB FAN (gosh I can't believe I called myself a FAN for the longest time I was never a fan of anybody LOL), the network war is either instigated by a severely damaged / rapid downtrends of viewership from the other show due to popularity. Its business so they really have to do something to either retain their viewers or to at least make sure they survive until the chaos die down.

Every fan should be made aware that there is no need for clashing. That the bottom line of everything is simply enjoying what we are watching.

Here are some tips from my point of view:

1. RESPECT - Every fan should never say or compare anything about the competitors show. That is their show and that their creative team has done a lot of effort prior to the show to make sure they will deliver what is asked for the show. Their concept is undeniable good so respect that.

2. PERSONAL ATTACKS - NEVER EVER RESPOND to haters and bashers who attacks you, your fandom, or your IDOL on a personal basis. This is a trap. They wanted you to respond they wanted you to react. So once you react you will now become the looser. They can always delete what they posted and make sure you appear as the person who attacks them first. It gives a bad publicity to your own idol. You are the reflection of who your idol is. Sad but true. I heard comments like "siguro ganyan si ganito ganyan kasi fan based nya eh". I am sure you dont want that. 

3. TAKE CRITICS LIGHTLY - you cant go away with critics. So instead of lambasting them why don't you take it as a mean for you to grow. If you think it is too personal then ignore it. Words are strikingly painful but always remember they don't know you and they are only saying things about you based on their wicked knowledge.

4. DON'T FUEL A FIRE - the best way to win over a person who is lambasting you or your idol is by simply being calm, ignoring, and if you ever need to reply. Simply reply it with GOD BLESS YOU and that's it. Also, there is block and unfriend button. If you cant take it anymore simply click on those buttons. You have more important thing to do than listening to the rants of a looser.

5. PRAY  - When you are upset, always pray. Remember the moment you talk back to this basher and haters you now become the looser not them because you allowed yourself to be trapped they set up for you. The best way is still to pray to calm you, to shower you with tons of patience.
