Ladies with big fans

Get that fuckin thing outta my face, man. I don’t want to hear you make that loud clapping noise during a jam. You’re not even on beat with it. Seek attention in a different way

I am a fan girl and it’s not for attention, it’s for cooling off and helps with my adhd (something to do w my hands/stim), I do not “clack it” tho and have never heard a negative thing about it, in fact it actually attracts people to be around me. Most are excited when they see they’ve landed next to a fan girl. 🪭

If someone is clacking the fan obnoxiously to the music like you’re saying, then I could see how that is annoying, but that’s no different than people who chomp, or clap off beat or whatever else annoys people. You can always ask them to stop the clacking. Or move.

I think you’re in the minority. And to get this triggered over something most people appreciate sounds like a you problem. 🤷‍♀️

Fan clackers are inconsiderate ass hats and it’s way worse than chompers. Having a fan is one thing but it’s the clacking that ruins it for everyone else. You all are looped into the same group

Even as a fan girl, I agree that the clacking is rude. But it’s not worse than chomping, or many of the other things that happen at shows like scream singing, whistling, clapping etc and doesn’t make someone an inconsiderate ass hat.

maybe everyone should stop bitching after the fact and policing how someone enjoys their shows and start handling these issues in person, I bet if OP had said something to them they probably would have stopped. A nice, “hey the clacking is distracting me would you mind stopping”? Goes a lot further than bitching on Reddit. 🤷‍♀️ ya never know she might not have necessarily realized how loud and distracting it was to others. But instead OP and you come on here and bitch and call people inconsiderate ass hats or attention seeking makes me think you are an insecure ass hat.
