I am on Twitter or social media but I only use it to get clips of the show i may have not read everything in there. As here Abhira fans are at least not mocking JS. At least I have seen him from SGP days and I will try his new show which has comedy elements usually, I am up for comedy shows and he is good with it. But here I have signed up for Abhira and whatever we discuss it's solely for Akshu and Abhinav and I usually have problems more with Akshu than Abhinav. In my OS also I have made Abhinav a positive person as my major concern was Akshu trusting a stranger and not taking up her career seriously. As I always felt akshu being educated should not take such steps. If abhinav was her friend i would still be okay with her decisions.
I am seen as a Nav stan... But I am not much affected by it as I know I am not one..
Abhira fans have stopped coming out and replying on any posts as they just want to ignore questioning and moral policing at some point. Which is not good as people tend to avoid putting out their opinions in order to avoid negativity. Even I sort of only reply to some posts now in which I feel my likes and pov will not be questioned and people don't attack me for choosing abhimanyu over abhinav.
Yes, I like him the most.. and I will defend his actions.. if they are defend-able but I am not going like Nav Blindly... If he does something horrible.. I will not see him anymore..
That's the difference. Some fans know ITV from long time. and everyone knows ml will be ruined in order to bring leap. Even maa where Anuj was everyone's favorite has been butchered and shown insensitive and he is going gaga over his lost adopted child over his 26year old love. But this is done for trp. so some of us skip those irritating epis and start watching again when everything goes normal. As those actions were brought in order to add masala to the drama. Even I skipped white day episodes as it was horrible.
And I also make sure to add 'toxic' and 'non-toxic' prefixes for Abhira fans for my serious answers..

But Diya... If you know you are not a toxic shipper.. then you shouldn't let this generalization affect you...
My point was when we are feeling so bad for js i wanted to tell other forum members that mocking members based on their choices is also bad. Like if I want akshara to be career oriented women and wanted her not to depend on Abhinav people call me out saying there is nothing bad in moving on and she was in trauma and i do not understand trauma patients and i am non empathetic. But my point was not even that. She married Abhinav without love. He was a total stranger. If he was her friend I can still understand. She should be shown as an example for ppl who are watching it to give the message "Don't let your trauma to control you". But rather than understanding my point, i have been called out as unrealistic, non-empathetic. Which also hurts me.
But sad reality is there are non-toxic normal and sensible 'abhira' fans as well as non-toxics normal and sensible 'nav'/navra fans.. but because of their toxic counterparts everyone will be maligned.
like the saying goes..
one fish can spoil the whole lake...
and here there are many many toxic fans..
Yes, it should be both ways we should not generalize. I have moved on from all those posts and stay away from getting involved in any arguments but we should not just start questioning human choices for a fictional character.
As everyone makes choices based on their experiences. Like people who know Anupama did wrong by supporting shah fam will understand Anuj.
But people who knows anuj accepted her with her past and now he questioning her about going to shah and leaving his 26 years love will question Anuj.
Similarly for akshu, People who have seen her confidence her passion for singing will look for confident akshu than a person who dependent on abhinav.
People who have seen akshu with abhi and only remembers white day and some of his anger scenes they would prefer akshu staying with abhinav.
Everyone has perspective. We should not get involved in personal attacks for a fictional character as similar to jay soni forum members also are humans.
